Pankot Palace (Symbolic Antagonist)

Regional Despotic Authority and Sacred Artifact Theft

Description

The palace as a **mythic and symbolic force of evil**, blamed by villagers in Mayapore for stealing the sacred Sankara Stone (sivalinga). This act is declared the root cause of regional suffering (drought, famine, childlessness, death), and the shaman mandates Indiana Jones to infiltrate the palace to retrieve the artifact. The palace functions as a **passive, almost supernatural antagonist**, driving the quest through its association with divine retribution.
