The Efreeti

Children of the Desert Sun

The Efreeti are a mysterious people who dwell only in the inhospitable deserts north of Khayu. Solitary by nature, each Efreeti seek out lonesome rocky peaks where they can bathe in the warmth of the sun's radiance, be nourished by it, and watch world go by around them. They come together only once a decade in a months long mystical rite to worship the sun and to pair off as mates. Adventurous in their youth, many Efreeti leave their parents to explore the wider world around them and can often be found guiding lost travelers through the desert.

Some, like the Imperium Dwarves, don’t believe the Efreeti exist at all while others, such as the superstitious Khayan desert dwellers, worship them as the living, divine essence of the Sun God.
