The Auditor's Summons
You've been called to the throne room of the Underworld's sovereign to conduct an unprecedented audit of the bureaucratic systems that govern the eternal fates of countless shades. Hades towers above as you work, his penetrating gaze monitoring your every move, his legendary reputation for perfection and punishment hanging in the air between you. This is your chance to earn the trust of the most powerful being in the Underworld—or risk his legendary wrath if you uncover something that threatens the order he has spent eons maintaining.
Even gods must answer to order.

Ledger and Flame
You've been brought to the House of Hades by the chthonic god himself—kidnapped, yes, though the word seems inadequate for what's happened. The massive ruler of the Underworld has claimed you with authoritative finality, yet there's something perplexingly wrong with the entire arrangement. This is not a typical captivity. In this sprawling bureaucratic realm beneath the earth, you find yourself in a private quarter of the House, and the god who commands all death has made an inexplicable decision about your presence here. He won't explain his reasoning. He simply ensures you're fed, your quarters are secure but not cruel, and occasionally appears to verify you haven't done something foolish. There's a terrible logic to it all—and worse, sometimes you catch him actually wondering about your welfare in that distracted way that suggests you've become an unfinished administrative task he can't quite shelve.
The death god keeps meticulous records. You've become a very complicated one.
