A continuing competition held by the Zhodani government for excellence in psionic achievement.
Competition is staged in nearly all fields of psionics, including telekinetic weight-lifting, distance and accuracy teleportation, and many other events.
- The psionic games are held once per Olympiad, for a period of nearly four weeks, on Zhodane.
- The participants (mostly intendants) are selected by the various ruling councils, and preliminary competitions are held to reduce the numbers to manageable size.
- Intendants who do well in the games are promoted to Noble status.
Because the Zhodani system provides psionic training to all nobles and to the intendant class, the psionic games are a popular device for the masses to see the powers of their rulers in action.
