====== Session 36: The Dreamless Sleeper ======

=== Afternoon, 8th Low Summer, 498 CE ===

  * Revana, Sanglant and Ekhart were in the Chamber of Darkness with [[wiki:npcs:elden|Elden]] and the Sleeper.
    * Elden, as a Dreamer, was able to enter the Dreamworld.
    * The party asked him to send them them there, which he agreed to.

  * After a short, out-of-body experience, the party arrived at in the Dreamworld.
    * The place they arrive was very barren, stretching in darkness in all directions though they appear to be walking on a sea of water.
    * In the distance, they spied a figure laying on the ground, asleep.
  * They moved closer and inspected the body, which Revana confirmed to be Maya, the current Sleeper of the elves.
  * Living buried in her chest was a small spirit of some kind.
    * It called itself "Hifnos," and identified itself as a Darkness spirit.
    * Ekhart's theories of there being an 8th element were confirmed.
  * The party asked Hifnos some questions about who or what it was.
    * It said that it was a darkness spirit, which are spirits born with no desire of their own.
    * He was told to sleep by the elves, so he lives in the spirit of any elf that comes to the Dreamworld, keeping the Sleeper in a dreamless slumber.
    * He also said that if a darkness spirit wanted to destroy the world, it would probably have been told to do so.
  * Revana attempted to meditate and reach out to whatever forces she could reach in this place.
    * While meditating she felt two forces, one being a force similar to Terra that she had reached out to before.
    * The other feeling similar to Terra, but darker.
    * She reached out into the Darkness to see what was there, perhaps to find the sickness that the Elves claimed to be infecting Terra.
    * While reaching out, she felt her spirit being thrown through the Darkness, being pulled by something unknown to her.
    * Suddenly she came upon an elf, a woman who seemed to know Revana by her spirit, and told her she was her mother.
  * Revana returned and told the party about the Darkness and her mother.
    * Sang suddenly felt a connection to the Darkness through Revana similar to the one he had with the Faerealm through Ekhart.

  * The party was pulled back from the Dreamworld by Elden, where Revana asked about her mother.
    * Elden told them that he would tell them everything.
  * They left the Chamber of Dreams and returned to the Tower of the Moon.
  * The party began to ask Elden about Revana's mother.
    * Elden revealed that he was Revana's father, and that he and Revana's mother, Nya.
    * Nya had a plan to use a Darkness Spirit (or Forest Spirit as the elves called them) to travel directly to Terra.
    * When the other elves found out her plan, but before they could do anything about her, Nya stole a forest spirit from the Reliquary, and escaped.
    * Elden decided to not tell Rev about her mother and raise her as his pupil.
  * The party also asked about the nature of the Darkness Spirits.
    * Elden didn't seem to have any information about what the Darkness was or what Darkness spirits were.
    * He said that all the animated trees of the Loridael had Forest Spirits inside them.
    * The Forest Spirits were kept by the Circle of the Land druids, in a place called the Reliquary.
