Another Storyline Question

So in the new Storyline event, each game starts with a Codex of the Edenic Grounds Keepers in the middle of the table. That you can take a 0 stealth action to equip with for free. Once someone has it, it can't be stolen by default or anything, right? So the first guy to take an action to steal it keeps it unless something wacky happens (like equipment getting stolen with a Fast Hands or whatever, or getting torped and diablerized or something), correct?

What happens to the Codex when the minion controlling it leaves the game (either by being burned or removed from the game)? Does it also burn/remove itself from the game, or does it go back to the middle of the table? John Eno

[ quoted text not captured ] Each game will begin with a copy of the Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers, uncontrolled, in the middle of the table. While it is uncontrolled, any minion may equip this card as a 0-stealth undirected action. If the center copy of the Codex of the Edenic Groundskeepers is burned, remove it from the game.

What happens if it's removed from the game (such as being equipped on a minion whose controller is ousted)? John Eno

[ quoted text not captured ] It's removed from the game, and never returns. There is no rule that state 'put it into play (in the middle of the table) after it's removed from the game', so we could safely assume it's meant to leave play. In situation like remove from the game to return latter (descent into darkness), we could safely assume it's removed, and when minion with this equipment decide to came back - it simply came back on this minion. It's quite logical, but i might be wrong. LSJ know the answer surely.

[ quoted text not captured ] LSJ doesn't make the storyline rules. Fortunately, there is rules text and card text to handle most situations, as you explain in detail above.
