Dream Diary

The Dream Diary is a book that Elster can read that is used to help solve the Tarot puzzle in Rotfront. This diary offers insight into the other planets in the system being one of the few documents in the game to do so.

## Dream Diary Contents

>
> 6th Night,
>
> I dreamt I was an Imperial Farmer.
>
> I embraced my lover in the red deserts of Kitezh, when a storm consumed us,
>
> the sand grinding us down till nothing remained.
>
>
>
>

This entry details the Imperial planet of Kitezh detailing life as a farmer there, showing that life for the civilians on this farm world is tough with dangerous sand storms that threaten to swoop in from the deserts and kill you from their sheer intensity. This also could suggest that the Klimaforming on the planet is either incomplete or becoming undone following the death of Empress.

> 13th Night,
>
> I was a worker in the mines of Leng, when I was consumed by a shapeless sea of flesh,
>
> my flesh joining with the flesh of many others, until only my bones remained.
>
> My mind joined the collective of flesh, which persists beyond death.
>
>
>
>

This note details what we see in S-23 during the events of the game from the perspective of one of the Gestalt Workers. This worker was consumed by the flesh below, and informs us that this collective flesh at the bottom of Leng is made up of the minds and souls of all those who succumbed to it. This suggestion actually implies that anyone who died from the Flesh and became one with it may actually still live on in a way.

> 16th Night,
>
> As a storm raged in the sky, I fell from a ruined sky-scraper on Vineta,
>
> but i never reached the ocean below. I kept falling, when suddenly
>
> lightning stuck the building, and I woke up.
>
>
>
>

This one details the dreamer on Vineta, where they see the destroyed cities of humanities past, and fall from a skyscraper. This is one of two entries that doesnt have the dreamer die from something in the dream rather they are awoken by the lightning.

>
> 18th Night,
>
> I was floating in the sunless sea below the ice of Rotfront,
>
> when I saw a large creature move in the darkness below me
>
> in the moons dark core.
>
>
>
>

This entry details the dreamer being beneath the settlements on Rotfront and floating in the water that lays beneath the frozen surface. Here they saw a large creature beneath them that lay within the moons dark core. Suggesting that another Eldrich being akin to the flesh below may live beneath the Nation on Rotfront.

>
> 19th Night,
>
> I saw a burning eye in the sky above the clouds of Buyan.
>
> I was walking through the floating imperial palace,
>
> when the gaze of the sun-like iris burned my body to ashes.
>
>
>
>

This entry details the Dreamer's final dream. Here, they are on the capital of the Empire, where they see a Eldritch Eye in the skies above the planet. Ultimately, the eye burns their body into ashes, as they walked around the Palace of the Empire. This is likely the same eye seen in the Lily/Artifact Ending, which is theorized to be the King in Yellow, suggesting that the King in Yellow has strong connection to Buyan and the Empire.

### Heimat

Heimat is the only inhabited location not mentioned by the Dreamer in the Dream Diary. This may indicate that it's the only place spared by the Eldritch events and reality-shaping hinted at in the game.
