Rozhami

The Rozhami are an alien species to much of Olivia and Eleanor. There is little information on them and they are rare; there's is said to only be one such person, currently hidden in the Norlands.   It is said they are refugees of another land.

race features:
Dual Mind. You have advantage on all Wisdom saving throws. Mental Discipline. You have resistance to psychic damage.   Mind Link. You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.   When you're using this trait to speak telepathically to a creature, you can use your action to give that creature the ability to speak telepathically with you for 1 hour or until you end this effect as an action. To use this ability, the creature must be able to see you and must be within this trait's range. You can give this ability to only one creature at a time; giving it to a creature takes it away from another creature who has it.   Severed from Dreams. Rozhami sleep, but they don't connect to the plane of dreams as other creatures do. Instead, their minds draw from the memories of their otherworldly spirit while they sleep. As such, you are immune to spells and other magical effects that require you to dream, like dream, but not to spells and other magical effects that put you to sleep, like sleep.
The only known rozhami inhabit the Norlands, and hence are reclusive and prefer to stay isolated. Rozhami are commonly reserved, tranquil, and tend to spend significant time thinking something through before acting. They're kind and caring towards others though, in an intellectual manner rather than emotional. It is not known exactly why rozhami take a keen interest in controlling their emotions, but it is commonly believed to be due to the turmoil they suffer from their conjoined souls. They express their friendship with a wry smile and through offhand comments rather than being cordial or making lewd jokes. The fragments of the soul subsumed within the Rozhami will long for its home, but it’s almost impossible to tell what it was. Rozhami fleeing and hiding from the Dark Cloud are cautious of others, though they remain invariably polite, kind, and even compassionate. Rozhami are unable to merge their human half's sensitivity with the strange and wild visions and memories of their otherworld souls. Beneath their serene makeup, rozhami are at conflict within themselves, struggling to fend off insanity. At times they begin to lose that struggle, displaying confusing and sometimes dangerous behaviour. Dealing with the Dark Cloud is the most important goal for rozhami, as most see them as the ultimate evil in existence.   Rozhami look much like humans, having the same ranges of eye, hair, and skin colors. Rozhami are commonly tall and slim, though rozhami of all sizes exist. The only real difference in rozhami is their monastic behaviour. Rozhami children show the largest difference between them and their human counterparts but still, only in behaviour. Whilst human children will run, play, laugh, and show an emotional immaturity, rozhami children will take part in meditative practices, martial training, and telepathic conversations like their adult seniors. Growing up for the rozhami is simply a physical process rather than an emotional or mental one.   The rozhami appeared on Olivia no longer than fifty years ago, and then there were only two such people that had survived a shipwreck in the Norlands. Since then, their existence has burgeoned questions but very little is known about them to the wider world.   All rozhami follow a religion they refer to as the Path to Light. They typically do not worship any specific deities. However, they believe in a universal force of good that they call Alfajiri, or the Dawn.
