(Several of these organizations are taken (and "twisted") from the <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frcc/20070703" target="_blank">Psionics Across the Land</a> article on WotC's website.)College of the Twin MoonsHeadquartered in the city of Xcellian, in the Far South, this society is dedicated to the advancement of psionic abilities. The College of the Twin Moons operates openly from its fortresslike headquarters. Most of the city's citizens believe that it's just another esoteric order of arcane spellcasters, and its members encourage that misconception. The college administers entrance exams designed to identify psionic aptitude to anyone who requests entrance, and it offers inexpensive basic training in the Invisible Art. More advanced students can also rent living quarters and access to the college's laboratories and libraries.A graduate of the basic course is equivalent to a 1st or 2nd-level wilders and is called a fellow. Almost all fellows of the college work in government or the skilled trades. Graduates often find work as oracles, sages, or advisors to government officials or trading companies. Almost all are wilders, although at least two of the college's instructors are psychic warriors. The dean of the college is Bevali Magesmith [LN male Torin dwarf, psion7 (telepath)/ sorcerer6].The seven regents of the college (all mid-level wilders) are making increasing efforts to keep tabs on the colleges' fellows. They're concerned about the public perception of psionics, and they don't want wayward psionicists making life more difficult for students of the Invisible Art.The MindfulOne of the greatest group of collectors of psionic lore in the Lands of Harqual are the members of the Mindful, an elven association of psionic characters in the Kingdom of the Silver Leaves.Currently, the organization is experiencing a schism.Its older, more conservative members, led by the venerable Tharivol Moonwhisper, seek seclusion, desiring to distance themselves from the outside world, especially the non-elven world. The younger contingent, led by Drusilia Diamonddew, wishes to correspond with non-elf psionicists, possibly even admitting such individuals into their ranks.This conflict recently erupted when one of the members, a young forest elf by the name of Reliath Timberleaf, stole a number of powerful objects from the collection of the organization. This sparked a massive series of debates about the future of the organization that have yet to be resolved.The PurgeThe Lake Thers Region, in the Far South, is known for its numerous arcanists but even more for the fact that many common folk have basic magical potential. Surprisingly, the region also seems to have a greater than average number of psionic characters. The most well known psionicists in the region are members of the Purge, a small mercenary company based in the City-state of Livaley.Led by Dorian Fairdam (LN male human, fire elementalist6/wilder6), a powerful noble and scholar of fire magic and psionics originally from the Kingdom of Izmer, the Purge number only 25, including 10 warriors, 8 wizards and sorcerers, and 7 psionicists.Dorian is well known for his endeavors leading the Purge but also for his research. He penned the book Dorian's Tome of Fire, a treatise on both fire magic and psionic powers and items. He lost the book while traveling through the Plains of Black Sand and hasn't been able to find it. Dorian offers a reward of 10,000 gp to anyone who brings back the tome and 1,000 gp for credible information leading to its return.Shadowmind GuildSee pages 181 & 182 in D&D Complete Adventurer.This psionic guild is based in the City-state of Nikel. They are the dominant guild of rogues in that city.StreugedankenThe Strandlands is a land full of mercenaries. As long as these mercenaries are effective, most the merchants and nobles of the Thunder Lands don't care about the source of supernatural powers of their employees. As such, a small number of psionic characters – mostly mercenaries – have congregated in the Strandlands.The largest organization of this type, and the only one to exclusively recruit psionic characters, is the Streugedanken, which means the “strewing thought”. Led by a woman named Jagira Sacchetti (CG female human wilder10), the group is well known for its discretion and professionalism.</blockquote>
