   Summary

   In the kingdom of Hallownest, there lies a temple. In that temple, there is a great stone egg, blacker than night. Within the safety of that shell, chained up tightly, is a Vessel. And within the Vessel, there is a lonely dream.

   The Dream, a goddess of determination, light, the hope for something better. The Vessel, a deity of peace, stalwart strength, the hope for suffering to end.

   Together, the two clash and connect in equal turns.
