In bygone eras, Baejaal was designated as the God of Dreams.   Dreams were believed to be a subconscious form of prayer.   The ancient Order of Baejaal was dedicated to sleep studies, deep trance meditation and the interpretation of dreams.   Little is known about this Order due to it being disbanded so long ago.   Any written records kept by the adherent priests and priestesses were lost or destroyed, along with any books and scrolls of scripture.

On one occasion, he left a prayer unanswered.   The other deities scorned him and declared him an outcast.   His ...
