Lylkan the summoner was unable to sleep one night. He found an old scroll in his library, and it told this story:

There was once a powerful group of wise men. They made a book with the heart of a man, and gave it magical powers. Soon it took human form and fled from them. The scroll suggested that the book wandered all of space and time, filling its infinite pages with knowledge and its experiences as it went.

Lylkan didn't believe this story, but when he finally slept he had a strange dream:

He was wandering the astral, when he met at a crossroads an albino and a man in a tuxedo. The man in the tuxedo offered to feed them, and they turned aside to a waterfall.

Once they were under the waterfall, Lylkan realized that the man in the tuxedo had pulled them back from where the astral plane and dream plane went.

"You protected us. Is that you, DW?" asked the second man.

"Yes, Thoma," said the man in the tuxedo," It's me,"

Lylkan sat across from the two of the them. Thoma had a very white complexion, like a scroll, and Lylkan thought he saw a tattoo a couple of times, but when he glanced at it the tattoo vanished. Text? Was this the man he read about?

DW fed them food that tasted amazing, wine, cake, cheese, their hearts' or perhaps stomachs' desire they didn't know they had.

So Lylkan believed in the man-book, and learned that there was a demi-god over part of the dream world, or as DW called it sophisticatedly, the collective unconscious, the network of sleeping humans. This knowledge wasn't immediately useful, although perhaps in time..
