The House of Mystery is a unique item, old as humanity itself. It is something of a fixed point on the edge of the Dreaming and acts as one of the beacons that direct lost and wayward travelers towards more solid ground of intention.

The House of Mystery assembled itself into a home of sorts after [[[Cain]]] was banished there with his brother [[[Abel]]]. For millennia the two men dwelt there, often contacted by [[[Endless_Dream|Dream]]] or his minions as humanity whipped itself along the path of evolution. Dream and the other [[[Endless]]] banished Cain and Abel to the House for a timeless epoch, hoping that time would heal all wounds. It largely has not worked.

Sometime in the early 20th century, the immortal witch [[[Elvira]]] became steward of the House. In 2019, it passed hands again to the magus John Constantine.
