Darkness surrounds the Gate to the Seven Hundred Steps below, which lead to the fabled Dreamlands. The Seventy Steps of Lighter Slumber trail off into nothingness above. On the shadow-shrouded landing in-between, suspended over the abyss and providing an anchor for the huge stone Gate, wait the two ancient priests, Nasht and Kaman-Tha. Eternally do they stand on either side of the Gate, their wrinkled hands folded into their long and wispy robes of spun stardust. Their glowing white eyes stare ever ahead at the foot of the Seventy Steps, awaiting the Dreamers who come to test themselves.<br/><br/>None may pass the Gate and descend the Seven Hundred Steps of Deeper Slumber until conversing with the priests, who judge whether Dreamers are strong enough to brave the wonders that lie below. It is only fair that they should do so, for many have been lost in the infinite expanses of pure imagination. Thus, Nasht and Kaman-Tha take their duty very seriously, and let no one through the Gate until they have not only been tested, but have had their questions answered and have been given at least one piece of sage advice.<br/><br/>...and so they wait.
