In June 2019, Ignotus departed silently, as if draped in his Invisibility Cloak. The community felt his absence, but Grin remained strong, guided by a Technical Council of volunteer wizards. Before leaving, Ignotus left a message: Grin would be a currency for transactions, not a treasure for collectors.
