Djin
The salamander king: a figure of living flame, shown variously as a serpent of fire, a burning warrior, or a lion-maned shape. The portraits are conventional and conflict with one another, and no early text fixes his form.
One of the four elemental kings of the Paracelsian four-element tradition as later handbooks developed it, and the ruler of the salamanders in elements.json. Not to be confused with Edlprnaa, the Enochian king of the southern Watchtower in angels_demons.json — a different system with different names, texts and ritual, sharing only the south-and-fire seat. The name is spelt Djin or Djinn, and it is the Arabic jinni borrowed as a proper name: 'jinn' and 'genie' are the same word, not rival kings. No early source fixes the set of four names, and the appearance is a stock icon rather than a description.
