(Slumber) Hypnos, the Narcolepter

Lore[]

No longer donning his mask, Hypnos gently lights the foreheads of the sleepless with the pale "Flame of Slumber". Whoever this flame consumes is put into a deep sleep, and as long as the flame is not extinguished, is destined to sleep forever.

Acquisition[]

See Hypnos, the Narcolepter.

Name Origin[]

In Greek mythology, Hypnos (Greek: Ὕπνος, "sleep") was the personification of sleep; the Roman equivalent was known as Somnus. Hypnos lived in a cave, next to his twin brother Thanatos (Θάνατος, "death personified") in the underworld. Hypnos' mother was Nyx (Νύξ, "Night"), the deity of Night, and his father was Erebus, the deity of Darkness. His wife, Pasithea, was one of the youngest of the Graces and the deity of hallucination or relaxation.
