*Added to the Codex on* ***September 2nd, 2025*** --- ### Description #### Decrypted ***Decrypted using the Vigenere Cipher with the key: "CONTINGENCY."*** If you've found this, the end has come. If anything, I'm surprised it didn't come sooner. I always believed my blood would have to be spilled for Namaqualand to rise, that I'd give my life for the brutal flashpoint needed to give No-Pats a home again. But our friends and allies surprised me, and I was given the gifts of the weather changing again, plants growing in barren soil, and watching so many tired soldiers finally have the chance to lay down arms. So to fall now is a blessing. I am happy to give myself today not only for Namaqualand, but all of humanity to stand against the threats we face. I hope that those who mourn me understand that I would never let any of them take my place. This sacrifice was long overdue. I surrender my power to the people who accompanied me every step of the way. Rule together, live together, grow together. This is how it was always meant to be. "Oz" will become part of history, and greater stories will be woven with my thread. Yours in peace, Loyiso Okusanya <br> #### Encrypted Kt lhc'ik jbwlf huba, gni rpb jof vwzk.
