Editing Efreet (section)

==Great Wheel==
Resembling [[fiend]]s with their crimson skin, fiery hair, glowing eyes, fangs, claws and short horns, efreet are obviously evil the moment you look at them, and in this case, appearances are not deceiving. Efreet are rapacious tyrants who crave to dominate and subjugate mortals, surrounding themselves with slaves, servitors and thralls. Yet, at the same time, they are weirdly charming and alluring, excelling at manipulating and beguiling the unwary. Denizens of the Plane of Fire, efreet are the [[genie]] race most interested in interacting with the rest of the [[multiverse]], and as such the capital city of the efreet - the [[City of Brass]] - is one of the more important planar metropoleis, though still inferior to [[Sigil]], of course. It is ruled over by the Sultan of the Efreet, a figure who is unnamed throughout D&D's history... unless you go to [[Al-Qadim]], where the genie splatbook "Secrets of the Lamp" state that his name is Marrake al-Sidan al-Hariq ben Lazan... a name that, ironically, would only appear one other time, and that's in 3e's Planar Handbook. They are the dominant race of the Plane of Fire, and thusly rule over large portions of the populations of fiery [[elemental]]s, especially [[salamander]]s and [[azer]]s.

The efreet war on... pretty much everyone who seeks to stop or thwart them, but have a particular loathing for the [[marid]]s (who are their enemy element) and the [[djinn]] (whose love of freedom and respect for mortals incenses the slave-taking efreet).

Ironically, efreet are the [[genie]]s most likely to be enslaved by [[conjurer]]s, [[sha'ir]] or, well, anybody who knows the proper magic. This is because efreet are unique amongst geniekind in that they can grant true wishes practically at-will! Efreet can grant three wishes per day to any nongenie... although they absolutely hate using this ability (in no small part because their superiors will find out and call them to account for granting wishes), and wherever possible they will try to turn wishes sour on their foes, unless the wish is being made by a true ally or somehow serves the efreet's purpose. Strangely, noble efreet have no particularly greater power than this.

Hulking genies of the Elemental Plane of Fire, the efreet are masters of flame, immune to fire and able to create it on a whim. Fine silk caftans and damask robes drape their magma-red or coal-black skin, and they bedeck themselves in brass and gold torcs, chains, and rings, all glittering with jewels. When an efreeti flies, its lower body transforms into a column of smoke and embers.

The efreet are deceptive, cunning, and cruel to the point of ruthlessness. They despise being forced into servitude and are relentless in pursuit of vengeance against creatures that have wronged them. Efreet don't see themselves in this light, naturally, and regard their race as fair and orderly, even as they admit to an enlightened sense of self-interest.

Efreet view all other creatures as enemies or potential serfs. They raid the Material Plane and the elemental planes for slaves, which they capture and bring back to their homes on the Elemental Plane of Fire. The efreet rule as oppressive tyrants, promoting only the cruelest among their slaves. Those overseers are given whips to help keep the rank-and-file slaves in line.

Most efreet reside on the Elemental Plane of Fire, either in great domed fortresses of black glass and basalt surrounded by churning lakes of fire, or in the fabled City of Brass. Additionally, efreet military outposts thronging with their minions and slaves can be found scattered throughout the planes. On the Material Plane, efreet dwell in fiery regions such as volcanoes and the burning expanses of the world's deserts. Their love of the desert brings them into conflict with the [[djinn]] that ride the desert whirlwinds, and with the earthbound [[dao]]. Efreet utterly despise [[marid]]s, with whom they have maintained a passionate conflict throughout the history of both races.
