Rathor (Location)

Do channels exist to exercise the Endowment -- all of them? Or do they exist to provide the transfer of selyn to renSimes?
The Endowment genetic pattern is one, huge, exception to the Farris genetics rule - it blends perfectly and tenaciously with the Farris genetic pattern, persists even when dormant for generations, and usually reappears in a more stable form. Endowed Gens like Solamar and Halimer Grant provide that stability.

They can do magick as well as ESP..."
