Shardmind

Description

Shardmind are created from souls from The Astral Plane finding their way to Ulthomel and inhabiting crystals. These crystals grow in size due to the Psionic power these souls contain until they start to resemble a humanoid shape. While the souls that create Shardminds are immortal, once they inhabit a vessel on Ulthomel, they become mortals- subject to entropy just like any other mortal on Ulthomel. Shardmind culture is much different from other cultures, as they don't reproduce and even the "youngest" Shardmind are fully mature individuals who have been sentient for hundreds or even thousands of years already.
