Djinn

Djinn is a Fae spirit most often encountered at the edges of settlements and where the human and uncanny meet. Field notes: presence smells like cold smoke and crushed desert herbs, as if a night wind passed over embers; sound is a layered whisper—laughing syllables beneath the noise of wind, the clink of metal, or a voice mimicking a companion; temperature falls suddenly and dryly, an empty chill that tightens the skin without dampness. They appear as shifting silhouettes of smoke, flickering flame, or unexpectedly familiar faces, always carrying the sense of an intelligence that studies rules and looks for loopholes.
