Psion's are a hyper intelligent race of humanoids that are born within other races, and are approximately 1 in a billion, they are prodigy's in all fields that they study and their memory capacity is unmatched. They have a natural field of energy that is generated in a 2 inch space around their person, with time and practice it can become stronger and allows them to perform feats of supernatural psychic power. The Psion's can be identified typically as Advisor's to Kings and lords, and many devote their whole lives to the gathering of knowledge.

History

The Psion's originated from the result of a wish spell, A powerful Archmage asked the spell to create a rare prodigy with mysterious powers, in order for him to train them as an apprentice, the spell however chose to create the potential for a prodigy to be born rather than actually creating one. Nearly a century passed and as the Archmage lay dying, he heard a babies cry and knew that his Wish had finally been granted. Now every 1 in 1 billion children is born a Psion, and they oftentimes change the course of history that they are involved in.

Society

Psion's are born with an inherent desire to learn any and all secrets as well as knowledge, and as such many Psion's train to become powerful wizards. They do not have a defined society as not only are they extremely rare, but they also are technically a subrace. They are usually sages of wisdom and knowledge and often advise nobles in their endeavors as Wiseman and powerful prophets.
