My guess was right! Hobart thought. He had previously suspected that the Night Emperor's sudden fall had likely been influenced by an "Ancient One," leaving Him in a very abnormal state.

No matter how severe the Night Emperor's problem had been, could it really have been more dangerous than someone Half-Mad?
Now it seemed that it might truly have been more dangerous. Hobart vaguely remembered a description of the Lamp Genie: the Orthodox God Churches had never obtained the Lamp Genie; once, a True God had tried to destroy it, but failed.
