The Murmur
The combat manifestations through which The Indifference reaches into reality as stone, hands, eyes and missing anatomy.
What kind of army
The units are never shown as an independent society; they behave like extensions of a larger will. The Fragmented forms show that pieces can combine into a single threat.
The Sanctum as target
Vessels, Requiem knowledge and links across time could block The Indifference's entry. The Murmur work to break Albrecht's counter-plan apart.
The limit of fighting
Defeating units reduces the leakage but does not end the source. Physical combat has to be accompanied by relationship and by Requiem defence.
