To the Offices of the Legates

Gedwyr Karstcleft and Zalthar Stonefield, Argent's Palatial Architects, were found to be brookers of Earth and Flesh. They fled into the sands after no Janissary could challenge them, location unknown. In their wake, they have left seedings in the District lands that Argent had them prepare, found upon survey with the Incarnabulum. There lies buried a statue of Mirielle Rosseau, one of their most notable grotesque statues, which contains a djinn that purports to be the District:

BRITTLE BONE. BOILING FLESH. PESTILENT PUS.
OF THESE I WAS MADE. FROM THESE WAS I BORN.

FATHER. FATHER. GAZE UPON ME. I AM YOUR DISTRICT ETERNAL. THERE SHALL BE NO OTHER.
SO LONG AS STONE MEETS MORTAR. SO LONG AS BACK BREAKS AND ROCK CRUMBLES.
I SHALL BE THERE WITH YOU.

I AM THE DISTRICT. THE DISTRICT IS I.
COMPLETE ME, AND AWAKEN ME.
I SHALL BE YOUR GREATEST CREATION.

The creature itself was human-sized and strangely unremarkable, though difficult to make out in the radiant light of its reaction with the Incarnabulum's fog.

Some dubious mention was made of the ground being littered with statues beneath the surface, but this needs confirming. I will not be operating under this assumption, and rather assuming that this avatar is the interface node of an animus that has suffused the construction grounds, and no individual attack may be made, nor is sand a good substance to make war upon.

I will find you to discuss containment measures, Legates.
