Seas of Dream
The Seas of Dream are Stable Points in the Near Dreaming corresponding to the oceans of the Earth.
Overview
The Near Dreaming has oceans, just as the waking world has oceans. While they reflect the placement of the mundane seas, the Seas of Dream are collective wonders unto themselves. Somewhere in the depths of the oceans, Atlantis still rests and the merfolk make their homes. Great leviathans sleep here, waiting until the proper time to make their presence known and dreaming dreams beyond even Kithain comprehension. Cities float beneath the waves, some still thriving, some long abandoned, all waiting to reveal their secrets to any curious and brave enough to explore them.
Somewhere beyond the Seas of Dream there are other lands, all with secrets and wonder of their own. Perhaps they are only a few days away. Perhaps the trip would take a millennia. In the end, there's only one way to find out.
There are trods in the Seas of Dream. They glisten as faint trails where the sea is always calmer and the winds are not as harsh. Although they are not as visible as the Silver Path, they are still noticeable to experienced sailors of the Seas of Dream. As with other trods, these water-bound paths protect changelings wise enough to follow them. Even the greatest waves can't harm a ship that runs along the Silver Path. As with other trods, carelessness almost always leads to disaster. In the Seas of Dream, great spans of ocean surrender themselves to the Otherwhere.
