Chiapre is a psionics school on Therbings (or Tlikria, to Zhdez). It is one of the smaller ones, but still quite influential.

Chiapre specializes in clairvoyance, making it unusual among psionics schools which normally have telepathy foremost even if they differentiate themselves with secondary skills. Clairvoyance is a cluster of not-strictly-related abilities, but one of the chief ones is object-reading: sensing the psychic residue left on an object (or in a place).

Object-reading is a particularly difficult school to operate because the most sensitive object readers find voidspace intolerable: voidspace manifests as a terrifying absence to the usually-subconscious proprioception-analog. Chiapre's object-reading tradition dates only back to shortly after the founding of Lienzia, the first settlement on Tlikria, when The Candlekeeper of Lienzia taught herself. Even then, The Candlekeeper has only reluctantly taken on students, considering herself a poor teacher.
