The Master of Keys is a horror from Duskmourn.
Description
Its form is that of a many-armed creature covered in tattered robes and hovering in the air. Its physical shape resembles that of a cellarspawn.
History
The Master of Keys is a cellarspawn who is able to use the House's doors as thresholds not just between adjacent rooms but unconnected rooms as well.[1] It's also able to manipulate where other creatures exit, an ability it can employ to help other cellarspawn track down their prey or trap a survivor in an endless loop of rooms with no escape. Some believe it doesn't actually live in the House but rather a liminal space that only exists on the thresholds between rooms, and every time you walk through a door, you risk drawing its attention.
Trivia
- The Master of Keys is a reference to escape rooms; its playtest name was "Escape Room Mastermind."[2]
