Happily continuing the thread drift: this sounds great. If I'm getting it right, it's basically a medieval middle-east/byzantine fantasy world threatened by Lovecraftian horrors from the Astral plane. Nice!

I guess the next thing I want to know is: where does the psi come in, thematically? Often Psi seems to come in as a result of Lovecraftian horrors arriving, disturbing the universe, etc etc - but from your description it sounds as if in this game world Psi powers were already an accepted part of society before the coming of the Lovecraftian stuff: is that right?

If so, how do you envision psionics fitting into the normal operations of medieval society? Just wondering.
