Dreamer

The Dreamers of Liavara are descendants of Barathu colonists who lost their intelligence and ability to merge while their psychic powers improved. Barathus regard their cousins with reverence and protectiveness, leading to their insistence on administering Liavara as a protectorate in the Pact Worlds. They also agree that the Dreamers must be left to their own devices; meddling with the Dreamers is one of the few criminal offences among barathus. A small but vocal group opposes this view and argues for freer contact with the Dreamers.

Recent history

The dreamers peaceful existence abruptly came to an end in 324 AG with the Birth of the Newborn. The psychic emanations caused by its birth pangs enraged the Dreamers, sending them into a violent fury in which they attacked tourists and visitors to Liavara. Their erratic movements shut down local shipping lanes until they suddenly all plunged out of sight into the deeper levels of the gas giant.
