The Path of Hands first manifests in Deadhouse Gates as a sorcerous trail that lures Soletaken and D'ivers across the Raraku desert toward a hidden prize of ascension. What begins as a metaphysical road of predation and power quickly becomes a crucible of transformation, where shapeshifters shed their mortal limitations in pursuit of godhood. Across the series, the Path evolves from a mere lure into a symbol of the brutal cost of power, its influence rippling outward as those who walk it either ascend or perish in the attempt.
