History
The Illithid War
Voran was one of the senior magi of the Estorian city of Terastra, and head of Estorium's magical research committee. Especially skilled in earth magic, Voran's research made many of Estorium's grandest buildings possible. When the illithids destroyed Derenath at the start of the war, Voran immediately began devising ways to counter them. Ultimately, it was Voran and the wizards working with him that were responsible for the creation of the shardminds.
At the end of the war, the Estorians launched a major assault on the mind flayers, ultimately destroying their armies and scattering the survivors to the depths of the Underdark. During this final assault, Voran took a number of magical artifacts from the illithids for future study. One of the artifacts was a strange crystal infused with a tremendous amount of psionic energy, and it inspired Voran to try and find a means of giving psionic abilities to humans.
===After the war With Estorium in ruins, Voran took a number of people north, across the sea, to start fresh in a new home. While the people got to work on building a town, Voran constructed a small keep for himself and began researching the illithid artifacts he had found.
Unbeknownst to Voran, however, the remaining illithids could still sense the presence of the artifacts, and used the crystal as a focal point to open a portal. The illithids ravaged the town, and though Voran destroyed them, he was unable to save any of his people. Distraught over the deaths of his family and friends and faced with the reality that the illithids were still a threat, Voran threw himself wholly into his research.
