===Principles===
The Thorned Courier wields Knock, that he may travel anywhere, past any obstacles. He cannot be denied entry. He also wields Moth, for his sense of mischief and the chaos he causes.
==Worship==
===Cult===
The Thorned Courier is seldom worshipped, for he is an intermediary, not a leader himself. But he is often invoked, and the Society of Swift Speech are masters of this. They have members in every city of every nation, strategically placed so that they work at or near locations where messages or people travel frequently. Such as post offices, harbours, and telephone operators. They consolidate power through methods akin to embezzling money, and are known in the paranormal community for being one of the most reliable courier organisations, provided that they're paid well enough. Despite being spread far across the world, they still manage to communicate swiftly, and therefore maintain a solid community amongst themselves.
===Mark===
# '''Temptation: Loneliness: My friends are few and far between, and we do not speak often. There has to be a better way.
# '''Dedication: A Snippet of Speech: I heard the wind whisper to the trees, and the ground hum to the sky. If I can work my way into the natural order, perhaps I can communicate better with the world.
# '''Ascension: Whispers in the Wind: I must be fleet of foot, and leave few prints. I haven't eaten in days.
# '''Ascension: Whispers in the Wind: Even when I whisper, my voice carries across the room. It is difficult to keep secrets.
# '''Ascension: Whispers in the Wind: My clothes have many pockets, but I need more, beneath my skin.
# '''Ascension: Whispers in the Wind: My body is a shade of what it once was, but no gate can bar my entry.
# '''Ending''': I haven't worked my way into the natural order, but I have learnt some of their secrets. I will speak to the air and it will carry my message to whomever I choose. I will outrun the devil of age, and I will not grow old.

|start_description = Summoning Hermes is similar to hailing a cab. Lantern to make him aware of us, and Moth to assure him that it is not expected to stay long.
|description = Hermes is not one for flashy entrances. We blink, and there he stands. Waiting expectantly for a message or parcel, and to be told where to take them.
