Stormsoul was a core Genasi type alongside the core 4 Genie descendants, showing up in the Forgotten Realms Player's Guide. Here they were a displaced people brought with Returned Abeir (alongside Dragonborn), but Dragon #367 article "Ecology of the Genasi" explored their potential Nerath / World Axis origins, some of which align with the "cousin species or descendants of the Noble Genies" but others align them with the Elemental Chaos in general.Then we also had Causticsoul, Cindersoul, Plaguesoul, and Voidsoul, from Dragon #380 article "Abyssal Genasi", given that in the World Axis cosmology, the Abyss was like a black hole at the center of the roiling maelstrom that is the Elemental Chaos.And later, we got Embersoul, Magmasoul, Sandsoul, and Sunsoul from Dragon #396 article "Winning Races: Genasis of Athas", as they tried to fit the species into that setting (they fit quite well). There's also a couple throwaway paragraph in the Eberron books for 4e about how Genasi are extremely rare in Eberron, but as Keith Baker always says on his blog, there's a place for EVERYTHING PC option Eberron, and these paragraphs present a couple different origins for the extremely rare Genasi.</blockquote>
