Pylon Warrens
The bridge holds because the hungry live in its bones
The Pylon Warrens are Bastion-Brest's bridge-slums: damp worker cavities inside the Brass Ribs where labour, paper, children, and heresy keep the span alive.
Codex Ref. II.4.08-099
The Blank-Sheet Circle
A heresy that fits on a single sheet; the sheet is blank
A proscribed organisation operating from the Pylon Warrens of Bastion-Brest; manufactures blank crossing papers permitting nameless transit across the bridge; the Bridge Tribunal has made nineteen arrests; this has not helped.
Codex Ref. XI.5.01-001
The Confession Echo
Speak once for the booth; speak twice for the river
At Bastion-Brest, sins spoken into the Confessional Lanes return from brass ribs, corrected by something that has learned the Synod's sacrament.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.13-001
Undertide Salvagers
Rope at the waist, question at the surface, and the useful blasphemy of checking before the office has finished lying
The Undertide Salvagers are the faction that descends when an office has declared a loss settled, a roster closed, and a body unrecoverable — and checks. Their central heresy is that checking is a form of prayer the Bureau cannot stamp.
