The Door

A focus of Adventure: The Door in Reality and Sub-Plot: The Door. See Reflections on The Door for some meta-context. A strange black monolith inside the trunk of a large tree at The Skyway. It doesn't seem to have a real shape - when looking on it, it flickers between infinite similar forms and materials, making it appear to vibrate. When someone focuses on it, they may experience distant places and times, via The World's Psychic Maelstrom. It may be some kind of mecha, or a door in reality, or something else entirely. At the end of the aforementioned adventure, most of Those Who Will Open The Door come into contact with The Door, causing reality to branch as it resolves into various forms and generates various effects. To many, it is a portal to other realities.

Custom Move

In the Apocalypse World system, The Door has a custom move: Staring at The Door triggers Open Your Brain, but the knowledge learned may not be about the current situation.

Purpose / Function

It is unclear if The Door was constructed at all, let alone with any purpose in mind. Perhaps some of its potential forms have clearer purposes than others.

Sensory & Appearance

The cavity within a great tree that contains The Door has an air of reverence and importance. The Door itself seems to vibrate in the centre of this space - a viewer cannot seem to focus on it, leaving its true form and material unclear.
