Nagash, known by many names such as the " Great Necromancer," the " Great Betrayer," the " Usurper," the " Undying King," the " Supreme Lord of Undeath" or simply " He Who Shall Not Be Named," is the ultimate personification of death and the Undead, an ancient, evil being who sought to conquer this cruel, chaotic mortal world and bring about an age of Undeath that will rule for all eternity. Nagash, the Supreme Lord of Undeath, creator of the black arts of necromancy. Extract from the Liber Necris, translated by Mannfred von Carstein The name of the one who cursed them to their existence, more than death but less than life. And sometimes, in ghastly dry voices, like the rustling of sun-baked reeds, they whisper the one word they remember from life. They haunt the shifting dunes of the breathless, windless night, brandish weapons of bronze in mocking challenge and bitter resentment of the life they no longer possess. I would hope the Canadian public would show some empathy." In that dread desert, beneath the moon's pale gaze, dead men walk. It is the commemorative opportunity to honour those children that were lost in such a tragic manner to the residential school system. “I just want to say that the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is not a holiday. One thing Williams cannot emphasize enough to the public is that this is not a regular day off or a regular day. The Ontario government only decided early last month not to make National Day for Truth and Reconciliation a provincial holiday. 30 as a federal statutory holiday, making it a paid day off for federal workers and employees in federally regulated workplaces. Legislation passed by the federal government in June recognized Sept. “There are 94 calls-to-action through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and there are calls-to-action that the media needs to take up on behalf of this issue.” He says the media has a responsibility to keep the issue of reconciliation at the forefront of the general public. “I am hoping it will urge individuals to learn more, to find out more, and to begin to understand so that we can continue on a path of reconciliation.” Williams is appreciative area townships, towns and cities have made declarations to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation because he believes the events taking place will have a huge impact on the population in central Ontario. #Ever圜hildMatters /nXvKGZdfJ7- Ontario Provincial Police September 28, 2021 The front of #OPP General Headquarters is being illuminated in orange for four days until September 30 in support of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and to recognize the tragic history and ongoing impacts of residential schools. He says it has had a huge impact on people’s well-being and mental health. “It has been very difficult for many people, and the impact of the findings of the lost children in such a horrific and tragic way.” Williams says Thursday will be a healing exercise for many First Nations people. Rama First Nation will have a commemoration pathway that will acknowledge the children and the residential school system as well as ‘The Sixties Scoop,’ a period in which a series of policies were enacted in Canada that enabled child welfare authorities to take, or “scoop up,” Indigenous children from their families and communities for placement in foster homes, from which they were adopted by white families. “Over the course of the Indian Act and its implementation, it governed the movement of First Nations people in every way.” “Some bits and pieces of the Indian Act or Canadian law are very outdated,” he says. Williams says people could spend time on Thursday and read the Indian Act and understand how the First Nation population on First Nations territories are governed and impacted. Ted Williams, Chief of Rama First Nation, says people can mark the day by wearing an orange shirt or an orange ribbon, though he would like Canadians to do “a little homework project” to learn more about why Canada is having the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
