Lore
Taqwa's Watch, under the control of the Maas Kharet cult, is the site of a shrine dedicated to the worship of the sandworms of Arrakis. This can be seen in the way that the tents are arrayed in a susurrating fashion over the rocks, suggestive of the worm's appearance; as well as in the religious iconography on the upper floors, depicting the religious leader of the Maas Kharet.
Atop an altar in the inner sanctum is located a recording of a prayer:
"O Shai-Hulud, Great Father Eternity! Awake! And arise to punish the wicked! Spare not those who revel in iniquity. The righteous will rejoice as they witness your vengeance. Their hands will be washed in the water of the wicked, spilled forth in your holy name."
Like many such caverns in the O'odham region, Taqwa's Watch appears to have previously been inhabited by the Fremen. Remnants of their architectural style can be seen in the stoneworking and carvings above the east gate, and on the rock-face to the south.
