Backstory: The keeper of the gate welcomes all

At the threshold between worlds stands the Keeper of the Gate, a figure neither entirely human nor entirely divine.

Rooted at the centre of a vast living labyrinth, the Keeper opens the passage between the known and the unknowable. All around, countless forms surge and gather – serpents, spirits, wandering creatures, fragments of memory, and unfinished ideas – all seeking entry. – L/C
