Dream Mistress

Jarjàða the Dream Mistress visits mortals in the night, pulling threads of memory from days past, and sprinkling dust from others’ lives into the mix. She is represented as a luminous moth leaving a helical contrail of silver dust in her wake. The Cult of Jarjàða is large in the Dreamlands, specifically Jædð. Many view her as a deity of good fortune, a distinction probably more appropriate for Zalan or her aspects.

Why worship Jarjàða? Jarjàða promises intervention against the forces of Dāggon, a very real threat in the Dreamlands. Many have encountered Daggon’s minions in their dreams, or when the dreaming winds (see Blooms) blow through the villages and cities each spring (and summer and fall). Others believe that Jarjàða brings good luck, and that the faithful may find good fortune on the winds that blow from the dark jungles of the Dreamlands. Whichever reason people cling to, the worship of Jarjàða is a cult of hope, promise, and safety.

The minions of Jarjàða are called the Jarjað. Some have reported that the Jargað appear as elegant and beautiful ethereal winged-swordmaidens, while others (a much smaller number) have recalled ferocious demons with fiery eyes, razor-like teeth and rending claws emerging from within the guise of a beautiful figure. It is common that male Yrūn often perceive the Jargað as scantily clad women while females see them as handsome, well-muscled men. No matter what form the Jargað take, their eyes always appear a mirroring silver. Prayers to Jarjàð are often answered by Jargað.
