Dreamlands

The Dreamlands are a set of locations in Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, accessed through rest.

Description
The Dreamlands are not bound to any one location. Rather, they constitute an entire realm. The realm of dreams to be precise. Thus, the Dreamlands can only be entered through rest while the character is asleep. The Dreamlands provide a parallel setting to reality. Seemingly any location that can be dreamt, or which the character has visited while awake, can be traversed in the Dreamlands. By comparison to the waking world, the Dreamlands are gloomy in nature, like a half-forgotten memory. Folks may find themselves wrapped in darkness where before there was light, unable to interact with their environment as they had once thought possible.

Available Locations

 * The Old Eel House / Riverside / Main Street
 * The opening of Stygian is set in the Dreamlands, at which time the player character must follow the Dismal Man from the attic of The Old Eel House to the gates of Miskatonic University
 * Pilgrim's Parish
 * The character can visit the Dreamlands just outside of Randolph Carter's House while in search of Carter himself
 * Thalarion
 * Unlike other visits to the Dreamlands, Thalarion is one of two fully-fledged dreamworld locations the character can visit, conceived and existant solely in the Dreamlands. It cannot be visited in the real world

There is a final Dreamlands location that the character can visit at the invitation of the Dreaming Baroness. It is perhaps the most quintessential Dreamlands appointment since it has no physical boundaries to speak of. Instead, it appears as a cosmic void that, in theory, is only limited by the dreamer's imagination. This void acts as the meeting grounds where the character has the opportunity to consult directly with the Dreaming Baroness for the first and only time.


 * This location will only be available to the character if they have started the quest Meet Me in Dreams
