As Inscribed by [[Ghazgkull]]

(1). Calenture is a type of fever. And that fever is where [[House Calenture]]'s tale begins. In the days when the city was new and the first wave of dreamers began to discover the [[Dreamwright]]'s creation, a young woman fell ill in [[Cloudsbreak]].

(2). Confined to her bed and racked by calenture, her fevered dreaming led to her Awakening. The city was a miracle to her. Although she was weak and limited in [[Cloudsbreak]], in the Dream she was strong and free.

(3). So when debates arose about the nature of the [[Dreamstate]] and the role of the Awakened, she sided with those who advocated enjoying the full potential of the [[dream]] without limitations or self-imposed burdens- those known as the [[Freesoul]]s.

(4). When [[The Dreamer Wars]] erupted between the [[Illuminate Front]] and the [[Freesoul Knights]] who opposed them, she took up arms as a Knight. Although she was not the greatest warrior, she was an inspiring leader.

(5). Her words could rally the [[Freesoul Knights]] and embolden them to continue their fight. And her story reminded them why it was important to defend freedom in the Dream.

(6). After [[The Dreamer Wars]] ended, the lady became a prominent philosophical leader of the [[Freesoul|Freesouls]]. As her body was succumbing to calenture, she taught that the Dream must be preserved as a place of freedom for the Awakened.

(7). With the coming of the [[Nightmare]]s, the groups retreated even further, building fortresses and studying the nightmares. The [[Freesoul]]s who believed in banishing built their house atop [[Evernight Plateau]].

(8). The Lady of Calenture, as she was now known, came with them. Over the years, although she barely clung to life in [[Cloudsbreak]], she continued to be a spiritual leader for the house, eventually becoming a kind of oracle.

(9). [[House Calenture]] was named in honor of her. The name commemorates her struggle and is a reminder of how important our City is and why we must always defend it.
