Snippet from the Apla Ple’on (central archives)
Written by anonymous(presumably Werrid) friend of a Ple'on member, in a public journal.
Translated from Werrid dialect of Aplan. Realia/Aplan-exclusive words will be annotated.
Today’s research brought me to think about ”death cities”.
If, by some chance, a foreigner is reading this, I will ask of anyone living in the Ogse(1) to contact me with any information on death cities in the area. Thank you in advance.
In Agse(2), there are two major examples of the phenomenon, yet they could not be more different. It brings one to question the vagueness of the term, and if there should be more of a distinction. I will explain it this way:
The more famous and populous death city in Agse is Epol, in the south. It has a population of roughly 1000. The inhabitants’ main occupations range from embalming, funeral managing and gravekeeping to the lowly affair of gravedigging and sharing bones. The city’s graveyard, which is situated around it in a sort of moat, spans almost triple of the former’s surface. Some would call the density of the graveyard disrespectful to the deceased, but I would advise them to remember that these people have been managing our graves for centuries, that the dead do not care for the space they take in the living world, and that if they want their grave on the highest mountain with the godly shrines, they should arrange it themselves.
I will circle back to the utmost wrongdoers in Epol; the gravediggers. To those unfamiliar(I will shift my gaze to the uneducated(3)), due to the amount of graves in the city, some people think it is acceptable to rob them of their occupants. Bones are most common, as they do not decompose and are greatly coveted for decoration and fine work; such is the case for the spine, skull and teeth. I have heard there is a rare but fruitful market in fresh corpses, as well, where organs and skins are the most valuable. Horns, hooves, and Werrid crystals are not sought after, perhaps because there is no need for them to be living, or perhaps because of an excess of existing supply. I would have thought that hooves could be used for certain cosmetics or medecines, but the uneducated must find use in more damning things.
I may have strayed from the original subject. Let me talk about Kensa.
In case anyone decides to think of me as some kind of glass-skinned frog(4), I will give this topic the due respect it deserves. Everyone fought, no matter how hard. No person should die an untimely death unless they call for it.
Kensa is, to put it clearly, a mass grave and nothing more. No one lives there. It was visited by Enos(5), then nothing anymore. I will not delve into the unnecessary details, because everyone is probably tired of hearing about them.
To call it a grave is kind. It is just a battlefield left to time. Nothing was built on the land since that was not there before. It is called a death city too, despite not being a city anymore. Perhaps it is named so as a form of reverence to its past form. A better term than “blood-stained land”, I would say.
After writing this, I have changed my mind about the suitability of the term “death city”. There are more important matters. I will nonetheless give this paper to you, in case one decides they have the time to investigate all this. Epe.(6)
Footnotes:
(1): Region comprised of Oxtrad and the southern half of the Egsede archipelago.
(2): Region comprised of Apla and the northern half of the Egsede archipelago.
(3): “the uneducated” in this expression in old Aplan refers to children. In post-Kensa Apla, the expression had come to be a sort of dogwhistle referring to Egsedens, who were heavily discriminated.
(4): Frog was a derogatory term toward Egsedens.
(5): “Ena” in Aplan -- God of blood and massacre.
(6): Colloquial expression of goodbye, shortened from “Epe’ěn espla”. literally translates to “have a harvest”.

6,000 join broadcast Call to Repentance and Prayer
The post 6,000 join broadcast Call to Repentance and Prayer appeared first on Anglican Mainstream.
from Church of England Newspaper:
On Saturday 25 April, over 6,000 people joined a live-streamed Call to Repentance and Prayer organised by Voice for Justice UK (VfJUK).
As VfJUK CEO Lynda Rose explained, on this date in 590 AD, Rome was miraculously delivered from plague after a call to repentance and prayer led by the new Pope, Gregory 1. Rome at the time was known for its corruption, moral decadence, immorality, and general decline. In his inaugural address to the crowds, Gregory proclaimed: “God is full of mercy and compassion, and it is his will that we should win his pardon through our prayers.”
For three days Gregory led the people in procession through the streets, crying out in repentance. At the end of that time, the Archangel Michael was reportedly seen standing on the top of the castle of Crescentius, a short way from the Vatican, brandishing a flaming sword.
In response to the crowd’s prayer, the archangel sheathed the sword and then turned to leave the city. As he left, the crowd reported an immediate change. The air, they said, became fragrant and fresh – less heavy – and from that moment the plague stopped.
The Rev Lynda Rose said she had felt very strongly that the Lord was ‘calling our nation to make that same prayer of repentance, on the same date’.
On 18 April she sent out a blog, calling people to stand with VfJUK in prayer for repentance and deliverance on the 25th. She hadn’t, she said, anticipated the response. For the next 48 hours she was deluged with emails from people committing to pray and asking what they should do. So was born the idea of a live stream broadcast – calling people to repentance.
As well as VfJUK, the broadcast included sections led by the Rev Dr Clifford Hill, Director of Issachar Ministries; Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali, former Bishop of Rochester and now President of OXTRAD (pictured); Des Starritt, Executive Director of Christians United for Israel UK; David Lindsay, Joint leader of Together for the Nation; Andrea Williams CE of Christian Concern; and Linda Stalley, joint leader of the Maranatha Community.
The overriding message of each one was that God is here and actively wants to help – but that sin blocks the way.
Bishop Michael reminded participants that ‘we have abused God’s creation, both globally and in our own bodies’. But God is a God of suffering love, he said, who brings healing out of disease and hope out of despair, so he urged the nation to repent and cry out for deliverance.
Clifford Hill spoke of the ‘ungodly’ laws that have reshaped Britain since 1950 – that are, he said, directly against the teachings of the Bible, while others warned of the abuse of relationships and disintegration of the family, declaring that God is shaking the nations in order to awaken us to sin.
As pointed out in the Bible, it was said that our choices bring blessings or curses, life or death.
On Saturday, over 6,000 heard that call to repent. The Rev Lynda Rose added: “The prayers go on.”

Tereza is coming to visit me mid-next week. It's been more than a year and a half since the day I dropped her to her taxi and we exchanged letters and tried not to get weepy about it. Even the fact that it's only two that we both have exams just a few days after can't put a damper on my excitement. I keep forgetting that she's going to move to London next year and that she wants to explore King's and see 'the student life'. I can't wait. This is one friendship I really want to hold on to.
