Name Etymology
Ifrit, efreet, efrite, ifreet, afreet, afrite and afrit (Arabic: ʻIfrīt: عفريت, pl ʻAfārīt: عفاريت) are supernatural creatures in some Middle Eastern stories.

Traditionally, Arab philologists trace the derivation of the word to عفر (ʻafara, "to rub with dust"). Some Western philologists, such as Johann Jakob Hess and Karl Vollers, attribute it to Middle Persian afritan which corresponds to Modern Persian آفريدن‬ (to create).

= Biography =

Efreet is the Spirit of the Great Flame. He sleeps northwest of small village that Kossel ministers to. This village is attacked by a Great Dragon summoned by the Velzerian wizard, Nagya and there is little the Baldean army can do to harm it.

So Ledin traveled north to a stone where the djinn is said to slumber and after forcing Nagya to retreat and spoke these ancient words: "He who burns red as the sun! Oh great spirit of flame! I ask that you lend us your strength!" Efreet is thus summoned.

Upon waking the flame spirit asked who awoke him and finding that Ledin is a descendant of Elthlead agreed to help against the dragon.
