The Path of the Dreams is a quest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Journal[ | ]

I and the Storyteller, a blind but very perceptive old fellow, have prepared a ritual which can help us penetrate the dreams of the villainous nymph Nyrissa. It's time we learned her secrets, and her insidious plans!

To make this happen, the Storyteller and I must collect things and memories related to Nyrissa — as many as possible. The {King/Queen} will need to allocate the kingdom resources for the project to assist the Storyteller.
  • Preparations for the ritual have begun! The {King/Queen} has to wait until everything is ready, and then talk to the Storyteller.

It's time we paid a visit to the Storyteller, and go on a trip where we've never ventured before!

We must travel through the dreams of the powerful nymph. There we will find the answers to many of our questions.
  • We visited the dream of Nyrissa's past. It seems that in those days she was… well, apparently not so evil!
    Addendum_DreamOfPast (58eb5482cc0d0214ea1a03693faeccad)
  • We saw how Nyrissa was defeated by a beast and brought to justice! Then she was cursed, and obliged to destroy countless kingdoms.
    Addendum_DreamOfFall (b36a8fb5bfd608f439358dbcde45e4cc)
  • Now we know that the curse deprived Nyrissa of a part of her soul. That part was turned into an artifact called Briar.
    Addendum_DreamOfLove (c91a91d61baaa3e4d879878a4e49c95a)
  • Apparently, Nyrissa prefers to act through an intermediary. Tristian, the Stag Lord, Armag and King Irovetti — all of them were her tools.
    Addendum_DreamOfLoyalty (170fc070a4c753446b7127143c8fd0f0)
  • Nyrissa plotted to fill the cup with the grains of destroyed kingdoms. Willingly or not, we've even helped her!
    Addendum_DreamOfForgiveness (c0e9303220dd0104cad8ac803d8c1296)
Return home +9600xp 04_ReturnHome (85ffc0556a57a5d40bdf44ce6adc15af)
Our incredible journey is over! We've received lots of impressions and ideas, and now it's time we head back to the real world!
Now we know everything about our enemy! About her past, about the curse and the punishment she suffered, and about the artifact called Briar, which Nyrissa is so desperately trying to find. This knowledge is invaluable, and may help us greatly in the coming battle!
