The Open Door
The Open Door grew from the Demian custom of marking homes willing to shelter people fleeing persecution or abandonment. It is now a decentralized network of safe houses, escorts, healers, forgers, sympathetic officials, transport workers, and families willing to make someone disappear for a while.

It helps Demians, but not only Demians. Escaped Mutamons, abused children, political fugitives, and refugees may also receive help. Several governments describe parts of the network as criminal. The Open Door's answer is usually that laws are useful only when they protect people worth protecting.
