Question Time! Lore.
Added 2019-07-06 16:11:29 +0000 UTCCouchcon is in full swing. A trio of panels today, and tomorrow, a Dreamkeepers Lore Q&A. So if you have Dreamkeepers lore questions, ask in the comments here! I'll be answering during our stream tomorrow (Via Twitch.) (Couchcon panel schedule here.)
As for the map above- it's the lineart for our expanded Dreamworld map. Anduruna itself is 140 miles in diameter. You can see it, if you squint! This map spans over 2,600 miles, to give an idea of the scope.
Thank you to the MVP voters who allowed us to get this worldbuilding work in, it's helped clarify a few finer points on later story stuff for me. Excited to get it colored!

That is a really good map! I wish I made maps with that level of detail. And by the way, it looks like the area was made due to some explosions. really big explosions.

2019-07-07 21:03:17 +0000 UTCHow did Serapis get into the Dreamworld since she is responsible for the invasion? Same thing for Arazu, was he always a nightmare? How did he get in?
Synariel
2019-07-07 20:58:10 +0000 UTCWas Void in charge for the whole nightmare war? Was he always the supreme chief or did he share power?
Synariel
2019-07-07 20:56:06 +0000 UTCDoes Tinsel raise awareness for breast cancer? Could be a good way to justify her new stain.

Synariel
2019-07-07 20:48:16 +0000 UTCSo, Nabonidus was a master runesmith but since they don't work for nightmares does that mean Nabby was a dreamkeeper?
Synariel
2019-07-07 20:38:09 +0000 UTCWhat's the population of the Dreamworld? Doesn't seem near as much as their human counterpart.
Synariel

Synariel
2019-07-07 20:35:19 +0000 UTCAny plan on publishing an atlas of the Dreamworld? That would be an awesome book and perhaps sate your thirst for magnificent backgrounds.
Synariel
2019-07-07 20:33:19 +0000 UTCSo Serapis was a nightmare for all her life? Was nab a nightmare as well?
Synariel
2019-07-07 20:31:21 +0000 UTCHow long did the nightmare wars last? A handful of years or did they spread out across multiple generations with ups and down?

AnomolousHat

Benjamin Varner
2019-07-06 18:13:13 +0000 UTCWhat are the ships like in Anduruna? Gruun's seems to be wooden with sails but we've seen the interior of a pretty modern ship that's run aground in the early pages of Prelude.

Benjamin Varner
2019-07-06 17:49:49 +0000 UTCSo, we've seen powers manifest in a number of ways, but most of them included light shows and can be apparent to some kind of mystical energy disappearing after its use. Apart from Tinsel, do any powers affect the actual biology of the user? Like transformations, limbs or muscles growth or give them an ability based on biology? Any rule to power design?
