[[Image:Allgenasi.jpg|thumb|300x300px|From left to right: [[air genasi]], [[fire genasi]], [[earth genasi]], [[water genasi]]]]The '''genasi''' are [[planetouched]] mortals with an [[elemental]] ancestry. The most common are the ones who are related to the four classical elements: [[air (subtype)|air]], [[earth (subtype)|earth]], [[fire (subtype)|fire]] and [[water (subtype)|water]]. Less commonly, [[para-elemental]] and [[quasi-elemental]] genasi also exist.

Genasi are descended from elemental-related creatures, such as [[efreet]]i, [[dao]], [[djinn]]i, [[jann]], and [[marid]]s, among others. Most of them have had no direct contact with their elemental forebears, but the signs of their heritage are apparent. Genasi take great pride in their distinctive features and abilities.

They resemble [[human]]s only with one or two unusual features which correspond to their element, such as wispy hair for air genasi or red skin for fire genasi. Genasi also have special abilities which correspond to their element.

The [[Mask of the Betrayer]] expansion adds the genasi as a playable race. The para- and quasi-elemental genasi are not included.

==Types of Genasi==
* [[Air genasi]] - the Wind Dukes.
* [[Earth genasi]] - the Stone Princes.
* [[Fire genasi]] - the Flame Lords.
* [[Water genasi]] - the Sea Kings.

==Notes==

*Because of certain known limitations of the [[Aurora]] engine, some concessions were made regarding the elemental abilities. Fire Genasi will have a "fire shield"-like effect vs. the canon control-fire. Water Genasi will have the ability to create a shielding/obscuring mist vs. the create water ability.
