The Imperium stated that the Codex was impartial in this as nobody was favored…but very few Archons believed it.
This was why they called the last Contest…the Will of the Imperium.
It may very well be what the Imperium chose if one Archon lost favor with them.
But so long as one won the prior two Contests, the third Contest of the Codex wouldn't even matter!
So it was one's power that was the decider…and one's wealth.
Today, the power and wealth of the Legacies of Al-Abalem and Ignatius would be tested- and it was at the worst time imaginable!
Al-Abalem turned his gaze towards Ignatius as the darkness around this entity was just as obscure.
He then felt his connection with the Codex of Extremity…and observed that in the time wasted to stand before everyone here, the encroachment had only increased.
