Storyteller

A storyteller, sometimes called a dream warden or fate master, is a creature of the Collective Conscious that roams the Dreamscape. A storyteller prefers to merely observe a dreamer, but may intervene against unnatural threats to the Dreamscape.

Lore Keeper. A storyteller observes the dreams of a dreamer and records it within the Collective Conscious. It will alter the dream to uncover the dreamer’s story in order to accurately record its deeds and knowledge.

Guiding Spirit. When a creature worthy of interest to the multiverse is at a crossroad, unsure what path to take, a storyteller will alter its dreams to offer guidance on the paths available.

Eternal Watcher. A storyteller is a chronicler and as such prefers to never directly intervene in the story other creatures weave. If encountered by a dream actor, a storyteller will be honest but evasive, never revealing truths that could change the course the dreamer is upon. This detachment is sometimes forgone if another creature is attempting to twist the dreams of the dreamer to alter the natural course of fate. A storyteller will aid dreamers when confronted with a creature such as a dreamstalker or night hag, but a storyteller is not well equipped to defeat such creatures alone.
