Halt passenger, take heed what you do see,

This tomb doth shew, for what some men did die.

Here lies interr'd the dust of those who stood

'Gainst perjury, resisting unto blood,

Adhering to the Covenants, and laws

Establishing the same; which was the cause

Their lives were sacrific'd unto the lust

Of Prelatists abjur'd. Though here their dust

Lies mixt with murderers, and other crew,

Whom justice justly did to death pursue:

But as for them, no cause was to be found

Worthy of death, but only they were found,

Constant and stedfast, zealous, witnessing,

For the Prerogatives of CHRIST their KING.

Which Truths were seal'd by famous Guthrie's head,

And all along to Mr. Renwick's blood.

They did endure the wrath of enemies,

Reproaches, torments, deaths and injuries.

But yet they're those who from such troubles came,

And now triumph in glory with the LAMB.

____

How can you bring back artifacts back from the graveyard in magic the gathering?

Tokens go to whichever zone, and then immediately cease to exist. So while cards which say "when a creature goes to the graveyard" will trigger when tokens go there, the tokens themselves do not stay in the graveyard, they just disappear. So no, they are not there for other abilities to bring back to the battlefield.

Roman Catholic AnswerIt is not normally referred to that way, but I suppose that some would consider it a monument.

Is there a graveyard in the Sim's 2?

Not exactly. You need to first make your OWN graveyard by making an empty lot and naming whatever you want (you can simply name it 'Graveyard') and then if you play on a family and a Sim dies, you can click on their gravestone (which will appear a little after) and one option will say 'Move to another lot'. Click on it. You will then be able to choose the lot you would like to move it to. But be SURE you made the 'Graveyard' a Community lot.
