%2Little is known about %bCauchemar%0%2, the Nightmare Lord. He is an entity cloaked in mystery, in half-truths, and in uncertainty. Many in the realms do not even believe he truly exists, having grown up hearing tales of the "Nightmare Boogeyman" that their parents used to scare them into behaving. However, rumors persist that he is real, that he has begun to manifest in the realms themselves, and that his purpose is dire, perpetuating disruption of the sleep each being needs to function by sending bizarre and frightening night visions to them of that which they most fear. If he does exist, he knows more about the inner fears and desires of every individual in the realms than anyone, even the Shadowlord.%0
