When you fell asleep and first saw the wave, you thought it was just a reoccuring dream. A black tide, rising from nowhere— Soundless, slow and impossibly vast. It swallowed the sky and whispered your name endlessly. When it finally swallowed you whole, a velveteen voice laced in toxins offered you everything.
When you wake up, nothing is as she promised— And you are not where you belong.
Somnia is a panfandom horror roleplay set in the ruins of a world ravaged by a God-like being called Sleep. She shattered her own realm and now dreams outward, infecting others. Your character is pulled from their world by her dream that finds them, consumes them, and reshapes them.
They are now a Vessel: either a Token, shaped by magic, or an Offering, shaped by monstrous transformation. All are bound to each other by an invisible thread called the Murmur, an ever-present network of shared thoughts, feelings, and memories. This connection can grow deeper into shared psychic bonds called Tethers, even an even stronger bond called Convergence— but the cost of change is never small.
Game events are shaped by the music of Sleep Token, where each arc is inspired by an album and band lore. You'll be following the story of One, this world's first Vessel, who is tangled dangerously with Sleep, and will later seek to break free from her clutch and end her spreading infection.
