History
The Djinns were one of three races created by the Creator or Solusandra on Ciress. The Djinn were created from smokeless fire and had the ability to call upon the universal energies. However after an upstart efrit named Iblis demanded to the Creator why the djinn should share Ciress with humans who were made from clay. Offended Solusandra disowned the djinn and since that day the djinn have been cut from the universal energies. The djinn were on the verge of extinction without the universal enrgeries and a repentful Iblis turned to the humans for aid. Together with the humans the djinn discovered the unseen universal energies and developed the art of magic. The discovery of magic allowed humans to channel magic into the djinns, allowing them to survive.
