Carnach was the first dreamer to be given the titular rights of a Dreamsmith, though he could not in fact control all the powers associated with the station until later that year. Soulthief was first to learn the art of Forge Talisman, yet without the honored station of Dreamsmith. When Kard joined the ranks of the select few who had learned the art of Forge since the Great Loss, and adopted the title of "Junior Dreamsmith," it was cause for great celebration.
