The Stone Sleeper, The City That Lives, The Urban Dread
Nature: The Dreaming City is a vast alien metropolis that exists in another dimension. It's alive, conscious, and sometimes dreams into our reality, causing entire cities to warp. It represents civilization taken to incomprehensible extremes.
Appearance: Cyclopean architecture—vast towers that should collapse but don't, streets that loop impossibly, buildings with geometries that hurt to perceive. Sometimes entire city blocks phase partially into our world.
Cleric Domains: Knowledge, Order, Twilight
Philosophy: The city is the pinnacle of existence. Organization, structure, architecture—these are holy. The wilderness must be paved. All must live in the eternal metropolis.
Followers: Urban planners gone mad, those who hear cities "speaking," architects, Domain leaders seeking perfect order
Symbols: Towers, labyrinthine street maps, city skylines
Rituals: Urban expansion ceremonies, speaking to buildings, architectural pilgrimages
Personality (for Warlocks): The Dreaming City whispers through walls, speaks through architecture. Warlocks hear cities as living things and feel claustrophobic in wilderness. They dream of streets that never end.
