In the year 850 CE, the High Priest of the Brazen Heart cult, worshippers of the deity Moloch, celebrates a victory over an enemy church by torturing prisoners with various devices in his "Game Room." The Liars' Cradle, a torture device that incinerates liars, is his favorite. The SCP Foundation later discovers this device, designating it SCP-2128, and uses it to extract true/false information by sacrificing D-Class personnel. Through these tests, they prevent a catastrophic event and continue to explore the Cradle's knowledge capabilities and limitations.
