Many a man has been plagued by the Nightmare, the darkest seed that enroots itself within the dreams of those who sleep, spoils and rots them to there core, and turns the dream into a medium for the victim's truest fears. Men, waking up in balls of sweat. Women, screaming in their sleep. Children, haunted for days of the monsters that hunt them at night. They are all false. Nightmares once walked the earth as you and I do, free to grasp at people's darkest, most honest fears, and lay them out for all to see, just to make the Shadows laugh.
