Genasi

The Axis of Creation is where the elemental dominions are held - fire, earth, air and water. Though these realms are often volatile and completely inhospitable to mortals, the realm of men however are not so inhospitable to the genies and elemental spirits. In the rare union of one such elemental being and a humanoid, this ancestry can lead to a Genasi through the generations - mortal beings infused with the essence of a certain element.

## Air Genasi

## Earth Genasi

## Fire Genasi

Fire Genasi have burning eyes, fiery hair and a volatile air about them, perhaps even steam radiating off their skin. They are keen, quick-witted but equally impatient, impulsive and explosive.

**Ability Score Increase:** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

**Darkvision:** You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. Your ties to the Elemental Plane of Fire make your darkvision unusual: everything you see in darkness is in a shade of red.

Water Genasi have a look of continual moisture about them, smelling always of fresh rain-water or something like the seas.
