==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.  Quietly nestled in the backyard of the Chantry's elected Keeper Of the House, [[Eloise]], several people gathered to hear what she and [[Gwydion]] had to say about the idea of forming an 'open door' Chantry where willworkers 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 willworkers of nearly any paradigm could come and share their knowledge of reality in a peaceful and constructive fashion.
 
<br><br>
 
It was decided unanimously that Eloise would run as 'Keeper of the House' and she and Gwydion would be a first point of contact for new magi coming into the city. There is a known 'mail drop' at Prospect Roasters, where the chantry is housed in the basement.  A letter to the 'owner' that can be an actual letter of recommendation or simply a  name and phone number for those more concerned with privacy can be dropped into the 'comments' box at the front. Eloise is the only one with a key. This is known to be a safe and effective way of getting an intro to the city.

Given the title of 'Keeper of the House', she is merely a figurehead, a point of contact for new and arriving magi and, if necessary, the deciding vote on issues that come up.  While guests are in the Chantry they are asked to be mindful of their Manners and respectful to all who enter. <br><br>

Ostiorum Domus de Multis
(House of Many Doors)
One destination, many paths

 

There are so many doors to open. I am impatient to begin.
-Charlie Gordon, Flowers for Algernon


The House of Many Doors is an open-door chantry, where members can come and go without strict adherence to formality, oaths of obedience and secrecy. Part safe-house and part discussion forum, willworkers of nearly any paradigm can come and share their knowledge of reality in a peaceful and constructive fashion.

The chantry leaders are a first point of contact for new magi coming into the city. There is a mail drop at Prospect Roasters for this purpose.
