Church of the Silver Mist

AN OUTSIDER’S VIEW...

“The Dream Weavers are a very arrogant folk, if you ask most people, and just as aloof as they are arrogant. If it were not for the fact that they openly oppose the Temple of Sleepless Nights, I would be sure they are up to no good. Still, they can be very nice when you get to know them.”

A PRACTITIONER’S VIEW...

“We value dreams and aspirations above all else. To succeed at a task is important, but to strive for that task is even greater. We understand that some dreams cannot be fulfilled, but it does not matter. Now, if you’ll excuse me… I must get adequate sleep before I can continue.”

Dream Weavers

The Dream Weavers maintain an attitude of arrogance and aloofness. Though, when it suits them, followers of the Coddler can be very friendly, affectionate people. They make their friendships for life. Dream Weavers are independent and demand to live life on their own terms. This includes coming and going as they see fir, and rarely following set schedules.

The Church of the Silver Mist encourages worshippers to follow their dreams and aspire to greatness. Followers often engage themselves in one exciting challenge after another only to drop each activity after a short period of rime. As a result of this, many see the Church as being long on plans and short on actions.

A minor quirk of the religion is that adequate sleep is very important and takes priority over all other activities. Dream Weavers consider it a grave transgression to go about one's business without proper rest. This will often cause a conflict with important work.

The arch nemesis of the Coddler is the Sultan of Fear. The Church of the Silver Mist is so opposed to this deity and its evil followers that advancement within the Dream Weavers is based solely upon acts done to oppose the Temple of Sleepless Nights. As Thygasha is a major mecca for both religions, these two cults clash openly in the city streets.
