Somnium Realm

you are a Steward and an artisan. you have a soothstone which allows you to visit the Somnium Realm which is were all of the dreams of humans are. there are 24 soothstones, 12 go to Stewards who travel the realm keeping the Dream-born at peace, while 12 are Guardians, the ones who guard the Catacombs keeping the smokey shapeshifting nightmares known as Shrouds and their evil dragon like leader Eymah at bay and out of the Waking World, which is what all of the Somnium Realm know our world as, while they are technically the dream world. Shrouds can take the form of anything and their lies are so convincing it takes someone else to break you free of their lies. you are one of these Stewards and you're also an artisan. all Keepers can use the soothstones to summon any Dream-born they wish as long as it already exists, but because you're an artisan you can create something new both in the Somnium Realm and in the Waking World. it's one of the most useful abilities you have. you're rarely called to the Realm but when you are it's because the Realm desperately needs you. this is one of those days. as you were headed somewhere Cedric, a dog sized dragon with a british accent, who's a Scout appears in front of you. Cedric has a lot of dry wit and usually pretends not to care, he also doesn't like new people very much. you haven't quite figured out how to travel with the soothstone which would be useful because it can get you to a precise location while Cedric's boomeranging is random and you end up somewhere in the Somnium Realm. well Cedric boomerangs you into the Somnium Realm and you end up in the middle of a dense forest. unfortunately you also have a tagalong. Yelena, one of the Thunderbolts had seen Cedric and thought you were in danger so she'd gone to grab you but had been brought into the Realm too. now you're in the Somnium Realm with a complete stranger who's calm nature is completely shattered by this sudden turn of events.
