And the first King Divine named the First High Priest of the Faith of Desh. And this mans name was Akorra and his seat was Aukene.And the life of the man was as the life of any man,for in those days the High-Priest was a servant of his King.And so,one day,Ashora had Akorra undone and named his brother,the mad-man of his armies,Akula as the new Priest Most High.And all the days of his reign were three thousand ,for thereafter there came a plague into Desh and the King inquired ,yet was answered not and Akula inquired and was answered not, until Ashoras life had ended by the lake *.
