"The Law " itself, hidden inside the catacombs beneath the Lateran Basilica
"The Law" or "The Commandments" is an ancient physical and mechanical entity, either a supercomputer or the core/mainframe of an A.I., in the shape of a column/pillar that rests underneath the Lateran Basilica in the catacombs where the previous Popes and the Saints are interred, which somehow physically bounds all Sankta under its rules. It has the directive to preserve the Sankta's existence, which is the origin of Laterano's thirteen rights of citizenship. The first Sarkaz/Teekaz communities which interacted with the Law were "blessed" with Sankta abilities, such as emotional empathy via their halos, and became the first Sankta. However, they were then considered traitors by the Sarkaz. Any Sankta who breaks the Law without its consent will become "fallen".
Only very few individuals have ever seen the Law in person (and thus aware of its true nature). So far, one of which is Andoain who described it as an "undisputable existence that does not belong to Laterano and can neither be comprehended nor influenced by anyone".[1] As to Friston the Preservator, who already knows its secret, he commented that "a cold, non-living commanding system" that was operated under the name of "God," a command which it could never comprehend, can be very dangerous to both the Sankta and the Law itself.[2]
