Background: Talangran Dreamweaver

In the mystic elven nation of Talangran, the Dreamweavers are a revered caste of scholars and mystics. They are the guardians of the Dreamgroves, ethereal forests steeped in potent magic and home to rare, dream-born flora. Dreamweavers understand the secrets of these mystical plants, using their unique properties to brew potent elixirs and invoke powerful dream-visions.

With a deep connection to the natural world and the arcane alike, Dreamweavers are well-respected for their wisdom and their unique abilities to navigate and interpret the dreamscape. Your time in the Dreamgroves has not only attuned you to the subtle energies of the dream realm, but also given you a deep understanding of the potent herbs found within.
