1145ES. Travel description of the Sheheel Mountains by Reten Jen Apshot, Metapsionic explorer of both the mind, body and the world.
Though many have heard about this most mysterious mountain chain located in the central parts of The Thalmariea Continent, few really know much about this most psionically tuned place on Aragnantho, among psionics this is their most holy site for pilgrimage as this is said to be the dwelling place for Lytazi, the God of all psionics. The second most important site for followers of Lytazi is the great temple dedicated to the god of psionics located in my own home city of Lanifoel.
Some travel there bearing gifts hoping the god of psionics would grant them a talent in the arts of the mind. Others like psionic wild talents go there to bear their awe and reverence for their gifts from the great god of all mind powers. Some even go there in search for the most mysterious and legendary metal psidium, which is said to enhance the psionic talent of anyone using it, or even bring up dormant psionic wild talents within. All pilgrims are greeted equally regardless if they are there to bring thanks to the god, search for new ways of the mind or the mysterious psidium metal, the Lytazi Cromach, Lytazi's specialist priests, are totally neutral.
I am myself a metapsionic researcher, explorer and have been to The Sheheel Mountains a many times, but even in the few hundred years of doing my best to honor the God Lytazi which all my talents of the mind comes from I have yet to actually meet Lytazi the great god, or Lytazi the Avatar. Being to my knowledge the only God to have chosen Aragnanto to be its place of Divine Dwelling.

The Sheheel Mountains (Pronounced Shje-heel)
This most mysterious mountain chain has a number of peaks placed and if seen from above the Sheheel Mountains form a circle that covers an area of about one billion square yards. This is the smallest mountain chain on the continent of Thalmariea, and also its peaks are tiny compared to the Dragon Mountains of Jahnamanriajah in South Thalmariea, or The dry Ahnabanrhaksha Mountains of the Great East Thalmariea. Some say the Mountain chain of Sheheel were pulled out of the ground by Lytazi himself. Once a year the most holy event of Sheheel Mountain chain happens, this is the day when the great sun turns blood red, and for some still unknown reason this phenomena is only observable from the Sheheel Mountains. When this happens the sky turn deep red. And the deep black Sheheel Mountains is bathed in this eerie light. The Sheheel Mountains is also the home to the famous Seven Seers. The Sheheel Mountains is the only mountain chain visible from the Great Ganathor Swamp, which lays to the North West of the Mountains of Sheheel.
Psidium Metal
The Psidium metal is said to be very special indeed, from what I could pull out the metal itself is supposed to be silver gray purplish in color, carry a wavy pattern within the metal itself, radiate immense psionic energy, warm to the touch, light to handle but at least as strong as the finest steel. What I know for sure is that the Metalchymists believe Psidium to be a real metal, there are too many of them that speak of how their masters teachers had at least once in their lifetime gotten to work with psidium and the unbelievable powers that the metal had on those, still it has remained illusive to me, but one day I am sure I will also use a psidium object.
The God of all Psionics, Lytazi
Lytazi, is actually the very first part of this Gods name, the full name it 3 pages long, and it is said if you can speak out the full name of Lytazi you will be heard and in powered with Lytazi's chosen psionic talent, chosen specifically for you. Lytazi dwells in the deepest part in the very center of The Sheheel Mountains, and when one look how the Sheheel Mountains raise up in the middle of the Thalmariea Continent, in an area with no other mountain chains, one would think it has to be directly link to Lytazi himself. Lytazi is said to live within a cave of pure Psidium metal, hidden even from his most devoted Lytazi Cromach priests. Lytazi is a greater god, some think Lytazi is one of the great dragon gods, that watched and felt for not only the dragons but also all the new creatures of intelligence and ambition that started to populate the lands of the dragons. Other scholars again think Lytazi is transcendent being not a being in the way we would understand but the purest psionic energy itself able to manifest into a concrete form. Lytazi himself neutral to any foreign race, creed, deed or even greed as he grant the gift to both man, elves, beast, dwarves, gnomes, halvings and even fungi, plants and some rare oozes.
The Lytazi Cromach Priests
These specialist priests live in a mostly solitary life, their heads covered with the Cromach helm, a helm made of thick fabric with no openings for visual inputs, the priests believe one have to isolate oneself from the visual inputs of the world around them and uses a full form of psychic sight to see, this gives them a 360 degree spherical vision field, this also makes the priests totally impossible to catch off guard. unless they are sleeping, which they rarely do choosing instead to do meditative rejuvenation rather than sleep. Other than the Cromach helm the Lytazi Cromach Priests wear a purple cloak and is usually totally unarmed preferring to use their minds as a weapon if they ever need to fight, the Lytazi Cromach. Priests are all psionic and also have spells granted directly from their god Lytazi. The priests rarely leave the Sheheel mountains, and other than the Lytazi Cromach priests in the city of Lanifoel they are a fairly rare sight.
