- lore
- Nianteres are spoken of only in passing, as stories told to children right before bed or a muttered comment when one cannot sleep. They are said to be small sheep, capable of flying through the keyhole of a locked bedroom door or window, who collect the dreams of sleepers. These dreams are used to form a beautiful pearl, they say it takes thousands of dreams to create one of these fine pearls. The pearls are made up of all the passing thoughts one may conjure up into their sleeping minds. There are those who will spend their lifetime hunting down these rare pearls, believing them to hold the key to a peaceful life, to revenge, to eternal life.
Little is known about the Nianteres. Some say they are very small and are like pixies, others have said they’ve seen the long-tailed figures hiding amongst the flocks of sheep, believing them to be the same size as sheep themselves. Some say they can slip through walls like ghosts, others believe they have the ability to unlock any door or window that they wish. A lot of mystery remains with these nocturnal creatures.
Among the Niantere kind, there is a gathering of them called the Hauntings. These Niantere are the most skilled at stealing away nightmares from sleepers, but because of this their appearances tend to be more frightening and unnatural. However, many are not cruel or horrid creatures, many Hauntings are actually friendly and wish nothing but the best for those around them. Hauntings are commonly born on the darkest of nights or during the times when sleepers are more likely to have nightmares.
