The Door. A being of thresholds and choices. It does not fight — it opens. Or closes. Its power lies in the moment between, when the traveler must decide. The Door does not judge, but it remembers every step taken through it.
The roles of the path: The Student learns and accompanies, the Astrologer reads the sky and finds direction, the Traveler does not linger anywhere longer than needed.
The method long remained the knowledge of a few: the church hierarchies were in no hurry to reveal it, and many otherworldly beings rose blindly, paying for it with their sanity.
