Efreets
Efreet are the fiery denizens of the Plane of Fire. Often depicted as tall, imposing figures with skin ranging from crimson to obsidian black, they embody the raw power and fury of their home plane. While commonly viewed as evil due to their fierce tempers and love of conquest, efreet society is more complex than meets the eye.
While their fiery nature can manifest as cruelty or aggression, it's not inherent evil. Efreet tempers are legendary. They can erupt into rage at perceived slights or injustices. However, this anger often cools just as quickly, replaced by a deep sense of loyalty and camaraderie towards those who have earned their trust. Efreet value strength, loyalty, and cunning. They respect those who can earn their respect through displays of power or wit.
