The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother
The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother are the name of the Followers of the Dreamers who operate in the Crystal Mother's Forest. They are worshippers of the Demon Goddess who seek to rouse her from her slumber in exchange for power. Almost all of the Dreamers of the Crystal Mother suffer from the ailment known as Dream Fever, but they have sworn themselves to the cult to learn how to use this affliction to gain the power of the Dreamer.
Structure
The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother tend to operate with rather cell-based structures. Each cult is led by their own cult leader. When the cells gather, there is usually a quick determination of hierarchies of where each leader stands before the Crystal Mother.
Culture
The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother are hated in the Roselands, ever since the Devastation in the Long Night. However, the Roselanders are reluctant to speak too much of the Dreamers to outsiders. While the Queen of Rose has divulged some information regarding them to the Empress, she knows that if the Empress considered it to be a problem out of control, she would not hesitate to annex the Roselands, as she did with Scarmouth.
Public Agenda
The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother seek to awaken the demon god.
Assets
While the Dreamers must stay hidden lest they be killed by the Roselanders, it is not uncommon for members of Nobility who lack the talent for sorcery to pretend as if they have it using the power of the Dream. The asset of the Cult is that they could be anyone.
History
The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother are the successors to the cults that served her in the Days of Blood and Shadow. Sometime during the Long Night, the Dreamers of the Crystal Mother nearly succeeded in freeing their goddess, but they were stopped by the newly founded Knights of Steel and Sigil. Ever since then, they have had to contend with the knights, and now the Immortal Vigil as well, as they continue to attempt their goals of releasing their patron.
Granted Divine Powers
The followers of the Crystal Mother are often granted powers of the Dreaming and the Nightmare.
Political Influence & Intrigue
The Dreamers of the Crystal Mother make both a convenient scapegoat for the nobility of the Roselands, but also a constant threat, especially when Dream Fever starts to spread through the Roselands. With the increasing power of the Empress, the presence of the cult also presents a difficulty for the nobility. They must not make it seem as though the Cult is a problem or they risk drawing the Empress's eyes towards them.
