They wear white masks modeled after their queen, hooded robes too, vantablack, thick enough to keep out the ever-approaching winter and the prying eyes of the ego-blind. They say their hands are the hands of the Monarch. The left is merciful. With it, these masked shadows strip from the dreampunks their ailments and pains. The right is less kind. Still gingerly, filled with love, the Right Hand of the Monarch is a conduit for mortality. Death is imposed upon the still living flesh of the cruel, of nightmare things, reserved for when realities go too far.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To join the Monarch&#8217;s Mask&#8217;d Mercy is to give up living as you are. Your name is now the number of a verse and the book in which it is found. Your purpose in life is to heal, and, if needed, to harm. From an early age, an acolyte is trained in the Mortal&#8217;s Monastery. It is a black, crooked building wherein those secreted within are taught the Enlightenment of Love&#8212;a teaching found nowhere else.&nbsp; Dreampunks learn that their lives are born from the Monarch&#8217;s kindness, and her stern, death-dyeing touch.

They carry with them an amber coin that they flip between their fingers, chew absentmindedly on, spin on a countertop, leave it spinning, stop it with the flat of their hand when murder is due. If dreampunks are alive, than they are life-eaters, just like everything else in the multiverse. That means it is the job of dreampunks who are savvy to this bit of selfish wisdom to steal, take, and control whatever they want. Criminals, the lot of them, spoken of as a neverending threat, or in the way people do terrorists during times of discord. Sometimes this syndicate instead uses its influence to help out its fellow dreampunks. After all, if they were to all die, there would be no more dreams to eat, and thus no life left to live.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Find the Dreameaters throughout the Eden Under Eventide. You won&#8217;t know them at first, and they won&#8217;t care to tell you what they are. They&#8217;re abnormally skilled, more than a little bit clever. Many of them are soulknives who never leave any evidence behind, or Phantoms trained by the shadar-kai for purposes kept secret since the earliest times. Yuan-Ti who become disillusioned with the progress of Xibalba&#8217;s civilization fall easily into the syndicate&#8217;s plans. Tortles jaded during their long lives, ghostwises separated from their kin&#8212;these stories are common for Dreameaters too. Some of them still care for their fellow dreampunks. But because they care, they know they have to do these kinds of things, to protect that which keeps them real, that is, their loved ones, their passions, their own dreams of the future.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All this utilitarianism doesn&#8217;t bleach deep enough to remove the Dreameating Syndicate&#8217;s sins. They still run rackets, organize crime, or get up to debaucheries and cruel magics and infernal rituals. They&#8217;ll trade the souls of the dead for promises and deals and never let regret stop them from doing it again. Beware these, trust them not, lest you know what you offer is more than what your life is worth. Leading the Dreameating Syndicate is the mythical Les Neuf Vies, a rumored dreampunk of no discernable race who has lived and died nine times over.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDd_1sUMFTukpXMB5AbZExv3PBYi16ODpJKH5z5T3Fz3MzOjPcx4CvjIGsgRpaYiV5hLndlT5QEnICH4v44CD_J_gewyF9Mf4MBQ6Y2t6-DC5xAUJAbgAVsI8yUJX35x2liOd4zskvv7t/s1108/Igor+Kieryluk+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1108" data-original-width="928" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDd_1sUMFTukpXMB5AbZExv3PBYi16ODpJKH5z5T3Fz3MzOjPcx4CvjIGsgRpaYiV5hLndlT5QEnICH4v44CD_J_gewyF9Mf4MBQ6Y2t6-DC5xAUJAbgAVsI8yUJX35x2liOd4zskvv7t/w536-h640/Igor+Kieryluk+2.jpg" width="536" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Igor Kieryluk</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Aberrant Bloc</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is no secret that the Eden Under Eventide is haunted still by the echoes of immortal minds long since gifted death. Those echoes call to things from the Far Realm, whom flood alien and warped through the eclipse to terrorize dreampunks. The Aberrant Bloc, born from these events, captures, shatters, and harnesses the minds of the Far Realm aberrations that litter the world. They are hunters, sorcerers, abjurers all, each one constantly training to fully harness their psionics into not just weapons, but roads to enlightenment. These beliefs make the Aberrant Bloc one of the few factions who does not wholly bow to the Raven Queen, nor her Half-Light Diaconate. Instead, they believe that it is them who should rule the Eden Under Eventide, for they are the future of the dreampunks, and they alone offer a path to ascending beyond their half-lives into a greater, more divine thing.&nbsp;</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This has led to no civil war, nor will it ever. The Aberrant Bloc and the Half-Light Diaconate are kept in peace by clerics of the latter. Likewise, the Aberrant Bloc is just as focused on political power as they are protecting the Eden Under Eventide from Far Realm incursions. Thus, the Aberrant Bloc has been forced to resort to more indirect methods for their influence wars. They use their protective services to garner influence, convert dreampunks to their beliefs, and therefore increase the power of their bloc. At the same time, they put on demonstrations, parades, and tours throughout the Eden Under Eventide to further preach their superiority. Never does the Half-Light Diaconate respond negatively to these events; the shadar-kai pay relatively little attention to the Aberrant Bloc.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aberrantcists wear proudly their deformities, attained from their experiments with their captured aberrant prey. Third eyes, slime, cloaks of astral wind&#8212;these things mark them wherever they go and they take no effort to hide this. The bloc leaders, called the Mysterions, are said to be so horrifically changed that they no longer appear like their original selves. For this reason, or so the rumor goes, the Aberrant Bloc uses liaisons to communicate the wills of its leaders.&nbsp;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtR1TrTfyZzmtEcxf5gvYZBiork7tEdZZDJX4qllC-PKU1HXna2vaA9BbGw-uVyg7fbOukFDNXNeD_N5RTJRpGCQYVbIfRwngg8SL7FmoWrBT9h10gKx_IfTuOIxgJqRN1OOlt63cWS4qi/s1700/Lius+Lasahido.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1118" data-original-width="1700" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtR1TrTfyZzmtEcxf5gvYZBiork7tEdZZDJX4qllC-PKU1HXna2vaA9BbGw-uVyg7fbOukFDNXNeD_N5RTJRpGCQYVbIfRwngg8SL7FmoWrBT9h10gKx_IfTuOIxgJqRN1OOlt63cWS4qi/w640-h420/Lius+Lasahido.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lius Lasahido<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sect of Scriptures</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As the shadar-kai teach, dreampunks first learned to write from giants, who used tortle shells for their runestones. With that arcane writing studied and learned, wizardry was born,&nbsp; which in turn led to the dreampunks establishing order throughout the heart of the Eden Under Eventide. Those original scribes game together to make the Sect of Scriptures. With scrolls, grimoires, and holy books in hand, the members of this occult sect explore the Eden Under Eventide, recording, learning, and further establishing order through this chaotic plane. Scribing Wizards are protected by Rune Knights trained either from birth or those who were once criminals and now wish to pay off their sins. Others, such as those who make pacts with Outsiders, or who rely on the clockwork order stolen from Mechanus, find themselves joining the Sect of Scriptures as well, if for nothing else beyond learning the secrets of their magic.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Often told, the story of a sect member stumbling into a fatal yet fated doom. Curiosity is considered both sin and virtue by the dreampunks, and the scribes embody both aspects. Though their developments, always applied to a special branch called the Borromean Rings&#8212;small studio-organizations who seek to turn scribed knowledge into artifice&#8212;go far in the mission of bringing everlasting peace to the Eden Under Eventide, they also lead to slumbering monstrosities, horrible curses, and the terrifying half-nightmares that hide in those places where twilight cannot reach. Still, the allure of adventure, and to learning deeper truth, sees the Sect of Scriptures replenishing its members every Ecliptic Year.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Eight wizards stand united as the Eight Edenic Roads, whom lead the Sect of Scriptures. They unanimously agree that the Witch Queen planeswalker Iggwilv is their ninth member out of gratitude for the vast majority of knowledge she&#8217;s shared with the Sect over the last several centuries. Each of the Roads represents another school of magic, as well as another aspect of the rune writing that was stolen from the now-mad giants. Only through scholarly inheritance can this position be earned. Rare is it that this happens, and rarer is it that the Roads put their collective minds together in the Fifth-Plane Tower to solve any of the Eden Under Eventide&#8217;s numerous problems. Their own magical ventures take them far away from where their powers are most needed.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd4MO-5oo5bvWz98fqt_JmvFhJgSe_KHHVHdbm3hpyotH9grL2J3wOLXyMtaS3wgpMoWkj3Zp3ERgT30Aba_swqy44OAAKk-XIPW9hiWmFtWv_p2nD3TaeegplXad7z_jORM0PVaM5ohc/s1898/Bonhotal+William.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1898" data-original-width="1317" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd4MO-5oo5bvWz98fqt_JmvFhJgSe_KHHVHdbm3hpyotH9grL2J3wOLXyMtaS3wgpMoWkj3Zp3ERgT30Aba_swqy44OAAKk-XIPW9hiWmFtWv_p2nD3TaeegplXad7z_jORM0PVaM5ohc/w444-h640/Bonhotal+William.jpg" width="444" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bonhotal William<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Knights of Eden</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">O&#8217; great Knights of Eden, fabled are you, heralded with the dream-joy of those who venture not into the Deep Night or the Haunted Day. Only through valor, glory, skill, or heritage may one be accepted into this most supreme and chivalrous order. Once initiated, a badge, land deed, and stipend are given to the newfound knight by the Xibalban state. The ser or dame is sent off to some remote region of the Eden Under Eventide. Sometimes they are sent alongside different factions. Sometimes they are sent alone. Always are they sent with a mission to protect, slay, and purify, to abjure any wretched reality or cruel aberration, to hunt down the fey courts and free their victims and smash their glass mazes, to expand the Sublime Light that is twilight into those disturbed places where the Weave unravels into threadbare annihilations destitute just as they are absolute.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Knights of Eden are not always treated like heroes. Many of them cause just as many problems as they solve and for this their reputations are forever besmirched. A knight may have saved some distant outpost, only to sacrifice half the population to do so. Never is this done with malicious intent. The Knights of Eden have no doom-wishes for their fellow dreampunks, nor do they view life as cheap. They simply cannot save every life, and though they try too, their failures become nooses &#8216;round their necks that keeps their spirits in ache, their resolve ever-sharp.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shadar-kai from the Half-Light Diaconate appoint a Grand Cross to lead the organization, who inturn appoints ranks as needed to the rest of the knights. </span><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Xi Xa Wa </span><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">is a Yuan-Ti so thoroughly invested in the survival of the Eden Under Eventide that they have sworn a sacred oath to watch over the plane until even their soul turns to dust.

Every member of the troupe has given themselves wholly to the art of creation. They have realized a deeper truth about the Eden Under Eventide, one that so many others hear but do not believe because they cannot experience it themselves.

Some become monks who change their shape or summon forth the astral self locked within all things. Wildpunks tap into the lingering traces of the immortals whom birthed them, shifting into bestial guises or unleashing souls suffused with enchantment. A ghostwise with a silver tongue will warp the thoughts with every word. A mountain dwarf with a clockwork heart will make impossible odds into absolute destinies. Splintered throughout the Ender Under Eventide this Everlasting Troupe into Everlasting Troupes each with their own ringleaders and their own rules.

Every mobed is either a shadar-kai or a dreampunk who has been directly educated by a shadar-kai. Devout and pious to the Half-Light Trinity these clerics, each of whom deeply embodies one gloaming aspect of the Raven Queen. Those inspired by the Monarch are educators and judges both in Xibalba and in the wider Eden Under Eventide. Mobeds forever Soothed embody peace. With a hand enshadowed by twilight they bridge the disparate yet soulbound dreampunk races. And those who radiate the Sublime Light wander far and wide like echoes rebuffed along a canyon&#8217;s walls into the outer dark where the most wretched of things are rooted out for the good of all.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &quot;EB Garamond&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Trained by the Diaconate are the bladesingers.

Set loose they are like secret police, unmarked and unknown save to those with influence or the shadar-kai. Though they are servants of the Raven Queen, they are no more privy to her attentions than any other dreampunk.

They keep the Rorschach Throne empty. They balance the countless factions, listen to the lobbying of all interests, and use strictly democratic vote to determine the directions Xibalba will grow.

Half-dream and half-reality means they weren&#8217;t evolved or created like other races throughout the cosmos. Likewise, the rules that govern many dreampunk races&#8212;like Yuan-Ti being evil&#8212;do not apply to this surreal Eden. That being said, dreampunks do have one core difference compared to other races: they do not dream when they sleep, and no one knows what happens to their souls when they die. Necromancy doesn&#8217;t work to bring dreampunks back to life either, nor do spells like speak with dead ever reach them.</li><li><b><i>THE EDEN UNDER EVENTIDE IS ECLIPSED BY A PORTAL TO DIFFERENT PLANES. </i></b>Yet another of this world&#8217;s mysteries is its constant eclipse. No magic nor device has ever disturbed its path, and it never fails to at least partially eclipse the Eden&#8217;s sun. This eclipse is also the source of most of the world&#8217;s life. The immortals of antiquity fell through, and now the Realities enter the plane through this same entrance. While attempts have been made to block this hole, never have they succeeded, and it is a fear for many dreampunks that eventually something will invade that will spell their end.</li><li><b><i>FEY COURTS PLAGUE THE DREAMPUNKS WITH CRUEL TRICKS OUT OF A NEED FOR SUPERIORITY AND LOVE. </i></b>Before the dreampunks were born, the Glass Court haunted the half-asleep immortals. Though they&#8217;ve long since lost their precious toys, they continue their games with the dreampunks, kidnapping them, trapping them, and torturing them until their prey either loves them or is killed for entertainment. A second fey court, the Court of Wine, does much the same to the dreampunks, but also wages a fairy tale war with the Glass Court. The debaucheries of these Outsiders is the source for many of the dreampunks&#8217; collective woes.</li><li><b><i>THE WEAVE IS WARPED BY THE HALF-DREAMS OF DEAD IMMORTALS, MAKING MAGIC STRANGE.</i></b> So great was the combined magical force of the dying immortals that their pent-up dreams disturbed this plane&#8217;s Weave. Mutations in magic are frequent. Non-traditional forms of spellcasting, magic manifests most often such as psionics are disturbingly common&#8212;and extraplanar influences, particularly from the entreated Mechanus, leaking Far Realm, and the courts of both fey and genie alike, all of whom are attracted to this plane&#8217;s wyrd magic, has led to unique understanding of how the Weave works. Should this power ever be mastered by the dreampunks, the potential they have to affect both their world and the wider multiverse is nearly beyond compare.</li><li><b><i>LITTERING THE EDEN UNDER EVENTIDE ARE SOMNOLENT SUPERNATURAL DANGERS LEFT OVER FROM A NIGHTMARE WAR. </i></b>The warped Weave has littered the Eden Under Eventide with countless supernatural regions and unearthly roads. Many dreampunks throw themselves into these places hoping to learn more about their shared experience, while others stick to the arcane pathways which bind all outposts to the central City. Much of dreampunk society is based on trying to control, live with, or gain mastery over these supernatural regions&#8212;an impossible task for a likewise impossible people. Also known to the dreampunks is the reason for the violent themes shared by many of these supernatural regions. The shadar-kai call it a Nightmare War, which played out early in the evolution of the Eden Under Eventide. What this Nightmare War exactly was it never fully detailed, though rumor speaks that this is the reason shadar-kai teach the Half-Light Trinity as they do.</li><li><b><i>THEOLOGY KEEPS THE DREAMPUNKS BOUND TOGETHER JUST AS WELL AS IT KEEPS THEM IN CONFLICT. </i></b>It is well known that the Raven Queen, under her many occult names, is what led to the genesis of the Eden Under Eventide. It is also known that she is not present in the world, having left behind only Her feathers&#8212;the shadar-kai themselves. These shadar-kai have made the central City of the world a theocracy, binding together the many dreampunks with faith in the Half-Light Trinity. Though this religion promotes a feeling of shared community and experience, the looseness of it creates wildly varied interpretations. Driven by their own beliefs in the Monarch, the Soothed, and the Sublime Light, dreampunks sometimes find themselves on evil paths or (literally) becoming monsters themselves. If this bothers the shadar-kai, they show it not; and a few rumors tell that these diametric and warped understandings of the Half-Light Trinity are subtly encouraged.</li><li><b><i>BLUE-SKY COAL IS WHAT KEEPS THE DREAMPUNKS SAFE IN THEIR TWILIT CITIES. </i></b>When mortality washed throughout the glooming forests of the Eden Under Eventide, the elements themselves became a churning, chaotic swirl. Water broke apart stone, wind blew down forests, avalanches crushed all manner&#8217;s of budding flower. And, for the first time, ancient trees were burned, and across half-dreamed eons all that was left behind was deep-reaching veins of phantasmal, blue-sky coal. Burning this coal has led to a mystical and industrial revolution. The central city has grown gargantuan, the power of coal-fueled light beating back the darkness and giving the dreampunks agency over the night-sworn reaches of their world. As technology continues to grow side-by-side with magic&#8217;s warping, the dreampunks stand poised on the cliff&#8217;s edge, preparing to hurdle themselves into the void that is a future built from their dreams and not those of their ancestors.</li><li><b><i>TRAGEDY IS COMMON, BUT ALWAYS LEADS TO PEACE. </i></b>The most common stories in the Eden Under Eventide are tragedies in all their many forms. A somber mood is one held by most dreampunks, even if it is sometimes buried under a hoard of wanderlust or hope. The shadar-kai teach this as good, for it means that the dreampunks lives have meaning&#8212;for themselves, their descendents, and for the Raven Queen too. Mayhaps, they say, if the dreampunks can find a way through all the tragedy, they too will become divine and join the Sublime Light. Though this teaching is considered by the dreampunks to be foolish, it has created a special mindset: one that seeks to turn all woes into future weal.</li></ol><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Humans are reserved for Outsider characters&#8212;rarities to the extreme, usually only one or two in the world at a time.</p><p><b>EDEN UNDER EVENTIDE</b> is a sprawling forest of supermassive trees, at times stabbed with mountains or gouged out with fathomless lakes that brood underneath a permanently twilit sky in which sits a total solar eclipse. At times the thing eclipsing the sun will move, allowing more light; however, the eclipse itself never ends. Littering the world are isolated strangities built from the Dreampunks magic (or that of the fey or something else); lone clocktowers rising gargantuan into the sky where sorcerers create miracles; the dens and burrows of immortal beasts who accepted not the Raven Queen&#8217;s gift of mortality; vast and labyrinthine mazes of glass where the fey trap Dreampunks in hells of endless trickery.</p><p>The Dreampunks of Eventide, despite their different natures, have a rather unified culture. This culture has its variations, splits into subcultures and so on, and is scattered across the plane and connected by Unearthly Roads that shorten the impossible distances. Some groups of Dreampunks choose to remain isolated, with wandering monkish loxodon moving seismically through the dim forest valleys, or circles of wildfire-worshipping dwarves hidden in the hearts of immense coal engines, whose light lines brass-forged streets of furtive, half-dreamed cities.</p><p>Binding this all together is the Half-Light Trinity - the default religion that is interpreted again and again in ever more different ways throughout the Eden Under Eventide. Below is the genesis myth of this strange faith.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghvScFTyqHrGuokRJmmOE4A2ysnX35mXmCJjOeMF3jekpbsicI3z8nF2FIMkK3uO9t0VJ2lzqHq8pMWsWMgLCjqLlkGb6teRHSTluF-QR40VSkOguRunherEI98oI004hOZDe5_KFj8kJh/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1218" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghvScFTyqHrGuokRJmmOE4A2ysnX35mXmCJjOeMF3jekpbsicI3z8nF2FIMkK3uO9t0VJ2lzqHq8pMWsWMgLCjqLlkGb6teRHSTluF-QR40VSkOguRunherEI98oI004hOZDe5_KFj8kJh/w381-h640/image.png" width="381" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">By&nbsp;Zuzzana Wuzyk</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><p></p><p><b>THE GENESIS OF THE EDEN UNDER EVENTIDE</b></p><p>As told by the shadar-kai, and their Gloom Weaving Mobeds</p><p>&#8220;From out the darkness she waltzed, our Gloaming Queen, dance partners too, death and memory. We followed Her into this twilit world, flew down as ravens from the abyss of its eclipse born on beams of dusk and dawn. You were not here yet. Nothing but a dream in the heads of immortal things that neither slept nor could wake. To each of those immortals our Queen did visit. She washed their matted hair, cleaned their bedsores, infected as they were by the curses that only lives lived too long could throng. With us, she shoo&#8217;d away the fairies, their Court of Glass, who dance in plague of all us still.</p><p>&#8220;Then, she answered the immortals&#8217; prayers.</p><p>&#8220;Each one was given the gift of true sleep. Mortality was pressed upon their souls with raven feathers. As they died, their heads split open, and out flowed their endless half-dreams, hallucinations, weirdling sleep paralyses. They flooded this immortal world in a great chaotic press, horizon to horizon, fading and dying and breaking apart, warping the world into this.</p><p>&#8220;Our Queen watched. Then she left. She departed with no commands for us, no task but to experience what was destined to be our suffering. We who were left are we who watch. Though queenless, we have shaped this eventide garden with what wisdoms she left behind&#8212;the Half-Light Trinity.</p><p>&#8220;First there is the Monarch, the predominant aspect of the Goddess and Creator. It has no memory of the past, only the thing needed to reach the future. Through the Monarch inside all of us, we impose order upon Eventide, soothe the chaos, create a stable ground for life to thrive. Know this as our Mother.</p><p>&#8220;Then there is the Soothed, the heart of our God-Queen, and all hearts of Eventide too. Death and sleep, a concord among the dreamed. The Soothed is our peace, our destiny to maybe wake again&#8212;to sit under shaded boughs of primeval trees in succulent, sublime silence. Know this as our Sister.</p><p>&#8220;And lastly, there is the Sublime Light, the artha of all us in this Eden Under Eventide who must wander under the gated eclipse, the hollowed sun, protected in our immortal mortality, knowing that sleep will come from which we will never wake. Know this as our Soul.</p><p>&#8220;Through the Half-Light Trinity, embodying it, worshipping it, becoming it, dreams transformed into something else. You became peoples, scattered but now gathered, few and than many.</p><p></p><p>&#8220;Legacy to the Queen, in Her name only, swilah.&#8221;</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2020/11/eden-under-eventide-building-fantasy.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2020/11/eden-under-eventide-building-fantasy.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2020-11-19T14:50:00-08:00'>November 19, 2020</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2020/11/eden-under-eventide-building-fantasy.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=6671503975345213574&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=6671503975345213574&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
