Adagmos, the Dreaming Serpent is a Apocryphal Lunar Patron or Maslunim.
Overview[]

<<No need to hide, little wolf, I saw you in my dreams long ago. I had my servants remove all the sharp stones from under that laurel so that you would be comfortable as you lay there. I heard your heart swell when you looked upon me for the first time.>>
Adagmos is a spirit of lust and dream, inspiration and madness. He is drawn to struggles having to do with love and sexual desire, or to those who use these as a muse. He is also believed to be the most gifted lunar prophet next to Luna herself. He encompasses the aspects of physical beauty, desire, madness, prophecy, art and dream attributed to the Moon.
Adagmos often appears as a beautiful sleeping youth or a serpent basking half in shadow, half in light. His eyes appear half-open, but unfocused, yet Adagmos's perception is keen and thoughtful when he wishes it to be. When Adagmos actually sleeps, his dreams often manifest in the Shadow and spill over into the material world. Luna herself may still frequent his bed, and he has also been known to take Forsaken as his lovers as well.
Unlike many other Maslunim, Adagmos, seems very even-tempered, even disinterested in Shadow politics. But, when his limits are reached, his vengeance is always disproportionate, cruel and irrational. Adagmos has very long fuse, but one it has burnt down, he explodes with a holocaust of retribution.
This Maslunim rests in the Shadow of a small Greek isle surrounded by a thick wood filled with his servants. Adagmos's brood includes Cahalunim (the Gibbous Moon Choir), Elunim (the Half-Moon Choir), Irralunim (the New Moon Choir), natural spirits (serpents), conceptuals (dream, temptation), emotionals (love) and elementals (heat and light). He may also deal with spirits of sloth and lust.
Adagmos would be a good patron for crusades having to do with love and lust - perhaps an attempt to restores a wolf-blooded bloodline. Adagmos may also start a crusade based on one of his prophetic dreams, in which he foresees a great danger - one that threatens the balance of the spirit world, Luna or his interests. He may rouse Forsaken to take care of this threat.
In a darker crusade, he may just dream the whole thing up - meaning the crusade ends up being the mad nightmare of Adagmos. The characters discover they are being manipulated by the dreams of a mad godling. The only way to stop it is to find his lair and wake him up.
Lashnar and and Adagmos have a very tumultuous relationship as both claim to be the Moon's lovers. Adagmos's positive dealings with some Helions also angers Lashnar - though Adagmos typically plays off his rivalry as mere diversion.
