Weaver of Nightmares

Dāggon the Horrible is the weaver of nightmares. Although Dāggon appears in a variety of forms, he is referred to as male. Unlike the Aspects of other gods, the Aspects of Sūdul reportedly rampage freely among mortals, doing as they wish. Jarjàða spends an inordinate amount of time undoing the damage done by Dāggon, who does the reverse, stirring otherwise peaceful slumbers into harrowing experiences that leave mortals shaking and sweating in their beds.

Why worship Dāggon? Most followers of Dāggon are not evil, and would be insulted by the very idea that their deity is. The mainstream worship of Dāggon is a search for answers within the mysteries and folds of the unknown. The Dagàri are seen as the keepers of knowledge, knowledge that the mortal Yrūn are not prepared to know. The corrupting power of that knowledge has warped and disfigured the noble Dagàri, who despite this terrible cost, continue to guard mortal minds from these abominable truths. Worshipers of Dāggon claim to be shielded from the nightmares that plague the rest of humanity. This may be the position of the majority of Dāggon’s followers, but others embrace the horrible aspect as the destroyer of good, an entropic force seeking to return all creation to its original untainted state, of Chaos. Dāggon and his minions respond positively to both positions.

The cohorts of Dāggon are called the Dāgàryr. Few descriptions of the Dāgàryr match for these monsters of The Dream of Sūdul are shapeless creatures who adapt body parts as needed, mostly it appears to throw fear and loathing into the hearts of Mortal dreamers. Though reports of the Dāgàri vary widely, common elements of the monsters include roving eyes, slobbering maws, and long toothed tentacles that flay the flesh from the bones of the dreaming wayward. Like all denizens of The Dream though, the Dāgàri are masters of shapeshifting and can appear as innocent as a newborn before revealing their vile nature. Regardless of what form the Dagàri assume however, they are unable to communicate in any tongue but Dreamspeak, and their own snarling slobbering language (if in fact it is). Prayers or pleas to Dāggon are often answered by the Dāgàryr.
