Djinns descend from two ancient genie lines from the high deserts of Kaldar, storm and shadow. While generally the two share the same overall culture and physical characteristics, tall and slender frames, angular features, too long limbs, and a pale blue-grey skin tone, their natural abilities and affinities vary wildly. Djinn originate from, and mostly have kept themselves to the region of, the high deserts of Kaldar. Though occasional settlements can be found on the Aeshian side of the border. Djinn society is secretive, formal, and conservative. Djinn favor bold styles and garish colors in their garments, relishing in the attention they bring and are seen as a status symbol. The more ornate the designs the more prestige. This custom is somewhat at odds with their secretive and formal nature.
