EDIT: Here is an interesting thread about the Elans and how Humans became Mind Flayers over on the Psionics boards.

04-28-07, 04:11 PM WEll, in my campaign world, after an apocolypse scenerio, there were three types of humaniod.

The humans, dwarves, elves, etc- Those who did not acend into a higher plane.

The Elans- Those who ascended partialy but could not completly ascend.

The Ascended (I'm working on a template for this)- Those who ascended into a greater plane of existence (celestia mostly), but in return could not physically affect the material plane or they would be sent straight to Tateruos (sp?).
