Souls

Souls are the denizens of the Dreamscape. They were normal people that simply died or fell asleep. Souls who are in the Dreamscape while asleep are called "Sleepers." It's common for souls to pledge allegiance to a lord, serving him in exchange for protection or other perks. Wandering, unaligned souls don't usually get far.

It's looked down upon to kill a sleeper in most parts of the scape, they have no stake in the infernal politics of the afterlife.

Specific types of souls are listed below.

Citizen Souls
Average souls trying to make it in a harsh existence. They've settled in a lord's domain, and generally don't leave unless the lord is killed somehow. Farmers, shopkeepers, merchants, nobles (not lords), are all citizens.

Mad Souls
Mad souls have gone through death within the Dreamscape, going through limbo. They come out much different than when they initially passed, crazed and disturbed mentally. Most lords turn them away, but some lords like Caligula in particular allow them into the fold.

Skeletal Souls
All of Pizarro's citizens are part of his military, though many of them just run errands most of the time. The souls under his command are offered a permanent residence and a tougher, more intimidating skeletal form. They don't have to worry about food, drink, or air like other souls. Otherwise they're about the same as any other soul.
