Djinn

The Djinn are a rare, ancient race of fire elementals present in Rathnir and Eldham desert regions.

Biology
The Djinn are composed of sentient flame, resultantly making biological sex difficult to determine due a lack of defining organs between sexes. Structurally, the Djinn has only a single internal structure within its combustion-body, that being what Djinn refer to as the "spark". The spark acts as the center of a Djinn's consciousness and the source of fuel that maintains its outer body of fire. Djinn believe their spark to be sourced from "Eternal Flames", yet no historical evidence has verified the existence of such flames. Contrary to this, a Djinn spark is unable to be suffocated like a normal flame, remaining present even under the depths of the ocean. Converesely, Djinn flames external from the spark can be removed via elemental forces such as the wind, rain and/or submerging in bodies of water or other methods that would extinguish regular fires. For an individual Djinn, the loss of this flame is deeply detrimental, being akin to an animal losing limbs, and part of the brain-structure, as the spark itself does not allow sentience without additional fire-tissue. Resultantly, Djinn seek to prevent the loss of flame through encompassing the body in enchanted fire-resistant material similar to the exoskeleton of insects. This led to the perception of Djinn as largely hooded, androgynous cloaked figures.

Since Djinn longevity is solely dependent on the preservation of the spark, Djinn are considered functionally immortal, living for hundreds to thousands of years at a time, with some djinn allegedly living for multiple millenia according to legend. However, it has been determined that over long periods of time, djinn flames become increasingly fragile
