==Description==
The crater was flooded, with a small island in the center. In the center of the island was a small mountain.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=30}} The waters surrounding the island were populated by [[merse]], which were likely transplanted there from their homeworld by the [[Librarian]].{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=83}} The island itself was uninhabited, but in the center was located a [[Forerunner]] [[Cryptum]] belonging to [[the Didact]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=c60|Cry|Page=60}} The Cryptum had been moved there by the Librarian as part of her elaborate plan to reunite with her husband. The Librarian also hid a [[design seed]] for [[Didact's ship|a ship]] in the crater's central peak; this ship was later used by the Didact to escape. The artifact site was surrounded by a [[baffler]] and a wide variety of traps, probably to discourage curious humans.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=43}}


==History==
[[Riser]]'s family's ''[[geas]]'', imposed by the Librarian as part of her plan, made them spend many generations trying to penetrate the traps and reach the area inside.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 48-49''</ref> Several years before the [[Halo Array|Halos]] were [[Great Purification|fired]], the crater was visited by [[Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting]], along with [[Chakas]] and Riser. With their help, he breached the baffler and found the Didact's Cryptum within.<ref name="c60"/>

The Librarian recreated the crater as part of [[Bastion]], a [[shield world]] built to resemble Earth and her secret laboratory. In late [[2558]], [[343 Guilty Spark]], who had been Chakas before becoming a [[Monitor]], visited Bastion's version of the crater as he processed everything that had happened to him and his new duties as Bastion's caretaker.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=Epilogue}}
