Orders
The Watchers
They do not enter the field. They do not leave the wall.
✠
The Watchers are the order of vigil. Their vow forbids them from leaving the threshold to which they have been assigned. They do not intervene. They do not advance. They mark what passes and they report what they have seen.
The discipline of the order rests on a hard doctrine: that the witness who departs his post in order to act has, in that moment, ceased to be the witness the Most High required. The Basilica trusts the Watchers' reports above almost any other testimony.
