Kalashtar

The Kalashtar are a rare and enigmatic people whose origins lie far beyond the material plane of Aigusyl. Born from the union of mortal souls and ancient, benevolent entities known as the Quori—dream spirits from the distant realm of The Plane of Dreams—the Kalashtar walk a delicate line between two worlds. They are gifted with profound psionic powers and an unyielding resolve to oppose the encroaching darkness that seeks to consume both dream and waking realms.

Marked by their serene countenance and often glowing, silver-hued eyes, the Kalashtar carry within them the Spirit of a Quori guardian, a living beacon against the nightmares and madness spawned by the fractures in the Weave after The Fracture War. Their presence is a calming force, their minds attuned to both the subtle currents of thought and the tumultuous storms of psychic energy that ripple through Aigusyl’s layered realities.

Though they appear humanoid, Kalashtar possess a natural grace and poise that betray their otherworldly heritage. Their culture is steeped in meditation, mental discipline, and the pursuit of harmony between body and spirit. They speak in soft tones and often commune through shared visions or telepathic bonds, valuing empathy and inner peace above all.

The Kalashtar’s mission is eternal vigilance—protecting the fragile borders between dream and reality, and battling the sinister forces of nightmares, mind flayers, and other psychic predators that thrive in Aigusyl’s shadowed corners. Their communities are small and secretive, scattered in hidden enclaves across the continent of Amoxis, often allied with sages, seers, and mystics who seek to maintain the balance of the Weave.

Many Kalashtar bear the burden of prophecy, receiving visions of possible futures—some hopeful, others grim. They are driven by a profound sense of destiny to guide mortals away from The Abyss of madness and chaos. Though outsiders may view them as aloof or mysterious, those who know the Kalashtar understand them as compassionate warriors of the mind, fiercely protective of both their kin and the waking world they strive to safeguard.

As a Kalashtar, you have these special traits.

Dual Mind

You have advantage on all Wisdom saving throws.

Mental Discipline

You have resistance to psychic damage.

Mind Link

You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

When you’re using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can use your action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you end this effect as an action. To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait’s range. You can give this ability to only one creature at a time; giving it to a creature takes it away from another creature who has it.

Severed from Dreams

Kalashtar sleep, but they don’t connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. As such, you are immune to spells and other magical effects that require you to dream, like dream, but not to spells and other magical effects that put you to sleep, like sleep.
