The Spider's Door

'In my dreams, I've found the way to the Spider's Door, sometimes called the Bloody Gate or, more informally, the Wrong Door.'

- Entry Text

Way: The Spider's Door can be reached by Dreaming on Way: Through the Stag Door with a Grail, Lantern or Knock Lore fragment of the eighth magnitude or higher.

The Spider's Door, also known as the Bloody Gate, the Serpent Gate, and, informally, the Wrong Door,[20][21] requires the spilling of fresh blood for dreamers to pass.[22][23] It is sacred to the Mother of Ants[24][25] and is opened by the Key of Night, which the Hooded Princes once used to travel between Histories. The Key is now held by their daughter, Sulochana the Ligeian.

Notable Locations

• The Silken Sands: A whispering gray desert within the House. It is inhabited by "arced, unseen, slow-steeping residents", and contains the Spider's Door.[26]
• The Malleary: The workplace of the Forge of Days, and the location where the Intercalate occured. It is a place of fiery transformation, from which none emerge unchanged.[27]
• The Concursum: The crossroads of the Mansus, also called the Chamber of Ways, the Chamber of Revelations, the Chamber of Choices, Conclusions, Beginnings, Endings, Mirrors, and Histories. Once, the highest rites of the Church of the Unconquered Sun were performed here. Many of the Hours can often be seen passing through this chamber.[28][29]
