Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aeric" data-source="post: 1870651" data-attributes="member: 17012">If by "psionic race" you mean a race which is known for its use of psionics, then there is really only one--the T'alma, or First Ones as they are called by those few scholars who have heard of them.The T'alma were the children of the First God and predate even the gods, although the latter were more powerful than them.  The T'alma took the races that the gods had created and changed them using some as-yet-undefined psionic procedure to make all the variant races in the world.  They also enslaved the mortal races, which angered the gods greatly.  The gods, in turn, went among the slaves and formented rebellion against the T'alma, granting a portion of their divine power to those who would follow them (and thus the first clerics were created).  There was a great war between the T'alma and the gods; eventually the gods won, but they could not destroy the T'alma due to the laws set down by the First God.  So they imprisoned the T'alma and hid them in a pocket dimension.There are also the Vhaedru, or Dark Savants, who are the equivalent to Tolkien's Ringwraiths (only more numerous).  They are the twisted and corrupted souls of T'alma who were sacrificed to the Beneath (evil and entropy encarnate) in return for its aid against the gods in the war.The T'alma are only just now escaping from their dimensional prison, but the Vhaedru have always been around.  Not even the scholars who have heard of the T'alma have made the connection between the two, however, and psionics as an art different from magic is a foreign concept to them.</blockquote>
