Due to their sacred nature—specifically the involvement of the Domain—a Forerunner's entry into a Cryptum was traditionally a highly ritualistic process, overseen and guided by an associate of [[Haruspis]]. The associate would remove the would-be exile's [[Forerunner personal armor|armor]] and administer them gradual doses of a chemical known as ''inchukoa'', which caused the body to shed most of its fluids via heavy sweating, initially dried and cleaned by the Forerunner's aides and attendant [[monitor]]s. The Forerunner, rapidly desiccating and losing consciousness, would then be carried to a chamber housing the Cryptum. Only biological beings were allowed to be present in this stage; no [[artificial intelligence]]s were permitted. The Haruspis' associate would chant words in middle [[Digon]] to aid the Forerunner's passage into the alternate state of consciousness. With the Forerunner almost completely mummified and unconscious, they were delivered into the Cryptum.{{Ref/Novel|Id=s50|Sil|Page=50-55}} | Due to their sacred nature—specifically the involvement of the Domain—a Forerunner's entry into a Cryptum was traditionally a highly ritualistic process, overseen and guided by an associate of [[Haruspis]].
