-'''The Insidious''' ('''The Woken Breath''', '''The Hooded Horde''') is the Twenty-Eighth Hour of the Fansus, created by [[User:Stone|Stone]]. It is a God-From-Nowhere. Its aspects are [[Knock]] and [[Winter]] in decreasing order of importance. During the War of Doors, many new ways were opened, each a tear in the fabric of the Fansus. Through each tear, a little bit of Nowhere crept in. These fragments blew together, repulsed by what is, seeking comfort in their fellows. In the forgotten corners of the wood they gathered, the only sign of their passing a gentle swaying of the trees. Over time, such as it is in the House of the Snake, the fragments met and coalesced, consolidating their power, a shadow darkening the wood. Now they are recognized as an hour in their own right, a hive of creeping cold found in the most tenebrous corners of this place.

Whisper its name in the shadows, and maybe the shadows will follow you.

-* '''The Darker Groves:''' Since the coalescence of The Hooded Horde certain areas in The Wood have grown more shadowy, even dangerous. A strange darkness has gathered in the roots and branches of those ancient trees. These are the areas of the house that are sacred to to followers of The Insidious and the areas where its influence is strongest. It’s spreading influence has disturbed the sanctuaries sacred to the Elder Sister especially, who finds that individual shadows are easily captured and amusing for a while, but their tendency to slip through the seals of jars grows tiresome. She prefers to be the only hour capable of being mysterious and shadowy in the woods so doesn’t take too kindly to the darkening of woods without her permission. The several skirmishes that have been perpetrated by members of the court have so far been more similar to pest control than open war. While the Horde is slow to stir, some of the Cousins that roam far from court have begin to disappear, the only trace of their passing a whisper in the trees.

It is uncertain whether these rooms were ever occupied or if they simply lie in wait for a strength to claim them. With the growing power of The Insidious, shadow has spread from the wood, climbing so high as to fill the bare spaces of the middle house.

		+	* '''The Gods of the Wood, Volume IV:'''
		+	In the fourth Volume in her series regarding the Wood Hours, Uriella speaks at some length about her wanderings in the darker groves of the Wood and what she found there.
		+
		+	Uriella details the nature of the shadows that dwell there, their apparent collectivism, and the way they seem to flee before her even in dreams. She goes on to recall the god local thieves worship, a thing of surreptitious entry and subtle caution.
		+
		+	In her final forays into the dark parts of the wood, Uriella recounts the increasing hostility of the shadows that dwell there. Rather than flee from her they gather among the trees, flitting from cover to cover in vaguely humanoid forms. She recollects their presence as an oppressive weight, and one can't help but notice a certain amount of fear creeping into her writing. In the final line of the volume, she addresses the reader directly; "Do not try the Shades that dwell in those woods, or you might find shadows living in more than just your dreams."
