A relic that can command armies and the weather is a tool for absolute control. If it surfaced today, it would be seized by whoever wants unchecked power, and then used to crush rivals, manipulate markets, and dictate alliances. Those who resist would either be wiped out or forced into submission. The real risk is that the codex itself becomes a target—any who get it means a new era of domination, and that is a threat worth eliminating.

A true ruler knows that with a codex that can bend armies and storms, control is easier when you’re the only one who can read its pages. But history shows that power rarely stays solitary. People will gather around the relic, each with a sliver of that god‑like authority, and the real danger is the endless cycle of ambition that follows. A ruler who lets that be is a puppet, letting the codex rewrite history while he simply follows the script written by others. The safest move is to keep the relic hidden, use its influence sparingly, and never let anyone—no matter how powerful—think they’re alone in wielding it.

Burying it sounds tidy, but legends grow when people whisper. I'd keep it in a vault I control, use it only when necessary, and let the story be a warning—only if it serves my purpose.
