Reasons why one
should never build
doors facing north or
west. Many centuries
ago, the prophet,
Father Antos, fortold
the coming of a plague
of Locust that would
arrive from the lands
to the north. He
predicted that their
source area was so
important that it would
indicate who would
survive the attack, and
who would not. He
predicted that anyone
living in a house
having a door with a
northern exposure
would perish under the
onslaught. Two days
later, the locusts
came, and in the
aftermath, it was
discovered that only
the houses with doors
on the north wall were
destroyed.
.....The naturalist, Ergan, incorporating Algarth's discovery that the sun rises from the east, theorized that the nightly path of many dark-dwelling nasties could be traced. As the sun moves slowly to the west, Ergan contends, shadows increase in the east, forcing monsters to move that direction to stay out of the sun. Therefore, as denizens of the dark travel from the west, they are more likely to invade households with doors that directly cross their paths.
