DREAMTREADER’S CREED, CONCEPTUS 9

The Dream is a vast triangle of territory, divided into three districts: Forms, Pattern, and Verse.

You will find that each of the three districts is in constant motion, prone to great changes and mysteries. But you shall also find features that endure for so long that generations of Dreamtreaders will find them ages after you are gone.

Forms, the most vigorous District, is the largest span of the three. The markets of Kurdan have always been and will always be. Direton is always dangerous, and Number 6 Rue de la Morte seems to weather even the worst of storms.

Pattern is the most static of the three. Change comes there little. Only the experienced Dreamtreader should dare to shepherd this place, for there are ancient things there: ancient and dangerous. Tread not lightly the moors of Archaia within Pattern. There the mist gathers, so beware.

Verse is the most beautiful of the three, vast and changing, stunning to behold and often deadly. It is said that in view only, that Verse is what leaves the Waking Mind craving the Ethereal Realm, and perhaps that is so. If true, then Verse is also the Waking Mind’s thorn, reminding the dreamer with painful clarity that he is yet far from the Ethereal.
