The Zohar acts as a conduit for infinite power and has been under our jurisdiction since ancient times. Since even before the mass exodus from Lost Jerusalem, we of the Immigrant Fleet, the People of the Zohar, have been its guardians and caretakers. Even that should be enough reason to consider it an object of great importance. But beyond even that, Ormus seeks to use the Zohar to re-open the path to Lost Jerusalem. Then there's the occasional arrogant fool who sees fit to use it as a weapon, but the last one of those to reach a position of power garnered little real support, at least in the time before I left the organization.
