growl, snort, stomp, grunt?
And when will the sh*t-flipping of Ven begin? Sometime today?

Hey Adams, just asking quick:
Are the voices okay? Just making sure I don't go god-modey with an Old God or anything. I planned to use them as plot devices (specifically for trying to spreadthe corruption)

Eh, bit much since that wasn't what the original Nightmare did after all.

What would be the proper way to describe it?
I just sort of thought it was how all old god mind control worked. They whisper in your mind, driving you insane.

The Nightmare took over bodies, trapping people's minds in the Dream, then used the sleepers body as a weapon; and depending on the creature, such as the Ancient(the Tree ones) and Dragons corrupted the body itself into Nightmare creatures. That one never whispered into the brains of others.

Ah.
So why is it that they even served the nightmare within the dream if it only controlled their bodies?
Post by
Adamsm
Those who were trapped in the Dream weren't fighting; there were Shadow Nightmare like demons that served Xavius were the actual shock troops in addition to the corrupted creatures that were made entirely of Spirit. They said at the end of the book, those who lost their physical bodies were given places within the Dream that they could serve as there was no way to put them back.

Okay. So the thing with Lethon was because we detroyed him physically in Azeroth? Makes sense.
So any corruption will be pushing the mind of the victim into a trance or sleep? And then they're bodies would become servents used to spread it further until something woke them up somehow?
So I would just say it like they are clouding the person's mind?

The bodies became sleepwalkers; standard zombies. The minds would be pulled out of the body and would experience intense endless nightmares(worse fears, greatest failures) as seen with Thrall being unable to save Taretha, Sylvanas experiencing her death over and over again and never being freed, Krasus being trapped in the Demon Soul and used as Deathwing willed, etc etc. The Nightmare was passed by the fog/mist thing that Xavius had released from the Dream Portals across Azeroth; wasn't really passed around by servants.

I'm sort of making that part of Thero's purpose; spreading the nightmare. Not a standard thing, but part of what she is there to do.
Wish I could find a copy of Stormrage somewhere now... I'm mostly working from Wowpedia.

Trying to decide on an outfit for Karath... I'm strange leaning towards something like the Embrace of the Viper armor set...
