A quick explanation for a new quest, called the Great Dream Quests. On
the month of Vestian, nine Manifesations of the Dreaming appear, one on
the ethereal, one on the elemental plane of water, one on the elemental
plane of earth, and six on the astral plane. Giving the sand they drop
to an elemental lord or nature aspect will empower them. This means any
essence gathered will increase its ability to power a nexus by +1 so
long as that elemental or nature aspect is alive. Killing an empowered
nature entity does not remove the empowerment, as it will come back
empowered, though it will temporarily remove the +1 from essence
gathering while it is dead. You cannot give more than one sand to any
single entity. For example, as each city and commune has 4 such entities
that can be empowered by the dreaming, if all 4 are empowered, essence
gathered to the nexus will give 5 power to that nexus, If 3 are
empowered then the essence will give 4 power, etc. Again, the
Manifesations "go into play" (in a manner of speaking) during the month
of Vestian.

Because of the opening of dreamweaving to the Geomancers, Aquamancers
and Hartstone which saw the Manifestations appear on their respective
planes, we are also releasing the 6 aspects on the astral plane early.
