The war between the giants and the quori occurred at a time when Dal Quor, the Region of Dreams, was coterminous to Xen’drik. Now Dal Quor is always remote, but shattered gates still exist where mortals could once enter the plane of dreams.
Creatures approaching a shattered dreamwar gate become aware of a twist in reality. Colors seem unnaturally bright, or juxtaposed next to areas of black and white. Trees seem bent and warped, as if reflected in rippled water. Bird calls sound out backward, and the sun appears to move in the wrong direction.
A shattered dreamwar gate appears as a massive archway of violet crystal. Green mold grows in its many pits and cracks.
The area for 300 feet around a shattered dreamwar gate carries a feeling of altered reality. The landscape appears dreamlike from its long association with the Region of Dreams (though the area undergoes no physical change). Creatures that do not dream (such as elves, kalashtar, and warforged) and creatures immune to mind-affecting spells and abilities see nothing unusual.
