Tesselin

The Astral Dream is a plane that requires the utmost care and attention. Of the two deities who preside over such a nebulous domain, Tesselin grants dreamers access to pleasant visions of their innermost desires. This insight allows people to realize their innermost potential, although it doesn't detail how long and arduous such a road to realize that potential will be. Much to the concern of Tesselin, many people have dropped their standings in life to follow these dreams only to come out with nothing to show for it.
Despite this, Tesselin is considered one of the kinder and more generous of the gods of Balance, who are generally known for their neutrality and priority to the well being of nature. A lesser known facet of Tesselin's work is his relations with the variety of were-beasts that exist on Yakon. Were-beasts are products of Sura and the Nightmare, an infection that seeps through people's most vivid nightmares and makes those terrors a reality. Tesselin does his best to aid the victims of Sura when he can, granting them their humanity for extended periods of time - but Tesselin's power is occasionally waned by his rival and it is then when the true horrors are released.
