Everything

When the Triat was young and the universe was still whole, these Banes served to create the world, working as servants of both the Weaver and the Wyld. What exists now is but a faint echo of the power these dark spirits once represented, the power to shape an entire universe at the whims of their masters. They still serve today, but the masters they serve are somewhat different than the ones they were created to please.

Background

What better way to win converts than to give them what they want? Dream Makers have always been around, although their names have varied. By whatever title they choose, these Banes exist to corrupt the bitter and the angry, granting them their desires and aiding their quest for achieving power. There are complications, of course. The Dream Makers are bound outside of Gaia’s Realm, forbidden by their very nature to enter the physical plane unless invited in. These Banes are very powerful and capable of incredible malice, though they can only act on the desires of humans. Once a “master” is chosen, the Dream Makers act to fulfill their every whim, but all the while they have their own agenda. Each one works to wheedle a special wish from its ruler, a wish for the permission to Materialize in the Gaian Realm. If the remaining Dream Makers are ever freed, the power they still wield would be great enough to cause incredible disasters. There are ancient legends among the Garou which state that these very Banes are destined to destroy all that they created.

Storytelling Notes: These are bad Banes to encounter, at least if you aren’t their master. A Dream Maker is the traditional djinn, the demon who grants every wish, no matter how petty. They cannot accomplish anything without their chosen master’s wishes, which is what has stopped them from destroying everything. Each is bound to a master until that master dies or is foolish enough to wish them into the Gaia Realm — a feat that has not yet been accomplished, though several have come dangerously close before being stopped. The Dream Makers are capable of virtually anything, though some requests might take a great deal of time to accomplish. Most terrible of

all, they choose masters they know are capable of almost anything: the morally dead and the emotionally warped.
