Djinn Empire

The Djinn Empire was a great empire of Genie that spanned the multiverse. This great empire was lead by the Djinn, and the armies were full of Efreeti, making these two the most powerful of the Genie races. This race invaded the mortal realm and conquered the continent of Tamariel. For centuries the genies subjugated the mortal races and used them to build great monuments and weapons they used in their expansion across the multiverse. Eventually they were driven back and defeated by a combination of the Goblin Empire, and the joined forces of the mortal races. This war shattered the Djinn Empire and left it a shadow of it's former self. This also inflamed the old hatreds between the genie races and the Empire fell into ruin.

1001 Efreeti Knights
During the final battle with the Goblin Empire, the greatest legion of the Efreeti, consisting of 1001 knights, battled against the Mage-Kings of the Goblin Empire. In the end, 1000 of these Knights were sealed away by a powerful ritual, and only a sacrifice of 1000 souls will free them. There was only a single knight that escaped the ritual by leaping through a portal to the elemental plane of fire.
