Sominot

Sominot is a fictional creature originating from the folklore of the Aethelian people. Descriptions of Sominot vary across different regions and traditions, but a common thread portrays them as nocturnal beings associated with dreams and the subconscious. They are often depicted as wispy or shadowy figures, sometimes with iridescent wings or luminous eyes.

The primary role attributed to Sominot in Aethelian mythology is the guidance or manipulation of human dreams. Some legends suggest they are benevolent spirits that lead sleepers through pleasant or insightful dreamscapes, offering comfort or wisdom. Conversely, other tales warn of malevolent Sominot that can induce nightmares, sow discord through unsettling visions, or even steal memories during sleep.

Interactions with Sominot are rarely physical. Instead, they are believed to communicate through symbolic imagery and emotional resonance within dreams. Rituals aimed at warding off negative Sominot or attracting benevolent ones often involve offerings of fragrant herbs or quiet contemplation before sleep. The Aethelian culture places significant importance on dream interpretation, seeing it as a direct link to the influence of Sominot. The creature's existence remains a matter of belief and cultural tradition, with no empirical evidence to support its physical reality.
