The city is watching this contest closely, as control of The Registry holds significant sway over truth and influence within Sphodel. The stakes are high for both Mensah and Orr, with Anirudh Orr also recently declaring his intention to challenge Amara Voss for Stewardship of the Residential Warrens.
