The Beliefs of the Order

"The Order of the Sable Moon is an enlightened FreeSoul House. In this light, we believe that the waking world has no direct effect on the Dream (and vice versa), however some indirect effect is possible and clearly seen through the thoughts and emotions that we carry between our waking bodies and Dreaming Avatars.

We do not understand the dread nightmares, but know them to be a great disturbance in the Dream. We seek knowledge of them, that we might discover the means by which we can destroy them, enslave them, remove them from the Dream, or end their threat through non-violent means. We do not claim to know which of these options will be the final solution, but believe that through our efforts we may oneday make that determination. In order to further these efforts, we collapse nightmares and imprison their essences. Since we are not a house of SoulMasters (who may learn the art of 'imprison nightmare'), we utilize the artifact forged by the Dreamsmith Cybele, the Sable Sphere, as our forefathers did before us, to imprison the essences of the nightmares for further study."
