 History/Relationships:  Brunhilde is a childlike deity, massive in size with a young girl’s head and a body that shifts, generally a monstrous creature of some sort or another, ranging from dragons to bullets and creatures beyond this world, but always keeping the gleeful, childlike eagerness and joy, and the often disturbingly childish face. The history of Brunhilde is a hotly contested topic among her followers, with some arguing that she held a vastly different portfolio, or was a vastly different deity. Others contend she has always represented dreams and madness. She sleeps eternally, rarely acting, but even when she does, only as a sleep walker. Her dreams take her into a variety of wild stories and madness, and any communications with the dreamlocked deity have revealed a manic detachment from reality. Despite this, she always shows a deep understanding of things, her nonsense giving the answer but often in ways the asker is unable to fully comprehend. When sleep walking, she is known to prop her ladder against raw space and try to climb into the black spots between stars.

 Dogma:  Dreams are the means to find new understanding. In a dream you learn to stop asking questions like why and that allows for true empathy and thus understanding. Always find a new way at a problem, the way nobody would expect, and try it. It might work. Take care of the metacreative (the insane) and only hope that one day you can join their ranks, detached from reality and understanding everything.  Clergy and Temples:  The worshipers of Brunhilde tend to be those who deal with madness often. Workers at mad houses are very common patrons, though a number of wanderers, adventurers and creative types take her as their patron, considering her their muse to greater and more interesting creations. Indeed, her followers often have some of the most provocative, deep and disturbing art.
