Jinn,[1] also romanized as genies or anglicized as djinn, are powerful spirits with a wide variety of abilities.
The jinn of Marillia and the genies of D&D and Pathfinder differ in several ways, the most important being that in Marillia, jinn are not elementals, but rather fey. Many jinn do dwell in the Elemental Planes and have been infused by elemental energies, but they are not of the Elemental Planes.

Jinn are capable of every alignment.
Sang (earth jinn) lean towards Neutral Evil. Tish (fire jinn) lean Lawful Evil. Asifas (air jinn) lean Chaotic Good. Chantis (water jinn) lean Chaotic Neutral. Zalas (black jinn) are always Chaotic Evil.
