- hose 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 and mortals.
The Elemental Planes are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane: crushing earth, searing flames, boundless skies, and endless seas make visiting these places dangerous for even a short time. The powerful genies, however, don’t face such troubles when venturing into the mortal world. They adapt well to the mingled elements of the Material Plane, and they sometimes visit-whether of their own volition or compelled by magic. Some genies can adopt mortal guise and travel incognito.
During these visits, a mortal might catch a genie’s eye. Friendship forms, romance blooms, and sometimes children result. These children are genasi: individuals with ties to two worlds, yet belonging to neither. Some genasi are born of mortal-genie unions, others have two genasi as parents, and a rare few have a genie further up their family tree, manifesting an elemental heritage that’s lain dormant for generations.
Occasionally, genasi result from exposure to a surge of elemental power, through phenomena such as an eruption from the Inner Planes or a planar convergence. Elemental energy saturates any creatures in the area and might alter their nature enough that their offspring with other mortals are born as genasi.
Heirs to Elemental Power
Genasi inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble humans but have unusual skin color (red, green, blue, or gray), and there is something odd about them. The elemental blood flowing through their veins manifests differently in each genasi, often as magical power.
Seen in silhouette, a genasi can usually pass for human. Those of earth or water descent tend to be heavier, while those of air or fire tend to be lighter. A given genasi might have some features reminiscent of the mortal parent (pointed ears from an elf, a stockier frame and thick hair from a dwarf, small hands and feet from a halfling, exceedingly large eyes from a gnome, and so on).

Genasi almost never have contact with their elemental parents. Genies seldom have interest in their mortal offspring, seeing them as accidents. Many feel nothing for their genasi children at all.
Some genasi live as outcasts, driven into exile for their unsettling appearance and strange magic, or assuming leadership of savage humanoids and weird cults in untamed lands. Others gain positions of great influence, especially where elemental beings are revered. A few genasi leave the Material Plane to find refuge in the households of their genie parents.
Wild and Confident
Genasi rarely lack confidence, seeing themselves as equal to almost any challenge in their path. This certainty might manifest as graceful self-assurance in one genasi and as arrogance in another. Such self- confidence can sometimes blind genasi to risk, and their great plans often get them and others into trouble.
Too much failure can chip away at even a genasi’s sense of self, so they constantly push themselves to improve, honing their talents and perfecting their craft.
Genasi Lands
As rare beings, genasi might go their entire lives without encountering another one of their kind. There are no great genasi cities or empires. Genasi seldom have communities of their own and typically adopt the cultures and societies into which they are born. The more strange their appearance, the harder time they have. Many genasi lose themselves in teeming cities, where their distinctiveness hardly raises an eyebrow in places accustomed to a variety of different people.
GENASI ON ATHAS
Although any world that includes one or more elemental planes can feature genasi, on Athas, the world of the Dark Sun campaign setting, elemental forces hold greater sway than they do on other worlds. As a people touched by elemental power, genasi are viewed as seers, prophets, and chosen ones. The birth of a genasi, whether a slave, a noble, or a member of a desert tribe, is an auspicious event. Most Athasians believe a given genasi is destined for greatness-or infamy.

Thank you so much! You helped me make my backstory for my Earth Genasi. I had not a single clue about what Genasi are and that gave me so much ideas to make a cool and interesting Genasi that I would love to roleplay.
Thanks for watching!

great video, never enough love for my favorite character "race". we had a huge 3 year campaign back in 3.5 we called "The Great Djinn War" where most of the big bads were different Djinns and all the PCs were Genasi. lots of angsty "angry at parents" backstories, but it worked in that one really well.
Thanks for watching. We currently have a water genasi in our campaign she is a lot of fun to be around.
I think after the MPMM book the size portion of the video is not totally correct because you can be small now. Genasi can resemble humanoid creatures so now there could be small halfling or gnome like genasi. Also the ability score increases + abilities slightly changed.
Great video brw top notch quality (sound,image..ect). Subbed for sure.
Thanks for the info and for subscribing! Much appreciated!
Ah, a new lore source to binge. Fantastic.
Where’s this art come from?
More coming soon! 95% of the art is generated using Midjourney. Such an amazing tool!
Great Video
Thanks!
Tieflings and Fire genasi. There's nothing like having a character who literally smells like rotten eggs (brimstone).
If you encountered a genasi that looks to be made of pearl and coral, would you label them as a water genasi or an earth genasi?
That's a tough call. But, because they are associated with water, I'd consider them a water genasi.
Coral and pearls are both made by sea life, so I would definitely say water, not earth
My current genasi is a earth one with a polished pearl skin, I didn't even think of her being a associated with water.
About to blow up
Much appreciated!
Aero Genasi......
