The shaitan (pronounced shy-TAWN) are a race of genies from the Elemental Plane of Earth. Noble shaitans are called pashas

Appearance

Shaitans are humanoid in shape, and appear to be carved from rock, with glossy skin and glittering eyes. When they move it sounds like stone grating on stone. A typical specimen is 11 feet in height and 5,000 pounds in weight. They are stronger than djinn, but not as strong as the other genies. Their powers center around control of stone: they can burrow through stone, or simply glide through it as if it wasn’t there. They can bull rush foes into stone, so that they are held fast, and cam shape stone to their design. They can also transform one metal into another, although this only lasts for a day.

Habitat & ecology

Shaitans hail from the Elemental Plane of Earth. They love working with metal and stone, and also love to enter into bargains, particularly those they can twist to their own benefit.

Shaitans are not cruel, but neither are they kind. They tend to be boastful and egotistical, and sulk if their pride is hurt. They dress in as much finery as they can afford, and sometimes use illusions to increase the impression of wealth. They prefer to live in tunnels and palaces carved out of Elemental Earth, but can sometimes be found living underground on the Material Plane.

Their society is divided into great craft guilds, each ruled by a pasha. Their enemies are the efreet of the Elemental Plane of Fire.
