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.

-The Kalashtari, similarly to the Grung, initially broke into Drakomere as refugees, however, as all who break through the barriers, they were picked up by the Agents of the Citadel, and they needed to fight through it, growing more accustomed to Drakomere over time, and eventually fighting through succeeding. They went to live in the Archipelago and Wild-Plains as they felt unwelcome in Drakion. The Kalasthari had to navigate being in a world without their connection to their Quori spirits, so they took advantage of their large expansive minds. Kalashtari initially broke through en masse during the 14th Age.

-'''Severed From The Second Ward.''' In other worlds the Kalashtari would connect to the Plane of Dreams, but Drakomere is separated from this Plane. In Drakomere, during sleep, its denizens connect to the Ward of Bahumat where he vaguely guides dreams for them. The Kalashtari have learned to rest without dreaming, as such they do not connect to the Ward of Bahumat, instead they create worlds in their minds as they enter a trance. You don’t need to sleep, and magic can’t put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you retain consciousness.
