A creation of Created, a Shattering, a psychic, collective diaspora of discarded and unused raw potential, the Aspects of the Dreamform are the Nine Under Nine, each tethered to its parent not in servitude, but in Substance. Each creature preexisting subsumed some Essence of divinity, yet remained wholly tethered still to their self. Each according to their nature thus clad themselves with the cloak of a Dreamer, and became an Aspect.

Eodria, the Crimson Virtue. A planetar angel that serves as the herald of
Xelin, Eodria's light shines upon those that show their true self to be spineless, wicked, or covered in sin.
Thadriel, the Thread of Hope. A solar angel most notable for the deliverance of Evanthia Duskfire and the Breaking of the Great Glass Wall, Thadriel is a powerful force for all that is good and just and right.
Zepheriah, the Wind that Carries. A djinni with a strong sense of independence, Zepheriah travels from place to place inspiring change for the better in those he meets.
Saath, the Judgement. A celestial archon, Saath is concerned with keeping law and order throughout all the rings of existence.
The Oracle of Haze. An elemental created by
Enos as the Aspects came into being, the Oracle of Haze is a central figure to the balance of the system.
Eireisone, the Glittering Deep. A pandemonic ancient crystal dragon, Eireisone shuns the politics of her gem kin in favor of pursuing her own interests, which change by the day.
Chilitract, the Sanguine Horror. An ascended vampire that has shaped the course of history to its twisted whims, Chilitract is thought to be the progenitor of vampirism, and among the oldest creatures to still walk Enos.
The Blightingale, the Darkened Lullaby. A somnidaemon with a particular appetite for the young and impressionable, The Blightingale was a terror even before being mantled with the Dreamer's Burden.
Aramoth, the Desire Made Flesh. A daemagoth titan of considerable portfolio, Aramoth seeks to twist the will of mortals towards darkness and lawless chaos.
Panoptica
An accidental Happening, the Panoptica are those mortals capable of accessing the Dreamform directly. Traversing the Dreamform can take a mortal mind past the point of breaking, for it is a place of boundless possibility shared by those that slumber. Nevertheless, the Aspects of the Dreamform often seek to curry favor with the Panoptica, as these mortals are able to divine mass information from slumbering cities and create reality from remembered dreams.
Panoptica can share and manipulate the dreams of others, including those races which do not dream, as the Dreamform itself is but a shared lattice of leftover consciousness spread now between the Created and their attached Aspects. Each Panoptica eventually settles into a preferred Aspect's domain, but all of them may influence dreams in the manner of any Aspect, showing themselves or the other they share the dream with potential realities should the subject embrace the expression granted by the currently governing Aspect.
A nascent Panoptica may awaken strange dreams in those they are near, influencing them directly, even if unintentional. Through their links to the Aspects, Panoptica may influence the dreams around those Aspects towards that of the Aspect's nature, even if the Panoptica and Aspect are entire planes apart. Settling into their role is a process that varies greatly in time, as it is a matter mostly of will.
A Panoptica's power is often generational, and no more than nine of them may exist at any point. Many shield themselves from the sight of the divine, and each is unique in the sort of power they learn. All are able to walk in dreams, all are able to seer through the Dreamform and influence the dreams and unconscious thought of others.
