Ocarus(God of Dreams)

Ocarus is the god of dreams, born of the union of Yala(Goddess of Life) and Ius(God of the Moon). Formed when the first of animal bent down to sleep. With it's mind free to wander, the unbounded creative instinct gave rise dominion to the god of dreams, who used his new domain to subtly influence the world around him. As new life forms were added to the world by the other gods, Ocarus's power grew exponentially, as each sleeping creature aided his divinity. While he could have used this power for personal gain as many of his family did, he instead found himself content as a mere observer, sparking the minds of sleeping individuals to simply watch their minds at work. Those who won Ocarus's favor would find great inspiration and prophecy hidden in their dreams. Those who drew his ire were tormented night after night by terrors that the victims could not even describe after they awoke.

During the Godswar, virtually every living creature was awoken by the cataclysm, forcing Ocarus to fight at a disadvantage. Wanting to protect the lives of the mortals rather than his unsleeping family, Ocarus set to work spending the divinity that had been as of yet unused, for he had been keeping a catalog of the horrors that lurked in the nightmares of Men. He sent these fell beasts, carved from the inky black shadow of his realm, to kill the monstrosities of his bretheren. Though these intangible creatures could not inflict harm, the damage to his enemies morale was evident, as many immediately routed in the face of the swirling gales of teeth and tentacles Ocarus created. While the expended effort took the sum total of his divinity, in his dying breaths he willed some portion of his plane to remain behind, so that the mortals he was so fond of could have rest from their future struggles in his realm.

Ocarus did not involve himself with the day light, and followed his father the Moon as he raced across the sky. It is said that it was Ocarus guided Man to sleep at night so he could stay under the protection of his father. He never took human form, preferring to lure creatures into his realm while they slept, and appearing to them as a man covered in wispy black shadows with no face. Great prophecy was said to follow anyone with whom the God of Dreams met with. Ocarus never built creatures of his own, but found the elves to be a particularly troublesome race due to their forgoing of sleep entirely. While it was not impossible, influencing the elves meditation was often too great a task for the God of Dreams.
