+====== Genasi ======
+{{:weird-wizard:genasi.png?nolink&500 |}}
+ Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of birth, carry the power of the planes in their blood. The genasi are one such people, the offspring of genies or other powerful elementals and mortals.
