The Greywaren is a supernatural entity that is capable of bringing items back from dreams and communicating with them. Objects brought into reality by the Greywaren are often magical, dangerous, or impossible, as the function is based on dream logic. It is mentioned in The Dream Thieves that the type of energy these objects use is called "Dream Energy," which is seemingly limitless and has no visible power source. It has also been proven possible for a Greywaren to bring back a live animal, person, or beast, as shown with Ronan's pet raven Chainsaw. The living things brought back from dreams fall into a deep slumber if their creator dies.
Ronan Lynch is the only known Greywaren, as he is able to interact with his dreams. In The Dream Thieves it is mentioned that there are a lot of dreamers that take from the dreams but only one Greywaren, Ronan, that talks with them.
The Barns[]
The Barns is the name given to the Lynch's family home. It has deep connections with the Greywaren's supernatural capabilities, as Niall Lynch is described to have shaped much of the landscape and the luxuries the Lynch family grew up with. This includes a herd of sleeping cattle that Ronan describes as being like "fairy cows." There are other living animals, such as mice, that are rendered into a deep sleep because of Niall's death. This also includes Niall's dreamt wife, Aurora Lynch. Much of the landscape and surrounding foliage is described as being dream-like, impossible, and magical.
Colin Greenmantle[]
The supernatural artifact curator Colin Greenmantle sent out the Gray Man to retrieve the Greywaren, both of them believing that it was an object and not a person.
