Vow of Morpheus
Developed by:
Dr. Emil Zahne
--The Moon will dance thrice in the sky before long. Without me, she will caress your sleep and bring you the gifts of dementia. I will give you insight – but you must not speak of the gifts I give. Give me the power to cleanse your mind, and I shall leave your secrets be.
--I can see the nightmares in your sleep. The hidden poisons of the fae could take root in your mind. Give your dreams to me now, and I will show you clarity beyond the shattered mirror.
Invocation: 1 WP
Pledge: Vow
Insanity runs rampant among the Lost. Without vigilant guardians, the depredations of the Fae and the Fetch can wreak havoc in a Changeling’s dreams. With the Vow of Morpheus, another Lost must enter the dreams of the Changeling. The Vow of Morpheus grants the Oneiromancer with exceptional skill (Adroitness in either Empathy or Occult), but demands absolute secrecy about the knowledge of slumber (Oneiromancer must keep everything within the dreams secret, upon pain of losing the 10-again rule). The Changeling must enter sleep immediately upon taking this oath; there is a great deal of work to be done. As a benefit of this cleansing, the Changeling gains the benefits of the Common Sense merit. However, the Changeling is also forbidden from speaking of what happens in his dreams. To bring the dream out of the mind would be to dishonor the pact.
Every (5 plus Changeling’s Clarity) days, the Onerimancer must again examine the Changeling’s dreams. Failure to do so is violation of this vow.
