Water Genasi
#Worldbuilding The Genasi themselves are spirits from their respective elemental plane that while on the material plane take a physical form that acts as a vessel that anchors them to the plane. Like a snail or hermit crab they find or make a new one as the spirit themselves mature and increase in power.
Eventually they can get to the point where their vessel is ultimately affected by the spirit e.g. the body fully turning into water not just the spirit leaving for a moment.
A main druidic tribe of each type live on their respective leyline to guard it, their leader is given a title e.g. FlameSpeaker, EarthBreather, AirWeaver, WaterWhisperer. Genasi will often undertake a pilgrimage to the other 3 tribes to create a balanced learning.
- Blackstone Volcano isn't the fire leyline but a crossroads of leylines where the elements gather opposite the tree of life.
The Water Genasi find a passion and become wholly obsessed with it, be it a quest, an ideology, a hobby or a skill. Their anchor body is made and moulded to fit this obsession and aid it as best they can. They’re unsurprisingly quite greedy and selfish people and their passion is both a reflection of that and most likely the reason they’re on the Material plane in the first place.
