"AND IN THE HUSH OF THE NINTH HOUR CAME Somnora, the Veil of Night, whose mantle is woven of stars and whose breath brings sleep to kings and beggars alike. She walks the hidden paths between waking and wonder, and in her shadow bloom the dreams of men. Her voice is the hush before the storm, the lullaby of eternity, and she binds the restless with visions both divine and dreadful. For in her dominion, the soul is laid bare, and truth is whispered in riddles." Nehzahr

Overview

Somnora drifts through the folds of night, her form shrouded in shadow and starlight. She speaks in dreams, in symbols, in the quiet just before sleep takes hold. Neither kind nor cruel, she shows mortals what they most need to see - or what they fear they already
know. She is the boundary between rest and revelation, a guide through the strange landscapes of the soul.

General Information

The daughter of Eldros, who was created to oversee the realm of dreams. Originally, Eldros attempted to manage both the waking and dreaming worlds, but the unpredictable nature of dreams made it difficult for him to maintain balance. Realising that he could not effectively govern both realms, he birthed Somnora to take charge of the sleeping world while he focused on the waking one.

Though little else is known about her, Somnora exists to ensure that the dream world remains stable, separate from the structured reality that Eldros maintains. Her creation signifies a division of responsibilities among the gods, ensuring that both realms—waking and dreaming—are properly maintained.

Mythos & Legends

Somnora, goddess of Dreams, Sleep, Secrets, Illusion, and the Unconscious, walks the unseen paths between waking and oblivion. Born from the will of Eldros to tend what lies beyond mortal awareness, she was shaped from silence, starlight, and the breath between
thoughts. While her father maintains balance in the waking world, Somnora guards the realm of slumberwhere memories drift, truths hide, and the soul wanders free.

She did not come into the world with sound or fury, but with a sigh that blanketed the world in its first true sleep. From that stillness, her domain blossomed: a boundless dreamscape where time flows strangely and thoughts take form. Somnora weaves illusions and visions through the minds of mortals, offering comfort, insight, or sometimes, subtle warnings.

One of the oldest myths tells of the Night of the Silver Silence, when a mad wizard, obsessed with uncovering forbidden knowledge, breached the veil between waking
and dreaming. Twisting his own soul into a vessel of nightmare, he sought to corrupt the dreams of all who slept, reshaping the world through their minds. Somnora met him not with wrath, but with quiet resolve. Cloaked in moonlight, she sealed him within the deepest recess of the dreamscape, banishing his corruption. It is said she left part of herself behind in the prison, a fragment of her essence watching eternally to ensure he never stirs again.

Somnora is also the keeper of hidden truths. Her dreams come as riddles- visions filled with meaning only the wise or willing can decipher. Seers and oracles seek her whispers, yet she never speaks plainly. She offers glimpses, symbols, and shifting stars- truths that
must be chased through shadows.

Rarely worshipped in grand temples, Somnora is instead honored in intimate rituals: a token placed beneath a pillow, a lullaby sung to a restless child, a whispered plea to guard the soul through the dark. Her gifts are subtle- an untroubled sleep, a forgotten memory returned, or a dream that changes the course of a life.

To know Somnora is to walk the threshold between what is and what might be. She is the stillness before waking, the echo behind the dream, and the soft, unseen hand that shields the mind when all else fades.

Worship & Rituals

The Night OF Veils

Held on the longest night of the year, this silent festival honours Somnora through masked processions and lantern-lit walks. Offerings of sleep-poppies and whispered secrets are left at her shrines, and dreams had on this night are believed to carry hidden truths.

The Mirror Dreaming

Priests guide dreamers through this ritual by placing a silver mirror and bowl of water beside them as they sleep. Anointed with lavender oil, the dreamer is believed to receive Somnora's guidance, sometimes reflected faintly in the mirror by morning.

The Whispering Hour

At midnight, followers whisper thoughts, questions, or fears into the quiet before sleep. It is believed Somnora hears these and answers through dreams, her messages wrapped in symbols and subtle visions.

Artifacts & Relics
