Sometimes they can look outward, discovering the truth of things in the world and even the future. Oun is the caretaker of this powerful force, a being with a wispy form and strange words. He is a patient, caring yet aloof deity.[^1](https://www.worldanvil.com/w/verum-arcadum/a/oun-article) # Prominent followers - [Alyla Aurora](Alyla%20Aurora.md/) from _[Silent Knights](Silent%20Knights.md/)_ - [Nox](Nox.md/) from _[Silent Knights](Silent%20Knights.md/)_ # History ### Ascension to Godhood From season 2, session 11 of _[Shattered Crowns](Shattered%20Crowns.md/)_: > [Oun](Oun.md): When the first dream was had, there were two pieces; courage and cowardness. Courage was ambition. Courage was bright with light. And cowardness was caution and it was dark, foreboding. It is from these two pieces, that it is said, Lord Death forged, well, everything. At least in the dream, in a motion and spirit. My brother and I were those two things. I was made from courage, and he from cowardness. (...) And it is within those shadows that the first dream was made. I suppose you might say that the first dreams were crafted (...) by these creatures and my brother and I were amongst them. And then as the crafting continued, some got better and some got worse. Those that were worse, they receded into the dream and became figments of other things; eventually being born into the waking realm. My brother and I, however, were amongst the best, not the best, mind you, but amongst them. And as time went on, others sought our instruction. And more and more sought our instruction until finally we became what we were - the Lords of the Dream. > > [Wode](Wode.md): There was no election. There was no process. One day we simply were. So my brother and I took our places to rule the dream and to keep balance between ourselves. > > [Oun](Oun.md): For every dream holds ambition, and wish, and desire. > > [Wode](Wode.md): And every dream holds caution, and wisedom to temper that desire. > > [Oun](Oun.md): And so we are the brothers, Oun and Wode. But we were once shrouds. # Worshipers - Traveler's - Inn Keepers - Sages - Dreamers # Religious Views - Dreams - Succor - Subtlety - Travel (Shared)
