Psionicists of the Tyr Region (WatW)

Ardivan drew his ragged cloak over his shoulders and stood, facing the sunrise. The barren hills seemed empty and peaceful at this hour. and soon the nocturnal predators that haunted the badlands would be seeking their dens. It would be a good day to continue his meditations. The master turned back to his camp and began to gather his things.

Suddenly, a shadow fell across him. He whirled and drew his blade in one quick motion. Between him and the sun stood three figures, their features hidden by the cowls of their robes.

Ardivan scowled. Beware, strangers. I am Ardivan the Black. a master of the Way. If you intend me harm you will be killed.

The first of the figures stepped forward. Deliberately, its cowl was drawn back to reveal the face of a half-elf woman. And I am Sashaya. Ardivan," she spoke in his mind. We know of your reputation. In fact, you are the reason we are here.

Ardivan regarded the three with suspicion. "Who are you?"

The half-elf gestured, and the others undid their cowls. We are the Order. Ardivan the Black. and you will join us in upholding the Balance or be destroyed.

Hundreds of psionic organizations are scattered throughout the Tyr region. Each city hosts schools of all sizes, Villichi communities lie hidden in the deserts. and ancient brotherhoods unite masters from across the land. Overshadowing all of these is the Order. a group so secret that few know of its existence.

This chapter provides an overview of psionicists of the Tyr region. This is not an exhaustive listing. and DMs should freely invent schools and characters. DMs may want to with hold some of this information from players.
