Door Temple

"Note: This is player-created lore. Ping @trebby on the Discord if you have questions."The Door Temple is a temple in New Gork dedicated to a philosophy developed around doors. It was established by Wayway in 2329, during season 3.5.

History
Wayway was an eladrin, and struggled to come to terms with her own longevity. After watching numerous shorter-lived loved ones pass on, she knew that platitudes about their souls being in a better place simply weren't the right message to comfort her. She needed to embrace the change itself, to find a way to not only be all right with their absence, but to celebrate the turmoil of change.

To this end, she began worshiping doors—not any god of doors, but the doors themselves. To her, they became a powerful symbol of change, and all that was good about that. She brought her message—that change is good, chaos is excellent, and progress is necessary—to New Gork, where it found a receptive audience, and she gained a small following.

Temple
The temple itself, located in the city of New Gork, is a renovated home with a short tower built atop it. The tower contains a single room just large enough to support the frames of four standard doors, one in each cardinal direction, and two trap doors, one each on the floor and ceiling.

Doorways
As a central image of the philosophy, doors and doorways both carry great importance. The temple suggests pausing a moment as you pass through a doorway, especially as you enter a building, in order to orient your mind for what you plan to do inside.

Keys
Many doors have locks, and keys thus gain importance. They are a portable reminder of the philosophy, and many followers wear a key around their neck. Wayway herself used a key as a weapon in her adventures, and other followers have emulated her example.

New Year
With the philosophy's focus on change, celebrations of the new year are understandably well-supported by the temple. Followers are encouraged to celebrate the changing of the year, and the changing of themselves with it.
