Biography
Culpasi was one of the nine leaders, the Somnovem, of the Aeorian neighborhood called Cognouza. Those leaders led the ward to escape the destruction of Aeor by the gods and transport themselves into the Astral Sea, where they encountered a psychic storm that racked every mind and spirit and shattered them until they became one with their own city. Thousands of people and the Somnovem that guided them were broken, and over time slowly reformed, powerful, the instinct of their dreams driving them, in a place where they could will their dreams to be, were their will not so fragmented.

Culpasi has not been encountered by the party, but their named eye attack by Lucien (when he was transformed into the composite Neo-Somnovem) caused intense guilt that could be resisted by a constitution saving throw. The guilt caused disadvantage on saving throws and psychic damage whenever the target hit the enemy.
