Challenge #04442-L058: A Very Unusual Place

This species of fae ate dreams. But only bad ones. Needless to say, it lived near the orphanage. No child there ever had a bad dream last very long at all. -- Anon Guest

It wasn't just Elves, Wudsgaad, and Brauniin that came into Mundis Mortalidae in the beginning of the world. Of course they came with magic, but there are other things native to Nanogh that found their way through. Many monsters, and things that go bump in the night.

Some perished, needing an ecology richer in magic. Others... they found different things to sustain them.

Grayslates was dingy and dismal and depressing, largely owing to the grey slate that gave the orphanage its name. The mining town it stood in was also dismal. Hard, dark stone and difficulty everywhere. In such a place, it's easy to also be dismal, depressed, and down in the dumps.
