Anais
That's a great first wish! Ok! Here we go... er... wait, something's wrong...
Anais began her existence in a distant realm far from Tairos, a place of air and fire, turbulence, and gilded tyranny. To some it is known as the City of Brass, Nerakha, Agartha, and Xibalba. Regardless of the name used they all refer to a vast metallic island floating in an endless sea of fire and scalding winds. The metal slab is home to a sprawling maze-like city of capricious, avaricious, and indulgent beings known as the Djinn. She, like all her kind, were born into a strict caste system where the youngest begin life as slaves who must earn their freedom through service. In Anais' case she is service to the Palace of Pyres, the furnace-like bastion at the center of the city and home to the dreaded Padishah and their Miraz (noble court of the City of Brass)
She was chosen among the many lower Djinn of her generation to serve as a Wish Sculptor, a spirit bound to an object and sent to the mortal realm for the purpose of enacting the desires of those that stumble upon her. The power of Wish Sculpting is a borrowed ability, one loaned by the Palace of Pyres, and one that comes with a price for those that would petition it. The energy pulled from the Leylines to fuel the wish creates a temporary wound from which the Palace of Pyres drinks deeply of. Anais, like the rest of her Wish Sculptors, is unaware of any of this. She hopes only to serve her master and earn her freedom. Once a Sculptor completes their ninth wish they are said to be free of the chains of Pyre and become a full citizen of the City of the Brass.
Anais is currently serving her first master, Patchina Copernicus, and quickly learned of the devastating effects of trying to grant wishes in Tairos without proper fuel. Patches wished for one of the very advanced cannons onboard a ship belonging to her enemy, Damien Harken. The wish succeeded but Anais violently erupted into burnt cloud of blue smoke and blood, her essence retreating to her lamp to slowly recover. Since that time the gnomish engineer has paused all wish making and instead taught her Djinn friend how to be a boatswain, a task Anais excels at due to her extra limbs, and one she has fully embraced.
