    Sombra pondered how best to retrieve its new subjects. That was what they were as their leader had opened herself to it. They belonged to the lord of dreams by pact. They're faith in exchange for freedom from the grasp of the chaotic one.

    Casting its mind it reached deep within the well of power it held. It would bring these souls to it. Wind that was not built in response to the gods will. Raising forth the stuff dreams with it. A veil of rest and delusion building up as it went. Becoming larger and greater with every passing moment.

    Off it went according to the masters design. It would see these souls back to the Materium. The seed for the faith of Sombra.

    @Doommaster

    I'll put this on the prayer.

    Even as the storm blew forth Sombra was not idle. The god had glimpsed its new foe. A being of power far beyond its own. Glutted on the emotions and souls of countless beings. Swollen with the sense of self. It was gluttony and pride personified.

    In a sense the two were kin. Both beings born from thought and concepts. So vast and far beyond mortal comprehension. Yet there was a single major difference. The other was older and stronger. Well as much as time mattered in the realm of possibility. Sombra could not yet face it on even terms. There was simply too much of a power difference.

    At least for now.

    That issue could be easily rectified given time. The lord of dreams need only reach across the veil. So many souls within reach with just a bit of effort.

    @Doommaster
    I'd like to put this on the mortals.

    So why I think lorgar is our best base is because of his charisma the man is like levels of Jesus Christ in the sense that he would attract the most followers he would be a fanatically loyal primarch another reason the perfect time to talk to him is after the fall of monarchia he is scared and vulnerable we will talk to him in his sleep.
    And we will convince him.
    He may not be a stronger primarch.
    But he has the charisma of the emperor and is a powerful prophet and could convince many to follow us.
    In my opinion the most powerful men after the great conquerors are the ones who sell you a way of thinking.
    Like jesus krishna mahoma buddha
    They left such an impact on history
    That many follow to this day
    And lorgar was the founder of religion.
    We would have a tremendous advantage in the number of followers compared to the other 4.
     
    Consiering how many people Lectitio Divinitatus ended up brainwashing into mindlessly obediant faith factories buffing up Big E, holy crap you're right. Not to mention the fact that if we nab him before Erebus (tfu!) introduces him to Chaos, we solidly defang Horus Heresy, if not prevent it entirely, the Imperium doesn't get borked and the greatest opponent to reality tumours gets to stay on the board. And since we don't have that much of a powerbase the Imperial Truth would hit compared to them, we're poised to dominate the Warp in the aftermath, assuming of course the Four does not team up against us. But then we would have to just play a waiting game or even show up to assist Imperium and get tolerated.
     
    I firmly believed that the rebellion was inevitable and the 4 are not stupid.
    They could find another way.
    Have you read the Roboutian heresy?
    And big e with his stupidity and followership I think horus or someone else would have provoked the rebellion even sanginius admits that the enperor is a son of a bitch.
    We are a god we play the great game and even we get to lorgar
    big e and the 4 know how to play too and know how to adapt

    Now what is big e's biggest problem his kids are tools to him and he is so focused on the big paint he doesn't see the cracks
    All 4 can stay with the others
    Let's keep one that will give us the most important and rare thing in 40k loyalty.
     
    Sadly my com0uter overheated, so it shall take another night, but I have finished part 1, where you answered the prayer, just couldn't get to the next part without damaging the computer
     
    [X] Plan Walking into Dream

    So can we have our followers recreate Inseption?

    Also can we stretch the meaning of our Domains?

    Dreams aren't just something you have when you sleep after all. Can we turn into passionate ambitions and life goals and steal some essence of Zheentch's Hope and ambition. His only manifest as a lust for power anyway.

    Nightmares are also Dreams. Tools that can be tailored made to exploit the weaknesses of our enemies.

    Then there is lucid Dreams. A way to play out your wildest fantasies, perhaps a way to train yourself while sleeping, or a time of communion and prayer in this "holy moment of awareness."

    Delusion is a disconnect from reality so can we try and mimic something akin to the Ork's WHAAAGH field? Collective Delusion become reality, or at least begins to affect it.

    Turn sleep walking into how it's depicted in media. Or as a much lighter and temporary form of possession.

    There is also prophecy in Dreams, something that we can try and capitalize on.

    @SteelWriter77 can I have a better explanation of what you want with your Glass of Wonder and Shard of Vengence

    Sure thing. For both i intend them to be a sort of corrupting thing/trap we send out into dreams to influence folks to be more in line with our own God and force them to willingly become our worshipers.

    Glass of Wonder: This one more focusing on showing a person the full and "True" life they could lead if they lived fully for making their dreams a reality, for example say a poor human on a Hive World saw a Glass of Wonder, they'd see a life of great feasts and wealth beyond imagining, sure they may have those dreams already, but the Glass of Wonder is to amplify those Dreams, trying to get the person to fully commit to making that dream a reality no matter how outlandish, of course this is destined to fail, in which case we can come in to offer them a way to live out the Dream.

    In short it's a trap to force the person to gaze far too long at their dreams and make them more willing to throw themselves to us.


    Shard of Vengeance: While this one is more of a personal look at a person, as a shard it'll metaphorically pierce into a persons mind and soul, forcing them to whenever they sleep to experience all the wrongdoings or slights that was preformed on them, intensifying how bad they actually were each night, the trick is to go for folks who have no means of enacting any plot of vengeance on those they want, leaving them to stew in resentment, at least until we can come in and offer them a way to get back.

    I hope this answers your questions.

    From my understanding, these are our methods of affecting reality without being directly involved. Nurgle is the only one doing similar things with all of his plagues and diseases. Other Chaos Gods would usually just use their daemons or followers to do their bidding instead of randomly throwing stuff through the Warp.

    It's like the Sandman thing, right? When people go to sleep, depending on their situation they would have a random chance of being infected with either Glass or Shard, not just their usual dream. Is this what you are aiming for?

    Yes exactly, why put ourselves or our future Deamons at risk against someone who could fight back, when we could just send the funny Glass out and make them change overtime to suit our needs.
     
    It is possible to talk to eldars in dreams at this time they are at their most vulnerable and desperate.
    Play our cards right and we will have craftworld and exodites.
    Because compared to slannesh we are a necessary evil.
    It is possible to appear in multiple dreams at once but we have to ask for the most important thing their unquestionable absolute loyalty.
    Also i love the dictanomy more flaw in warp
    But more stronger in maerial world compared to others is ironic

    We see this in our first follower, who is a Eldar. Becuse compared to the overt nonsense of our "Kin" we are a subtle and insidious Chaos God, we don't just throw our power around, granted this is also because we have our own separate realm and don't need to throw our wight around to showcase to the other gods in the Great Game. So to everyone we are a more "Benevolent" force that will quickly gather some followers with our methods.
     
    I think big e will have us partly as a maximum threat because the 4 are too showy and somewhat predictable.
    We are much more dangerous because nobody knows where we are.
    we are the unpredictable evil cegorach
    And no one knows what we are playing at
    We are the wild card in the big game
    Big e is going to be much more paranoid about us
    Cause the 4 of us are in some ways predictable
     
    We also have greater reach per se. All creatures eventually come to dream awake or asleep. Even if they don't they all need to rest eventually. That is when we creep in. It is what gives us power. All humans are under our sway to some extent. The other gods are more conditional in their influence.
     
    People, can I ask you a question
    What would warhammer fans think
    If this god was canon in otl
    What do you think fans would theorize
    Since we have eldars followers we would be seen as the cegorath of chaos.

    Say, what do you think about giving tells on those who catch them? When those who received Glass awake they would find a handful of purple sand somewhere on their person, while those with Shards, a handful of black sands.
     
    Sorry the chapter has taken so long, life is kicking my ass, but I will try my hardest to get the chapter to you asap
