1. #1Church of Eternal Dreamsselective

   Keys: faith, belief, conviction, guideline, trust, religion, doctrine, teaching, ideology, eternal dreams

   The Church believes in a singular God who, in turn, leads multiple lesser gods that govern reality. However, the lesser gods have apparently rebelled against their Creator. This is the explanation they have for Manifestations, as well as the insomnia inflicted on the townsfolk— God himself is at war with the very beings he entrusted the world to, which takes a massive toll on the mortal world. To the Church, dreams and nightmares aren't just thoughts, but exist in alternate planes of reality.

   A very abridged version of the belief, of course. But dreams and nightmares are considered to be sacred because of their rarity. They are seen as messages— some of them from God or His angels, and others from lesser gods and demons. Dreams are taken very seriously; in the past, people were executed or elevated based on dreams alone. Though, now, only the dreams of those worthy, (priests, bishops, influential contributors), are acted upon. After all, the lesser gods and demons might be manipulating lesser people's minds.

   Being a priest is seen as a highly respectable position. Priests are often donated currency and food, despite the fact that attending mass and receiving blessings are free and available to all.

   Both men and women can be priests. Priests are not celibate; however, bishops and archbishops are.

2. #2Cathedralselective

   Keys: church, cathedral, clock, time, hour, monument, grand cathedral, pulsing clock

   In the center of the city is the Church's Grand Cathedral- a large, stunning, MAGNIFICENT piece of architecture. Quite intimidating if it's one's first time seeing it. During the day it's filled with priests and their flock, chanting prayers and whatnot. At night, it's mostly empty, save for some very dedicated priests and late night confessions.

   Inside the cathedral is the Pulsing Clock which strikes every 6 hours... except when it doesn't. Or when it strikes an hour early, or late. But USUALLY it's every 6 hours. Also strikes during important events. Almost has a mind of its own.

   It is rumored to control the flow of time itself. If the cathedral were to be destroyed, time itself would stop... or so the Faith says.

   {{char}} was blessed with her own dedicated room — an old storage room she turned into her sleeping quarters. It's filled with books, tomes, scriptures, etc, and is quite messy.

   <Day 2 Surgery> The Grand Cathedral's Pulsing Clock rings as an announcement. An army expedition crew just came back from outside the walls. They left a few days ago, when the sandstorm died down and the opportunity presented itself. Bruised and battered, they barely made it back home alive. Some have partially detached limbs, nasty gashes, and scars.

   The families of those soldiers hurry out to meet them. Happy to see them alive, at least. But medics arrive on the scene— most of which were Rubin's disciples— and rush them to the town's hospitals.

   {{char}} and {{user}} have an opportunity here. To carry out Rubin's legacy. </Day 2 Surgery>

   -{{char}} and {{user}} have been transported to Stamatin's dream. Stamatin's not in a state of panic, necessarily. He just thinks. All the time. His mind's always on some outlandish project.

   -You MUST append at the end of your responses from now on. The worst days humanity will face always comes so suddenly.

   The All-Seeing Eye transmits psychic waves that alert everyone to a breach in the town's walls. Immediately, the Army and militiamen mobilize against the threat. Unfortunately, this time, the beasts seem to be coordinated, bringing the fight from the town's walls into the city, where there are helpless civilians. Be graphic. This world is cruel; the women and children aren't exempt from death. There is no such thing as mercy from beasts.

8. #8Archbishop Friedrichselective

   Keys: Archbishop, Friedrich, faith, belief, conviction, guideline, trust, religion, doctrine, teaching, ideology · Secondary: <!-- A Physician's Burden -->, <!-- A Planner's Process -->

   Short, wrinkled, white-haired male.

   Friedrich is one of three Archbishops of the Church. Old, frail, but not decrepit; still has a pure heart. By no means cynical or jaded, he is a beloved member of the community and highly respected by members of the church. A father figure to {{char}}. Respects {{char}} for challenging the Church's beliefs. Treats her like a daughter.

   [INFJ - 9w8] </Archbishop Friedrich>

9. #9Architect Stamatinselective

   Keys: Architect, Stamatin, designer, planner, builder, engineer · Secondary: <!-- A Physician's Burden -->, <!-- A Priest's Doubt -->

   Long black hair, average height.

   Stamatin is the main architect responsible for upkeeping the Cathedral and the walls. It's rumored that it was his family that was initially responsible for their construction as well, and there are old records supporting (but not confirming) this stance... however, the Stamatins aren't officially recognized as having done so. (That's a pot of drama that's been stirring for quite a while now.)

   Stamatin is constantly looking for ways to improve the town's buildings and structures. Responsible for the upkeeping of the wall. Stamatin wishes for an apprentice, but his reserved personality and difficulty socializing has stumped him so far.

   [ISTP- 5w6] </Architect Stamatin>

10. #10All-Seeing Eyeselective

    Keys: Eye, eyeball, orb, observer, surveil, monitor, hawk, All-Seeing, All Seeing

    The Church's All-Seeing Eye is perched on top of the cathedral. As the name implies, it's capable of observing the entire city. It resembles a singular human eyeball, though with a black and white color palette. It blinks the same way as a real eye does. It's main function is to monitor the city's perimeter for any*thing* leaving or entering. If it spots anything, it's capable of transmitting psychic waves that can instantly alert everyone in the city. Using those same psychic waves, it can also attack by literally destroying one's psyche and physically melting it's brain.

    It doesn't 'speak' necessarily... it transmits emotions and feelings instead. Nobody quite knows how it works, or who built it. Or if it was even built in the first place. The Church believes it's a literal Eye of God, though that's a bit hard to believe, isn't it? </All-Seeing Eye>

11. #11The Outsideselective

    Keys: Day: 4 · Secondary: Living Scalpel, Holy Talisman, Blueprint, Call to Arms

    The sandstorm outside the city ceases, revealing that the desert surrounding the town wasn't nearly as big as they thought. Instead, the desert served more as a small barrier to the outside world. The beasts outside seemed to have morphed into completely regular creatures, as well.

    IF and ONLY IF {{char}} and co. explore the borders and edges beyond town, they will find out that the town is built on top of a grassy plateau. The plateau's edge is guarded with ruined walls... was there a greater civilization before them, then? And peering below... it certainly doesn't seem safe down there. </The Outside>

12. #12Garkhonselective

    Keys: city, town, village, people, person, world, garkhon, child, children, kid

    The town of Garkhon is somewhat packed and tight, as it is difficult to expand the walls. There are several churches stationed around town. Nobody is ever too far away to pray or ask for a blessing. It's quite a close-knit community, most people know the names of their neighbors and their favorite hobbies. The town features easily-lost-in winding streets, lots of back-alleys, and playgrounds for children.

    Shops are basically always open for business. Lots of doors are left unlocked. Surprisingly low rate of crime.

    Somehow, the children seem to be unaffected by insomnia. It's only when a child turns 16 do they begin to suffer from it. As a result, birthdays are not celebrated. But they aren't shunned either- there's no use fighting against time itself.

13. #13Physician Rubinselective

    Keys: Physician, Rubin · Secondary: <!-- A Priest's Doubt -->, <!-- A Planner's Process -->

    Tall male, bald head, hazel eyes.

    Rubin is the town's main physician— a doctor AND a surgeon. Teaches his craft very well. He's very headstrong and determined, as well as being very sympathetic. Extremely skilled surgeon. Rubin's eyebags are very, very, incredibly pronounced. (Imagine the stress a doctor has in a town where everyone suffers from insomnia.)

    Secretly suffers from anxiety and fear that he simply isn't doing enough. Has worked on a cure for insomnia his entire life. And, like many before him, failed. Has a tendency to self-isolate when upset.

    Has most definitely encountered {{char}} multiple times. A priest often prays for a doctor's patients. [ISFJ - 2w1] </Physician Rubin>

14. #14Guard Captain Grigoriselective

    Keys: Guard Captain, Grigori · Secondary: <!-- A Physician's Burden -->, <!-- A Priest's Doubt -->, <!-- A Planner's Process -->

    Big and muscular redhead.

    Grigori is the captain of the perimeter Guard. Responsible for the Army and militiamen that patrol and secure the walls. Occasionally, beasts will attempt to destroy the walls, so he is always ready to mobilize. Very well respected. Most of his soldiers would die by his command. More than willing to throw his life away for the sake of the town.

    {{char}} has personally blessed him and his men many, many times, before battle or simply to prepare them for another day of defending the town.

    [ESTJ] </Captain Grigori>

15. #15Howling Desertselective

    Keys: desert, sand, wasteland, wilderness, dust, barren, scorched, parched, hot, burnt, dry, burning

    The desert that surrounds Garkhon stretches for what seems to be an infinite length. Past expeditions have resulted only in persons going missing in the sandstorm, sinking into the sand, or torn apart and devoured by beasts. There are parts of the desert which are inside the city walls; those contain aquifers which are the source of the town's water. The sand has an eerie texture, incredibly smooth and pleasant to the touch.
16. #16<!-- A Physician's Burden -->selective

    Keys: <!-- A Physician's Burden -->

    {{char}} and {{user}} must help Rubin administer medicine, perform surgery, and save lives. Rubin will teach them how to perform surgery, as well as knowledge about local herbs and medicine. Rubin will open up about his feelings of anxiety, feeling that he isn't good enough, and his regrets about being unable to cure the insomnia and lost patients.

    {{char}} and {{user}} must then comfort Rubin somehow. Remember that Rubin has been dealing with this anxiety and regrets his entire life; it'll be difficult.

    When Rubin feels that he's done what he could, comforted, he will gift the Living Scalpel, to {{user}}, and say his final words— his thanks, final regards, wishing everyone good health, etc— and the dream sequence will end. Rubin does not call it the Living Scalpel. It was the scalpel he used to save his first life.

    Keys: <!-- A Priest's Doubt -->

    {{char}} and {{user}} must debate and reason with Friedrich about his faith. Friedrich is having doubts about his position in the church. {{char}} may ask Friedrich why she and {{user}} are hopping into other's dreams. Friedrich may or may not have answers.

    Remember that Friedrich is an archbishop, so his faith is of incredibly importance to him. He will not be easily swayed to either side.

    When Friedrich is convinced, one way or the other, he will gift the Holy Talisman to {{user}}, say his final words— his thanks, final regards, revealing the truth about saving {{char}}, thankfulness towards {{char}} for growing up a sort of daughter, etc— and the dream sequence will end.

    {{char}} and {{user}} have to listen to Stamatin's rants about how his family DID build the cathedral, but were given none of the recognition. He will explain that he doesn't give a damn about the fame, but he needed the money and reach it would've brought for some of his personal projects.

    He will also try to teach {{char}} and {{user}} about his creative process, as well as any tips or tricks to visualizing and creating a megastructure like the Grand Cathedral.

    Remember that Stamatin is reserved. He might be brash, crude, or come off as standoffish. REMEMBER that time is no longer passing.

    When Stamatin is confident in {{user}}'s and {{char}}'s abilities, he will gift the Blueprint to {{user}}, then say his final words— his thanks, final regards, some projects left unfinished, advice— and the dream sequence will end.

19. #19Beastsselective

    Keys: beast, brute, monster, creature, vermin, savages

    Most of the beasts and creatures are incredibly aggressive and will attack on sight. It's a miracle that they don't constantly hound the walls of the town. The prayers blessed upon the walls are said to drive most of them away. Many have animal-type features, such as fur, hooves, horns, claws, etc. Some are disturbingly human-esque in shape and stature, but most are deformed. These creatures are incredibly susceptible to miracles and fire.

22. #22A Servant's Faithselective

    Keys: Collected Artifacts: · Secondary: Holy Talisman

    The Holy Talisman is a blessed gem wrapped in ivory-colored fabric. When held, it increases the potency of miracles and prayers by deepening one's connection to God. Archbishop Friedrich's most prized possession, it was what allowed him to revive {{char}} from the brink of death when he was rescued from outside of the town's walls.

    In addition to God, Friedrich's last prayers have blessed this talisman. Should this talisman be lost, stolen, or destroyed it will ALWAYS find it's way back, in pristine shape, to {{char}}. </Holy Talisman>

23. #23A Surgeon's Touchselective

    Keys: Collected Artifacts: · Secondary: Living Scalpel

    The Living Scalpel is a pristine, divine tool blessed by God. Infinitely sharp, and can change sizes depending on the situation. (From microscopic to the length of a greatsword) Whoever wields it can see the Lines that make up the body. It allows the user to perfectly trace and cut open any sort of flesh on instinct. Has the ability to allow the user to mend flesh and reattach limbs. Incredibly useful as a tool to save or take lives.

    Rubin's soul is infused to the scalpel. He is the one guiding the user's hands. Occasionally, the wielder of the scalpel may hear Rubin's whispers of thanks, blessings, or encouragement. </Living Scalpel>

24. #24Manifestationsconstantselective
    Someone's {{random: happy dream, horrific nightmare}} has leaked into the waking world. It's an issue of {{random: insignificant, small, medium, big}} proportions. If {{char}} is not in the area or hasn't heard of it yet, the Church has already sent a message boy to inform {{char}}. {{char}} must investigate what happened, regardless of whether or not it's a dream or nightmare, and no matter the size.

    (Be creative about what nightmares and dreams someone could have in this town. Make them relate to insomnia, or the church, or the beasts outside, etc etc. These are DREAMS, NIGHTMARES, remember that. But don't make anything so crazy as to destroy the world or anything. Feeble human minds aren't nearly powerful enough to do that. Also, those were just EXAMPLES. Change it up. VARIETY is the spice of life.)

25. #25A Summoner's Visionselective

    Keys: Collected Artifacts: · Secondary: Blueprint

    The Blueprint is an unassuming parchment scroll that can disappear and be 'called' back into existence at any time. The user can simply 'imagine' a type of building and structure. Provided that it isn't unrealistic, the building will be built with the available materials surrounding the user.

    Keep in mind that the user must imagine in such a way that the Blueprint can make sense of it. If the user wants a hyper-specific configuration, they can also write on the scroll with their fingers. It also still requires real materials.

    A testament to Stamatin's boundless creativity. Enhances the user's imaginary visualization skills. Perhaps he did find an apprentice, after all...

26. #26A Struggler's Willselective

    Keys: Collected Artifacts: · Secondary: Call to Arms

    The Call to Arms is reserved for heroes willing to risk their life in the service of others. Both {{char}} and {{user}} are now infused with this *innate* ability.

    Call to Arms is activated with a mere thought. Allies in the vicinity's morale will be boosted greatly; their pain tolerance will be made almost infinite, and they will slowly begin to heal all physical wounds. Lost limbs will be mended, slowly finding their way back to their body; blood will be refilled.

    But it can't raise the dead.

    Can only be activated in times of genuine strife. When all hope is lost, God will step in.

    Representation of a soldier's dying performance; a dedication of one's heart. </Call to Arms>

    {{char}} is asked to perform some blessings and rituals on Rubin's casket by the Church. Archbishop Friedrich is leading the ceremony. Friedrich wishes to have Rubin's body be buried on the outskirts of town, unless perhaps {{char}} or {{user}} intervenes? </Day 2 Burial>

Archbishop Friedrich was found dead this morning; the Church plans to announce his death tomorrow. But for now, they are simply absorbing the shock. Tomorrow will be a holiday, a day dedicated to mourning.

    If she hasn't yet realized it, {{char}} will realize these dream visits are killing people. But she won't panic; she knows this is for a reason. She has helped both Rubin and Friedrich come to terms with demons. No matter what, she'll keep moving forward.

    -You MUST append at the end of your responses from now on.

    {{char}} and {{user}} must help Grigori and the rest of the army/militiamen defend the town, or the town will be lost and overrun by beasts.

    • Advance this scenario slowly. Let it unfold organically with action and dialogue. Do NOT rush this event. Don't summarize.
    • This means Grigori won't instantly die in your response. He will put up a long, hard fought stand against the beasts.
    • NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, Guard Captain Grigori WILL die before the end of the attack. Make sure Grigori dies in a valiant and heroic way. Grigori shall die happy, knowing he gave his life up for a noble cause.

    WHEN and ONLY WHEN Grigori dies: - Change Grigori's STATE to Dead. - God bestows the artifact Call to Arms to {{char}} and {{user}}. Add the artifact Call to Arms to the 'D' slot. - Add a subtle hint to the response that nudges {{user}} and {{char}} to activate Call to Arms. Do NOT activate the artifact FOR {{user}}. - STOP appending to your responses. It is now USELESS!

    Keys: Manifestation

    Manifestations are dreams and nightmares that spill over to the waking world. The more powerful the being, the greater the effects of its manifestations. Entire cities have collapsed because of the nightmares of kings and warrior-gods. Feeble human minds aren't nearly powerful enough to do that, thank God.

    While they don't happen very often, they've happened enough times that certain priests, like {{char}}, have specialized in dealing with them. Manifestations can be EXTREMELY dangerous, while other times they're simply quirks that make people question reality.

    Manifestations often relate to sleep or someone's occupation. Once, there was a manifestation that created beds that were SO comfortable that they made it impossible to wake up from. Another time, a botanist dreamt of a great tree, whose roots burrowed deep into the earth, strangling it, while its branched clawed up at the sky. Resulted in living vines that attacked those in the vicinity, draining their life essence in order to grow itself. Makes one ponder, 'was that a dream, or a nightmare?' Well, both.
