The King of Dreams




The King of Dreams was an obscure warlock who, like many others, had suffered at the hands of the Paladin knights. But unlike most alchemists and warlocks who fought the Paladins using conventional means, such as swords and black magic, Vlad (The King of Dreams) made the dream world his favorite battleground. He had the power to conjure such nightmares that left grown people shaking, afraid to fall asleep. By invading their dreams, Vlad would drive them insane or rob them of sleep and rest, forcing them to end their own life.
Like Oberon and many others, The King of Dreams met his end at the blade of a paladin sword, too.
Legend has it that whenever he walked the dream world, he wore a mask inscribed with magical runes and symbols. The paladins made sure to bury him along with the cursed mask...the mask of The King of Dreams. The location of his grave has always been a closely guarded secret.
