|Nature and Influence=Awenlas is not a being in the conventional sense—it has no single form, no singular voice. It is an endless, shifting presence, appearing differently to every being that interacts with it.

* The Abyssal Aspect – The realm of doubt, fear, and nightmares. Awenlas is not only the source of dreams but also the inescapable depth of uncertainty. It is the whisper of paranoia in the dark, the formless shapes lurking in the corner of one’s mind, the terror of unfinished thoughts. Those who become lost in its abyss may descend into madness, unable to distinguish creation from illusion. | * The Abyssal Aspect – The realm of doubt, fear, and nightmares.
