Horn of the Abyss Sprite for Efreet[edit]

In Horn of the Abyss, the adventure map sprite for the Efreet seems to have been fixed. Someone should add the info to the article (I'd do it, but sometime later).--FirePaladin2 (talk) 17:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

"Note, that Efreeti is singular while plural phrasing is Efreet in game."[edit]

i promised to use my reading skills more often and look what did it do to me.

efreeti/efreet spelling seems to be the peculiar/interesting/wild DnD tradition:

https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Efreeti

i traced the source back to 1993 DnD Monster Manual, which is more than enough for us.

all the in-game spelling seems to follow this rule (mostly).

efreeT:

  • Restoration_of_Erathia_Manual_Page_98 - plural ('Efreet and Efreet Sultans')
  • as a race (Rashka, Octavia, Xyron, Zydar) - singular
  • Restoration_of_Erathia_Manual_Page_114 - plural ('damage to efreet')
  • Rumor - plural (Efreet are unaffected by spells of Fire Magic)
  • HeroSpec.txt specialty name - plural (or it will be the only singular among Demons, Dragons, Elves and so on from other creature specialties)
  • CRTRAITS.TXT - plural: 1 - Efreeti/Efreet; 2 - 'Hates Efreet' (in comparison to 'Hates Genies')

efreeTI:

  • Armageddon's Blade Manual Page 10 Xeron's race - singular (Male Efreeti)
  • HEROBIOS.TXT Xyron's bio - singular ('Xyron seems to like fire even more than anyone would expect of an Efreeti')

since im still not comfortable enough in the new efreeti/efreet reality, im not sure what we have to do with all this, but seems like some fixes should be done --GroundhogYear (talk) 18:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

So we need to move this page to [[Efreeti and Efreeti Sultan]]. →ima 18:26, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
ure still trying to deny what's happening here too. i understand that. Efreeti and Efreet, but Efreet Sultan and Efreet Sultans. --GroundhogYear (talk) 21:58, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
I vote we treat efreet like foot/feet. 1 efroot, 2 efreet. →ima 01:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
I'm guessing the changing of creatures to lower case is likely more of a trigger for most people (than going from efreet to efreeti). →ima 03:30, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
