The Uninvited Guest was a ritual to open the Doors of the Fansus, created and empowered by lots of sacrifice; all but one or two of the originally casting cult, even, and after opening the <final door>, which only the Long may pass, enough door-based magical stuff stuck to it, allowing it to gain an identity as an Hour <expanded when people ask
== Appearance ==
The Guest looks like a stereotypical spy type, wide-brimmed hat pulled down, thick trenchcoat wrapped around its body, black gloves and boots; its main notable feature besides the spy getup is eyes that glow, if its eyes are ever -seen-.
== Principles ==
Being a ritual to open things, it has no principle besides Knock, though its Names and cults have others, usually.
== Worship ==
=== Cults ===
There are still remnants of the original cult who cast the ritual to create what was the Guest, though few as many were sacrificed to power/create it, and those who trespass or open hidden things, thieves, rebels, unaffiliated Know, and other such may have a space in their words for it.
=== Mark ===
<Not yet completed, will do more if people care and I find out what doors were in this canon>
First Mark: I've heard of a ritual to pass through any door, even that to the Glory; what is it?
Second Mark: This requires a great power of Knock; <I'm bad with names> will help.
Third Mark: My soul has been sharpened and carved to a key's teeth; I have subverted myself to the principle of opening, which is Knock.
=== Servants ===
* <Better name pending>, an occultist who successfully was able to empower themself with the Guest; has the power of a Name, and a freer Name than most; perhaps they're even right behind you?
* <I'm bad with names>, another member of the cult, who extended their life through some other method, and now sells knowledge of rites to people with rare treasures
* <Zaxxor can't name people>, a master thief, who eventually, they say, was able to break into the House of the Great Serpent; whether there's truth to the rumour or not, they're now a Name of the Guest, and its emissary in <forgot, Shesha i think>
