Nightmare Court
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
The Nightmare Court is a home to those sylvari who reject the Ventari Tablet's teachings, embrace the nightmares encountered within the Dream of Dreams, and are attempting to understand them, whilst giving life to them with acts of evil. It was founded by the thirteenth sylvari, Cadeyrn of the secondborn, but is currently lead by Faolain of the firstborn.[1] The primary goal of the Nightmare Court is to corrupt the Pale Tree herself, bringing her around to their twisted ideals so that the sylvari may be freed from the shackles of Ventari's Tablet and replace this philosophy of a centaur and a human by one which is uniquely sylvari.
The sylvari in the Nightmare Court don't consider themselves "perverse"; some wouldn't even think of themselves as "evil". They have chosen a path they think is correct and are willing to convince other sylvari to choose the same path.[2] Once within the court, their converts are forced to commit dreadful acts that destroy every last ounce of virtue they may have left. To achieve this, the Nightmare Court holds Dark Vigils, which consist of depraved tournaments and other detestable acts, all the while contributing to the growing nightmare within the dream.
