What do you think human nature is closer to? That of gods, angels, or demons? [

Define "human" as whatever your worlds closest equivalent is, if you need to.

It has been very interesting these past few days, trying to understand the nature of this dream world. Dreams, you see, are never this coherent. Often, they are like slimes—soft and squishy, malleable and ever changing in shape. But this world is more like a Hypostasis. It, too, can change form as it pleases, but it is far more rigid and predictable, and less prone to destruction. They are similar in nature, yet very different in reality.
But I digress. Though what sits before me is a journal, I am aware that this is a communication device, and I apologize for my initial paragraph. It felt more appropriate to start this message like a diary entry, or the beginnings of a story. Tales are often a great way to catch a reader's attention, or relate new information to them. I do hope that I've caught your attention.
My name is Nahida. I am one of the newly arrived to this dream world. I've been told much of this place already, but I find myself wanting to know more about its inhabitants; that is to say, you, who are currently reading this message. It is my hope that we could get to know each other and perhaps become friends, so to start, let me share a story about my world.
~~
Once upon a time, there lived a male Forest Boar in the rainforests of Sumeru. This Forest Boar was a peculiar one, for he never found any female boar attractive, so he lived his life in solitude, and was content to do so.
One day, the boar wandered too far into Shroom-kin territory and found himself beset by all sorts of Fungi. Try as he might, he could not fight all of them off, and was doomed to his fate. However, before he perished, a Geoshroom stepped in-between him and the other Fungi, pleading his case to its incensed kin.
The Geoshroom saved his life, and from then on, the pair were inseparable, traveling from one end of the rainforest to the other, exploring the world for its wonders and more. But alas, their joy was not meant to last forever. In a skirmish with a Rishboland Tiger, the Geoshroom was fatally wounded.
Though they vanquished their foe, they would no longer be able travel together. In his despair, the Forest Boar realized his love for the Geoshroom, and decided he would do whatever it takes to save the Geoshroom. It was then that his ardor provided him with the ability to change his form, and use his own body to sustain the Geoshroom.
Thus, the Shroomboar came to being; a union of two creatures that loved each other so dearly, they became one. They would go on to propagate, eventually becoming a commonplace animal in the rainforest.
~~
Did you find that interesting? I hope you did. Even if you didn't, I'm glad you read it all the same.
If you'd like to reciprocate, I would love to hear an interesting fact or story about the world that you come from. Or, if you'd prefer, I'd be happy to hear what you do here!
Thank you very much for your time.
Nahida

Hello everyone! My name is Iris Wilson, and I thought it'd be quickest to introduce myself over these interesting journals. Wouldn't it be faster if we could use typewriters instead of pens, though? Has anyone tested that?
Anyway, I trust you're familiar with Mr Naruhodo? Or Miss Mikotoba and Inspector Lestrade? They are some of my dearest friends and family, so I wanted to thank you all for being here to support them! Oh, and Mr Asogi and Mr Reaper, too!
In addition, I understand that Herlock Sholmes was here prior to me? Honestly, he's normally so difficult to wake, too. But I also wanted to say that I hope you had a lovely time with him and that,[
There's the briefest pause.]
well, I apologise if there was any trouble.
I believe that's all I have to say for now. We really must have tea sometime! I'll be staying with Runo if you'd like to find me.Iris Wilson ♡

Songerein—
A dream world born from the clash of three different universes. One world produced emotion energy, a byproduct created when one's emotions manifested into a more tangible force. Another produced dream energy, a byproduct of one's dreams that allowed one to view and traverse through them. Both worlds produced so much excess energy they were diverted into an empty universe and happened to collide, producing a new, strange world made up of a new source, dreamotion energy. It remained a barren wasteland until a tear through the dimensions appeared and the concepts of fairy tales poured through. Magic, creatures, environments—they were all dumped in a central location and life began to form. But were they real? Or just figments of what they used to be? Regardless, this giant clash has created a unique world filled with unlimited possibilities.
But of course, a clash of this size would have some side effects. The dream energy in particular remains volatile and continues to seep out with its innate ability to connect to any dream in any world. If there is a strong enough resonance between the dreamer and dream energy, a version of the dreamer, a dream self, is formed and pulled into Songerein while the original body remains in their world safe, unharmed, and unaware of what's going on. Only after accumulating enough dreamotion energy can the dream self "wake up" and leave Songerein to return to its original body, all its experiences felt like a strange, long dream.
Fortunately, Songerein is relatively...peaceful. It's a brand new world after all with only the fairy tale creatures and the dream selves, or dreamwalkers as they are officially called, pulled from other worlds as its denizens. There may be times the different energies become unstable, but it only creates a slight disturbance that eventually settles. Still, the constant connecting and reconnecting through the dream energy means that different things are randomly pulled in and disappear from the world. Those who have decided to make Songerein their home want to build onto it by using the ability to traverse through dreams to their advantage. By creating dreamshifts, they can create giant dreamscapes based on other worlds that large groups of dreamwalkers can enter and bring back concepts to be used in Songerein. Beginning with fairy tales, dreamwalkers could also form dreamshifts based on their own home worlds to bring in something from there. As a bonus, this uses the excess dreamotion energy within the world, helping stabilize it.
So, what kind of world will Songerein become? Just remember…
Where there are dreams, there are also nightmares.
Songerein is a panfandom game based on the following three former games: Somarium, Empatheias, and Forgotten Tales. At its core it is a worldbuilding game with adventure and character development. Player and character action will be what decides what is brought into Songerein, be it for good or ill. Although it's expected for players to be able to create their own fun and not rely solely on the mods, Songerein is billed to be more of a relaxed game for everyone to have fun in.
