**Abstainer** · Dreams, nightmares, prophecy · *Symbol: a closed eye beneath a veil*
Vael'Shara is the goddess of dreams, nightmares and prophecy. She refused to help make the world, saying that a waking world would only ever be a smaller copy of the ones she could dream. Her realm is the Veiled Reach, where every sleeper goes for a few hours each night.
Her faith is **[[2-World/Groups/The Sleepers' Communion.md|the Sleepers' Communion]]**: oracles, dream-readers and seers who interpret visions for a fee. Most towns tolerate them uneasily. Their predictions are too often right to dismiss, and too often terrible to welcome.
## Appearance
- **Apparent age:** Ageless; she has no age
- **Body type:** A vast, shapeless mass floating in the dark, never fully seen at once
- **Hair:** No hair; drifting tendrils like ink in water
- **Skin:** A glistening black-violet membrane with an oily shimmer
- **Clothing:** None; only veils of mist and half-remembered dreams
- **Colour palette:** Violet, black, sickly pale green
- **Mood:** Alien, distant, all-knowing
- **How divine they look:** Fully monstrous; nothing human about her
- **Signature feature:** Hundreds of eyes all over her body, opening and closing at different times, and one huge closed eye at her centre that opens only to prophesy
- **Associated setting:** A dark void filled with floating dreams and drifting pages
