The Way-Light
The Way-Light, also known as The Guiding Hour, That-Which-Lurks-Beneath and The Rain-Walker, is a Moth-Knock-SH Hour created by Nephilim. He is an urban trickster god associated with neon lights, underground clubs, and rain-soaked misty streets. He is known as a mysterious guide to the mortals who seek him, and his intentions never seem to be entirely clear.

Description
Moth - for His trickster nature.
Knock - for the doors He opens for you.
Secret Histories - for all he has seen and known.
History
Appearance
The Way-Light is a wisp. A bright cyan, electric-looking floating wisp. However, he is also capable of masquerading as a human - with the universal traits of cyan eyes, snow-white hair, and pale skin. His "natural" form is a writhing mass of electric cyan tentacles and hundreds of tiny wisps merging and dividing from each-other and pulsing abstract concepts as a form of language, but that is hidden for obvious reasons as he wants to appeal to the mortals he loves so much.

Names
"Hold my hand, please, and don't let go..."
Pulmo, Pathkeeper
Notable Servants
Almia, The Twice-Rebel
The first - and only - Secretarian to have not only left the Scriptorium, but also entered the service of another Hour.
She is a sassy sheep-woman of remarkable loyalty, who is being taught how to be more independent by the Way-Light. Her Secretarian compulsions are mostly gone, now, but there's always something that remains...
The Duke of Ways
An immortal cat. An otherwise ordinary male silver-coated Egyptian Mau, with turquoise eyes.
He was adopted by the Way-Light, who found him as a wounded stray left in a box,and his title was granted to him by the Princess Prominent, along with his characteristic tiny platinum crown. He wears a tiny navy-blue collar with a platinum tag which reads *"I'm not lost - I can find my way!"*
He is often found following his master's trails, or swatting at the fireflies of Piazza Incognito's marble obelisk.
Aside from the slight glow in his eyes, and his unusual adaptation to be able to keep sane and healthy under grand amounts of eldritch influence (Or the direct presence of an undisguised Hour), he is a completely mundane pet.
Locations
The Mansus
The City Of Memories
A strange, anomalous underground city in the Mansus dug into the stone, overlooking the Sea of Mists. It appears as an eclectic mix of various different cities across the Histories, particularly places the Way-Light is fond of. It is dimly lit by wisps and neon lights. Despite being indoors, it is always raining.
Rainwalker Gallery
A permanent exhibition of strange, unique paintings depicting life on the Wake, with a touch of Hourly influence. All if them seem to be in the style of different famous painters, who all deny having created these pieces. (Of course, they were sworn to secrecy.)
It sits behind an unmarked door, never announcing its presence. But it is a jewel to discover.
Piazza Incognito
A round plaza, built into the edge of a cliff, accessible through the City. It has many little cafés and commodities on its sides, and a massive black marble obelisk in the middle lit by ever-present fireflies. You can sit by the railing and see the Sea of Mists from there. The Rain-Walker occasionally holds parties in this place.
