Lesse

A wealthy nobleman in Caldraria gifted me a silent retreat as a thank-you for a little scratching of his back that I had just finished up. What he failed to mention was that almost all of the workers at the retreat were of Lesse descent. I can't say what was more unsettling, the soft voice in my head asking me if I wanted something to drink or the monotone voice asking me if I'd like to book a visit to the spa.

  The Lesse are a sapient species native to Caldraria. Humanoids with low melanin stemming from their Lothie ancestry. Lesse have telepathic abilities that they often use to communicate, and those living in societies with many other telepaths can have a hard time controlling their voice. This difficulty can lead to having a monotone voice, speaking in whispers, or loud exclamations.
