	Any member of the [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies\|Vigilance Assembly]] is empowered to issue a [[statement of principle]] instructing the Silent Bell to pursue information relating to a specific topic. Such a statement of principle must begin with the wording "'''The Assembly of Vigilance directs the Silent Bell to investigate...'''". If the statement is supported by the lesser majority of the Assembly, then the Silent Bell will turn its attention towards investigating the designated topic. In the event that multiple such statements are issued in a single summit, the Silent Bell will take instruction from the judgement that achieves the highest margin.

	The current preceptor of the Silent Bell, '''Malachai of the Silent Bell, in [[Casinea#Casfall\|Casca's Doom]]''', suggested a way that the Imperial Synod might wield the Silent Bell effectively, but with enough transparency to allay fears of a "secret militia answering only to the cardinals." During the Winter solstice 380YE, the Imperial Synod declared their support for the Silent Bell, and the Council of the Nine issued their first instruction as to where the sodality should turn its gaze. The Highborn Esau executed a mandate in support of the Silent Bell, leading to improved attendance at congregations of priests dedicated to Vigilance across the Empire.

	The Silent Bell was an [[Imperial sodality]] made up of citizens dedicated to the cause of [[Vigilance]]. Initially set up in the early years of the reign of [[Emperor Nicovar]], they were intended to serve as an investigative arm of the [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies\|Vigilance Assembly]]. Unfortunately, being so closely associated with the Mad Emperor led to their short-lived order being officially disbanded in 210YE as the dust of Nicovar's rampage started to settle.

Unfortunately, being so closely associated with the Mad Emperor led to their short-lived order being officially disbanded in 210YE as the dust of Nicovar's rampage started to settle. They have continued to operate in an unofficial capacity ever since.

	The first (and officially, only) preceptor of the Silent Bell, Esther of Sybela, responded to the instruction to disband the order with a polite note to the then [[Cardinal]] of Vigilance that read simply "''be alert to all dangers; within and without.''" Denied official sanction, the Silent Bell continued to operate in the background, occasionally bringing news of potential threats to the Empire to the attention of the Vigilance assembly.
