Dream Plane

# **Description of Plane**

* The Dreamscape is one of the two Etheric Planes. It overlays the Material Plane and is constantly shifting with the thought and whim of The Dreamer. Every location in the Material Plane is mimicked on the Dreamscape. Travel is difficult, with shifting tides of the landscape, and the denizens of the Dreaming are often vicious and unforgiving.
* Collection of dreams and nightmares of all beings of Phantara (not the other planes)
* Everchanging plane, what you have once seen may not exist tomorrow night
* Hard to navigate unless a Dreamwalker or Dream Mage

# **Realms**

Marked with a (D) for Dream and (N) for Nightmare. The Dream Plane has far more Realms than are possible to list here, but these are the more commonly known ones.

* Starscape
	+ The night sky almost literally unfolds before you, blooming into a sea of stars that extend forever in all directions. As they spread apart, they grow farther and farther away until the space between them is just emptiness. Darkness. The stars you can see are like beacons, connected by faintly glowing ‘roads’ that connect them, similar to how one might illustrate constellations. You stand on one of these illuminated paths that feel strangely welcoming, and there is an underlying ominous sense that if you leave this road, the emptiness beyond it on either side will not be so kind.
	+ The fewer Vitality you have (from 10) the harder it is to see the path you are following (similar to the Ways)
	+ Borders on the edge of the shadow
* Upside-Down (D)
	+ Inverted primal plane, twisted
* Nightmare
	+ May appear anywhere, is not a separate realm
* Lost Hero Catacombs (N)
* Field of Lilies (D)
	+ Sun bee’s home
* Black Desert (N)
	+ The twisted reflection of the Sea of Dust by the Essence War.  The sand ripples in the distance as Nightmare energy rises from the ground under your feet.
* Crystal Grove of Calben (D)
	+ The Unicorn son of Essence Knight Gekek Farwalker, this Grove has been moved in Dream to be a reflection of Gekek's home and has a life-size statue of his mother as the centerpiece to the Grove.
* Collected Children (N)
	+ Bad peter pan stuff
* Dream Land
	+ This is different for each person and will adjust itself to the person’s dreams
* Dream Sea (D and N)
	+ The rainbow colored waves are a reflection of Phantara and are filled with creatures of both Dream and Nightmare versions of the Phantaran creatures. Rumors speak of a ship made of Dream Wood that sails both the seas of the Dream and Phantara, able to pass from one to another without issue.

# **Points of Interest**

* Planetarium of Stars (Starscape)
	+ Before you stands a strange, fantastical building. The foundation of which is a black stone that nearly blends in with the darkness of space, but offers small blue lanterns outside the front door on either side. Its base shape is that of a square, but vaulting high from the middle is a great dome that blazes a similar blue to the lanterns by the entrance. The door itself is shimmering and golden, with not words but instead a constellation of an owl engraved on its surface.
* Twin towers
	+ Lady Dream - In her crystal tower built of fantastical dreams, she weaves happiness and joy with her thoughts and hopes for the children and believers on Phantara.
	+ Lord Nightmare - No longer corrupted by the Black Dragon, he has reclaimed his dark tower and broods over his lands, no longer driven to war with his sister in a land war and instead contemplating his role in the balance of the Dream Plane.
* Dream Forge
	+ Protected by the Mammoth Tribe and their Chief Tusk.
	+ The protected forge is not accessible to anyone without permission from Lady Dream.
* Haunted Houses
	+ Living beings that take the shape of houses to invite travelers inside.  Once inside they drain vitality from those who die.
	+ The only time they can materialize on the primal plane is Blood Moon

# **People/Flora Fauna**

* Reflections  - images of those you have been dreaming about going about their daily routines
* The twisted - Nightmare versions of the reflections who are aggressive.
* Dream Bees
* Dream Wasps
* Mammoth Barbarian Tribe (Specifically around the Forge)

# **Entities of Importance**

* Lady Dream
* Lord Nightmare
* Tusk - He is the "big brother" to the Lady and Lord in his actions but no one has ever learned what his true motives are other than the protection of the Forge.
* Myrtle the Turtle
* Calben
* Synnathera Starblosom - She serves as the Right Fist of Tusk and is his vengeance upon Phantara. As one of the most powerful Li'Sidhe, she is sometimes treated as a leader to their people, though she scoffs at the thought.
* Pipenpepepotimus - Dream Mouse, master burrower
	+ This mouse can speak any language, prefers common, and can open portal holes to move around the dream, likes to play tricks on people and is very absent minded (mind of a 8 year old)

# **Resource of value**

* Dream honey (made by the Sun Bees)
* Nightmare Wasp Wax
* Golden Apples - One time a year a tree will grow somewhere and produce 3 apples ( If touched by nightmare lord steals instead of gives). These Golden Apples will naturally heal one lost vitality in the person who eats them.
* Artifact - The Lantern of Travel/Staff of travel - owned by Myrtle
