Because of our apathy, 22 of her family members—siblings, children, and her sick father—are dead. This is an indictment on us all.

I've figured it out!
Klyopađrå is queen of Khemet, a monarchic empire that once ruled over Vylbrand, NW Eorzea, and NE Xak Tural. A global power before the Allagan Empire’s shadow fell.
Khemet was eventually destroyed by Xandẽ as one of his first acts of conquest upon his resurrection...

Today I met a dog who had freed himself—snapped the link to his ground leash. He was lovely, sweet, playing with my dog, Riko. But he had zero tags.
I tried to do the right thing. I tailed him, calling every animal "help" org in Butler, PA. Not a single one answered.

I spent the day immersing myself into the Third Astral Era to bring you Julỹs Kaĩsar.
It'll be a complete translation of Shakespeare’s tragedy into the sociopolitical landscape of the Allagan Empire. I'm not just swapping names; I'm performing a study into the linguistics of betrayal.
