Djaat

Creatures of elemental power, the djaat are believed to have been created from pure energy in the wake of the Protogons. Djaat are born from the elemental source from which they spring—the magma of a volcano, the mist of a valley, the mud of a pit—and each djaat returns there when they die. When they joined the world of mortals, the djaat shaped their storms and flames into buildings, their vapours into a semblance of clothing, and their sparks into tools. With the energy at their disposal, they build twisting structures of shaped elements. Here they are forced to dwell, longing to return to their formless, primordial state but forever bound to the physical realm.
