Charenza
Charenza, also Karentia or Karenz, later also Gharense, was a medieval, Slavic burgwall on the island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. It was the administrative centre of the Rani tribe and of the Principality of Rugia. Today, the remnants are called Venz Castle (German: Venzer Burgwall).
Name
The name Charenza (also spelt Karentia or Karenz) may be derived from an old personal name, Chareta, or from the Rani word for "root", Koreta. In its original form, the name was Korenitza.
Temples
Charenza was not only the administrative hub of the Rani tribe, but also a religious centre with the temples of Rugievit, Porevit and Porenut. The main religious centre of the Rani, however, was Arkona on Wittow.
Danish conquest
In 1168, King Valdemar I of Denmark and his archbishop Absalon captured Arkona. Charenza surrendered a few days later after negotiations with the Rugian princes Tetzlav and Jaromar I. The temples were destroyed, the princes agreed to become Danish vassals and the population adopted the Christian faith. In 1180, the administrative centre of the Principality of Rugia was moved to Rugard (today Bergen auf Rügen, just a few kilometres to the southeast).

She Runs
by: Jimmy WayneFingertips tappin' on the table top
She's right there with you but she's not
It's like she hears other voices when you talk
She can't stop
She's gotta go, doesn't know where, don't know why
She runs away
She runs right to it
So fast she'll run right through it
I don't ask her where she has to be
But sometimes she runs to me
She's a born-again burnin' restless soul
Leaves a sweet empty place when she goes
Oh i love her and i wanna tell her so
She says don't
She can't stay, can't say why, she won't try
She runs away
She runs right to it
So fast she'll run right through it
I don't ask her where she has to be
But sometimes she runs to me
She needs to be free
But when she needs someone
She runs to me
She runs away
She runs right to it
So fast she'll run right through it
I don't ask her where she has to be
But sometimes
She runs away
She runs right to it
So fast she'll run right thourgh it
I dont ask her where she has to be
But sometimes she runs to me
Ooh (she runs)
She runs to me
