There were 15 Master Dreamwrights who set out to create Mount Ilapse.They created the first 10 areas, a week of pure concentration for each area. They were proud of their work, as they should be, so each had an area named after them. As you walk up and around Mt Ilapse, you can see their legacy left behind. They created the Camp of Kings and their paused for a rest to regain their energies. There were 5 others yet in the group who had nothing named after themselves. During the creation of the last area, Mirdinir, who was the youngest and very tired, miscalculated while the vast energies were surrounding them. He lost control and was swept away into the Chaos. The others were tired as well and losing one of their own was devastating to them, work on the Mount was now at an end. It would be centuries before anyone ventured up Mount Ilapse to create once again.
During this time period, the very first duel betwen Dreamers took place. Reminar of Faraway, and Trinxan the Illuminated, both having different views of the state of the Dream, had dueled in the Amphitheater of Sphere. Soon after open warfare developed through the Dream. During this time of war, Markosh discovered how to create the item generators we now have, then placed them throughout the Dream. Dreamstrike, the Ultimate Death, was now being created in an attempt to bring peace to the Dream City. The Dreamstrike Masters came in and put an end to all the warfare. During this time of forced peace, work once again began on the Mountain, and the great House Dreamers of Light.
It was decided at this time, to extend the Mount, to allow access to Gloom Peaks, and Cairn of Sorrow. Forgotten Pits had been created first, so named because Mount Ilapse had been forgotten for so long. Solitude Pits was next, allowing access to the Forgotten Grotto, and Gloom Peaks. Tirath's Pits was created next, to allows access to Padeas Pit and from there Cairn of Sorrow. Two months were spent on the designing and the creating of the Keep. The Sanctuary wasn't created till the Nightmare wars, and a short time later two Ambuscades, one on eaither side of the keep were made for added protection. The Vault was added for storage items. Over two years were spent on the design and creation of the House, Dreamers of Light.
The Houses of the dream, including Dreamers of Light, were created as a stronghold, due to divisions of Illuminated and Freesoul. This was during the Dreamer Wars. After the Dreamstrike Masters entered the fray and slowed it to almost a halt, the House was fortified.
During the Nightmare wars, roving patrols had been started to try and slow down the threat. This allowed further construction of our house, and the Maze underneath was added. The portals were developed during this time and the dream was segmented. During this time, the Forgotton Grotto and Padeas Pit became part of the Mountain, and Gloom peaks, and Cairn of Sorrow were moved one room further from the Mount. Over the next decade the Houses became divided once again. Instead of being concerned of the Dreams affect of the waking world, the mares were now to be considered. Some, like House Calenture thought it would be better to banish the essences, while others knew that imprisoning was the proper way. The houses are still divided into 8 different schools of thought today. |
