Where psychic duels take place, where a university lecture grasps the interest of hungry minds, where scholars debate the fundamentals of the universe, the very essence of the world become rich with conscious energy. That consciousness coalesces into small embryo, floating in the void between fiction and reality, gestating into a Tebani. The embryo feeds on the rich psychic energy of its surroundings, nourishing itself until it can physically break forth into the world.
When a tebani is born, it is fully formed as an adolescent, full of the knowledge gained from its exposure to the psychic energies of the world. Tebani often take up jobs as librarians, scholars and mages in the locations that they emerged from reality. Being formed from the thoughts and feelings of so many different creatures, these noble beings are often quite empathetic and have an excellent understand of culture, etiquette and social norms.
Appearance: Tebani appear as blue or purple skinned humanoids with whipcord muscles and sharp features.
Location: Tebani are born all over Almira and settle where they will. The city of Salrani, a hub of psychic magic, houses a large community of Tebani.
Names: Adityah, Eka, Hidayat, Intan, Ketut, Kusuma, Kuwat, Lutfi, Raman, Ratu, Sinta, Utari, Wayu, Wibawa, Yulan
Alignment and Religion: Tebani can vary in alignment but often retain the most common alignment of the creatures whose psychic energy birthed them. A tebani born within a college of evil mages will most surely be evil, while a tebani born in the religious seminary of a good deity will most certainly be good.
Relations: The strong-willed tebani have amicable relations with all of the major races. Tebani get along exceptionally well with the Jichi, Idala and Devorim, other races who are birthed from stray magics. However the tebani often find themselves hostile towards Ezymir, who’s haughty arrogance clashes with the tebani’s calmer dispositions.
Adventurers: Tebani find themselves drawn to the life of a wandering adventurer. Rootless from birth, tebani are drawn to powerful locations and strong minds, often becoming involved in deep intrigues and lengthy quests by pure happenstance. Tebani are especially well suited to the path of the psychic and occultist, though they excel in all fields of psychic magic.
