"Your Excellency Xerosis," the first human lawyer began, voice steady but heavy with conviction, "we come today not to challenge the divinity of the godlings, nor to undermine the gods themselves. We seek justice for the innocent, who's homes were destroyed, families lost, livelihoods stolen by those entrusted with power.
He paused, letting his words settle. "Fourteen godlings, acting beyond the command of any ruler, unleashed storms and floods upon the Humanity kingdom. Towns leveled. Children drowned. Entire villages erased. The survivors left to bear the cost of being alive while having lost everything. Yet the offenders have walked free until now. That is unacceptable."
