His Honor, the Eldritch Counsel

Synopsis

Meet Arthur Penhaligon, a lawyer whose quiet competence and cryptic demeanor have clients and colleagues convinced he's either a divine arbiter or something far, far worse. Arthur is just trying to win cases, diligently navigating the labyrinthine world of statutes and precedents. But somehow, every successful motion becomes an unwitting curse, every ironclad contract binds souls to infernal pacts, and every plea bargain feels suspiciously like a deal with the devil. He's not trying to be terrifying; he's just good at his job. Yet, through sheer accident and the boundless paranoia of others, Arthur finds himself at the center of whispered cults interpreting legal footnotes as prophecy and shadowy figures convinced his courtroom victories are cosmic judgments. Part legal thriller, part cosmic horror, and entirely absurd, "His Honor, the Eldritch Counsel" plunges into a world where the banality of law becomes a vehicle for unintended evil and the simple act of doing one's job is indistinguishable from wielding godlike, terrifying power. It's a satirical look at authority, perception, and the horrifying possibility that you don't need intent to be a monster—just a system, a suit, and a reputation you never asked for.
