"Taking involves reforming matter in a self-contained reality, where the creator defines past, present, and future" - Osmiomancy Gloves The curse of the Dreaming City continues. An endless cycle of war. The Awoken within remain prisoners of fate. The key to breaking the curse is the power of Taking.
