(as told by the Sapphirians)
Once there was a Creator. She, along with many others of her kind, created worlds, dozens of worlds, filled with creatures. Many of the Creators were happy with their worlds, but Sapphire wasn't. Sapphire had a dream of a perfect world, and she tried, over and over to create this place. But her creations, no matter how she changed them, always ended up as negative as they were positive, as destructive as they were creative.
So Sapphire gave up. She left the Realm of Creation, searching for her home. But she had used up much of her energy in Creation over eternity, that she flagged. In between Creation and Chaos, Sapphire fell asleep.
And in her sleep, she Dreamed, doing inadvertently what she'd sworn never to do again, for a Creator does not Dream as a creation does. A creator cannot simply fall into sleep and rest in Oblivion.
Her mind, free of inhibitions and worries, created parts of her, throughout a shifting world that changed to suit her Dream. The first to be Created were the Sapphirians. Having just fallen into sleep, the Sapphirians were reflections of Herself. After them the world swiftly fell into being. And like every other world, it fell into war with itself.
Sapphirians puzzled over this long and hard. If they all came from the same beings dreaming mind, how could they fight? But even for a creation, one's mind is always at war with one's self, and for a being so much more complex, this must be even more true. Cities rose and fell, but Sapphira only grew in strength, and beside it, other forces became prevalent. Night's Haven became a Metropolis, just within the Forest of Ebonare, for Shifters and outcasts to live in safety, the traveling Shifter Halumnar made a home for himself and his crew on the Cove's of the Sea of Oblivion, and it soon became a land rife with thieves and merchants where you could find anything, if one was willing to brave the ever dangerous ports.
Eventually, the land stopped shifting. Things became easier to document, label, name. Places stayed the same and creatures grew to live in certain areas. It was then that the Gates of Starlight were discovered.
And with it the first Dreamer.
No one knows what to make of Dreamers. Weak, with barely the ability to stand on their own, they are merely...humans. And yet, within each one lies the ability to create a completely new species, or place. Only one each and yet...the possibilities are endless. Once they've made their creation (who's eyes always reflect that of the one who made them), the Dreamer often fades into nothing, returning their energy to the Dream.
Dreamers became famous, as new places appeared within the Dream. The Sapphirians loved and worshiped them. No Dreamer ever remembered where they had come from, or who they had been. It was when a Dreamer fell in love with a blood sucker, that a discovery was made: Dreamers could be turned.
While there were occasional hybrids between the species, Darlenya Eboness was the first Dreamer to be Changed. She became, in all senses of the word, a Life Feeder of the Ebonare, and lived out her remaining years amongst the villages. Later, Harley Storm became the first Dreamer to turn Shifter, and in Sapphira, the first Dreamer to be turned into a Priestess, Ellen Starlight, saved the Priestess who'd fed on her blood from being stoned to death for feeding on another.
Dreamers arrive with greater frequency, but there is something happening within the highest regions of the Titans Grave. The Dragon Shifters, the greatest and most terrifying beings in the Dream stir, and some have made forages into other parts of the Dream, and what they fly over, and raise with their bloody flame is changed forever. A dream is spreading amongst the people of Sapphira, and its Priestesses whisper in their sleep that the Nightmare is coming.
