Geniekin

Source Monster Core 2 pg. 250
Geniekin are mortals whose ancestry has become entangled with the blood of genies or other elemental creatures, causing them to exhibit elemental powers drawn from the Elemental Planes. Though the geniekin found here are all of human descent, geniekin and other planar scions can descend from other ancestries.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Extraplanar Humanoids

An important distinction exists between planar scions and extraplanar humanoids, such as fetchlings. Fetchlings and other extraplanar humanoids represent true ancestral groups with their own physical and cultural identities and traditions. Planar scions are members of diverse ancestries who share a similar inheritance from extraplanar beings and, with exception of undines, typically integrate into other humanoid societies instead of building their own.

Sidebar - Locations Geniekin On Golarion

While most geniekin planar scions live on their genie parent's ancestral plane, rare fonts of elemental power or genie activity sometimes give rise to geniekin on Golarion. By far, geniekin are most commonly found in Katapesh, as genies are more prevalent there than other regions due to the nation's history of binding genies.

Planar scions descended from residents of the Outer Sphere are known as nephilim and include orderly aphorites and chaos-loving ganzis, both of which are presented on the following pages. In addition, kjosas have the blood of einherjar and valkyries in their veins, and fiendish asuras might parent a faultspawn nephilim.

Planar Scion

Related Groups Geniekin, Nephilim
Many immortals dwell upon the other planes of the Great Beyond. Some are benevolent and kindly, like angels. Others are cruel and destructive, like demons. And some flt roles outside of morality, like psychopomps. It’s far from unheard of that mortals and immortals alike become entangled romantically, and the children of such engagements carry a supernatural element in their bloodlines for generations to follow. After the first generation, this otherworldly influence usually lies dormant, but now and then, the influence can manifest strongly in descendants many years later. These inheritors of extraplanar legacies are known collectively as planar scions.
