The books of the Templars.
Background
In the 2nd age the gods lived in the heavens but walked the earth, returning to visit their creation then returning to their homes until Lorna discovered that the coming and going of the gods across the planer barrier had created tears in the barrier. Outsiders began to pass through these tears, some were innocent visitors, other came only to raid and destroy. To protect their creation the gods agreed to stay in the heavens and to only continue their works by way of proxies.
One of these proxies was the clerics, priests with divine powers who declared the sites of the tears holy ground and built great temples upon them. The constant prayers of the faithful keep the Tears firmly attuned to the heavens so that no Outsider could pass though.
To protect the faithful, who eyes were turned to the dangers beyond rather then the dangers around, Lorna created the Templars in all the races. Only one in a thousand has the talent to feel the location of a Tear in the planer barrier, and of these only a few were able to commit to the training need to develop their abilities to master the talents to use the magic within them.
In the year 218 of the Age of Regis, Emperor Shaddam the butcher, denied access to rebels in sanctuary within the high temple of Pratoris by the Templars high council, outlawed the order, seized their lands, and killed their families. Within 10 years every Templars had been hunted down and killed.
The Planer Barrier
A metaphor for the foundation of reality, the barrier that separates what is here, from all the other things that is out there, and establishes the rules by which the world functions.
- The Talent: Planer Sensitivity.

Attunement. Feat.- An attuned Sensitive has made his body part of the Planer barrier, this has several effects.
- He create a circle around him equal to his level + Wisdom adjustment that extra-planer travel by a weaker creature or device cannot penetrate.
- The Sensitive is also immune from extra planer effects such as burst of positive or negative energy from weaker sources. When up against stronger extra planer effects, the Sensitive gains damage resistance equal to his adjusted Will save.
