Greetings from the House of Al-Quadim!
Sadly, I do not know much. And much of what I do know may be mistaken or misconstrued.
But I shall attempt to summarize what I do know for yourself and others who
care to listen to my inadequate tongue.
What little I do know is from my direct interaction with Insomnia. I am certain
others have more to offer in his History.
Insomnia is a powerful Elemental. I believe of Death. He was released from the
control of one I believed named Midian by some unknown entity. Since his release,
he has sporadically gone on rampages of death and destruction. He is haughty-
but has always treated myself with honor and dignity. He is given to eloquent
rants, broken by seemingly random killing sprees. He is able to Rift through
Wards and Circles of Power, though the presence of a Harmonic Rest seems to
keep him at bay- though this may change. His blows are mighty and bring Death
if they breach your armour and Protectives. He is also able to Magically Sleep
those who draw his wrath. I have seen him walk about and not harm anyone unless
provoked. He has also allowed me to retrieve those who have fallen under his
wrath and to bring them to safety to be healed. Whenever we came to blows, I
struck him for Magical damage. I am unaware if any other form of damage affects
his form. Oh yes, he is very skilled in wielding a two-handed sword.
Insomnia is a worthy opponent. Intelligent, honorable and skilled. Personally,
I recommend avoiding direct contact with Insomnia. If however, you are graced
by his immediate presence, I recommend being respectful and not provoking or
demeaning in your interactions. I also recommend keeping a spare set of clothing
available at the Healer's Guild in case things go badly for you.
I recommend seeking out myself and others who may know more of his history.
I shall make all attempts to learn more of this information and to be available
at the next Gathering.
Thank you for your time.
