This primordial Tradition stands for the dispossed, for those whose cultures have been overthrown. These shamans, joined in a marriage of convenience, find a common cause in the fate of the spirit landscape, a fate their own people understand. Some Traditions battle the Technocracy out of idealism, for the Dreamspeakers the fight is personal.

The people of this Tradition have have a rough time. During the Age of Exploration their lands where seized. Many European mages pontifcated about 'progress', so many Dreamspeakers went back home, or grew bitter with their counterparts. Even today a nasty undercurrent exists between native Dreamspeakers and those who's ancestors stole their lands. Even trhough this the Traditions fortunes have recently risen. As industry goobles up nature, even Sleepers are returning to the old ways. To this Tradition, all things are sacred and alive, even less militant members defend their lands.

Of all the Traditions the Dreamspeakers are probably the most diverse, this makes for both strength and a liability. As they have no internal politics to concern themselves with and no leaders to strike at, the Dreamspeakers are a resilient bunch. Some Dreamspeakers are kindly visionaries while others have led the war-path. All share a common bond with the Earth and Her spirit children.

The Dreamspeaker Tradition sphere is Spirit, some of the common foci are: bones, feathers, dances, music and song, ordeals, prayers, images, natural drugs.
