Gavel, Glyph, and Grave

In the corrupt sovereign state of Valdris, Professor Arthur Vance loses his daughter Lily after the National Welfare Bureau callously denies her disability benefits using fabricated medical reports. Exhausting all appeals before the Federal Administrative Court, he witnesses a conspiracy of silence among judges and commissioners. Desperate and broken, he turns to a forbidden ritual stolen from the lost Ahn'Korath civilization to exact a blood curse upon the officials. But the ancient entity he summons is no mere tool of vengeance—it is a primal arbiter that reveals a society so decayed that only damnation can tip the scales.
