Magus Kazem, the Dream Master of the Sands

Kazem knows not from where he came, or from when. As far back as he can recall, he has always existed; conscious among the realms of the physical, shared consciousness, and the astral plane. When Kazem first encountered humans, he found them to be interesting creatures. He thought they were rather silly in their quests for glory and power but showed many redeeming qualities such as love and compassion. He found that he could spontaneously enter their dreams and nightmares. As he grew more comfortable with this magic, Kazem found he could influence the waking perception of those he interacted with inside of the dream world at will.

As Kazem continued to explore the dream world, he found that he could not only manipulate the dreams of others, but also enter their memories and even alter them. This newfound ability gave Kazem immense power, but also brought great responsibility. Kazem knew that he had to use his powers wisely, for the consequences of tampering with someone's memories could be disastrous.

Despite this, Kazem found himself drawn to using his powers to influence change in the world. He observed a powerful merchant who charged high sums of money for goods that were necessary to the everyday lives of desert citizens. Kazem entered the dreams of this wealthy merchant and manipulated him into giving large sums of money to Kazem who secretly donated it to the people of the sands. Kazem also entered the dreams of the powerful rulers who commanded large armies of warring factions. He used his manipulation techniques to create peace within these unstable lands for the first time in ages.

But Kazem's actions did not go unnoticed. There were those who caught wind of his powers and saw him as a threat to their way of life. And so, a group of powerful wicked wizards banded together to stop Kazem and put an end to his influence. These wizards did not want the world to be in balance, they wanted chaos and confusion so they could conduct their business without any unwanted attention. Kazem stood in stark contrast to their sinister agenda.

Kazem knew that he could not defeat the wizards alone, so he turned to the only ally he had: the dream world itself. Kazem channeled his expanding consciousness and probed to discover powerful entities inhabiting this confusing realm. Kazem was surprised to discover others like himself. Dream masters who, like he, had existed since the beginning of it all were strewn about the universe and in different dimensions. Kazem explained the circumstances occurring in his own world and gained the support of fellow Dream Masters. They witnessed similar imbalances within their worlds and agreed to help. With combined efforts, they were able to summon powerful creatures from within the nightmares of his enemies. These creatures were manifested from the deepest fears and insecurities deep within the wizards’ consciousnesses. Once conjured by the group of Dream Masters, the beasts were unleashed upon the band of wicked wizards. The wizards were caught off guard by the hideous nightmare beasts and were quickly overpowered.

In the end, Kazem and the fellow Dream Masters emerged victorious and the wicked wizards were forced to flee into exile. His fellow Dream Masters bid Kazem farewell and returned to their domains. From that day on, Kazem was no longer operating in the shadows, he was known across the lands as the Dream Master of the sands, respected by all who knew of him. But despite his victory, Kazem knew that he could never let his guard down, for there were always those who would seek to create chaos and confusion to regain power over the citizens of the world.
