 ==God of Dreams==
-The God of Dreams is often referred to as a King, with the Spire his palace. Kyrikain presides over a realm often considered to be its own reality, with countless lifeforms within that can be shaped and altered to his will. With the Adac omnipotent within this plane, his commanding grip from within the Spire is nearly incomprehensible even to the greatest of spirits. As he gladly admits, Kyrikain enjoys this absolute authority; this ability to command and dictate things around him, and his importance as a sort of Warden to the planes that border one another.

 To those fortunate enough to encounter the God on the upside, unforgettable experiences often follow. Not one for subtlety, the Dreamer allows for his full creative breadth to span the realm surrounding him, enveloping others in stories and adventures that will often either keep them exhilarated throughout, or will provide them with logical or moral challenges not easily overcome. Kyrikain views dreams, and nightmares, as tools in developing the mind. As useful as philosophy is the touch of raw emotion, often ignored in the waking world. Within Reverie, he forces others to come to grips with who they are, and what they want, and what they could be.

 The Abstract Realm is sometimes called Kyrikain's personal dominion, but as all of Reverie is, it is more accurate to classify it as his inner sanctum. The Abstract Realm is the foundation of the Dream, and of the Nightmare, acting as the axis that Reverie forms around; it provides Reverie what few boundaries it has, keeping it distinct from the chaos of the reality around it. It is, also, Kyrikain's personal dream. Rather than a cool mechanical construct, or an artifact of divine power, the Abstract Realm is funded by the sheer arcane might of Kyrikain's Dream: a limitless supply of immensely volatile ether, crafting and dismantling reality endlessly.
-The Abstract Realm physically manifests as the basement of Kyrikain's Spire, but it appears to undercut all of Reverie, as a sort of ravaging madness lurking beneath the surface of the entire realm. This is the case regardless of whether one is standing on the Upside of Reverie or the Downside, the Realm providing the means for both dreams and nightmares.

This is the case regardless of whether one is standing on the Upside of Reverie or the Downside, the Realm providing the means for both dreams and nightmares.
 And, unfortunately, the Abstract Realm has seen great disruption since the Bleeding. As the foundation of Reverie, the destabilizing effect of the cataclysmic event struck the Abstract Realm's edges at first, but with more and more cracks seeping into the boundary. While gaping holes allowing corruptive ether to funnel into Reverie are quickly closed, the cracks remain regardless of how many times they are sealed -- and the vulnerabilities left by them open more and more frequently, allowing for the dangerous influx of this ether into Reverie to occur increasingly often. It is for this reason that the Ameslari were formed, as even Kyrikain and his Draedan are not able to stem the tide alone.

-Of all of Kyrikain's earliest dreams, many of them were nightmares. For a long time after his own formation into existence, Kyrikain's dreaming was the origin point of great disruption for his peers, who felt his terrors leak into their thoughts as they slept. His mind was a vortex of repopulating constructs imagined only for devastation, and whensoever his mind crawled towards pain and uncertainty, his kin would be whipped with the backlash that came. Kyrikain was viewed as nearly inapproachable for a long time, a force of nature with no bounds to cling to. Something that could never be truly understood.

 Kyrikain, of all the Gods, has perhaps the most children and descendants due to the many amorous affairs he has with members of the mortal races. Unlike other Gods, Kyrikain feels that he ''needs'' Draedan as allies, and so he does not refrain from proliferating his bloodline. Kyrikain's descendants are varied; some take after his dream-like qualities, some follow after the influence he holds on mortal minds, and some take on Nightmarish traits that often ostracize them from the world around them. Whatever the case, Kyrikain reaches out to those he feels may be able to help Reverie -- and himself.
-===Kahan===
+===Emrik===
-Kahan was a gift bequeathed by Kyrikain to one of his first mortal lovers, a man by the name of Varal. Of course, as time passed and Varal died, parentage of the immortal Draedan fell to Kyrikain himself - an obligation he was proud to fulfill, as the two have always been exceptionally close. Kahan is the leader of the Ameslari, called 'Deoch Daire' by the Order, translating roughly to 'Prince of Dreams'. Though this name was originally coined by Elves thousands of years ago, it remains a common moniker for the Demigod. He is Kyrikain's most powerful Draedan and is by far the longest lived, born to one of the first humans in the Age of Lost Time.

-Kahan's mind is always present in the deeper recesses of Reverie, though it is uncertain to most what he does in his wanderings. On Atharen, the awakened Draedan's physical body has seemingly disappeared into the Straits of Adena, where with the most powerful of Ameslari he tries ceaselessly to mend the rifts caused by the Bleeding. It is only by his father's intervention that the Draedan and his allies can survive this quest, and even then they must often leave to be expunged of corruption. Many of them - including Kahan himself - have gone mad in the past, entering violent delusions and bouts of illness whose impressions have never left them.

Kahan appears not to forget those close to him, or even simply passing faces, though at times he laments the scars this has left upon his mind.
