Authentication Hall
Where a rumour in a box becomes a verdict in wax
The Bureau of Relics' examination halls turn sealed submissions into Ward-safe, Votive, Contaminant or Fraud. Seven stages, two witnesses and a press decide whether a bone guards the Line, graces a shrine or becomes mortar.
Codex Ref. II.2.06-006

Authenticators' Manual
Seven stages. Two witnesses. Responsibility belongs to the hand.
The Bureau of Relics' working rulebook in A.S. 201: seven stages, two witnesses and seals that outrank arithmetic. Permission belongs to the Bureau; responsibility belongs to the Examiner.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.81-002

Candle Proof
One palm-width of wax between sanctity and arrest
Relics doctrine standardised in A.S. 98: a clean taper, one palm-width from a suspected relic, asks whether the holy thing wants the flame.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.81-001

Notary-Saint Caldre
A saint who wrote one sentence and made Relics afraid of grammar
Patron of Relic Authenticators, Caldre entered a sealed vault in A.S. 94, wrote one approved sentence, died smiling, and left the Bureau a seal-press it cannot trust.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-139

Relic Authenticator
The stamp makes the filing complete; the bone remains what it was
The Synod's miracle-bureaucrats — clerks with gloves, lamps, and seal-presses who decide whether a fragment of bone is holy or merely expensive.
Codex Ref. XII.35.01-001
