1d6 Random Dream & Chaos Tainted Finds Table For Your Old School Campaigns

When Old Earth ends & the gods dreams of realities begin to fade worlds sometimes slowly pass on but this may take thousands of years. The world seems to become less real as reality tatters under itself and things seem to pass on. The forces of law & chaos are called down to do battle once again as their champions & agents take center stage to fight their mock battles we call the apocalypse. Dreams of apocalypse allow the energies of tainted thoughts and rot enter the world through the cracks. Places, things, and even items become infused with these horrid energies.
The dead twitch and the boundaries between life & death become thinner as the old hates find their way back into the world.
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
Edgar Allen Poe
Those coming across relics and antiques that have been left behind when such events occur would do well to be careful of such objects. These relics are imbued by supernatural & dream laden taint of chaos that carries with it the seeds of dream borne disease and even the plague of nightmare.
