Sepulchre of Twilight
Devotees of the Matron of Dreams
The Twilight Sepulchre is a secretive and mystical order devoted to Twilight, the Matron of Dreams, revered as the goddess of Night and Dreams. She is the guardian of the Weave, an ethereal realm where dreams and nightmares intertwine, forming a tenuous bridge between mortal souls and divine beings. The Sepulchre’s followers, primarily Dark Aelfes but open to dream-seekers of all races, view the night not as a time of rest but as a sacred passageway into the mysteries of the dream world.
Doctrine and Beliefs
The Twilight Sepulchre teaches that every dream is a thread in the Weave, a cosmic tapestry spun by Twilight’s spectral Dreamweavers—celestial spiders who imbue mortal visions with divine meaning. These threads form a vast network, ensuring the gods’ messages reach their intended recipients. To the Sepulchre, the Weave is not merely a tool for communication but a reservoir of ancient power, where the boundaries between reality and the ethereal dissolve.
The night sky, with its glowing aurora of drifting dreams, is seen as Twilight’s living signature. Each flicker represents a thread of mortal thought ascending to her domain, a visible reminder of her influence over both the tangible and the ethereal.
Rituals and Practices
The Sepulchre values balance above all, reflecting their goddess’s impartiality. Twilight does not align with good or evil, nor does she favor light over darkness. For this reason, her followers view dreams and nightmares as equally essential parts of the cosmic whole.
Rituals often involve inducing controlled dreaming to navigate the Weave, seeking divine insight, or unraveling cryptic visions sent by the gods. The Sepulchre’s members have honed the art of dream interpretation, serving as intermediaries for those seeking clarity through the veil of night.
Twilight’s Neutrality
Twilight’s neutrality sets her apart among the divine. She acts as a conduit for all gods, allowing their messages to traverse the Weave and reach their followers, regardless of alignment or intent. This unique role reinforces the Sepulchre’s belief in the sanctity of dreams and nightmares alike, as both are seen as vital expressions of the divine will.
