Galdmara

Galdmara

Aspect: Mystic · Nation: Norfjall

Overview

Galdmara are often regarded with superstition and distrust. They are some of the few wild Chronikin that actually seek out human settlements. Many equate a surge of nightmares as a sign of a Galdmara infestation as it is believed that they are able to somehow derive nutrition from ‘consuming’ bad dreams. However, many Norfjall locals take the opposite view, seeing Galdmara as a good omen. Those that have had their nightmares consumed report feeling restful and at ease. It is still unclear what comes first, the nightmare or the Galdmara.
