Thought I'd document the creation of my next map as it is made, this is Log No.3

Trobbio has been called to Phobiasis by through a nightmare.

The nightmare heart was lured to the kingdom after being banished from hallownest and trapped in a device of impossible power, the troupe followed it there but had to stop and found ashcamp

The main villain named Lucidian is using the power of the nightmare heart to make the members of the kingdom see their fears to control them, to keep it controlled, Lucidian had seals be placed throughout the kingdom, to help keep the power restrained, seals which trobbio can break, allowing fragments of the heart's power to bleed through into him.  
Lucidian is a moth, one that instead of following the path of dreams, was corrupted by the burning allure of nightmare and fear, the kingdom once flourished under the harnessed light of the radiance, but when it sealed, the light went black, leading the moth that led the kingdom into a fervent search for a replacement, finding the overwhelming force of nightmare.

a bid to re-fuse the nightmare and daydream to become a being able to bring light to his kingdom once more has become twisted into a desire to be adored by all, no matter if they want to or not, styling himself as a benevolent god, using the power of the nightmare heart to give power to their kingdom. yet it is all a façade, crushing dissent and using the nightmare hearts fear to make people believe it never happened. making reality and truth seem so horrifically frightening, that the populace would gladly take the performance of a reality that he imposes.

His ultimate goal is to become the very light that his kingdom worships, absorbing both the power of both daydream and nightmare, being the only one able to make choices while everyone else is entranced in a state of mindless devotion

and yet his second in command has a different objective, kept secret from his master. the Grimmchild, morose from the vessels death, seeks to reunite with them, they scheme to hijack their master's plan, to take the power for themself and use it so seperate the vessel's will from the void's.
