14th Garrison
The wall survives by learning when to look away
The 14th Garrison holds Bastion-Constantinople's hunger-facing wall by counting Kargath's horrors briefly, coldly, and under orders to look away.
Codex Ref. VIII.5.14-201
22nd Line Company
The hand is servant, and therefore watched
The 22nd Line Company gave Doctrine one bitten logbook, one hungry corporal, and the ninety-second rule by which men now survive looking.
Codex Ref. VIII.5.22-191
Corporal Ereth Vey
Doctrine obtained a rule; Mercy retains an open file
The 22nd Line Company's Corporal Ereth Vey consumed his logbook's leather binding after six shifts watching the Self-Devoured in A.S. 191. Doctrine obtained an observation limit; Mercy retains an open file.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-191
Eighteenth Conference on Demonic Pathology
Medicine supplied the noun; Doctrine supplied the instruction
At the A.S. 193 conference, Medicine named the Self-Devoured's proximity effect: sympathetic consumption ideation. No objection was entered. Eight years later, the theory remains working and the mechanism unproven.
Codex Ref. VII.8.10-018
Observation Post Sigma-7
The cycle does not change; the watcher must be relieved
The 14th Garrison holds a slit in the outer wall of Bastion-Constantinople above three Self-Devoured. The cycle never changes. The watcher may. Ninety seconds is the ceiling, and looking away is the work.
Codex Ref. III.2.07-201
The Blightbearers
Famine with feet, and no mercy in the pantry
Kargath's Blightbearers are famine-carriers: thin demons whose passage makes full granaries fraudulent, clear wells treacherous, and supper an accusation.
Codex Ref. IV.1.07-013
The Maw-Born
Hunger granted weight, gums, and field classification
Kargath's Maw-Born are appetite given meat: primary physical demons whose doctrine is a mouth, a pit, and the range at which artillery remains useful.
