Psychic-Touched

Background Questions

When did you first hear a thought that wasn't spoken aloud?

Which order or enclave shaped your discipline?

What memory do you protect even from yourself?

Who fears your abilities - rightly or wrongly?

Lore

Psychic-Touched appear entirely human until their mind awakens. Their talents manifest as subtle gestures, drifting motes, or a distant echo when they focus. Their enclaves guard the Quiet Vaults - libraries where thoughts are transcribed into symbolic inks.

Psychic-Touched communities are built around privacy and consent. They operate in small enclaves, monasteries, and archive-houses where discipline is taught early and boundaries are treated as law.

They often serve courts and libraries as record-keepers and investigators, but the work is risky: if a city believes you can ‘read minds,' it will fear you even when you cannot.

Within their circles, carelessness is treated as the worst failure - speaking when you should not, prying where you are not invited, or letting emotions spill into someone else's thoughts.
