The rulers f distant Sarlona are known s the Inspired.
a
These noble families are said to be bound to celestial
spirits that guide and empower them, but the truth is far
darker. The Inspired are the mortal hosts of the night­
mare spirits of Dal Quor, and they carry out the foul
agenda of the Dreaming Dark. .
Any humanoid who can dream can volunteer to serve
as a quori vessel. But the Inspired of Sarlona are hu­
mans bred to be such vessels. They have no choice in
this destiny, since they can't resist quori possession.
Physically, Inspired resemble the kalashtar, possessing
an almost supernatural beauty.
Most of the people of the Five Nations have heard
of the Inspired lords in Riedra-never realizing that
Inspired are spread throughout Khorvaire as well.
Beggars and generals, mayors and merchants might
all be secret servants of the Dreaming Dark. Such In­
spired have to willingly accept quori possession, but the
Dreaming Dark has long experience in weaving dreams
that can convince mortals to surrender their bodies.

VARIANT: Q U O R I VESSEL
The n s pired are vessels for quori spirits, allowing the
I
quori to manifest a portion of their power while the vessel
is possessed. An I n spired can gain benefits depending on
