Ancient Psions | Ancient Psions practised a form of ancestor worship, communing with the divine spirits of the dead through a Y-goblet that "cupped their spirits" and poured out their souls into new Psions. Worship involved daily rituals in which the Y-goblet was filled with offerings for ancestors, such as water to wash out their eyes,<ref name="EI">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]], [[Lore:Confessions#Entry I|Entry I]]''</ref> salt to roughen their skin,<ref name="EII">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]], [[Lore:Confessions#Entry II|Entry II]]''</ref> or linen to bind their wounds.<ref name=EVI>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]], [[Lore:Confessions#Entry VI|Entry VI]]''</ref> Other practices included physically drawing the Y-goblet on a nearby surface. Adherents believed that every other person, or at least Psions, had a spark of the divine within them, physically evident in their Y-shaped pupils.<ref name="EIII">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]], [[Lore:Confessions#Entry III|Entry III]]''</ref> | ||
In prehistory, long before the Psion species joined the Cabal, a group of exceptionally powerful Psions known as the God-Thoughts dominated the species with their psychic abilities. They destroyed the Y-goblet faith for seeing divinity in every common person. Its suppression was so brutal that while the faith survived to the present, its practitioners still feared discovery and worshipped only in secret.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]], [[Lore:Confessions#Entry VIII|Entry VIII]]''</ref> | In prehistory, long before the Psion species joined the Cabal, a group of exceptionally powerful Psions known as the God-Thoughts dominated the species with their psychic abilities.

Psions are bipedal humanoid beings, typically shorter than humans. They have hairless, veined heads | Psions are bipedal humanoid beings, typically shorter than humans. They have hairless, veined heads with a single eye surrounded by black trident-shaped creases. These eyes can be either blue or orange and have distinctive Y-shaped pupils. Their eyes turn opaque grey once they die, with the pupil disappearing. Their faces have a series of holes above their mouths, possibly spiracles for breathing. Psions serving in the [[Red Legion]] have the tops of their heads exposed, even in harsh environments such as Mars, [[Io]], and [[Nessus]], without any visible damage. They have five fingers on each hand, though often, their armor groups their middle and ring fingers into one. | ||
Normally, they are significantly smaller than their Cabal superiors; however, some high-ranking Psions, like [[Kargen, the Technocrat]], [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] and [[Sizmic, the Net-Desecrator]], are far larger than the average Psion and tower over their Cabal compatriots. In the case of [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]], this is a product of psychic joining between multiple Psions, who are individually normally sized.<ref name="Joining">'''Bungie ( | Normally, they are significantly smaller than their Cabal superiors; however, some high-ranking Psions, like [[Kargen, the Technocrat]], [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]] and [[Sizmic, the Net-Desecrator]], are far larger than the average Psion and tower over their Cabal compatriots.
