=====The Fourth Sleeper, the Queen of the Lost Road=====

====Background====

The Queen is a rather melancholy woman associated with a Dream phenomenon known as the Lost Road; a path
which leads to //either// alternate realities in which events in the past have turned out differently to this
life, //or// potent Dreams of such alternate realities, depending on who you ask (the Queen herself claims that
the distinction is academic, but then, she is a dream power). She claims to have only limited power over
the Lost Road and where it can take people, although such claims are obviously difficult to verify. Unlike [[third sleeper|certain]] [[fifth sleeper|other]] Sleepers, she doesn't **appear** to have any plans to destroy, assimilate,
corrupt, or conquer the waking world.

====Recent Events====

The Lost Road drew Harriet Pinter and certain acquaintances into an 'alternate reality' in which the Necromancer
of Three Rivers had brought his plans to fruition (Ashes to Ashes, 21/06/08).

An 'alternate reality' in which the Light had been bound, leaving the Dark as a tangible (and dangerous)
force, touched on the waking world; the exact role of the Lost Road was not clear, however (Dark Dreams,
21/02/09 and Drive Back the Dark, 02/05/2009).

It emerged that the Fourth Sleeper had used her powers to preserve a village related to her former, mortal
identity in a Dream time loop for six years, and thereby allowed it to be rescued by a party of adventurers
from a disaster caused by the [[Fifth Sleeper]] (Monday, Bloody Monday, 31/10/09)
