Editing Efreet (section)

==Publication History==
Alongside their hated rivals, the [[Djinn]], efreet are the oldest of the <strike>two</strike><strike>four</strike>five genie races in D&D metalore, having debuted in the original "white box" for [[Dungeons & Dragons]] back in 1974. They were converted to [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1e in the original [[Monster Manual]], and to [[Basic Dungeons & Dragons|BECMI]] in [[Tom Moldvay]]'s Expert Set.

They first made their appearance in AD&D 2e under the "genie" heading in the Monstrous Compendium Volume One, which was then reprinted and in the Monstrous Manual. The noble efreet and the Sultan of the Efreet appeared for the [[Al-Qadim]] setting in the Monstrous Compendium Al-Qadim Appendix. The efreet also appeared in this setting under the header "Genie of Zakhara" in the Land of Fate boxed set.

Like all genies, it appeared in the [[Monster Manual]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]].

In [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], it was the only genie race to appear in the original [[Monster Manual]]. The race's lore would be fleshed out in both the 4e [[Manual of the Planes]] and in the [[Elemental Chaos]] [[splatbook]] "Secrets of the Plane Below", such is their prominence in the [[World Axis]].

It reappeared alongside its fellow [[genie]]s in the [[Monster Manual]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]].
