Morpheus Dreamdew Siosal

Morpheus, also known as The Sandman or The Frozen Aristocrat, is the Feylord of dreams. Furthermore, he is the father of Cedarwood, though he only recently found out his son is still alive. He's been hiding himself within his palace, hoping that nobody would bother him, due to the loss of not only his son, but his wife through an explosion.

## History

Morpheus is an ancient fey lord, predating even the summer and winter court. He does not belong to either, seeing as both groups tend to respect, yet fear his power and abilities. He has been ruling within his domain, the Meadow of Dreams, for eons, before he met his soon-to-be wife, Aly-Sira Ignal von Hohenheim. Aly-Sira actively sought out Morpheus, in hopes that he could help with her research into the possibility of dreams connecting with the future. Morpheus, capable of seeing the dreams of people, saw that she only had a simple dream, to study in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by flowers of all sorts. Something stirred within him as he saw that dream. He was known to take on consorts from time to time, but he never felt like this before.

Soon enough, they both started to fall for each other as they studied together. Morpheus, who only had his dreams to think about, realised the true potential of connecting arcane abilities with dreams and the chaos of fey magic. Together, they created many magical items, most of them simple experiments, others powerful artifacts that they quickly locked away. One of the items they created, was a simple metal rod. This metal rod was supposed to give the user the ability to change their shape into the version of their dreams- but the artifact was a failure. It did not fully work, so they both put it in a box and locked it in the attic of their house. By then, Morpheus had left his palace to live in a cozy wooden house with a big garden, together with Aly-Sira. He still tended to his duties, but slowly delegated more and more work towards his servants.

It took a few years, but soon enough Aly-Sira got pregnant. The both of them wept with joy as they welcomed Cedarwood Siosal Hohenheim into the world. A child prodigy in all ways. But their family was not meant to be.

## Abilities

### Lord of Dreams

As the Lord of Dreams, Morpheus can change and adapt dreams to whatever he wishes. Being in his vicinity, enables him to see the deepest dreams of those around him. Through the use of his sand, he can create illusiory images of these dreams and turn them into a semblance of reality. His abilities are feared and respected within the fey realm, but deemed useless by most of those on the material plane. Only the eldest of fey remember the inherent power of dream magic.

### Arcane Abilities

Through his studies together with Aly-Sira, Morpheus has gathered quite an array of arcane abilities. Though his focus lies on his natural magic, he is a capable wizard that can use a multitude of schools, like enchantment and divination. Furthermore, he has strengthed his dream abilities through the study of illusion magic.

### Fey Abilities

Like most elder fey, Morpheus has an array of abilities unique to them. He can steal the name of a person or modify their memories. He tends to only rarely use these abilities, as they don't work well on other fey and he rarely leaves the feywild himself.
