Having dug up the full actual quote, it seems even more potentially relevant - from The Coeurl and the Colossus:



The horn itself is accounted for, of course - it's currently embedded in Alexander's core - but it sets me wondering if they're trying to connect back up to this plot thread, and what other similar relics might be out there.

The Enigma Codex itself was an odd thing, alien-looking technology at the time of that story, but now with further developments it could possibly be electrope or something like it. We never got a really clear full picture of its history either, IIRC, and I've forgotten what there was because it always felt like a fairly minor detail at the time.
This makes me nervous; I already don’t like time travel…and the fact that the city is named Alexandria already gives me red flags.

I just really really really hope Alexandria doesn’t have some janky connection to Alexander and the 12th shard. Like the artifact being the horn from Alexander refined….

I mean I guess if it’s done right…but maaaaaaan.
