Oneiros
Eternally blessed by the night sky
May the stars guide me on my way
With hope in hour hearts, we move forward
May your dreams take you starward
— A fragment of “Ode to Stardust”, the anthem of Oneiros.
Oneiros is a city located in the eternally nightlit country of Noct. In contrast to Noct's gothic visuals, Oneiros carries the visuals of a more fantastical, fairytale-like world. The colors of blue and gold, as well as themes and motifs of the stars and cosmsos, seem to be common. Cartographers say it is somewhere near Noct's landmark (floating?) crystal, Lumina. which can be seen all the way from Oneiros if one is standing on a tall enough vantage point, but in reality, it sits close to the neighbouring land of Aetheria, making it a perfect place for people from all over Castrella to better appreciate all sort of celestial events.
Being slightly up north makes its neutral climate harbor slightly lower temperatures than usual, something especially notable during the season of Frost. Its citizens are called Dreamers.

Trivia
- “May your dreams take you starward” is a common motivational saying in Oneiros, it basically means “Keep chasing your dreams”.
- Dreamers are said to have a deeper emotional attachment to the skies above them than people from other towns, having been born and raised amidst Noct's usual darkness, things like stars, constellations, meteor showers, and other celestial phenomena carry major importance to them. Bringing a major focus on enjoying the fleeting moments of life, and living in the moment, rather than lingering in the past, or future.
