Background[]
The High Adjudicator had been worshipping an illegal pleasure-god in secret and became addicted to it. According to Julius Brand, he redirected truckloads of sacrifices from the initial draft for the war effort to his estate in South-Eastern. He'd been trying to create a grand sex-saint. After the third effort, the High Adjudicator fell into a coma.[1]
