WARNINGS ISSUED AFTER RUMORS OF MANSION RESURFACE
By: Porter
Rumors are circulating around the dream world of a mysterious mansion that is set to come back next week.
There are stories of the mansion itself, ranging from the plot of land it’s on, to the rooms inside of it, and a mysterious owner. “Everyone knows you shouldn’t trespass onto the mansion,” said a local tour guide, “There’s plenty of dimensions you shouldn’t go into, and this one should be one of them.”
Interestingly, the Council of the dream world has not declared this dimension to be forbidden, despite the tales of many who are curious enough to venture into it, and come back with bizarre stories. “Yes, I have my own story of when I ventured into the mansion with Lucid,” Nate said, “In fact, it’s kind of unfortunate, but Almoral is not to be messed with. He is a very peculiar individual, but can also be dangerous.”
According to records, Almoral is a necromancer and the owner of the mansion as well. Almoral is known in the dream world to bring back the dead, talk to spirits, among other strange uses of magic. Almoral was also one of the known infamous figures who tried opening a portal to the real world- which is highly prohibited and punishable.
“Almoral has been trying to open a portal to the real world for a long time now, but has always been unsuccessful. I just wish he would stick to his weird magic spells instead of trying to potentially alter the real and dream worlds!” Nate said, “I haven’t been back there since my last visit. It still angers me…”
The mansion is set to arrive next week, and visitors are highly advised to not trespass onto the property as Almoral is unpredictable and it could not end well for those trespassing.
DIMENSIONS PREPARE FOR HALLOWEEN
By: Oswald
Construction has been spotted in some dimensions ahead of halloween.
Crates, pumpkins, and construction tools have been seen where many have become excited to know it’s almost halloween.
“I love halloween! It’s a very cool holiday that humans made and I just love dressing up!” said a local traveller. “Halloween is a lot of fun. I prefer going around Trick-or-Treating and getting candy. Free candy too!” said another traveller.
Some dimensions get a bit of a makeover when holidays come around, and some of these makeovers are quite dramatic. “It’s very interesting to see how some dimensions change their look depending on the season. While it is the same dimension, it looks completely different! Take the Hallway Dimension for example. While you may know it for it’s pretty purple hue, during the halloween season, it completely changes look! It all depends on human recollection, so it might sound confusing, but don’t worry! It is the same old dimension you know.” Nate says.
Besides construction, a few more seasonal dimensions pop up as well, prompting more visits to those as compared to other dimensions. “Holidays are fun in the dream world with the dimensions that pop up, but take your time! While these dimensions may be temporary, you have time to visit them all. No rush!” Nate said.
Construction will continue through the rest of the week. Travellers should expect to see more workers than normal trying to get things prepared in time.
Q/A: Ask Nate
Dear Nate, can and how do you summon demons like Lucid for example?
By: Al. Larom
Hi Al! Hmm, well, yes you can. As you know, I am a demon myself! Well, a dream demon, but still a demon nonetheless! Lucid is a dream demon as well, as you know, but summoning demons depends on the demon itself.
Some demons require certain conditions to be met for a successful summon. Most of these can be found in old scriptures that were written long ago by mysterious sorcerers and the like. I would say how to summon me, but, I can’t reveal that information due to DPF protocols, haha. You might know that some demons might require salt, special boards, maybe even a drop of blood for summoning. It really depends on who you’re dealing with.
As for Lucid, well, I can’t say either! Actually, the scripture written for Lucid’s summoning appears to have been lost. Sure, there are theories of how to summon him, and there are also those who claim to know, but no one has been successful! Only Lucid himself knows how to, and I don’t think he would spill the beans on his conditions to summon. All I know is that many have tried to summon Lucid, but failed. I think there have been close attempts, but something is always missing.
So to recap, yes, you can summon demons! However, it truly depends on the demon you’re dealing with. You’d probably want to look for demonic scriptures in the library if you’re looking for a specific demon, but you won’t find any DPF members in there, much less Lucid’s scripture. Keep in mind that some demons don’t like being disturbed, so...I would stay away from all that!
Dear Nate, are there cliques or groups in the dream world?
By: Lue Kinforfrenz
Hey Lue! The dream world has many types of groups that are formed by individuals, and each for a different cause. The Dimension Protection Force is the biggest and most well-known of them all; the DPF ensures peace across dimensions and the dream world, as you know, so you’re likely to stumble across members.
There are other cliques like the pirates who go around trying to find treasures like artifacts around the dream world. They are notoriously defensive, but wouldn’t exactly cause a full blown invasion or revolt. Some cliques like the wisdom clique have members who are very wise and smart; they often go about looking for new books to read and places to study. If you ever need help with any question or advice, you’d go to them!
There are also organizations, both known and secret, that inhabit the dream world. These organizations often require some form of initiation to join them; the DPF, for example, requires years of rigorous training before they admit you in. Most organizations are quite passive, and don’t normally look for trouble. Remember, the DPF is the head organization that keeps the dream world in check. If there is any rumor or announcement of a possible revolt, endangerment, or imminent collapse of a dimension, they set out members to try and tackle the problem before it happens. The dream world has been peaceful because of the DPF, and to another extent, the Council as well. The Council oversees all with it’s seven members who make the top decisions of the dream world, who also work along with the DPF, so there’s never really been times of revolt in the dream world.
I’m sure if you look around and talk to others, you might find a clique you can become a part of! Never be shy to look for new groups who take similar interests as you because you might end up becoming a better person if you surround yourself with those who think alike!
