 They shun the contact of fey and waking beings alike and simply are, though there are rare occasions of these beings making deals with the [[lore:races|waking races]] in exchange for power. Otherwise, these beings simply exist, wandering and watching over the dreaming and waking worlds.
+Only the power of an Old Dreamt can manipulate the [[settings:planes:dreaming#the_sea_of_dreams|Sea of Dreams,]] and with its power they gain the power to spread their influence and affect reality. However, not even the Old Dreamt can escape the fate of all fey who harness the power of the Sea of Dreams, as they are slowly and surely destroyed by its power before they are reborn in a new consciousness.
 Some notable Old Dreamt include:
-  * **The Carrion King.** An ancient [[settings:cahyali|Cahyalian]] Dreamt of the Oxian Nanchon associated with rot and decay. Stories surrounding him
+  * **Blue-Moon.** One of the first Dreamt, taking the form of a literal blue moon hanging full and low in the sky. They were associated with art and memory, and once desired to capture everyone and everything in their art pieces... forever, in the name of preserving them. They have since been reborn in the Sea of Dreams. Blue-Moon originates from Dearmad Agrad, but has no Court affiliation.
+  * **The Carrion King.** An ancient Cahyalian Dreamt of the [[settings:cahyali#the_oxis_alliance|Oxian]] Nanchon associated with rot and decay. Stories surrounding him paint him as an amoral being, veering malevolent. He is known to lure and kidnap errant children, and sends curses of pestilence and spoiled milk to those who cross him. He took the form of a deeply tanned man with long hair, adorned with wooden antlers, mushrooms, and lichen growing over his simple robes.
+  * **Hyrsam, Who Henceforth Shall Take The Name Melog.** A trickster from the Autumn Court, appearing as a calico cat with moving spots, as they hide and shirk their duties to the court. They enjoy making pacts with mortals, delight in playing tricks and pranks, and are known to cause jovial chaos.
+  * **Tise-Swa.** Also referred to with the title of Baron, this Dreamt originates from the [[settings:cahyali#the_heartlands|Heartlands]] Nanchon. Best known as an aspect of the god [[gods:almar|Almar,]] this being is widely thought to have once been an Old Dreamt associated with cleverness and trickery. He takes many forms, and is best known for having run a risky gambit with multiple gods, ultimately resulting in his ascension to the heavens.
 ===== Types of Dreamt =====

+==== Djinn ====
+The Djinn originate from the Nanchon of the [[settings:cahyali#the_sublime_veld|Sublime Veld.]] They also, on occasion, associate with the Summer Court. Some debate exists as to whether they are elementals or Dreamt, as each Djinn has strong affiliations with one or more of the four arcane elements. They are known to live in both the Dreaming and the [[settings:planes#thee_elemental_planes|Elemental Planes.]] In the past, powerful mages were able to summon Djinn to their aid in battle.
