Dreamfluffs are a humanoid species born from dream shards, pink diamond shaped pieces that float all over the 6 regions . They live for around 250 years and are the only sentient species found.
The species resides within the 6 regions peacefully after the war ended between those of Dream nature and those of Nightmare nature around a thousand years ago. To see their biology click here.
Dream shards are pink diamond shaped shards that appear all over the 6 regions and is what gives birth to Dreamfluffs. As such, its deemed a very important thing and is protected by both knights and everyday citizens.
Everyday citizens shame those they see attempting to grab dream shards or shatter them so majority of fluffs avoid doing anything that can basically disown them from their communities.
A silver tree located at the bottom of the Tower of Dreams. The tree of Wonders is the source of "food" for Dreamfluffs as its the only thing that can produce pearls, the thing they need to consume in order not to die.
Only those working at the pearl factory are allowed to be near the tree. Anyone else will be arrested unless they have a permit to be there.

A giant pink tower with a purple hue on top that existed from the Old World which fluffs found when they reappeared, even if it was in ruins.
The tower was build on top of the Tree of Wonders, and some ancient records were found inside of it.
In current times the tower acts as a library which many go to when seeking knowledge.
Pearls is what fluffs call their true food. They are diamond shaped shards of various colours that are created from the Tree of Wonder's branches. When ripe they fall down into the waters bellow and turn rounder.
Pearls come in every colour and every citizen in every region is given one pouch a year for free . The amount depends on your energy levels.
Energy is a natural thing found in the whole world and is the creation energy of all. Dreamfluffs are created from what is deemed a pure form of this energy ( aka Dream Shards )
This is why only pearls are able to sustain them and is considered their true food. Eating anything that is no pearls gives them, as they call it, "Fake energy", which is common during emergencies

As a species, Dreamfluffs do not dream. While they can sleep and rest , they do not see images in their heads. Its very common for those with dream magic to use it and give people dreams, which became a job of its own.
The only reason they know creatures see images in their heads while sleeping is because of records found from the Old World mentioning humans and dreaming, as well as from observing animals and other creatures in the Dream world.
Humans are a species that fluffs do not know much about. The only information of them is via records from the Old World, which does not provide much context as the majority of them do not go in detail about them.
Humanology became a field of study for Dreamfluffs interested in studying the Old World and humans. Some Dreamfluffs debate if humans are real and think they are just a myth written from the Old world.
The important thing they know is that supposedly, humans are the cause of Dream Shards, which led some places to worship them.
Old World is called everything that has happened before the reappearance of Dreamfluffs. Since Dreamfluffs were born into a world of ruins, they had no context or history of the past aside from records found in the Tower of Dreams and from ruins around them. The Old World has a lot of mysteries and ruins are kept safe for research purposes.

A vast world filled with logic and no logic. It has been explored as far as the 6 regions go, Dreamfluffs settling in these regions and making it their home. Any land around them has been left alone. For how long I wonder...
The Dreamworld has a normal day and night circle. However, regardless of if its night or day, the sky will always have stars present, they are simply more visible during the night.
The day sky has a mix of pink and blue on it. As the Dreamworld is both logical and illogical , there can be locations found where only day or night is present.
There are instances where an object will whisper something when you brush by it for the first time. If for example there is a field, when you touch and pass by the grass and flowers, there’s a chance something will react and whisper something. Spirit voices can be found all over the 6 regions and it became a common occurrence, so most fluffs don't pay attention to it.
✦✦✦
Safe zones are considered the places that are safe for Dreamfluffs to be born at , which are the 6 regions. Dreamfluffs luckily are always born inside them but since birth locations are random, some could possible be born a bit farther. Scouts, which are usually Knights, exist to help newborn fluffs that happen to be born around the area.
Knights exist mostly in Asterolia and they will take the newborns to nearby towns and cities so the locals can take the new one in. In other regions where Knights are not a thing, a newborn will most likey be found by mercenaries or everyday citizens that happens to be around the area. In some other cases, the newborn fluff might find the town on their own after some walking by accident.
Nightmerfluffs as they call themselves are Dreamfluffs born of Dream Shards emitting an unpleasant feeling.
While both types, nightmare and dreams, are technically Dreamfluffs because they are born from Dream shards, (and that's the species name) its not very uncommon for nightmare types to call themselves Nightmerfluffs to distinguish themselves from dream types out of hate.
Most Nightmerfluffs are past the rocky history between dream types and nightmare types but some still tend to keep it in their hearts.
The Great Attack is a major event that shaped fluff history. Astaroh, a nightmare type that became the leader of the first nightmerfluffs to be born, attacked Oneiria city in its infancy when they discovered its existence and the existence of pearls. This attack lead to the first and only war in the specie's history which led many to flee and create their own places, eventually birthing the 6 regions once peace was established.
The war lasted for 10 years with both sides experiencing casualties. It was very brutal and many perished. The only reason it ended was because of monsters called The Masked emerging and attacking the species, which led the two sides to work together in order to fight them off.
✦✦✦
When The Masked were safely fought off and casted away, Isadora and Astaroh, the (yet to be) king and queen of nightmerfluffs and dreamfluffs formed a peace treaty. Oneiria City, called Village of Stars at the time, would provide pearls to everyone, including nightmerfluffs, while nightmerfluffs would not start another war unless the treaty was broken.
This created a new peaceful era and went on to birth many new things, and has been going on for the past thousand years.
The main god Dreamfluffs (mostly those in Asterolia) worship before the moon sisters is the God of Dreams, Aster. Not many records exist about him but there are enough detailing how he created the Dream world and all the great things he had done. All this information has been compiled into a book available for everyone to read.
Aster is considered the main and powerful god while anyone afterwards is considered lower or secondary. Depending on region however this can vary, as not everyone worships or recognize him as their god.
Dreamfluffs believe in the 12 moon sisters, which are said to be goddesses residing in the dreamworld alongside Aster.
They play a big part in some cultures and are the main and only influence in the creation of the calendar, as the twelve goddesses are actual moons found in the sky that take turns every month.

Dreamfluffs have their own spoken and written language. Their language is not gendered so things such as mother and father do no exist canonically, especially since they do not reproduce. However, we will use English for everything so it's easier to do things, so if you'd like to use terms such as mum or dad you can do so, just remember canonically they are just called "parent" or "caretaker" etc.
Aside from that, sign language is something every Dreamfluff knowns as its taught to everyone when they are born. If you'd like your character to not know it, you are more than welcome to do so. Each place can have its own variation of the language (such as dialects or accents) and that includes sign language but overall fluffs will be able to communicate with each other during main events in the group (unless you'd like to use this as a plot point for your story. If so, go ahead, create that misunderstanding )
