Description N'yayadhisa appear to be insubstantial, human-like figures with metallic sheen. They can also take other forms: giant beetle with a human head or six-legged bear with human face.
Procreation With each other to create more n'yayadhisa.
Esoterica As beings of fate and shebv heya, djinn have an affinity for the arts of fate and shebv heya. Other powers are not uncommon. Flux and fortune are impossible for them to wield.
Special Powers N'yayadhisa have the power to transform mortals physically with their touch, impose a geas upon them once a year, and seal them in iron bands at will. They can fly and phase through stone. They can breathe underwater. They can create and enforce contracts with mortals in exchange for going on a quest.
Weaknesses N'yayadhisa are susceptible to both unholy and holy energies.
Nations N'yayadhisa belong to three nations: those who refuse to leave the lake, those who live on the shores, and those who live on the islands in the lake. These three nations differ in that they send mortals on different quests.
Culture N'yayadhisa live in small communities around the massive underground lake where they were dwelling when they were transformed. They are led by a triumverate of judges from each nation. Young n'yayadhisa are raised for 100 years before being encouraged to go on a quest themselves, so they know what the mortals they send on quests wil experience. When they return, they join one of six schools (two per nations), where they take up a trade. After schooling, they join one of the trade groups and become a voting member of n'yayadhisa society.
