When the Collision came, and the veil between the Mansus and the Histories was torn asunder, the people who dwelled there couldn’t afford themselves to continue pretending the laws and forces of the waking world were the only ones that existed, if they wanted to survive. Mystics, scholars, occultists, and anyone who could provide a resemblance of understanding about the otherwordly forces that now rampaged through the world rose to a prominent place in the societies that remained, and those who were founded anew.
Among these adepts, one who would eventually rise to a position of great renown were the so-called “oneironauts”, rsearchers researchers who laboured to understand not the nature of any single Hour or arcane principle, but that of the Mansus itself and its relationship with the Histories. To that end, they sought to navigate through the House’s paths and Doors, and discover why some acts there seemed to resonate within the Histories.
This arcane knowledge, accumulated since the early days of the Shattered Histories, has made the oneironauts valued community fixtures in many settlements, serving as guides, advisors and public servants in many settlements: instructing people about what Mansus paths are safer to walk upon, and undergoing expeditions to the more dangerous parts on their behalf.
