Janni are the semi-magical descendants of djinni/human pairings. At a glance they appear to be normal humans with dark hair and skin, sporting powerful and attractive builds. They favor living in desert environs, where they have both the safety and privacy they crave. Half of all janni tribes are nomadic and move from oasis to oasis, herding their goats, horses, and camels. A janni is polite and charming, and enjoys the company of foreign travelers. They are also highly honorable, and do not take kindly to insult or injury. A janni speaks Common fluently.

A janni is an expert horseman and prefers to fight from horseback using large two-handed scimitars and longbows in combat. A janni will pursue its enemies over great distances and show little mercy to dishonorable combatants. Janni will sometimes ally with groups of desert-dwelling humans, and occasionally hire out as a mercenary.
