Gatekeeper Alert!

On the journey to the "infernal marshes" of Avernus, the gateway to Pluto's realm, Mercury raped the silent, pleading nymph. From this brutal union, Lara conceived the divine twins known as the Lares Compitalici—the guardians of crossroads, city boundaries, and the household. This is the critical link to the "gatekeeper" title. As the mother of the Lares, Lara became the primordial source of guardianship and boundary enforcement in Roman belief. She is also known as Tacita ("the silent one"), and a secretive women's folk cult during the Feralia festival invoked her to "bind hostile tongues to silence".
