PREFACE


his history is the result of an Experience Task completed for Kudzoo. It would be foolish to attempt to form a complete history of the dream, that would be an impossible task; so I have not attempted to do so:)

The second part of this volume, the Appendix of Artifact & Special Talisman Histories, is the result of an Identify task completed for Nziri.

I would like to thank all those who generously contributed their time and stories for this project: Valourin, Tux, Machiavelli, Watcher, Nziri, Ambi, Erasmus, Ghazgkull, Flash333, Sabriana, Isun, Luinitari, Ravageone, Boggen, Belg, Atomino, Thunberg, Riatha, Munchkin, Jantoc, Ayesh, Elektra, Brother Timothy, Kellergeister, RavenXR, Patro, Bear Crusher, Samarina, Hrrum, Nidus and Gray Mouser. I have editied these stories only slightly for ease of reading, attempting to preserve the original perspectives.

I'd also like to add an additional thank you to The Kestrel, Kard, Haleth Dagore; Lissa and Sanctus for their previous histories.

The further this history grows, the more I sigh realizing how many stories I do not have. I have decided to release this book and continue to add histories to it as I come accross them.

Perhaps this history will put the dream in context for new dreamers, and perhaps provide a fresh perspective for seasoned dreamers. Perhaps these stories can spark creativity and spawn future histories. Dear reader, I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I have enjoyed hearing them.

The web materials used for this history are from The Alphabet Connection, Free Graphics and Webpaper, and some of my own creation. The picture from the day of Yog-Ka's execution at the Bridge of memories has been submitted by Haleth Dagore. The pictures from Yog-Ka's murder trial and Trok'ter were reprinted with permission by Sabrina of Cloudsbreaking News. The Pictures from Ariana's capture and Tehthu were taken by Manido of Dream Traveller, and as I have not been able to get ahold of Manido, I have taken a risk with reprinting them. (If you see this Andy, please send me a note). Thank you Selika for the picture of Epoth in chapter 43, and to Tipsy for all pictures on chapter 46.
