[Vorryn Spex](https://maximals.shape.network/token/100) convened the final audience in the Vaulted Ruin of Sethavorn, the mineral encroachment already climbing the jaw. It begins at the extremities. Every witness to [Argentus](https://maximals.shape.network/token/1708) in the terminal months of the Kethavrine Compact gave the same account: the fingers surrender first, then the tongue, then the eyes flatten to mirrors reflecting nothing present. Doxoveil bears the process further. The spike-crown fused to the helmet during the third surge, and the calcification followed upward, sealing whatever expression the face once maintained beneath a surface that catches light from sources no longer broadcasting. The amber devotional script along the collar is lettered in a dialect that died before the Drowning of Iaret, addressing a designation the Ordained have since retired. The Ordained classified this as terminal. [Prisovane](https://maximals.shape.network/token/993) classified it as acceleration. A body reads the decision before the mind articulates it. Doxoveil made no declaration. The court of grey silence gathered regardless: fourteen figures in progressive stages of the same encrustation, each a further station along a road the Feral taxonomists refuse to map. [Feralkrix](https://maximals.shape.network/token/798) was observed circling Sethavorn's outer walls for nine consecutive cycles; the Ordained flagged this as predatory attention, and the Remnant priests recorded it as vigil. In low light, the orbital ridge reads honey-stained, the one warm register left on a surface that was, not long ago, a face. Vacant, the classification reads. The designation assumes an interior that once gripped itself together, that warmed and ached and chose. If the warmth the mineral sealed inside still metabolizes in the dark, who remains to measure it?
