As the story begins, a friend of the protagonist, Douglas Trigger, dies mysteriously while in the Great Chief's jail after he is arrested for espousing a new philosophy. With some hesitation, Douglas reluctantly picks up the fallen sword of his friend and begins teaching about truth. His message alarms the elders of the Temple of the Tribes because it espouses a philosophy that makes the Temple obsolete. The priests already fear their influence is slipping away as their people are corrupted by the decadence of the Empire. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTommy Trigger, a revolutionary and Douglas's twin, sees in his brother a charismatic leader for his struggle against the Empire and a possible Messiah to fulfill tribal prophecy.
