Quori
he realms of dreaming are not safe. The
dreamscapes of the sleeping are fertile ground
for the parasitic ministrations of the quori,
psychic symbiotes that live in the space
between dreams. There are worse fates than
‘merely becoming food that await a dreamer
that ears the ire of the Dreaming Dark,
however: plunged into endless nightmare or mental
imprisonment asa disposable tool ofits new passenger.
Quort Lore
Arcana DC 15: Quori are capable of taking control of an
unconscious creature's body, though certain willing creatures
can entera trance-like state that allow them to invite and act
as vessels for the quori while conscious.
History DC 15: Those acting under the quori’s control
become passengers within their own body, able to perceive
and understand their surroundings while unable to take even
the smallest action of their own volition
Nature DC 15: The quori are malign outsiders from the
plane of dreams, normally unable or unwilling to manifest
within the material plane without a host.
Nature DC 20: Quori enter the dreams of sleeping mortals
to feed upon their emotions, though such visits can also be
‘made with the intent to surveil or even attempt to possess the
creature, ifthe quori has need of a mortal vessel
Nature DC 25: New quori can be born only from the spirits
of fallen ones. As sich, quori society is quick to execute those
suspected of working against the will of the Dreaming Dark,
eager to replace them with more loyal quori.
Religion DC 20: Not even divinely inspired or prophetic
dreams are safeguarded against incursions ofthe quori,
though a certain measure of security is granted by obscurity,
as there are a great many more dreamers than there are:
‘quori spies. This is thought to be a reason why prophecies
and visions are often granted to those without prior power or
influence, rather than those best able o act upon them.
