Other Planes
The Planetouched (Djinnasi)
A djinnasi has in their bloodline the influence of one of the other planes, almost always an elemental one. On occasion this sources to a tryst between one of their ancestors and a being from another plane. But far more often it is the doing of a powerful djinni, a potentate of one of the 7 races of the djinn. These powerful beings exert control over their seven elemental planes, but that's not enough. They mount campaigns of influence and empire over other planes, including that of Eberron.
The djinn are known to grant wishes, but there's no djinni alive that doesn't exact a price for this service. Very often they'll transform the supplicant into a planetouched of their element. Such planetouched are created by djinni magic; the influence of the djinn remains with them ever after, and is passed down through their bloodline. Should any such djinnasi grow powerful in blade or spell, it's likely their progenitor— for the djinn do not know death by old age— may come calling….
