C for
 CALLER OF DREAMS

One of the magical, powerful Treasures of Fincayra.  "The Treasures were always used to benefit the land and all its creatures."  The Treasures have been collected by Stangmar and used solely by him.

The treasure most celebrated by bards throughout time, "it has a horn with a power to bring wonderous dreams to life, and for centuries it was used only sparingly and wisely.  But with the help of Rhita Gawr, Stangmar used it to punish Caer Neithan (The Town of the Bards) for harboring some who dated to oppose his policies.  He called to life the most horrible dream ever beheld by any bard - and inflicted it upon the entire town." (p. 225)  The dream was "That every man, woman, and child in the village would never speak, nor sing, nor write again.  That the instruments of their souls - their very voices - would be silenced forever."
