Plain Doll Dialogue
Hello, good hunter. I am a doll, here in this dream to look after you.
…
Did you speak with Gehrman? He was a hunter long, long ago, but now serves only to advise them. He is obscure, unseen in the dreaming world. Still, he stays here, in this dream… such is his purpose…
…
Ahh, the little ones, inhabitants of the dream… They find hunters like yourself, worship, and serve them. Speak words they do not, but still, aren't they sweet?
…
Over time, countless hunters have visited this dream. The graves here stand in their memory. It all seems so long ago now…
…
Good hunter, you have come… Dawn will soon break… This night, and this dream, will end. Gehrman awaits you, at the foot of the great tree. Go on, good hunter…
Messenger's Gift
A strange gift from the messengers, inhabitants of the dream
who revere the brave hunters.
Use to envelop oneself in a black nightmarish mist, then
transform into a messenger. The illusion is a parlour trick,
and any large movement will break the spell.
To preserve the guise, proceed very slowly.
Notebook
Messengers are inhabitants of the dream who revere the
brave hunters. Use them to send messages to other worlds.
Leave notes with messengers, read the notes left to
messengers in other worlds, and rate notes to reach out to
hunters across planes of existence.
Hunter's Mark
Dangling, upside-down rune etched in one's mind.
Symbol of a hunter.
By focusing one's thoughts on this rune, a hunter loses all
Blood Echoes, but awakens afresh, as if it were all just a bad dream.
Third Umbilical Cord (1.00)
One of the heirlooms used to contact the Great Ones,
originating in the child of the Vilebloods.
Long ago, in an encounter with the Great Ones,
a contract was established, establishing the hunters
and the Hunter's Dream.
Third Umbilical Cord (1.01+)
A great relic, also known as the Cord of the Eye. Every
infant Great One has this precursor to the umbilical cord.
Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a
surrogate. The Third Umbilical Cord precipitated the
encounter with the pale moon, which beckoned the hunters
and conceived the hunter's dream
Use to gain Insight and, so they say, eyes on the inside,
although no one remembers what that truly entails.
Blood Gem Workshop Tool
A misplaced workshop tool from the Hunter's Dream.
The hunter who retrieves this can fortify weapons by
kneading blood gems into them.
Blood gems add properties to weapons when used to fortify
them, as blood defines an organism.
