Art History

Identify Curse was an art created before the great loss by a dreamer named DiBauda. This dreamer came into the dream just before the beginning of the DreamStrike Wars, and was an empath in his shard. DiBauda was able to carry over his ability to dream as an empath, and was able to feel what others were feeling. His ability to give the prognosis to almost any problem was unrivaled, and knew for the most part what dreamers were feeling, because he himself was able to feel it. DiBauda was a DreamSeer of great influence because of this, and was feared by those who wanted others to succumb to their wills because DiBauda knew what dreamers held in their hearts, no matter how secret they kept it from others. DiBauda had discovered a way of transferring this ability to his use of insight, and was able to teach dreamers the ability to detect the burdens others bared in order to help them. He held himself to 4 apprentices. These 4 dreamers were known as Lorac, the creator of Purify, Morden, the creator of Protection, and Cybele, the creator of Identify and a little known dreamer named Albestor who is still forgotten in the dream, though his deeds for both the dream, and for illuminates are both extensive and far-reaching. DiBauda gathered these 4 apprentices before the height of the DreamStrike Wars opposing both the DreamStrike Masters AND the Entropy Coalition. He attempted to gather all those that he had befriended and helped in the past to help aid his cause to fight the DreamStrike Masters and the Entropy Coalition, believing one group or the other would bring the dream under their sway and have total subjection of the dream before the end, or until they destroyed the dream. The DreamStrike Masters, fearing DiBauda and his following attacked and were able to remove DiBauda and 3 of his followers. The 4th, Albestor, went into hiding. Albestor carried on in hiding teaching a select few of his followers to pass on the art of Identify Curse. Eventually, Albestor confronted the DreamStrike Masters and the Entropy Coalition in hopes of bringing peace at the height of the DreamStrike Wars, and was subsequently DreamStruck in fear of bringing about a following similar to that of DiBauda. Identify Curse became a rumor of an art, and only a select few DreamSeers were permitted to learn the art from master teachers of Insight before and after the Great Loss until lately, where the art has been passed down not only to younger DreamSeers, but also to dreamers of other foci, which was the design of DiBauda before his untimely DreamStrike, and loss from the dream.
