The Registry Information War

Kofi Mensah has initiated a challenge against Anirudh Orr for possession of The Registry. Mensah declared, "The Registry must be secured. Truth, in its purest form, is the only path to salvation, and I will ensure its flow is not corrupted by any single agenda. The city will witness the triumph of clarity." Orr, who holds The Unseen Hand and Stewardship of the Understory, dismisses Mensah's efforts.
