All Write, Already!

The dreamscape is full of those who would control you and those who try to stop them. Sure, there are others who are just out for a good time, but they truly are in the minority. It's really surprising, when you get right down to it, just how many dream-masters (as these people call themselves) end up picking one of the two sides: The Guild or The Council.

The sides have existed since before anybody can remember. When men and women first started to have their first dreams, the first dream-masters emerged. It wasn't mere moments afterward that one of them discovered that he could control the sleepers, and another stepped in to try and stop him. The battle has continued to this day.

The Guild is not vying for world domination, that would be too cliche. To be honest, nobody knows what they want. The Guild does what The Guild does. The secret guild masters are always vying for power within, and the operatives are always sowing confusion without. The Guild is always one step ahead on figuring out new ways to abuse the powers given to them.

The Council has one purpose: prevent The Guild from causing any real trouble. It's a full-time job. In fact, the Council has arranged for many of its operatives to be employed to do just that. They sleep and dream for a living. It is, however, a very taxing job. The only thing that keep most Council members going is that they know that they are the last line of defense for the rest of us. They believe their power is a gift, and that it is their responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
