Seidr

Goddess of dreams, prophesy, and desires

Dreamweaver

Seidr is the goddess of dreams, desires, and prophesy. She is the guardian of the Dream and works to safeguard the minds of all within her realm as they sleep. Deep within her realm sits the prison of the Chained Twilight, Tharizdun, god of nightmares and madness, whom she opposes as his power seeps through the Dream and his servants attempt to corrupt and twist the visions within, the greatest of which is the dark serpent Nastrond the Mind-eater.

Temples and Shrines
