Time for more lore! You probably didn’t know that the Dreambears, like us, had their own Renaissance, did you? Well, here it is.

About 150 years ago, the greatest change in history came to the Dreambear race, as their cultural and scientific development suddenly lead to a whirlwind of innovation and progress: The Dreambear Renaissance. Mirroring our own Renaissance, the life of the Dreambears, with Great Beronia at its heart, changed forever.

Where they had first been a nomadic, roaming race, filling their days with hunting dreams and playing freely in the wild, the settling of the tribes in various places, forming the first villages, and the subsequent start of technological innovation and science, caused their culture to leap forward. The standard of life went up, a certain sophistication rained down on everyone’s heads and the inhabitants of the land became true ladies and gentlebears.

Kick-starting this revolution were the rise of schools and education, and the curious and inquisitive nature of the Dreambears finally finding an output in science and invention. During those times, 150 years ago, many a workshop or attic would suddenly have their windows opened, a joyous inventor poking out and shouting ‘Eureka!’ Those days gave rise to many great new boons to civilization. Zeppelin-designs still used today were invented then. The Bellows were created, which greatly facilitated the distribution of Dream Orbs. Architectural miracles took place with great palaces, halls and squares being built through steadfast dedication and craftsmanship. Culturally, new music was invented and stars and legends in every field took their place. Dreamcatchers no longer had to go after the wild Dreams BEARhanded (somebody come shoot us). All of Great Beronia celebrated their newfound wisdom and culture!

So there you have it… the Dreambear Renaissance. There may even be a little DaVinci bear running around somewhere.
