"Here in Khura'in, death is not the end. ... Fear not death. In the name of the Holy Mother... fear only the impurities of your soul." A body drops dead at the foot of a staircase, an ornate box drops to the ground, and the culprit stands over the scene. To cleanse the impurity of his soul, he decides to pin his crime on "the child" instead.
