Plain-language recordThe short version.
DreadBorn is a name attached to a major threat that witnesses still cannot describe in one agreed way. People agree that the danger is real long before they agree on exactly what carries the name.
Current knowledgeWhat the Codex treats as established
Reliable reports do not yet prove one species, one origin, or one body behind every DreadBorn account.
The uncertainty is part of the warning. A traveler should not wait for a perfect label before treating a confirmed DreadBorn event as dangerous.
Disputed accountsWhat is still argued or uncertain
Records do not agree on whether DreadBorn names one species, several related beings, or a broader kind of threat.
01 · Record typeUniversal threat
Threat record. This tells you what kind of thing the entry is before similar names or nearby ideas cause confusion.
02 · How to read itThreat record
Universal Threat is a danger rating, not a species. The label means the threat could endanger whole civilizations, whether it is a creature, an army, a cosmic wound, or something stranger.
03 · Why it mattersPlace in the larger story
DreadBorn turns uncertainty into part of survival: knowing that something is dangerous may have to come before knowing exactly what it is.
