====== Histoire ======
The elans represent a dark side of the process of [[inspire|Inspiration]] that allows a [[Quorien]] to posses a willing [[inspire|empty vessel]].

Elans contain the [[Quorien]] spirit, condemned to reside powerless within a [[Humain]] form by its kin for crimes against the [[Quorien]]. This process is not voluntary, and it often ends with the vessel eventually falling to madness over its long life.

====== Appearance & Personality ======
The elans resemble the [[inspire|Humain vessels]] from whom they are derived, and retain much of the variety in personalities and appearance of their [[Humain]] forebears. Elans often go mad, and some believe they hear the voices of the [[quorien|spirit]] trapped within them.

As with all residents of [[Riedra]], Elans are indoctrinated into the [[Chemin de l'Inspiration]] and believe their noble actions can redemn the evil spirits bound within them. Most elans in [[Riedra]] join the [[Harmonious Shield]], and many belong to the [[Edgewalkers]].

A few elan have been known to reject the [[Chemin de l'Inspiration]], and flee to other parts of [[Sarlona]] to make their own path.

====== Capacités ======
Elan can potentially live for many centuries.

Elans are naturally [[Psioniques|psionic]] [[Aberrations]], and have several supernatural abilities stemming from their nature. They do not sleep, instead //trancing// for 4 hours each night to replenish their psionic powers. They can temporarily protect themselves from harm, or reduce the damage of an attack.

An elan can sustain itself purely on its own psionic power, and would not need to eat for a day after it uses this power.

====== Society ======
Elans are often integrated into the surrounding [[Humain]] society.

Elans loyal to the [[Chemin de l'Inspiration]] remain in [[Riedra]], where they join the [[Harmonious Shield]] and the [[Edgewalkers]]. Those who learn the truth or reject their lot in life have been known to flee to [[Adar]], where they are treated with suspicion but may prove to be powerful opponents to the might of [[Riedra]]. 

====== Lands ======
Elans hold no land, but primarily reside in [[Riedra]]. Besides [[Riedra]], Elans have been known to flee to the continents of [[Khorvaire]], [[Xen'drik]], or [[Argonnessen]] as well as to [[Adar]].

====== Notable Personalities ======
  * **Murephan, Summit Road Guide:** Murephan is formerly one of the [[The Inspiré|Chosen]] of [[Riedra]], and now an amnesiac elan [[Ranger]]/[[Psion]] who abandoned the [[Chemin de l'Inspiration]] for [[Adar]]. Along with his [[Dromite]] sidekick Kelki, Murephan travels [[Syrkarn]] where he works against the hated [[Inspiré]] and to begrudgingly aid travelers.
