I think instead of associating them with a creator, I'm going to have them be a species of primordial that arose from before the Dawn War. So the genies are their descendants.

Draft so far:
- The Vaati, also called the Wind Dukes, were beings of law and elemental air, a race of powerful primordials from the times before the Dawn War.
- The Vaati eventually came to lead/rule the largest empire back in the "elemental" days, an empire that included the aarakockra and other elemental beings.
- Empire lost when Vaati gave everything to save the cosmos from Chaos (Queen of Chaos/Mishka/Rod of Seven Parts).
- Changed by their battle with chaos, many vaati were infused with other forms of elemental power, and their descendants eventually became the other species of djinn.
- Remaining Wind Duke communities are fading and isolated.
- Noble Genies are individual genies with a stronger link to their Vaati bloodlines.
