Dreamer

Dreamer is the new identity of Cres, a watchling who has chosen to live on Tamriel, which is taken if Cres is allowed to join the House of Reveries as a Hopeful under Alchemy's tutelage, rather than be banished back to Apocrypha, which depends on the choice made at the end of the related quest.

The Face of Change[edit]

If you choose to allow Cres to stay on Tamriel, Alchemy will lead them away into the bog, back towards her camp. During this journey, she will ask Cres to assume a different form:

Alchemy: "Now, if you're going to be a proper Hopeful, I'm going to need you to take a form similar to one of my players. Can you do that?"
Cres: "Oh! Yes! With your help that will be easy! How is this?"
<Cres takes a humanoid form wearing a House of Reveries mask.>
Alchemy: "You'll have no difficulty with brisk scene changes, certainly. Now for a name that speaks to your soul. What about … Dreamer?"
Dreamer: "Dreamer. I like that very much."

You can later find Dreamer with Alchemy at the House of Reveries campsite:

"Hello again …! Right, the blankness in your eyes reminds me that you do not know this face. Porcelain face.
It's—oh, wait, Alchemy said that no one should know who I was before. I am Dreamer now. I'm going to be an actor!"
Are you—
"Rhymes with bless? Yes! Alchemy helped me with my … outfit. Do you like it? I really like masks. Faces are hard. Um, expressions I mean. Acting."
I take it you like your new life so far.
"It's wonderful. And scary. I'm … me. No one expects me to behave in a certain way. I can just be. And when people ask me things about myself, I just make them up, and they laugh! Except Alchemy, she just rests her face in her hands usually."
Good luck in the House of Reveries.
"Thank you! I can't wait to see it. Alchemy says I must try out. I imagine there will be lots of trying things. I can't wait!"

Heroes of Blackwood[edit]

Dreamer with Alchemy in Gideon

Dreamer will attend the celebrations in Gideon along with Alchemy if you let them stay on Nirn:

"So this is what it's like to be part of an audience? It's much more cheerful than watching silently from the shadows. I especially like the clapping and cheering."
How has your transition been?
"Wonderful! All of the Players have welcomed me among the troupe as if I've always been a part of it. Some even invented some back-stories for me that are way more interesting than anything I came up with!"
So you are enjoying being an actor?
"Yes, yes, yes! I have gotten try out so many things since I became Alchemy's student! Like sticking a sword under my arm for a death scene and not stabbing myself in the chest.
I'm not allowed to try sword swallowing yet, though."
Best of luck with your future roles.
"Thank you for giving me a chance. I get to be anyone I want now. But most importantly, I get to be me.
And don't worry, I am now totally aware that break a leg is merely a figurative expression."

Notes[edit]

  • Although impersonating a High Elf, Dreamer is not the same height as one.
