High Council Confidentiality Files on Ravalox

A collection of sealed parchment scrolls and bound manuscripts, their edges stamped with the High Council’s wax seal—partially broken—revealing forbidden data about Ravalox’s destruction. The Valeyard brandishes them as proof of the Doctor’s unauthorized access, though their fragility betrays haste in their assembly. The Inquisitor flips through brittle pages under dim trial lighting, her skepticism deepening as she notes inconsistencies in the dates.

Before: Sealed and presented by the Valeyard as privileged and confidential evidence in the trial
After: Discredited and dismissed as invalid evidence after the Doctor presents a published text undermining their necessity
