Jade Icon Saga

The Jade Icon Saga revolved around the Jade Icon, appropriately enough. The Goddess Valnurana placed the four nightmare spirits–Alp, Cur, Dibbuk and Erinyes–within the Icon to protect mortals from their power. The nightmare spirits grew bored over time, and were able to escape when the Icon chipped. When they created a disturbane in the mortal plane, the Obeah Ecstasia sent their cleric Emese to remedy the situation. Eventually the Icon's missing shard was found, and the Icon was made whole once more. Three of the spirits were sealed within, but Erinyes escaped via a diversion caused by the other spirits. Erinyes hid from Emese, she laid in wait until and marshalled her strength. Eventually acting out, she caused a wide array of distrubance within the dream realm, and possessed Ashtan's city tutor, Epicurus. Erinyes then allied with Gelphend, who helped her destroy the prison and free her fellow spirits. Nightmares ran rampant as the spirits revelled in their freedom, but they ceased almost as quickly as they had started; their actions has roused Valnurana from Her slumber, and She swiftly regained control of Her realm. Returning to the side of their Mother, the nightmare spirits became Her angels of dreams and have stood as Her heralds ever since.
