Legend Lore: Caiphon, the Dream Whisperer

Caiphon, the Dream Whisperer, the Purple Star. Before there was man, there was nothing. And before there was nothing.. There were the Elder Evils. Those who had studied this star for a long period experienced lucid dreams in which they were transported to the star proper. According to those few, Caiphon was a world of purple fire that pulsed as if was alive, and was covered by a purple, amoebic ocean.   Unlike the other Far Realm-infested stars in the Outer Planes, Caiphon was interested in the affairs of the mortal world. Some speculated that this behaviour was because Caiphon had a role to play in the final destiny of the world.   Many believed Caiphon was a guide star, but Caiphon usually betrayed those who relied excessively upon it. In times of need, when even prayers to the gods failed, people offered their pleas to the star for help. On rare occasions, Caiphon listened and sent one of its emissaries. The emissary seemed like a good person, trying to help people to solve their problems. But not long after, chaos and war became common in the regions the emissary had appeared.
