This process — utterly secret — is believed to take place in ISDA’s [[Green Chapel]], in the oldest part of the Keep of Salomoné, amongst the praetorian guard of ISDA ninjas, who are bound till death by the [[Swappist Oath]]. The Wording is, as you would expect, beset by formal pageantry: over their careers counsellors immerse themselves in complicated matters of etiquette, procedure, comportment and most importantly syntax. Transgression of these ineffable rules — not just unwritten but ''forbidden to be reduced to mortal form'' — can lead to even senior ninjas being cast out: consigned to a period in the ''[[Protocolium]]'', a stone oubliette in the dungeon on the Keep, where prisoners must wordlessly reflect on their allegiance to the [[One Agreement]] which they pledged on taking of the [[Swappist Oath]]. | |||
