The Bone Shadows of the Lodge of Doors take their tribal philosophy of the quest for knowledge and the constant need for discovery and make the philosophy a way of life. Some Bone Shadows are detectives who abhor mysteries and wish to see the truth behind any façade, while others are thrillseekers looking for amusement by opening doors they know are forbidden. Most, though, identify with their strange totem — they hate barriers, whether physical, spiritual or psychological and wish to bypass them to find the prize, be it truth, wealth or horror, on the other side. While many young Hirfathra Hissu attempt to join the lodge with grandiose ideals about wanting to discover the mysteries of the universe or even bringing humanity a new understanding of their place in the world, the lodge is quick to show these youngsters the reality of the Lurkers. Many of the hidden truths of the world are hidden for a very good reason. That doesn’t mean the Lurkers shy away from them (the old adage that somethings should remain unknown is completely counter-intuitive to the Lodge of Doors), but they don’t see themselves as Prometheans, bringing the light of knowledge to the masses. If others want to learn the unpleasant truths of the world, they must open the doors, turn over the rocks and descend into darkness themselves. More specifically, one lesson that all new members of the lodge have drilled into them is “Nu Bath Githul” — The Herd Must Not Know. This portion of the Oath is inviolate, but not for the reasons that most Uratha believe.
