Sareen guards sleep and the vulnerable threshold of dreaming, where prophecy, memory and mercy become difficult to separate.
Sleep is the smallest surrender, and so it must be guarded like a kingdom.
Keeper of the inward night
Sareen was shaped to give mortal minds a place beyond waking demand. She gathers memory into dreams, softens what cannot yet be faced and occasionally opens a path through which the future speaks.
She is shown holding a veiled cradle that may contain an infant, an old person or a small night sky. No image reveals which.
Dream and prophecy
Sareen's clergy distinguish common dreams, healing dreams and true visions. The last are rare and never interpreted by the dreamer alone. Desire is too skilled at dressing itself as destiny.
She opposes Nimrae, whose false prophecies invade the same vulnerable territory. Temples keep careful records of recurring symbols to detect when a dream has been planted rather than born.
Houses of rest
Sareen's sanctuaries are quiet hostels for travellers, new parents, the sick and those exhausted by grief. Rest given without a demand for usefulness is considered a sacred offering.
Priests sit waking watches beside sleepers in crisis. A fine veil is hung between guardian and bed, promising presence without intrusion.
The Night of Unanswered Dreams
On the longest night, no prophecy is sought. Oracles close their books, rulers are refused interpretation and the faithful sleep without incense or ritual preparation.
The observance teaches that the future is not entitled to every night of the present. Sareen's greatest mercy may be a dream forgotten before waking.
