"They are called the Dreamers.  They look like sleeping children.  They are, fact, Gods.
There are eight elder Gods, four awake, four asleep, by turns.  When they sleep, they sleep for eons.  The only time the Gods are vulnerable is when the sleepers awake.
Knowing this, the Ruler of the Wasteland, ambitious to become a God by destroying Gods, watches and waits, marshalling troops for war.  So it is that the coming of the Dreamers passes unnoticed in the Wasteland.  But the world is soon out of kilter, it is being dreamed, and the awakening of Gods is not simple transition."
