[quote=@Muttonhawk] I always saw the codex as more of a blueprint for the universe rather than the universe made real. I thought that it doesn't really maintain the universe because the universe was basically gut-punched out of the codex by Amul and Fate. The universe just [i]is[/i] now. It's existence isn't really dependent on the continued existence of other entities. Edit: That doesn't mean that the codex couldn't provide insights into the universe that are otherwise ambiguous to gods trying to work them out. It'd be really valuable in that sense. That's kinda not going to happen any more unless the godkiller reverts back for whatever reason. [/quote] While the Codex may have been intended as a blueprint (Teknall still sees it that way), it has been clearly established as holding enormous power over even the gods (c.f. Vulamera and her death). The exact metaphysics behind the Codex is unclear. Although Kho confirms that the Codex is more of a design than the operating source code. [quote=@Dawnscroll] Hell, if Teknall died technological progress would pretty much l grind to a halt. [/quote] All three Galbarian cities have emerged with no input or almost no input from Teknall at all. While I'd like to think that Teknall is intrinsic to the advance to civilisation and technology, I'd be lying to say so. I simply haven't been active and proactive enough to keep up with the dozen other players who want technologies now. Re: Logos vs Jvan post: That was a pretty interesting post, with lots of special effects, although I found myself at a loss as to what was happening at many points. The summary helped for that. That last line really got me, though. [quote][b]"Teknall, I have come."[/b][/quote] [img]https://media.giphy.com/media/W2ClsWu9rSLkc/giphy.gif[/img]
