In the peaceful lands of Scafleven,
every deed performed must be pure. That is the law.

Citizens flock in great numbers to perform kind deeds,
and only the kindest of all may rule the realm.

Kindness is currency. Goodness is power.

But deep beneath polished smiles and perfect deeds,

Who is lying?
Who is pretending?
And who has committed the act that changes everything?

But maybe purity is only an illusion . . . for even the purest of hearts can become tainted.
