Editing Tarn Idoun (section)

==Personality==
Tarn idoun are inquisitive and methodical beings. Their work, whether researching spells or crafting firearms, is detailed and precise. To a tarn idoun magic and technology are relatively interchangeable — one merely a different form of the other. They are often controlled and guarded in social situations. Generally passive, tarn idoun are slow to anger. An irate member of the species is a rare and horrifying sight. Fortunately, tarn idoun display little passion for things outside of their chosen field of study except for challenging puzzles or riddles. They are gender neutral and reproduce asexually, a trait that most sentient races find unusual.

Tarn idoun seem to have little comprehension of the concept of humor, at least as other races consider it. Often a tarn idoun will engage in behavior that other races find amusing, though the tarn idoun is often oblivious to its comedic value. However, there have been some instances in which a tarn idoun appears to be displaying a sense of humor—albeit a peculiar one.

Companionship does not come easily to tarn idoun. However, once forged, the bonds of friendship are strong between a tarn idoun and its comrade. Only a tarn idoun’s most trusted allies are freely given an ioun stone. Such a gift is symbol of a deep trust between the tarn idoun and its companions. A companion of a tarn idoun that displays his ioun stone is welcomed in nearly every tarn idoun community as the ioun stone is a symbol to the tarn idoun that the companion is worthy of respect. The ioun stones are vessels of life force for a tarn idoun. They are objects to be cherished and revered. Even ioun stones obtained from other sources are closely guarded by a tarn idoun.
