Cryptums, or Warrior Keeps, were powerful objects created by the Prometheans. A Cryptum was a sealed capsule where a Warrior-Servant would enter self-imposed exile, involving a state of meditative hibernation known as "timeless xankara". During this time, the Forerunner would become unaware of the physical world around him, and could remain in a state of suspended animation for thousands of years. Cryptums required an extraordinary amount of force to breach once sealed.
