Sylvester attended the last rites of Augustus in the morning. Augustus' pyre was burned at the Golden Peninsula, the holiest place, as a sign of respect and apology.
Sylvester had no idea what had transpired after he left last night. He couldn't find Saint Seer there. Only the Pope, a few higher clergymen, and Guardians were present.
But he didn't care about that and went on to do his usual work, which included going to the entry gate of the Holy Land and checking everything. At the end of Season of Solis, a rush is usually observed as people become agitated to enter.
The biggest danger at this time was a stampede due to increased desperation. After all, they'd have to wait for an entire year if they missed entering the Holy Land.
He checked the register of the guards at the entrance. They had scaled up his given model of entry checking. That effectively decreased the needed time to merely five minutes per person.
