Selena

This character is dead.
The Dream Oracle
NPC

Selena, once a gifted Sylvarin sorceress and seer, hailed from the city of Ithandriel in the heart of the Faewyld. Known for her prophetic visions and mastery of dream magic, she was revered as a Dream Oracle, using her abilities to guide and protect her people. Her destiny, however, was forever altered during the Conjunction of the Realms, which pulled her from the Faewyld and cast her into the Prime Plane.

Fall to the Prime Plane

Selena's journey into the unknown began when she left Ithandriel to explore the untamed expanses of the Faewylds, seeking wisdom beyond the reach of her kin. During her travels, she communed with ancient forces and sought the guidance of Archfey, including King Cernunnos. Her wanderings led her to be caught in the Conjunction of the Realms, the cataclysmic event that blurred the boundaries between planes.

Cast into the Prime Plane, Selena found herself vulnerable to its unfamiliar and hostile forces. She was quickly enthralled by Yokai, who used insidious Oni dream magic to trap her in a state of endless nightmares, feeding on her visions and manipulating her powers for their own dark purposes.

Rescue by the Sunsations

Selena’s plight drew the attention of The Sunsations, who encountered her while unraveling the Oni warlock's schemes. Recognizing her immense potential and the threat posed by her enslavement, they confronted the warlock and freed Selena from her dream prison. Grateful for their intervention, Selena regained her independence and vowed to use her powers to help those in need.

Her rescue marked a turning point in her life. No longer tied to Ithandriel or the Faewyld, Selena sought to find a new purpose on the Prime Plane.

The Obelisk of Cernunnos

Following her liberation, Selena embarked on a pilgrimage through the Faewylds of the Prime Plane, drawn by whispers of the ancient Obelisk of Cernunnos. The obelisk, overgrown with fluorescent moss and carved with runes of the antlered god, became a focal point for Selena’s rediscovery of herself and her connection to the Faewyld.

In a vision granted by the obelisk, Selena saw her purpose—to act as a bridge between the Faewylds and the Prime Plane, helping others navigate the chaos left in the wake of the Conjunction. The obelisk reaffirmed her connection to her Sylvarin roots while granting her the clarity to move forward in a new world.

Joining the Sanctum of Sanguineous

Guided by her vision and newfound resolve, Selena joined the Sanctum of Sanguineous, a chivalric order that had also fallen to the Prime Plane during the Conjunction. Recognizing the order’s mission to uphold balance and protect the innocent, Selena aligned her gifts with their cause, becoming an invaluable member of their ranks.

Her dream magic and seer abilities provided the Sanctum with insight into otherworldly threats, while her deep understanding of Faewyld magic helped bridge the gap between the two planes. Selena’s presence also served as a reminder of the unity possible between disparate realms and peoples.

Legacy

Selena’s journey from Dream Oracle of Ithandriel to member of the Sanctum of Sanguineous reflects her resilience and adaptability. She has become a symbol of hope for those displaced by the Conjunction of the Realms, using her gifts to guide others through the challenges of a fractured multiverse.

Her continued communion with the Obelisk of Cernunnos ties her to her Sylvarin heritage, while her work with the Sanctum demonstrates her commitment to forging a new path in the Prime Plane. Selena’s tale is one of transformation, perseverance, and the enduring power of dreams.

One, Final Dream

Tomb of the Twin-Spirit

In the final days leading to the Battle of the Black Sun, Selena, Dream Oracle of Ithandriel, received a harrowing vision unlike any she had ever known. Beneath the boughs of the dream-warped woods near the Obelisk of Cernunnos, she entered a deep seance alone, her spirit threading the veil between the Prime Plane and the Faewyld.

There, she beheld the sun eclipsed—blackened and weeping flame—dragged unnaturally close to the world by a presence she could barely comprehend. She saw a tomb built atop a floating volcano, ringed in shattered moons and broken stars. And there, beneath a bleeding sky, she saw the end of many: friends, strangers, angels. She awoke breathless, her voice cracked from screaming names she had not yet spoken.

Soon after, two of the Sylvarin Royal Guard arrived in secret from Ithandriel, dispatched not only to accompany Zyla Nu Ten, but to aid Selena in whatever lay ahead. With them, she traveled west—summoned by Talyen’s call to arms—joining The Sunsations aboard the Sky's Edge as it crossed the ashen skies toward The Isle of Ember.

During the battle, Selena took her place in the shadow of the broken pyramid, holding back the Fallen Mythar Angels by pulling them into a shared nightmare—binding them in endless loops of judgment, sorrow, and unfulfilled celestial duty. Within that dreamspace, she held fast, tethering their minds to the echoes of their former divinity. Her trance nearly broke as Malekith wrought radiant destruction through the crumbling chamber, but she endured long enough for her allies to advance.

But when Valekith returned, dragging the eclipsed sun closer to the material world, Selena’s dream was consumed by flame. Her body, still seated in silent seance, was scorched to cinder in an instant—golden ashes spiraling upward like the last whispers of a vision.

Her death was neither loud nor violent. It was quiet. A dream ending.

Now, in Ithandriel, dream-seers of the Court of Verdance say her spirit returned to the Faewyld in that final moment, carried by Cernunnos himself, where her last vision still plays among the boughs of the whispering woods for those brave enough to see what is to come.
