History
Both the House of Mystery and the House of Secrets were born after Cain murdered Abel, and both were each given a house in the Dreaming (the world where all dreams occur) after Dream and Death took pity on them. It should be noted that this interpretation may not be entirely literal, as discussed by Cain and that the story is used to represent things that may be incredibly difficult to articulate to mortals. However, in the Dreaming, Abel was given the House of Secrets and Cain was given the House of Mystery. The houses were close enough that the two could remain neighbors and both found themselves cursed: everyday, Cain is compelled to murder Abel.
Cain later found that the House of Mystery had a very special purpose: to reveal rare and exotic mysteries to people who enter (though it can only be entered through dreams).
