Morpheus is the second planet from the sun, appearing grey in color, when it can be seen, and also curious in that it always appears to be in the same "phase" of crescent. This is because, even though it is closer to the sun, somehow it is on the same plane of orbit as Sinai, and also has the same length of year, thus moving in concert with Sinai. It is associated with the realm of Dream and hence is of importance to the Sphere of Dream of the College Esoterica. In legend, Morpheus is also the name of the God of Dreams, without any specific form (though, due to the predominance of the Olympian mythos, traditionally portrayed as a grey-furred Kattha). However, there has been a recent rebirth of interest in the long-forgotten God of Dreams, as several Dream Mages have claimed to have seen Morpheus during their rituals. This God of Dreams is described as appearing as a dark silhouette in the shape of a winged Khatta with large ears. In recent years, the Gateway Tower provided access to the planet Morpheus. The Rephidim Temple began attempts to map the planet, but this was frustrated by its everchanging nature. Reports indicate that the planet has a breathable atmosphere despite having a low gravity that shouldn't be able to sustain it. Furthermore, it is covered in grey silt which drifts about in clouds, requiring some sort of air filter to be worn while on the planet. Strange structures of "molten crystal" and stone rise and fall on occasion, and sometimes defy gravity, while the air is filled with the quiet sounds of chiming melodies from time to time. Further exploration has been frustrated by a large crystal growth that formed about the Gateway Tower on Morpheus, effectively trapping it, and preventing exit from the Crystal Chamber there. |
