A brand new nature of demons has emerged from the realm of Shadows; creatures that do not manifest amongst the material worlds where the Corruption touches but instead interact by traveling amongst the dreams and subconscious of mortals, reaching them when their guard is low or their perceptions of the other realms is particularly high or sensitive. These demons are an unexpected evolution brought about my the Lands' freedom to grow and adapt without being held back. Interestingly enough, these Dream Walkers seem to be some of the most responsive demons to Thistle, aside from the Tshay. While no creature of the Lands ever ignores the presence or commands of its Demi-god, most demons do not consider her unless she is personally present or within their vicinity. The Dream Walkers, however, seem to seek out her presence. It is possible that this is because most of these demons are mutated forms of Lurkers, and are therefore still more in tune with the Realm fracture of the Lands.
Esmierr*Medium*
One of the more dangerous forms of Dream Walkers, Esmierr are capable of trapping their victims within comas, weaving in-depth and convincing worlds for their minds to become lost in, or else developing the most contrived and horrific of nightmares to torture them with. Wherever their whim takes them. Esmierr do not appear as fleeting glimpses or visions in the waking world as many other Ostel-dun do, instead being restricted entirely to the plane of the unconscious.
Due to the fact that Esmierr do not possess individual personalities and are not individually named, single images are instead used to represent multiple minions.

Shanti*Lesser*(Top)
The most common of Dream Walkers, Shanti often show up as brief visions or ghost glimpses to people during their waking times. Sometimes a sight just at the corner of their eye, sometimes a shadow slipping past, or maybe a voice that someone thought they heard. During the victim's dreams the Shanti often appear as wild, chaotic figures or forces, unpredictable in nature and capable of being anything from silent observers from afar to active and dangerous antagonists amongst nightmares.
Due to the fact that Shanti do not possess individual personalities and are not individually named, single images are instead used to represent multiple minions.
