I like it, it's interesting.

I was just thinking, though, for the backstory, maybe the dreams (given that we're going for a more surreal vibe here, we might want to change from "hallows" to "dreams", which would, of course, necessitate changing the title from Last Hallow or Final Hallow or whatever I decided on calling it) are created by mysterious beings that are never really explained, but some of whom might be analogues for Nexus deities (gods, Titans, etc.). The beings are eccentric, having quirks and oddities that are reflected in their work (that is to say, the dreams they create).

One of these beings created Light World as a place for dead or dying children to be at peace, out of sympathy for them. However, this being was of a dualistic nature, having two personalities - one kind and compassionate, the other crazed and destructive. One particular child, a strange one who's contributions to the dream reflected violence and destruction, reached out to the mad personality, and the mad personality tricked him into performing a rite which would allow him to gain control over the dream. The other peronality vanished, no one knows where, and Light World became corrupted under the rule of the dark child.

Just brainstorming.
