Dreamland

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

The mage may freely visit one or more locations in the Dreamtime. These Astral locations arise from the psychic resonance associated with a place. Some Dreamspeakers say that the Dreamborn came to rest in such places, and that Dreamlands are the echoes of the Dreamborn’s own fitful dreams. Others say that ancestors won these places from the Dreamborn at the dawn of time, or that they merely arose after millennia of rites and initiations in the sacred place. Dreamspeakers can know multiple Dreamlands. Each one represents one Merit dot. A character does not require this Merit to reach a Dreamland, but he cannot access its wisdom without first purchasing this Merit.

Each Dreamland contains one dot of Library ^[1]. This usually doesn’t represent Astral books and scrolls, but visions of wise ancestors and Dreamborn who are willing to share their knowledge. This lore can often reveal histories — both mundane and supernatural — of the region that are otherwise unrecorded in any book or living memory.

Drawbacks

Dreamlands are at least 20 miles apart from one another. Each Dreamland’s physical location also has one essential feature that, if destroyed or changed (by construction or landscaping, for example), cuts off access to the Dreamland until the problem is repaired.
