To the esteemed Legates,
As we discussed, a breach in the outer structure of the Tampt Crypt, worn by time, has rendered our holy burial vulnerable to those who would seek to enter and desecrate our dead. Already signs of trespass, tampering, and disturbance among the tombs are evident. These are not yet desecrations, but they are wounds in the bones of the earth, and I fear worse will follow if no watch is set.
I therefore propose the following:
- That two guards be stationed at the breach at all hours, their presence to deter the villainous and opportunistic, and to give warning of any threat to the tombs within.
- That the position of Cryptguard be raised, to oversee the well being, provisioning, and rotation of these guards, and to serve as the vigilant eye and hand of the faithful at the crypt. This post shall be filled by one both seasoned in combat and in service to the Gods, appointed by a Preparator and both Legates.
- That the Cryptguard be granted right of intervention, including the use of force, against any who enter the crypt unlawfully, or who remain within without sanction. Such intrusions are to be treated not as missteps but as violations of sacred ground and affronts to the Brothers both Living and Dead. The guards shall be trained in the Grace of sacred service, but firm in their Judgement of the unworthy.
- That the Cryptguardian maintain record of all incidents, repairs, and expenditures relating to the breach, and report monthly to the Scribes.
Let it be understood that this is not merely a defense of stone, but of the very memory and dignity owed to those that have made their final journey down the Edutu. The placing of these two guards and the rise of a Cryptguard shall serve not to mend stone but to reinforce trust in the protection of sacred death.
