Codex: Vestal (Patreon)

Vestal virgins are elite temple guards of the church. Genetically enhanced from embryo and trained from birth, they are closest to the definition of perfect human beings. Vestals wield spears crafted from Tok'l metal extracted from Yuggoth, the distinct temporal properties of the rare mineral makes them capable of damaging entities from another dimension.

Vestals rarely leave the Providence Cathedral in Neo Rhode Island. They keep a sacred eternal flame brought from Earth in the Cathedral's grandiose reliquary hall to ensure that the Shining Trapezohedron is never submerged in shadow - the old god Nyarlathotep's avatar, the infamous Haunter of Dark will manifest itself and regain freedom if the ominous stone is enclosed in complete darkness. Once a summon ceremony is called, the Vestals will move the Shining Trapezohedron from the Reliquary Hall to the lightless Advent Hall, where the conjuration commences under the supervision of Augurs.

The Vestals' duty implies an interesting profile of the Church's agenda: Are they worshiping the alien god, or rather, imprisoning it?

Edit: Added Chinese translation per request of two Autocratic patrons. Not sure if I can do this for every codex in the future but here it is.
