In the world was Lore and Lore delighted the eye. It spread itself across the land, whispered to men through the earth and foliage, through crystalline devices. Here, one form of Lore develops-there, some diverse facet, each the embodiment of man's greatness. But Lore is cunning, for men can only think to be great, and conscience often doesn't speak loudly enough. Here is the epic struggle between men and the Lore they wield, a conflict mirrored in the ordeals faced by the hero who would save them. He was bred to be a leader, a Lifeward with no other emotion than anger. What strange hand turns a stone heart into an aching void? What unworthy Lifeward dares to live such blasphemy? Adored by some, but despised by his own kind, Saydon is beleaguered by his flaws, disgusted with himself. And yet, he refuses to surrender, for above all else, he is goaded to answer the whispers calling his name.

In the kingdom of ME-dom, ruled by King Surly, cruelty and rivalry are the accepted laws for living. The ME-domites are impolite, irritable, and self-seeking. King Surly charges his most loyal soldiers, PRIDE and ANGER, with the task of keeping the ME-domite FOLKS confused and dependent. Exasperated with wickedness, sixteen-year-old ENVOY MESSENGER risks escaping his deep-rooted, brain-washed values of evil as he ventures on an uncertain quest, seeking wisdom. ENVOY feels a desperate calling to discover how the ME-domites can be delivered from worshiping the Idol of Jealousy and be set free from selfishness and pride. If achieved, this discovery would destroy the missions of PRIDE and ANGER. ENVOY’S journey steers him towards a life-changing encounter with PROVIE, the Lady of Wisdom. PROVIE escorts ENVOY through transforming confrontations as she points the WAY to the FOLKS of ME-dom towards righteous living.
