'''Cryptums''', or '''Warrior Keeps''', were [[Forerunner]] objects created by the [[Promethean]]s. A Cryptum was a sealed capsule where a high-ranking [[Warrior-Servant]] would enter self-imposed exile as punishment for failure or dishonor, 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. They denied access to every species except Forerunners. | '''Cryptums''', or '''Warrior Keeps''', were [[Forerunner]] objects created by the [[Promethean]]s.
