Message: <blockquote data-quote="mhacdebhandia" data-source="post: 4699885" data-attributes="member: 18832">That's a misleading description, though. Each kalashtar's soul is linked to a quori spirit, but the individual kalashtar aren't reincarnated in any recognisable sense. It's just that the quori spirit survives - children of the same sex as the kalashtar parent are connected to the same quori spirit, so it's more like a bloodline sharing a communal soul in addition to their own than the same soul being reincarnated over and over.Now, there is something of a similarity in that kalashtar share memories and general opinions with others of the same lineage, which matches a little with the "memory of a thousand lifetimes" thing, but this is how Races of Eberron describes it:The quori founders no longer exist as true individuals; instead they live within the communal subconscious of all of their physical descendants. Members of the lineage cannot actively use this mental bond, but they share the same dreamlike memories and typically have the same opinions and moral values. Two Vakri kalashtar will find that they can anticipate one another's actions, that they finish each other's sentences, and that they naturally gravitate towards the same sides of an argument. Kalashtar with the same lineage are not mental clones, however. Each individual's life experiences and human soul shape his or her character and personality, and alignment and behaviour vary from character to character.I think this is distinct enough from the deva's reincarnations to qualify the two races as quite dissimilar.</blockquote>
