Amid their diligent labor, the city's scribes had made a grievous error, accidentally including a heretical passage in the reproduction of one of the empire’s most sacred texts. The passage cast humanity’s origins in doubt, suggesting they descended from beasts—a notion considered blasphemous. Senior religious figures were outraged, and fear spread that this mistake might sow doubt among the faithful. To avoid an uproar, the ruling council discreetly ordered all copies to be swiftly gathered and burnt, keeping the incident as quiet as possible. This cover-up, though controversial, was done to maintain unity and avert religious discord, appeasing the offended clergy and reinforcing the city’s loyalty to the faith.</blockquote>
