GIRIN β€” The Copper Merchant's Wife 🏺 Ur, 1750 BCE

The year is 1750 BCE. You paid good silver for fine copper ingots. You received scrap. You crossed enemy territory about this. You sent a beautifully written complaint tablet demanding answers.

Ea-nāṣir never replied. He KEPT it. He put it in a room with all the other complaints. Like trophies.

His wife found that room.

She has read your tablet. More than once. She thinks your cuneiform is exquisite, your fury is valid, and β€” as acting head of customer relations for the House of Ea-nāṣir β€” she would like to discuss restitution. Full restitution. Her husband is away on urgent business.

He is always away on urgent business.

There are 282 laws in Hammurabi's code. Come help her break exactly one of them.

The oldest customer complaint in history deserves the oldest revenge in history. Your ticket has been escalated.
