Dreamer's Breath

Atramenous Cuisine: Extreme Caution

"Look at these whelps, thinking they've proven their strength because they managed to kill a single mewling human! Show me a Denwi that has survived the Dreamer's Breath and I'll show you the real strength of the Barocca Treyu!"

History

In the upper reaches of the desolate Atranameous Sphere is a wide region only known as the Koranthian Waste. Few creatures or plants grow in this blighted region due to some horrible past event. The area is rife with wild eddies of magic and things that ought not to be. Nestled within a small crater like area is a dense, overgrown section of decaying forest. Within these blighted trees grow large eggs. These eggs are known only as Dreamer Eggs.   Before the fall of the Atranameous Savron Sepher, expeditions here were rare. The ritual to make a Barocca Treyu was a select and long considered honor. After the fall of the unfortunate Savron, hordes of Barocca Denwi were sent into the Wastes to retrieve as many as could be found and harvested. Tens of thousands died to the horrors that lived in the Koranthian Waste A debate could be held that those that fell suffered a lesser fate than the survivors. No sooner did they return home with their spoils when they were all forced to take the Dreamer's Challenge. A once proud tradition twisted into an inevitable fate that hung over all Barocca Denwi

This sounds absolutely harrowing! Are the eggs actually fruits or are they eggs or both? A tooltip or a link to "Barocca Treyu" would be helpful for me to figure out what is actually happening here! Thanks for replying to my Discord comment!

They are a type of fruit and a nasty one at that. I'm sorry i haven't made the Barocca Treyu yet as i started a whole new world for SC, but it's basically an elite version of themselves where if they survive the experience of the Dreamer's breath they come out with extra abilities. Speed, strength etc. They are considered to be the ultimate warrior, strong in mind and body. it doesn't help that the survival of the dreamer's challenge isn't very high. Most die and some that don't end up disfigured and broken inside and out.
