“The gate did not open for the strongest. It opened for the honest.”
Gatepyre lowers his tablet only for a spoken truth.

Rare · One of 25
Hearty and unmoving once he takes his post, his signature behavior is raising his blank stone tablet at a doorway and refusing to lower it until everyone passing through has told one true thing.

The night was long, but it was never permanent.
Where he stands
The roads around him
The living story
Gatepyre was born where a prison gate met a hero's pyre: Bi'an's tiger-formed justice in his scales, Heracles Ascendant's risen fire in his shoulders. From his first day he chose a doorway, planted his clawed feet, and would not be moved.
He stands at his gate now, tablet raised, nose twitching at a half-truth someone is trying to carry past him. The pyre flames are rising. The half-truth is not getting through.
When a keeper finally tells Gatepyre a truth they have never said aloud, the first line will carve itself into his blank tablet — and he will lower it, step aside, and laugh like a hero at dawn.
What others saw
“The gate did not open for the strongest. It opened for the honest.”
Gatepyre lowers his tablet only for a spoken truth.
“His flames do not burn liars. They just make lying very warm and very obvious.”
Watch the pyre light at Gatepyre's shoulders when a story changes mid-telling.
