My father Jedediah, Patriarch of our Levitican faith has aged before his time. The spiritual demands of preventing backsliding have gradually taken their tool. The rest of us, all but a few, have grown stronger in our faith and are cleaving unto the Lords will. Those backsliders are an anoyance but a valuable object lesson showing what it is like to live without grace.
Four of the Soessosin Tribes have fully accepted the Faith only the Agorans continue to resist. There are sixty or so Humans onn our continent, half of them from the invasion force that failed to humble those on North Alchebah. We grow slowly but true. Economically we have more than we need and must watch the corrupting influence. The wealth we derive from the mining operation at Crater Lake is a constant inducement for people to claim they wish to join us because of believe when the real reason is out of greed. The way of the Lord is hard, but I am satisfied it has hardened me enough in turn to do what is required to work for its expansion untill all learn submission.
