Art History

Shortly after the Nightmare Wars, when a group of Master Dreamwrights led by Syriand the Graceful and Lagumbar Staggern had developed the Portals of the dream itself, it was discovered by the Seekers of Knowledge, they discovered that the ambient essence in a contained area was easier to harness. Their efforts and of course their extremely involved studies in this area led to the spawning of many new varieties of arts for the dream. The first of which the Seekers of Knowledge deemed necessary were the Gatekeeper arts known as Ward and Amulet in order to control access to certain areas for a period of time. This is the history behind the great arts of Ward and Amulet (Willpower)

Notes

The user used to pass through their own Ward normally, but now requires an Amulet like everyone else.

The only ways to pass through the lock are using the Amulet of the one who created it, and through the use of Blend.

It is possible to Ward a Portal multiple times. This can only be achieved by having multiple GateKeepers complete the evocation on the same Portal at the same time. This will stop the use of Blend as a method to pass through the Portal.

GateKeepers that possess Forge Talisman can also create a Ward like talisman for various uses.
