The Spirarch, also known as the Mediator and That-Which-Binds, is one of the Hours of the Second Fansus, created by Lyrositor. She was the first God-From-Light, to descend from the Glory, arriving shortly after the Mother Bear's awakening. Her primary aspect is Forge, with secondary aspects of Lantern and Knock. She seeks to this day to unite the Glory and the Ground, as she did when she first emerged.

The Spirarch busies herself with bonding and agreements of all kind, preferably their establishment but also, when required, their rupture. She abhors endings, choosing instead to improve that which works and to repurpose that which does not. She is not an unkind Hour, and will advise those in need, but in exchange requires adherence to the paths she has laid out. Those who fail her or, worse, renege on their agreements are always given one more chance, no matter how heinous the offence; those who fail to redeem themselves will be made to do the Spirarch's bidding, one way or another.

Her sole Name, the Martinet, acts as her agent in the Histories, though she retains only nominal control over it nowadays. The Martinet attempted an ascension to Hourhood once, but was rebuffed by the Spirarch, who bound her with the threads of the Histories as punishment. Never again will she rise.
