This is the list of all the Doors in this Fansus:
'''The Beautiful Gate''', also known as the ''Royal Door'' or the ''Holy Door'', was the highest Door of the King's House that adepts used to enter in order to become Long. In an act that foreshadowed his future apathy, the Listless King left it slightly ajar when he passed through it when descending from the Glory. It is coated in brass and engraved with depictions of the King's greatest acts, but in recent times the Collision and the passing Wyrmswound have caused this brass coating to begin to flake, revealing an older surface with strange engravings carved into an unknown metal. Each of the double doors depicts a royal figure that is clearly not the Listless King, though its true identity is unknown. On one of the doors, it holds a lantern. On the other, it wields a knife. The Royal Door has became unreliable in recent times, as the Glories are not always close enough to facilitate the process of ascending to Long. Still, it remains more popular than the unstable Blackest Door
'''The Whispering Way''', sometimes known as the ''Door of Harmonies'' or the ''Glass-Tongued Gate'', is the highest point at which mortals could enter the Wyrm's House. It was sometimes played by Her Prescient Serenity, who could commune with its concentric rings of glass to awaken harmonies that could be hears throughout the entire Mansus, though Her Scarred Serenity lacks both the time and the energy to play it nowadays.
'''The Waxway''', also known as the ''Hive Gate'' or the ''Apiary Door'', is the highest point at which mortals could enter the King's House. None remember where the bees first arrived from, but all remember the wondrous honey they produced, favored by the royal Hours of the House and their aristocratic children. It is located in the Sugared Swamp, where the Confectionist holds court
There is however one issue. The Door of Harmonies has a fourth title as well, one that it shares with the Hive Gate. Both doors are Vak, but they're not the same Vak. There are subtle differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation that have led to a bitter strife between the twin Gates, even as the Hours who speak Vak could not care less about the other House's accent. The Glass Gate emits shattering melodies from the depths of its pipes to break the frames of the Apiary Door, and the bees of the Hive Gate swarm over the consoles of the Gate of Harmonies ever eager to descend into its innards and bite at the glass rings and pipes. Hours, Long, and mortals have all urged the Doors to stop their feud as the honey runs dry and the harmonies grow discordant, but the Doors show no signs of ceasing.
