House of Many Doors

House of Many Doors "Ostiorum Domus De Multis" One destination, Many Paths

Cool Text Goes here. History Origin What began as a gathering of the magi of Prospect at a small cottage in the woods ended in the formation of a chantry. How many people can say that they accomplished that over a few beers and cupcakes? Quietly nestled in the backyard of the Chantry's first House Mom, Eloise, several people gathered to hear what she and Gwydion had to say about the idea of forming an 'open door' Chantry where Magi could come and go without the strict adherence to formality, oaths of obedience and secrecy. The Chantry would operate as part safe-house and part discussion forum whereby Magi of nearly any paradigm could come and share their knowledge of reality in a peaceful and constructive fashion. When the issue of leadership for the Chantry was raised, a Hollow One by the name of Wyck explained that among his folk, the owner of the space people are visiting makes the rules and that, put simply, it was Eloise's own property that she was volunteering for such a project. Rather than invest her as a High Priestess, he explained that the Hollow Ones have a practical approach to governance; relying on simple titles that can convey in a single word how one should address and deal with the person who has been chosen to fill the role of facilitator and coordinator, or as he would name it "Mom". Recent History It's been only a few days but... Policies      As this is an 'Open Doors' Chantry the policies about membership are quite simple but functional. As you would with anyone's house the rules are mostly forms of politeness extended to both the host and any guests present. Don't bring harm to any within the Chantry. Don't bring any outside harm to the Chantry. Leave your Drama at the door. The "Leadership" of the Chantry was given to the woman who called the magi of Prospect together to discuss its formation, Eloise. Given the name "House Mom" by a rather impetuous Hollow One, she has no more authority than one would have over their own house. While guests are in the Chantry they are asked to be mindful of their Manners and respectful of her position. Essentially a coordinator of the activities of the Chantry, the House Mom is usually the 'go-to' person should anything happen or need to happen within the Chantry.
