Efreet

Efreet (イフリート, Ifuriito), is the Spirit of Guidance governing the Element of Fire, and one of the Four Elements. He resides in Salamandra.

Efreet appears to be a half-man, half-dragon djinn with sacred flames blazing from his shoulders and upper backside and his tail as a large three-pronged claw.

Names
The name Efreet has been thought to have originated from the southerners of Salamandra, likening the Spirit to the appearance of supernatural creatures of fire.

In the Voidic Masiahn belief, he is called as Ari'el, which means "Unrelenting Courage of the Creator", referring to his attribute with courage and bravery.

In the Salamandran belief of Soemu, he is the God of War, Femonhe. The name is believed to have originated from a word that meant "eight banners".

In Deoscaeli mythology, he is Sethulca, the Altaria of the Forge. The name Sethulca is unclear, but is believed to be a mix of an Old Sylphiani sethlan meaning "hammer" and Vetustan volcanus meaning "volcano".

In Gnomish Sanatana belief, he is referred to as Samrata, the dragon.

In the old Undinese belief of Yuntao, he is called Hong, the Garnet Serpent.

Character and Worship
Efreet is universally regarded as a strong and intimidating Spirit, known for his courage and strength and his attribute to challenges and battles.

In Masiahn belief, Efreet is a knight and a model soldier, praised and revered for his strength, power, and military intelligence. He is also believed to be the one who guides men to victory in wars and battles. He is prayed for when asking for bravery in times of fear, and resolve in times of despair.

In Soemu belief, although he is considered to be the God of War, it is more accurate to say that he is the God of Warriors. He inspires the warrior's spirit and instills the code of honor unto those who are fighting for their beliefs and ideals. Because of this honorable and passionate character, he was chosen as the National Spirit of Roukoku.

Roukoku celebrates Efreet during the month of Narfour, the beginning of the summer, which is named as the Season of Efreet. They hold a month-long celebration, most of the festivities and activities occurring at the last week of the month.

In the Raudurion Tribes of Salamandra, Efreet is their prime god who governs fire, destruction, motivation, life, and most importantly, a symbol of death. His most important role for the Raudurion was the cycle of life and death, as it is believed that Raudurion came from fire itself.

Efreet is revered as the God of the Forge in Deoscaeli mythology, attributed to smithing, craftsmanship, devotion to work, and hard work. Depictions of him in this belief have less draconic features and more humanoid in appearance. He is revered by smiths and craftsmen, and is prayed for when in the creating process.
