A necklace that snares the weaver of dreams

Speak the words, strum the webbing, and the Dreamweaver answers — bound. But the relic hungers: each binding is paid for in a death, and the webbing remembers every one.

Overview

The Dreamcatcher is a necklace relic worn by Wolfgang. Spoken with its command-phrase — “Dreamweaver, I know you can help me get me through the night” — and a strum of its webbing, it summons and binds the Dreamweaver.

When attuned, it grants advantage against charm and sleep effects, plus a once-per-long-rest Dream Manipulation that lets the bearer control one sleeping target within 60 feet. But its power has a Horcrux-like cost: it must be “charged” by a death — first Lilith’s, then Wolfgang’s and the Dreamweaver’s.

In Ch 2.9 the party captured the Dreamweaver inside the relic. Afterward it is charred and emptied of its darkness, yet it retains its base properties.

Appearances

  • 260610-ch4.8 (⏱ 20:22:50) — Foulclaw’s necklace channeling the powers of the (now-dead) Dreamweaver; humming the Dreamweaver tune grants advantage against being charmed or put to sleep.
  • 250131-ch2.5 (⏱ 00:34:24) — A dreamcatcher Wolfgang wears around his neck; he glances at it before distressedly changing course toward the Dark Woods.
  • 250303-ch2.7 (⏱ 00:33:09) — The necklace worn by Wolfgang through which he communicates with the Dreamweaver; the party considers taking it to disrupt that link.
  • 250314-ch2.8 (⏱ 04:04:15) — The instrument Wolfgang carries and strums like a harp to summon the Dreamweaver, seen in the final memory-vision when he put TBD to sleep.
  • 250412-ch2.9 (⏱ 00:09:24:04) — A dangerous relic worn by Wolfgang that summons and can control the Dreamweaver (‘Dreamweaver, I believe you can get me through the night’), grants advantage vs charm/sleep, and can cast Dream Manipulation. The party captures the mist in it and Foulclaw keeps it.
