| On Lessa, there is a colossal dreamweaver colony called **The Mesmer** ([[languages:classical-airumali|Classical Âirumâli]]: //A Mesmř//) or Dreamhell ([[languages:classical-airumali|Classical Âirumâli]]: //A Řaviti//): a massive quasisapient dreamsilk web that covers tens of thousands of square kilometers of Lessan forest and jungle, that serves as the capital of and the main food store for [[sophonts:dreamweaver|dreamweaver]] society, calling out to sapient beings to walk into it, that it and the arachnoids living within may feed on their waking minds and render them its slaves. | On Lessa, there is a colossal dreamweaver colony called **The Mesmer** ([[languages:classical-airumali|Classical Âirumâli]]: //A Mesmr//) or Dreamhell ([[languages:classical-airumali|Classical Âirumâli]]: //A Řaviti//): a massive quasisapient dreamsilk web that covers tens of thousands of square kilometers of Lessan forest and jungle, that serves as the capital of and the main food store for [[sophonts:dreamweaver|dreamweaver]] society, calling out to sapient beings to walk into it, that it and the arachnoids living within may feed on their waking minds and render them its slaves. |

| It is estimated that the Dreamhell consumes about two thousand people a year, and that another 1500 or so die within from other causes. The Safìr Alliance have declared the Mesmer a sealed zone, into which no person is allowed to set foot, but this has done little aside from make the Dreamhell's beckonings stronger, the morass going so far as to send its drones to teleport random people into it, not to mention the allegations of certain less-than-scrupulous societies exiling those who have trespassed against them to the Mesmer. The Alliance's finest elemental kineticists, especially pyros, and mindscrews (interference attack-oriented telepaths) are barely sufficient to prevent its spread, owing to the prodigious reproductive capabilities of the psider aristocracy, lest its weave consume more settlements and its consciousness mesmerize more sophonts. | It is estimated that the Dreamhell consumes about two thousand people a year, and that another 1500 or so die within from other causes.
