In the Lith-Crillion Era, explorers from Lagaer discovered a colossal crystal mote hovering over a lilac-colored plain. They named this remarkable phenomenon Sarêthul, a tribute to the near-divine beauty of Luthil's first daughter. A monastery named Varyon was constructed around the edges of this floating crystal, situated two hundred feet above. Beneficial to those of psionic potential or greater, it became a place of learning for monks, mentalists, and others delving into the mysteries of psychic energy.

Varyon's temporary structures gradually expanded into the Sarêthul crystal mote. Potent spells like disintegrate were utilized to forcefully blast away the crystal. In certain regions, they employed sound-based magic which did not shatter the crystal, but rather rendered it pliable and malleable.

The monastery encompasses regions that can be accessed solely through aerial transportation, magical teleportation, or perilous ascents.

The Nenercarnë, an order of psionicists, serve as the guardians of Varyon; each member is a Fist of Zuoken.

When the Khazarkar Empire came into this region of Cinazan, the area was inhabited solely by a small group of a dozen monks and psionicists. As part of a treaty to maintain their autonomy, they welcomed Khazarkar monks and psionicists into their community.

Focus Effect

Power Description
Psychic Boon Psionic use in Varyon requires 10% less power points. Psionicists are also treated as if they have the feat psionic affinity. The most dangerous aspect of Varyon is over-channeling. Some psionicists can over-channel when manifesting a power, but in Varyon any psionicists can do this, but it is doubly effective and causes twice as much damage.
