Dreamform: The Web of Harmonies
In this jungle domain, the canopy is thick with webs. Though primitive humans and other lesser creatures scuttle below, it is the predatory spiders who rule this realm. Spiders of every size are found in this place, from those that would sit comfortably on the head of a pin to those that are the size of elephants. They vary in intelligence too, some are as smart (or smarter than) humans, while some have little more than base instinct.
Though it might not be obvious to a human onlooker, the spiders maintain a complex and ancient civilisation. The purpose of this civilisation is centred around the Great Song, or the Web of Harmonies, a constant music of chittering mouths, clacking teeth and scuttling legs that covers the jungle as a continuous drone. The Song is the sign of the Spider's dominance, and marks the domain of Arachnos, the Ebon Monarch...
The Dominant Actors of the Court
KING: Arachnos, The Ebon Monarch
Twice the height of a man, and several times the mass, Arachnos could be considered monstrous. To his subjects, however, he is a thing of beauty, with his flawless black carrapace and perfect form that shows all that is good and right about the arachnid form. To them, he is an avatar of the universal spider deity, and rules by nothing less than divine mandate. They applaud his ruthlessness, his predatory instincts and his talents at stealth and deception. They marvel at the webs he weaves, both those literal and metaphorical. Can there be any doubt that Arachnos is the rightful ruler of Arcadia?
