Introduction
The kalashtar are a race of psionic humanoids from the Dream Plane. Long ago, they were abducted by the quori and taken to the material plane, where they have been held captive ever since. The kalashtar have been featured in various D&D supplements over the years, but they’ve never had a dedicated sourcebook… until now. In this post, we’ll be taking a look at the Kalashtar 5e Complete Guide, which was released earlier this year. We’ll go over the race’s history, their culture, and their place in the world of D&D.
History
Kalashtar 5e are a fictional race of humanoid creatures in the Eberron campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.
The Kalashtar are a compound race, created by the union of humans and aberrations from the Plane of Dreams. The original Kalashtar were created over 10,000 years ago in the lost continent of Sarlona. They fled to Khorvaire to escape the Quori, demonic invaders from the Plane of Dreams. Since arriving on Khorvaire, the Kalashtar have tried to live in peace, but they have been persecuted by xenophobic humans who see them as tainted monsters.
The Kalashtar are tall and slender, with almond-shaped eyes and smooth, hairless skin. They dress in simple clothes and typically wear their hair long. The males grow facial hair only during their adolescence. Kalashtar possess an innate psychic ability that allows them to communicate telepathically with each other and with certain animals.
When a Kalashtar dies, its spirit returns to the Plane of Dreams. The spirits of dead Kalashtar can possess other creatures on that plane, and they often do so in order to protect their living kin.

The Kalashtar Soulmelds

They are united by a shared dream, known as the “Quori Dream”, which allows them to communicate with one another across great distances. The Kalashtar are also renowned for their ability to meld their souls with certain objects, known as soulmelds.
There are four different types of soulmelds: chakra binds, totem Binds, vestigial arms, and warforged components. Chakra binds are soulmelds that are attuned to specific chakras, or energy centers, in the body. There are seven different chakras: crown, brow, throat, heart, hand, belly, and feet.
