'''The Spirarch''', also known as '''the Mediator''' and '''That-Which-Binds''', is one of the Hours of [[the Second Fansus]], created by [[User:Lyrositor|Lyrositor]]. She was the first [[:Category:Gods-From-Light|God-From-Light]], to descend from the Glory, arriving shortly after [[the Mother Bear]]'s awakening. Her primary aspect is [[:Category:Forge|Forge]], with secondary aspects of [[:Category:Lantern|Lantern]] and [[:Category:Knock|Knock]]. She seeks to this day to unite the Glory and the Ground, as she did when she first emerged.
The Spirarch busies herself with bonding and agreements of all kind, preferably their establishment but also, when required, their rupture. She abhors endings, choosing instead to improve that which works and to repurpose that which does not. She is not an unkind Hour, and will advise those in need, but in exchange requires adherence to the paths she has laid out. Those who fail her or, worse, renege on their agreements are always given one more chance, no matter how heinous the offence; those who fail to redeem themselves will be made to do the Spirarch's bidding, one way or another.
== History ==
Before the Spirarch was extant, there were the Roots, themselves almost as old as the Glory itself. The remnants of a mistake from eons past, they surrounded the Glory from the inside and drank greedily of its light, siphoning endlessly. When the Other Place collapsed, the Glory was extinguished with it, and the Roots slept with their stolen energy. With the collapse, however, came another Hour, which had managed to escape into the Glory, disintegrating itself in the process. Some remnant of it endured, however, and lay dormant as the Light dimmed and went out.
=== The Awakening ===
When [[the Mother Bear]] awoke, the Glory reignited, followed by the Roots, who began to drink of it once more. As they did so, they ingested the particular fragments of the escaped Hour, beginning a slow but irreversible transformation in the process. For the first time, the Light was being given purpose, and the Roots grew downward, reaching slowly but surely for the ground far below. In the year 428 B.C.E., the Spirarch's white roots - now rapidly taking on the appearance of branches - were first seen emerging from the Glory, and shortly afterward it had grown almost all the way to the ground below.
