Bethi

Bethi is an Alizonian who works in the Alizon City Rehabilitation Center. She is the sister of Shere. She has a huge family of about 200 people. The family is led by patriarch Grandfather and Grandmother Three.

She helps Kaehl and Selda become accustomed to the outside world. She brings them to her family home and meetings.
Religion of Welltower

The inhabitants of Welltower worship the Framers. This seems to be a religious corruption of the original Framers, the group who built Welltower. Brother Righteous describes them as being a trinity who raised up an infinite and incorruptible tower..

The religion teaches peace, generosity, and love. It also teaches that those inside Welltower have been exalted above those abandoned outside the structure.

Meetings, called Sabbat, happen occasionally (once per week?) and involve organ music, choir singing, announcements, religious speeches, donation of goods, healing of the sick, ceremonial acceptance of repentant nonbelievers, and recitations.

The religion seeks to aid the government in confusing the inhabitants of Welltower about the true nature of the structure. That is why Brother Righteous punished Kaehl for listening to the juggler.

## The Holy Supplication

The Holy Supplication recitation is used to encourage generosity from the membership. It goes like this:

*Holy Framers*
Full of mercy, never changing Spirit
Praise the Framers!
Thou hast chosen us to be Thy holy children
and separated us by these mighty walls from our brethren and sisters
and their false ways.
Thou hast elected to exalt us
to keep us from destruction
while all around us shall be cast down to Hell
because of their wicked traditions
which lead their hearts far from Thee.
We thank thee again, Holy Framers, that we
are a chosen and a holy people.
Amen.

Members are encouraged to memorize the Holy Supplication and speak it in front of the whole congregation.

Croix Psint-Annenburg-Volta

**Croix Psint-Annenburg-Volta**is a supporting character in *War.*

In terms of the series narrative, Croix is the son of the Macaw of Psittancyna during the War, and once heir to the throne. His title of Pserex was invalidated after he joined a monastic order.

## Appearances

### *War*

Croix debuted in "Too Close to the Sun" in the year 717. He was Pserex and heir to the throne of Psittancyna, training under his father, Macaw Arini. However, he rivaled with his younger sister, Lucia Psint-Annenburg-Volta, who desperately wanted the throne over him. Croix kept his sister at bay, and had his father on his side. This changed when Lucia discovered Croix was having an affair with a chicken, taboo for the Summer Sun nation. Lucia blackmailed her brother, and he fled the capital and joined a silent monastic order called the Order of Silans at the Macaw Delta. By doing so willingly, Croix was stripped of his royal titles and his marriage to Ruba Curacaire was annulled. Croix took a vow of silence and committed himself to penance and asceticism. Back home, Lucia was elevated to Pserex.

Croix returned in "The Good Must Associate" in the year 725, eight years after he fled the Canopy. He was a devoted ascetic who had not broken his vow of silence in all that time. He had requested an hour to speak with Lucia and beg her to surrender to the Granite Bloc and fight on their side, the only chance to defeat the Vixen Queen. Lucia refused, and Croix was unable to convince her. Croix left, just as content as he had arrived, and never returned to the Canopy.

## Character

### Namesake

Croix's name comes from Saint Croix, an island in the Caribbean.

The surname of the Psittancynesian Royal Family, Psint-Annenburg-Volta, is inspired by the long names of German royal families, such as the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha which would rule the United Kingdom from 1901-present.

## Transcript

Hey, this is Tommy Vietor from "Pod Save America". I wanted to tell you about a new show from the team at *Crooked Media* that we're announcing called "Pod Save the World." For most of my life I thought that foreign policy was too complicated, kinda boring, and not really relevant to me, personally. And then I spent four years of my life working at the white house on national security issues and it was the most fascinating experience of my life. I was in the situation room the day of the Bin Laden operation, I was on foreign trips with the president, I watched deals go south and important things get accomplished. And I want you to know what that's like. I want to bring you inside the room where the big decisions were made through a series of conversations with the people who are making them because you don't need a PhD to understand or care about what's going on, but you damn well better try because these issues are gonna have an enormous impact on all of our lives. The first episode will post on Wednesday, February 1st and new episodes are going to go up twice a month after that but you can subscribe today. And come on, please do it. Do it for me, do it for Lovett, do it for "Pod Save America". You're gonna love the show. Thank you very much, check out "Pod Save the World", tell your friends, and listen to the first episode on Wednesday. It's gonna be cool.
