04 / CONSTRUCT BEASTS

Some fears have teeth.

In the Etherealms, what a dreamer carries into sleep can take on a life of its own. These images are creature concepts, not complete case files.

THE DREAMER COMES FIRST

A nightmare is not
just a monster.

Memory, fear, and association can take shape in a Dream Thread. A Construct might threaten, guard, repeat, or conceal something; the same image can mean different things to different dreamers.

Threadkeepers cannot simply fight their way to an answer. They have to listen to the person whose dream they entered.

THREADKEEPER PRINCIPLE 01

Not every nightmare is the enemy.

Fear can protect as well as threaten. Understanding the dreamer’s relationship to a Construct often changes what happens next. Some stories belong to the dreamers themselves and remain untold here.
