The current imperial regime has delved into ancient and sacred ground. Raiding long forgotten tombs and plundering sacred chambers in search of relics. This delving unearthed and broke the seals on various hidden chambers throughout the land. Chambers that house strange individuals. Individuals alive millennia ago during the time of the planar conquest. These individuals come from a now ancient society who possessed the ability to harness the power of dreams. These dreams foresaw calamity in the coming days and believed their civilization would be wiped out. A plan was devised for some to survive. Time passes differently in dreams, and the ancients sought to use that fact to free themselves from the flow of time. Suspended between reality and dreams, sealed deep underground, they could live in a state of perpetual slumber for as long as necessary and outlast the disaster that would wipe out the rest of their kind. The plan worked, but living for so long within the dream-world had unforeseen consequences. Upon waking, the dreamers found that they could no longer differentiate between the dreams they had experienced and memories, with both fading quickly from their minds. The result was the emergence of a new race with no knowledge of their own history, only half-formed images and dream-like impressions of a place and time that may or may not have existed. Now the dreamers struggle to adapt in a world that seems like a waking nightmare. Whatever their history, they have proven to be quick-witted and strong, able to learn new tasks and execute them well. Their long slumber has left them strangely energized and able to work with almost legendary endurance. Even so, sleep is where the dreamers still feel most at home, and they have a habit of quickly dozing off whenever no immediate task presents itself.
