Speaking of future visions

[youandyoualone]

Does anyone know of a dark-skinned and horned people in any of the Jaunt worlds we have been to? As Messire Kuzunoha did the night previous, I too have had another prophetic nightmare, such as we had in Harrogate.

'Twas of a battle near a shadowed volcano--and then it changed quite suddenly to the dark, horned person lying on a rocky floor, somewhere in which the light was much better.

Nightmares are just another kind of dream. They wouldn't have to be able to get to Questing Country to be present - their victims would create an echo of them every time they closed their eyes.

[capital_asset]

True.

[Ari had certainly had enough of them - and he'd gotten off lightly in comparison to many, many others.]

[youandyoualone]

And should they have enough victims, those echoes might very well aggregate into something more solid. That could account for things.

[amadine]

Just so. There are entire lands within Questing Country populated by the collective nightmares of a people, from the monsters in the dark to the manifestations of societal unease. I expect the diabolin fill at least one.

[youandyoualone]

And we are likely to encounter one.

[amadine]

We've dealt with worse. Still, it would be a good time to brush up on psychic defenses, little as they might help those of us who find ourselves in someone else's skin.

[youandyoualone]

I surely will.

[He can at least do the first level of them. Might not be a bad idea to learn the second.]
