From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See more characters of the Xanth series by Piers Anthony at List of Xanth characters.
The Gourd is the headquarters of the Night Stallion where nightmares are made.
Contents |
He rules the nightmare land inside the Gourd. Also known as Trojan and The Horse of Another Color. He does not (possibly cannot) leave the Gourd himself, but sends the Night Mares to deliver nightmares to dreamers. Smash Ogre fought with him to regain his soul in Ogre, Ogre after trading it for Tandy's, which she had lost by trickery earlier.
The Mares deliver bad dreams to the deserving.
She was introduced in Ogre, Ogre and then seen in Night Mare. She was the last of the Nextwave Kings. After her death she reemerged as a Day Mare. She becomes a tree nymph in Faun & Games.
In Isle of View, Chex Centaur was forced by the demon/cloud Fracto to land on Mare Nectaris' section of the moon. Mare Nectaris and Night Stallion helped Chex escape by crafting a dream so sweet that it disgusted Fracto.
Marrow first appeared in Vale of the Vole, where he helped in defeating the demons who mangled the curves of the Kiss-Me-River. Marrow then reappeared in Heaven Cent as Dolph's adult copanion.
Grac'l is a skeleton from the realm of the gourd. Friend to Marrow, she helps Dor find Electra in his quest.
