Nightmare Realm

The Nightmare Realm is a godly realm ruled over by Artume, God of Nightmares. It is the place where all nightmares occur, and is also the location of the Nightmare Palace and the Nightmare’s Heart.

The realm is mostly uninhabited, with a red fog filling the air, dark red grass and black trees without leaves fill the landscape, with the occasional small river. If one wanders for long in the realm’s plains, one will encounter small dirt paths, lit by lamp posts with red flames inside. These paths lead to the City of the Nightmare Kin, also known as the Crimson City.

This city is filled with strange buildings, made from black metal and lit by red flames. Its inhabitants, the Nightmare Kin, live in its houses, and regularly feast and party in them. Atop a mountain near the city, sits the Nightmare Palace, residence of the Nightmare’s Heart.

The Palace is the residence of Artume and its Court, and is where it spends most of its time.

The Realm itself is sustained by the Nightmare’s Heart, which means that Artume cannot be away from the palace from too long, as it would cause damage to the realm.

The only ways to enter the dimension properly is either through a ritual performed by a Priest of the Cult of Artume or by being brought into it by a Nightmare Kin.
