The Will
The Will was the document the Architect left behind, dictating what was to happen within the House. The Trustees broke the Will into seven pieces, each hiding a different piece. The First Part of the Will escaped, and focused on finding a suitable Heir, and guiding him on his task. Eventually, all of it may be freed and added to the Will's amorphous form, Dame Primus, whose name means "First Lady". In the beginning of Superior Saturday she (to her chagrin) has split into two smaller versions of herself (Dame Quarto and Dame Septum) to fix the bursts of Nothing in the House.
| Animal Form | Virtue | Imprisonment |
|---|---|---|
| Frog | Fortitude/Diligence | Fused in a crystal, locked in an unbreakable box, guarded by metal Sentinels, fused on a surface of a dead sun |
| Bear | Patience/Prudence | In a centre of a sun guarded by the Mariner |
| Carp | Faith | Trapped in Feverfew's worldlet |
| Snake | Justice | Wrapped around the Fourth Key |
| Beast | Temperance | Chained and guarded by The Winged Servants of the Night |
| Raven | Charity | Split into millions of pieces and hidden in droplets of rain |
| Apple Tree | Hope | Trapped in a cage that will kill everything that touches it, and can only be opened by The Seventh Key, or The Mariner (at the cost of his life) |

Famous quotes containing the words the and/or will:
“Art expresses the one, or the same by the different. Thought seeks to know unity in unity; poetry to show it by variety; that is, always by an object or symbol.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
