@Rilla@Skallagrim
Can you guys tell me about The Dreamers, The Forgotten, The Rebellion, and The Xindhi. There is obviously a very detailed and expansive relationship shared by these things, but I am only just beginning to read up on it. So if there are any highlights I should take note of or if you feel like info dumping me. I welcome whatever you feel like telling me about since am quite curious about all of it.
While I have nothing but a cursory dabbling in Rilla's mythos, here is a quick outline of mine to give you an idea of what is going on.
The Dreaming Mythos:
The Xindhi is a species of beings from a world five times the size of earth and three times the gravity. They are an old species having been birthed about four billion years after the birth of the multiverse. Throughout their brutal existence they evolved through their technology into mastering their energy forms. Not all Xindhi adopt the energy forms of Aesr, retaining their flesh forms for untold millennium.
Their form of government is a parliamentary monarchy, with the Dreaming Queen as the head of the empire, while her Gothi run the day to day empire. The War of Pattern occurred when Prince Autik sought to seize the throne from his sister. He was defeated and sent to the Shroud. Shroud is a pocket dimension where only the galdhr can be accessed. Being driven mad, Autik took the name Ghoukas, Lord of Nightmares and mastered the galdhr to a degree far beyond even the power of his sister. He broke free and gathered an army, the Nightmare legions comprised of the Forgotten, Xindhi who follow him and Shu’fasa, monsterous creatures who see him as a God.
The second attempt to capture the Dreaming Empire resulted in the War of the Dreamers, where he was finally defeated after he consumed and destroyed 9 worlds throughout the multiverse as he sought to bring down his sister. In a final confrontation with Skallagrim he was bested and once again imprisoned in the Shroud. The Forgotten melted away in to the dark universe hiding in the shadows waiting for the day Ghoukas is free again.
The Shu’fasa have gone back to their universe still following Ghoukas and Jashta as gods, gathering strength to one day defeat the Dreamers in glorious battle.
Dramatis Personae.
Queen Scathach- the Dreaming Queen and leader of the Xindhi, the most powerful Gothi on the planet and possessor of the Soul Staff who resides in at the Dark Cathedral, a hidden fortress city rumored to hidden among the clouds.
Skallagrim the Cughtagh- he is the Queens champion and the opener of the Nightmare gate as well as its gateman. He possesses one of the three swords of Fate, Onverlich, and resides in the shadowed realms where he keeps watch over the dark paths of fate that weave their way into the world. He is the sworn enemy of Ghoukas.
Prince Autik- he is the younger brother to the Dreaming Queen and a powerful physical specimen. He attempted to over throw his sister during the failed War of Patterns. Defeated, he was spared death and exiled to the Shroud, a realm where the Xindhi is removed from the seidhr, leaving only the galdhr. During his exile in the Shroud he descended into madness. Finally renouncing his seidhr, mastering and developing the galdhr to a degree far suprassing even the most skilled masters. During his madness he adopted the name Ghoukas, Lord of Nightmares and forged the black sword Dust. He commands the Nightmare legions and is feared throughout the Dreaming Mythos. His followers are called the Forgotten and have turned away from the teachings of the seidhr, learning and strengthening their mastery of galdhr.
