To make a long story short, a few hundred years ago the kalashtar learned of a psionic ritual capable of fusing a quori spirit into the flesh of a human. This is done with humans who willingly agree to go through the process. Unlike the Inspired, who is also a human/quori spirit hybrid entity, the human is dominant. The quori spirit is used as a source of psionic power by the human but is otherwise helpless and innert. The quori suffers for the rest of the elan's life (remember, they are immortal!), unable to escape, use its powers, or even affect its human host in any way. The bonding even makes telepathic communication with the spirit impossible, even for the host.The human gains power and immortality, but in return, they must swear to stand with the kalashtar against the Inspired. Though the spirit is helpless, it is still aware of everything the host senses. That's its punishment. The trapped quori spirit must sit back and watch as the elan uses its own power against his fellows.</blockquote>
