"Juvenal used to be a Servitor of Stone, but that didn't last long. He had too much trouble dealing with the heated emotions going on over the human proclivity for starting a century-long vendetta over six square feet of land that really didn't belong to anyone." - Juvenal, Angel of Boundaries by Moe Lane

"The first step is to identify a target, then use her Attunements and Distinction until that target is afraid of sleep itself." - Dalkiel, Lilim Dame of Restlessness by Moe Lane

"Humae has the problem with being too nice, and that has manifested into the blessing/curse of the Nice Guy Attunement. To be that damn good at your job screams Celestial to some other Celestials..." - Humae, Mercurian Choir Angel by Alex Liddell

"The Grigori as a Choir felt his passing... and couldn't care less." - Wacae, Grigori Choir Angel by Alex Liddell

"Once upon a time, Sergius was human - and, by his own later analysis, a total and complete idiot. Only an idiot, after all, would actually host a party on a holiday celebrating the old Roman Republic in Emperor Caligula's Rome." - Sergius, Grey Mummy Sorcerer by Moe Lane

"Wendy used to be just another faceless anthropology student. This annoyed her greatly: after all, was she not one of the prettiest and smartest kids in high school?" - The Great Dionysia by Moe Lane

"No, no, NO. Put down the Milton and step away slowly. The author got it confused." - Satan, Angel of Temptation by Moe Lane

"Now, imagine that you're an angel (or Archangel) wrestling with this incredible amount of frustration and shame. Misery loves company, so you've all gathered together to give each other what comfort that you may. Now imagine that you get told of demonic activity - any demonic activity. Guess what happens? " - Good Friday by Moe Lane

"All too often, children get forgotten when tragedy strikes. Many people simply don't understand that children deal with traumatic situations differently than adults do. Heaven tries to minimize the damage done to the innocent in The War, but they are not always successful." - Comfort Bears by Cameron McCurry

"The celestial suffers from a particularly bizarre condition: a short description of his, her or its current emotional state will appear on the celestial's forehead at all times." - Heart On His Sleeve (Ethereal Discord) by Moe Lane

"All in all, they thought a wonderful joke had been played. What they didn't count on was the punchline being their crucified, eviscerated Vessels being dumped off at the local Tether to Dark Humor. Servitors of Christopher may be fun loving and peaceful, but that doesn't mean that they are pushovers." - Concrete Cuddlys by Cameron McCurry

"A Scipiote's resonance is for organization: like their creator, they have an eye for the Truth (in this case, the Truly best way to arrange an area for maximum effectiveness)." - Scipiah by Moe Lane

"At any level, the sideburns appear, and cannot be removed permanently (attempting to do so will cause 1d6 Mind Hits until they grow back, which usually takes about an hour)." - Wuhh-Hunnh (Corporeal Discord) by Moe Lane

"Such a little thing, to make so many Superiors scream." - The Ring by Moe Lane

"Influenza-Calcutta 2009 was a nasty example of the disease: it had (using only corporeal treatment, of course) a 40% fatality rate, knocked survivors flat for at least three weeks, and laughed at normal containment methods." - Superior Victory: Animals by Moe Lane

"Andrealphus thought for a long time, then made her decision. She dressed in something simple, yet elegant, then proceeded to a tether." - Gone To Graveyards 2: Gone To Soldiers by Prodigal

""Truly, this is a beautiful land... I don't know if I should thank God the Purity Crusade ended before we reached it, or curse Hell for claiming a hold on it afterwards..."" - Laurence in the Land of the Kami by Rolland Therrien

"Cherub: A delight to have. He's very protective of everyone in the class. I've noticed that problems with bullying have dropped noticeably." - Teacher's Report by Cameron McCurry

""And so," Dominic continued, "I have chosen to travel to Earth, the better to clarify my own judgment."" - Gone To Graveyards 3: Gone To Young Girls by Prodigal

"Judging by the architectural styles of the skyscrapers around me, it was the U.S. I ran through skylines in my head and decided that I'd been set down in Houston, Texas. All right. That would be a good place to start." - After Hell by William J. Keith

""Now, I know what the next question is: 'But why make those organs functional?' Again, there was a practical reason: very few Roles require vows of celibacy."" - Sex Ed - Heaven by Moe Lane

"A celestial with this discord generates a sort of 'Celestial Signature' whenever they use a Song, causing physical manifestations of their nature." - Halo (Discord) by Phillip

"So, Eli, after talking with Gabriel (who announced Jesus' birth), was very interested in what would happen to this young Prophet, and, as things so happen, at the moment when Jesus was baptised by John in the Jordan River, descended from the sky in the vessel of a dove and used the Kyriotate resonance to possess the young man." - Eli the Christ? by Jonathan Walton

"Still, it does look a bit awkward that someone once known for his loud condemnation of certain policies has apparently disappeared just as the adherents of those policies are finally being fully reintegrated into Heavenly society." - St. Perfectus by Moe Lane

"While these Songs were first discovered by Jean, he is generally not credited with the accomplishment - at his own emphatic request." - Song of Words by Moe Lane

"Observers - and more importantly, the target - will see what appears to be an sudden cloud of razor sharp letters appear and pierce the target's very soul (it's called an A-bomb because, for some reason, using the letter A works better than any other letter)." - A-Bomb by Moe Lane

""And my first guest is..." He looks at the cue card, blinks, then looks at it again... then resonates it before finally tossing it in frustration at seeing it's not a prank, before he says: "Michael, The Firstborn, Archangel of War..."" - At The Movies With Dominic and Michael by Rolland Therrien

"David, in all of his Malakite glory, walks onstage -- in his usual state of (non-)attire. Dominic winces. After a shocked pause by the camerman, the camera immediately refocuses to show only a waist-up view of the two Archangels." - At The Movies With Dominic and David by Charles Glasgow

"The current design problem is reportedly incorporating translation of the file format into the Attunement. If the rumors are true, Self-Drive currently requires learning a language skill for whatever OS saved the file." - Self-Drive by Peter Eng

"At GM option, Shedim and Kyriotates may stun humans with reflections or images of their celestial form. "No Reflection" would be a favorite for Vampires." - Surreal (Corporeal Discord) by David Streeter

"The Archangels and the Demon Princes are aware of Vorp. Heaven prefers to leave it alone; even Jean is content to say that Vorp "just is" and changes the subject." - Vorp by Cameron McCurry

"There's another way to play IN cinematically, and that's to play the celestials like movie-celestials." - In Cineme by Earl Wajenberg

"I see nervous expressions on some faces and rightly so; I imagine that many of the stories you have heard have some basis in truth." - The Testament of Nehamaiah by Jo Hart

"This Celestial Discord is one of the inconvenient types that reveal the celestial's nature. It affects both angels and demons, although in a slightly different manner." - Incandescence (Celestial Discord) by Fallen Seraph

"No one remembers precisely when Moelane actually became a Superior, or how it occurred, or when he'd ever been assigned a Word for that matter, but at this stage of the game, the point is moot." - Moelane, Ofanite Archangel of Forbidden Knowledge by Michael Cleveland

"Dominic is, after all, Heaven's Grand Inquisitor, its major Boogieman. When Nikki gets involved, Angels tend to be put through a psychological wringer before being let go, and some end up getting Cast Out or worse..." - A Theory About Dominic And Gabriel by Rolland Therrien

"He was right, up to a point, you know. Not that there's anything wrong with being proud of your accomplishments, of course. When you can bloody well do it, it's not over-confidence. " - Michael's Plan by Rolland Therrien

"The others, understandably, have a narrow point of view, tending to see everything through the lens of their Word. I don't have that limitation." - Consider Marc by Benjamin Acosta

""Your side, my side, and the truth," is how he put it. I prefer to think of the three sides in a different way. To me, they are "helping Heaven, helping Hell, and helping neither."" - Consider Blades by Prodigal

"Affected humans simply feel slightly more comfortable when in range: put this relic in a crowded area (such as an airport or bus depot), and within an hour the zone of effect will be noticeably more congested than anywhere else." - Shepherd's Crook by Moe Lane

"Servitors of Flowers are the only angels that have ever exhibited this Discord, despite strenuous efforts to duplicate the effect by more militant Superiors. Novalis' Servitors universally dread acquiring BGG, as it invariably results in even more dissonance." - Big Green Guy (Corporeal Discord) by Moe Lane

"Think Corporeal for a moment. When you are so much like someone else that you can predict their actions, you know their moods and can tell their emotions from a simple amount of body language." - Consider the Rogue by Alex Liddell

"Those of my Choir have a precious gift: we know the consequences of our actions upon humans in a way that no other angels may duplicate. The delicate dance of electrons and neurons, stimulus and response, the transmutation of chemistry and physics into the soul: that is what we deal with every day of our existence." - Consider Lightning by Moe Lane

"Perhaps a part of me must acknowledge that he did show us another path... but only in the way I must acknowledge the first human to realize he could voluntarily place his arm into a meat grinder!" - Consider Something New by Rev. Pee Kitty

"It is not the truth that is important, any more than the molecules within the blooming flower are more important than the flower itself, gently spreading its petals and inviting the bee to come and drink." - Consider Revelations by Eric Burns

"They accuse both myself and those serving me of "only seeing things in black and white," in denial of the fact that this is all there is to see. All things either Are or Are Not; all questions ultimately are answered Yes or No, if you but ask them properly." - Consider Judgment by Prodigal

"Maybe that's what happens when you devour Oblivion; it stays with you, becoming a bottomless pit inside your gut, constantly gnawing at your insides, howling to be filled, if not by what you feed it, then by your own flesh, which it tears and pulls at like a clawing beast..." - Consider Hunger by Rolland Therrien

"I sang a Song of my own, and the very brush and deadwood around him rose and thrust, tripping him up. I had no doubt Novalis would have been -- well, mildly annoyed, at least. But then, she wouldn't have approved of my duty today anyway." - Muted Cacophonies by William J. Keith

"Unlike the sword, after centuries of practice I still couldn't keep this weapon from occasionally turning in my hand and injuring its wielder, but there are simply some weapons that make bearing a shield impossible. " - Honor-Bound, Geas-Bound by William J. Keith

"What one laughs at, one cannot take seriously; and what one cannot take seriously, one eventually forgets about. I am more than content to be forgotten." - Consider Protection by Moe Lane

"What sets me apart from the Host and elevates me to a higher level of being is that I'm actually trying to learn God's Will, rather than merely assuming what it is the way so many of my misguided bretheren do." - Consider Discovery by Benjamin Acosta

"We stand as alone in the crush of souls in Hell as we did in the shadow of Jacob's Ladder. The only real difference is that in Hell we know that we have no allies." - Consider Solitude by Ryan Elias

"Gentlemen, this meeting has been called not to cast blame on anyone, but to better refine our sense of priorities and our courses of action. While there is no denying that certain parties here have not accomplished quite as much as others, all of you have still proven to be acceptable." - Got Napalm? by Michael Cleveland

"For the first time in my life, someone else was talking to me as an equal. Someone listened to the questions I had, someone understood." - Consider the Inferno by Cameron McCurry

"Most Habbalah quickly discover that the quickest way to whip humans into line is to punish them when they fail to please you. But until very recently, trying to get a machine to do what you want by punishing it was an exercise in futility. " - Consider Vapula by Glenn Brown

"You can't just make up the rules as you go,after all. Doing so would be chaos, as everyone would make up rules allowing them to win, and everyone would try to force their rules on everyone else's." - Consider the Game by Rolland Therrien

"How can I answer his questions when I don't know the answers myself yet? Oh, quit looking at me. It's not that weird." - Consider the World by Matthew Gerber

"They handle their own travel, creativity and demolitions. And they insist on the exclamation mark!" - Rolebusters! by John Dallman

"When people are worried about whether they're being overheard, they have quite a few clever ways to ensure their privacy, and one of the classic methods is to go outside." - Arboreals by Moe Lane

"All they seem to want is money (as if they couldn't get it on their own, if they bothered to work for it), sex (dude, a little soap and water would do wonders there) or to have somebody killed." - Walspurgisnacht by Moe Lane

"That, after all, is what this Apocalypse is about: not fire, but ashes." - Gabriel's Own Personal Apocalypse by Julian Mensch

""Greetings, Dominic. It's a pleasure to be here. I hope you don't mind, I also invited a friend, who's a bit more of an expert in Ancient Egyptian culture then I am."" - At The Movies With Dominic And Blandine by Rolland Therrien

"Knowing Vapula, it'll blow up in an entertaining fashion (the advantage of this is that he'll still try if even if it's actually impossible in your particular campaign): that's why there's an Archangel of Technology in the first place." - Superior In A Can by Moe Lane

"Lilith is most certainly not stupid, and she realised that while she is indeed unique, and therefor valuable, if she ever gave Lucifer reason to replace her, he would." - A Postulate About Lilith by Phillip

"The Order of St. Athanasius is exactly as advertised: a minor Episcopalian religious Order with no secret links to the War at all (just like most religious Orders, churches, mosques, synagogues, stone circles or even flat rocks)." - The Order of St. Athanasius by Moe Lane

"The Discord works by changing a Vessels metabolic structure so that it only works under sunlight. Celestials who don't stay in the Sun find themselves lethargic and unable to perform most simple tasks without re-energising their cells first." - Photosynthesis (Celestial Discord) by Alex Liddell

"Death was a fascinating force, but it was, truth be told, slow and inefficient. Anyone could see that the ultimate end of the universe was death, so why stand around doddling? Wouldn't it be better to help everything along a little?" - Amalgam: Vapulinga by Jonathan Walton

"Anybody who shows knowledge of this letter is to be reported, priority alpha-two-alpha." - The Sealed File: Document 1 by Genevieve "Maya" Cogman

"Other angels, Superiors or not, find Yvaal to be ... baffling. At least one of his many incarnations spends all of his time in the Library of Scripture, where every written testament to God's glory and truth is kept." - Amalgam: Yvaal by Jonathan Walton

"Nowadays, Andrevid still works hard to promote his Word in the Symphony, but it is tempered by that sense of betrayal so long ago. He despises anyone who would seek to destroy relationships, a throwback to his Mercurian nature." - Amalgam: Andrevid by Phillip

"The Archangel of Judgment was caught in a quandary - his keeping her in Heaven, away from her proper function, was clearly unjust - but his sending her to Earth would also endanger one of Heaven's most important assets in the War." - Servants of the Fallen: Ember by Manny Nepumecino

"In the confusion that followed the exile of one of Heaven's Choirs, the absence of a single, freshly-minted Malakite was overlooked." - Servants of the Fallen: Michelle by Manny Nepumecino

"Needless to say, the casting out of his entire Choir came as a shock to Spyd. He'd spent years in faithful service to Heaven and the Lord Commander of its armies, and what did he get? There was no justice in the verdict, no justice at all." - Servants of the Fallen: Spyd by Manny Nepumecino

"However, this new Tether has not yet been stabilized, partially because its celestial focus is alternating between Lilith's Guildhall ... and Michael's section of the Groves." - Forts Laredo & Guadelupe Tether by Moe Lane

"At any rate, Jean had apparently (very calmly, rationally and objectively) decided that the world had gone too long without Wisdom. Calmly, rationally, objectively - and worst of all, sanely - he spent centuries Collecting her Forces as they became available." - Amalgam: Raphael/Belael/Raplial? by Moe Lane

"Yves, for his part, understands her Need to kill demons, and even instructs his Malakim to work closely with her. After all, she knows the enemy better than they do." - Servants of the Fallen: Ephesus by Manny Nepumecino

"Soon after recovering from trauma, Rashagal was informed by Asmodeus himself that whatever he had done to get people's attention had been quite effective and that he was never, ever to do it again without clearing it with him first." - Rashagal's Rape Whistle by Michael Cleveland

"He was supposed to be the next Angel of One Bad Mother... (Shut Your Mouth), but there was this weird twanging sound, everything went all bluish-purple for a moment and suddenly there was a small white kitten sitting on the floor of the Seraphim Council chambers looking around and desperately trying not to swear." - Hemah, Angel of Big-Eyed Fluffy Kittens by Moe Lane

"TWANG!

"Ouch."" - Superior Roles: Litheroy by Moe Lane

"While attractive, by modern standards it's extremely gaudy: the hassles of owning it overwhelm whatever modest advantages are gained from using it." - The Crown of St. Edbert by Moe Lane

"These Songs were first discovered by ethereals, centuries before the Purity Crusade. Heaven acquired them during that conflict (using somewhat impolite methods): Hell merely forced their tame gods to cough up the knowledge." - Song of Reincarnation by Moe Lane

"This drew the attention of Judgment in short order. They interrogated him mercilessly over the course of several days. They feared that Maguel was on the road to teaching people about being Slothful and were determined to put an end to him right then and there." - Maguel, Angel of Relaxation by Cameron McCurry

"You have to ask yourself, "Which is a more pleasing mental image: Laurence using this ability to reward only his most dutiful and potent of Servitors, or Laurence using this ability to arm a hundred scared humans trapped in a toy store so that they may go out and give a bunch of Calabim the surprise of their miserable lives?"" - Plastic He-Man Hollow Sword Of Doom by Moe Lane

"When Baal rebelled against Heaven, Haniel felt a divine fury rise within him. He denied the anger, refusing the lure of the dark wings...and learned, for the first time, what it meant to become dissonant. He has never become dissonant since." - Servants of the Fallen: Haniel by Manny Mepumecino

"If you study enough of the reports of appearances of the Holy Grail, a pattern starts to emerge -- the use of its Songs is said to be, rather than an imposition of a foreign theme on to the Symphony, an enhancement and reinforcement of the themes already there." - Liriel Grail-Chaser by William J. Keith

"His walkabout around the world has raised a few ires in (Heaven/ Gaming Companies [as appropriate]). He can create, destroy, and Beat People Up. R!/S! T!/U! V?/X? W!/Y! Z" - Button Men: Eli by Daniel Sauve

"It was possessing a fairly large potato patch in Buenos Aires when the unthinkable happened: Haagenti came along." - Spud, Angel of Potatoes by Manny Nepumecino

"Heaven and Hell have spent so much time fighting each other since then that they forget to look at the quiet places. The Grigori have learned to be quiet." - Consider Song by Moe Lane

"These are not canon. These are not even canon in an "IMC" sense. These are based off of a "what-if" at 3am that is loosely connected to some IMC stuff." - Urim (New Band) by Beth McCoy

"(VOICEOVER/LILITH: "For the Salvation of the World.")" - In Anime Movie Trailer by S.D. Ryukage

"Seeing as it's dissonant for them to ignore secrets that are harmful to anyone, they tend to worry about ineffability more than the norm. They worry a lot more. After all, if you can't know something, it's effectively a secret, correct?" - Worrying About Ineffability by Moe Lane

"The amusing part is that in Hell it's a good defensive tactic, too: a Word like that isn't likely to grow into other Words, and so other demons wouldn't feel threatened by his existance, and thus probably wouldn't be wasting resources to kill him." - Pudding Words by Phillip

"In another world, everything was much as our own for a great many eons, and we pick up the story shortly after humans come onto the scene..." - Mirror IN: The History by Santiago

"He's there to serve, and he serves well. He also gets to catch all the home football games, which is nice." - Testudo, Ethereal Mascot by Moe Lane

"Horse is, frankly, impossible. Horses don't become ghosts. They also don't have 7 Forces in life. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to explain this to Horse." - Horse by Moe Lane

"Of course, any group that deliberately refers to the Old Crusade as 'The Day of Purification of All Things' while in the presence of Heliopolitans isn't going to be known for subtle jokes (or tact, for that matter)." - Incense of Purification by Moe Lane

"I laughed my ass off whenever I saw Data from Star Trek: he reminded me so much of a Seraph I once knew. Pedantic, never used contractions, always metaphorically humming the tune just a shade off-key - if Data had just had the habit of occasionally screaming in Urdu right before lopping off a demon's head, he'd been a dead ringer." - Consider Grunts by Moe Lane

"Why work for middle management when you can be an independent contracter. Why accept the treadmill when you can be pushing the buttons instead?" - Consider Turncoats by Eric Burns

"Too many Soldiers were being treated as disposable tools by the angels that worked with them. Yes, they recognized that they were fighting for the greater good, but it was hard to keep that in mind when you could barely afford rent on a room because you kept getting called away from your job at the last minute." - People Net by Cameron McCurry

"Other angels react at -1 to those with DKHOS: it's a sign that somebody wasn't paying attention in class..." - Doesn't Know His Own Strength (Corporeal Discord) by Moe Lane

"Yeah, I know who you are. Ask me if I care, you genocidal bastard." - Consider Believers by Moe Lane

"In this world, the fundamental division between Heaven and Hell isn't about selflessness versus selfishness. Instead, it's more about conformity versus choice." - Mirror In Nomine: Mechanics by Santiago

"This unfortunate Discord only appears in Servitors of Stone: those with it are extraordinarily sensitive to strong emotional energy that has been expended by those around them.

"Of course, there are plenty of other possibilities for each of these, but this is my list..." - Celestial Gatherings by C. McLaren

"As a general note, there is a definite tendency for demons to overcompensate for their former Diabolic attitudes and mannerisms. This is not a hard and fast rule, but it should be considered ... especially as it may not always be a positive step towards psychological well being." - Dealing With The Redeemed by Moe Lane

"Credit Rating: This attunement allows the angel the ability to pay essence for 'hired' artifacts." - Additional Attunements for Trade by James Walker

"New Discords for Traders. Midas Touch & Haggling are also appropriate for demons of Greed, Rules Lawyer for Gamesters." - Discords for Trade by James Walker

"Because it's a pure shame what they're planning to do to Clive's books, and he's too proud to ask for our help..." - Twisted Revenge Fantasy by Moe Lane

"The base fine is $1.00 per Ethereal Force that the target has (smarter people should know better)..." - More New Trade Attunements by Michael Walton

"They would be places of neutrality, where angels of Flowers and perhaps Lightning and Destiny could work to learn what motivates demons so that they could be better Redeemed." - Embassies of Flowers by Charles E. Smith

"Granted, even she had to realize that a military response was required in this situation, but by now he'd come to expect a few mild barbs to have been tossed out at Laurence. Perhaps it was simply her acknowledgement that violence had become necessary, but his finely-tuned senses told him that there was something more to it..." - Reaping What One Sows by Michael Cleveland

"Certainly Janet's has an outstanding record. The fact that they are routinely letter bombed is not mentioned, except when explaining to suspicious government officials why Janet's will not list a street address." - Janet's Temps (Organization) by James Walker

"Sometimes your assignments are so ineffable that you question your sanity and/or faith, but you can't talk to anyone about it because a priest will think you blasphemous and your therapist will diagnose you as dangerously delusional." - Gold Cross / Gold Shield by Eric Bertish

"The "coin" of the Celestial Plane's economy is generally taken to be Essence. This is fine and good, and Marc, as an eminently practical Archangel, usually goes along with this. But remember that Marc invented the idea of money, and he has reasons for wanting to apply it to the Celestial Plane, too. " - Talents by Earl Wajenberg

"Each of the two discovered that he wasn't the only celestial in the room at roughly the same time: in fact, they came to this realization while reaching for the same sugar packets." - Execution by Moe Lane

"Seneschals may be Word-bound to their Tethers. This process grants the Seneschal significant abilities beyond that granted by simply attuning them to the Tether; however, it also afflicts them with the main disadvantage of a Word, namely, the prospect of going into decline and eventually dying with their Tether." - Word-binding Seneschals by William J. Keith

"Admittedly, Jean was never one to act quite as irrational as the two Malakim, but he was blinking and making facial expressions, which was always an indicator for him." - Another Take On Novalis by Michael Cleveland

"The Roman goddess Athena was doing her usual housecleaning (well, temple-cleaning) when she came across something that she could swear wasn't there last century. What it was, nobody in Heaven or Hell is quite sure ... but very shortly after she found whatever-it-was, three Tethers to Nightmares exploded quite messily." - Athena's Device by Moe Lane

"Sometimes, the rest of Heaven really wonders about Yves." - Mrflglim: the Translators by Matthew Gerber

"Of course, rumors in Hell are about as common as flies around rotten meat (and as about as hard to get rid of), but this particular one is noteworthy, not least because repeating it aloud is a good way to have your Forces scattered." - Assassins by Moe Lane

"It seems that she chooses people at random, but always finds the right person to help at the right time." - Tabatha by Cameron McCurry

"Your Grace, this is a copy of a letter found during a routine security check on the exorcist Sandra Bethany. The original has been left untouched, and another copy sent to Judgement." - A Sorcerer's Tale by James Walker

"A letter posted near Tethers of Lightning, Faith, Judgement, and Destiny." - A Balseraph's View by Charles E. Smith

"For those who need a reason why the flower children aren't all munched by the frothing demon hordes..." - Novalis Servitor Attunement: Rose Thorns by Vaughn Romero

"This attunement, recently developed as a way to help humans figure it out for themselves, costs 1 essense to use, and requires a successful Intelligence roll on the part of the Angel." - Jean Servitor Attunement: Tech Support by Phillip Des Jardins

"This attunement, which requires 2 essence to use and a successful Will roll, causes the victim, who must be in the midst of operating a machine of some sort, to completely lose any technological skills they may have, without actually realising this." - Vapula Servitor Attunement: Bonehead User From Hell by Phillip Des Jardins

"A Probability Nail is just that: a regular-looking, possibly slightly rusty, broken iron nail. Those with sufficient experience will recognize the nail as being the sort that is used in shoeing horses." - Probability Nail by Moe Lane

"The Demon of Sock Puppets has a problem. The Dot COM pet store for which he was the company mascot has gone bust. After years of TV ads, pet store openings, and interviews on Good Morning America, Ishmakiel is a media meme that has outlived his usefulness." - Sock It To 'Em by Vaughn Romero

""Hold now, evil villains!"
"Joey," said the Kurth, a mild mannered Djinn, "we're the evil villains."

"How does one go about redefining the meaning of a word, even an innocuous one like Spam?" - All Hail Spam! by Anthony Damiani

"Dreaming up Fates & Destinies as fast as PCs can gain the essence to feed Divine Destiny/Fated Future gain be difficult." - Fateful Fairy Stories by James Walker

"It all started, innocuously enough, with the Halls of Progress. You'd be surprised how often it all starts with the Halls of Progress, actually: even before the Archangel of Creation's little walkabout, that Cathedral was known for producing some very interesting changes to the social dynamic." - Screamers by Moe Lane

"But let's face it; everyone has their breaking point. There comes a time when you have to stop being nice and smack someone around." - The Partition by Cameron McCurry

"What would happen if Vapula, through complete accident, tore a hole in the spacetime continuum that the PCs fell through?" - Mirror, Mirror by Erich Arendall

"Hell does not have a legitimate publishing industry, obviously: if they did, then they'd have to publish books, and of course you can't let books be freely available in Hell (if you could, then it wouldn't be Hell in the first place)." - Printer's Devils by Moe Lane

"The world is written not in Heaven, but in the heavens, in the stars." - Kochab, Renegade Calabite Prince of Constellations by Erich S. Arendall

"Of course, if the person being resonated is a Seraph, he will be using his true name, so it won't help." - Seraphim, Mercurians, and True Names by Janet Anderson

"They stood there arrayed acros the marches, two vast armies each numbering as the stars. The horsemen rode, the beast was loosed, and The End had been decreed. Seas of blood, third of the earth burned up and all that. The time had come for the final battle." - The Final Battle by Anthony Damiani

"As Robert Adams once said, when push comes to shove a 'gentleman' fights with whatever weapons are at hand." - Baal's Sword by Moe Lane

""Anything capable of storing and/or emitting energy can be made to explode." - Mike's Maxims for Maximizing Military Mayhem (Malakite)" - Jangling by Moe Lane

"Seraphim: "Truth can rip the heart out of an opposing force just as well as a physical weapon. Of course, physical weapons work better on tanks, so bring along a good supply of both." " - Mike's Maxims For Maximizing Military Mayhem by Moe Lane

"I am a mere Balseraph, some say, or perhaps a bit of Yves cast aside and into Hell. Some even rumor that I am some fragment of God itself fallen from grace, or perhaps a refugee from some Symphony that existed before our own." - Consider Fate by Prodigal

"How Sorcerers grow quiet when they hear of this blasphemous book. It's hard to tell whether it's the quiet of fear, or the quiet of utter greed: both reactions would make sense." - The King In Yellow by Moe Lane

"The god Janus has two faces, each looking away from the other." - Human Perceptions: Another Theory On Janus/Valefor by S.D. Ryukage

"It's interesting (if not particularly surprising) that Jean is absolutely indifferent about actually naming his creations. If it's a gun, he calls it a gun. If it's a particle accelerator, he calls it a particle accelerator. If it's a computerized mechanical tool designed to resemble a corporeal life form, he calls it a computerized mechanical tool designed to resemble a corporeal life form. Jean prefers things to be clear." - The Necronomicon, v2.3 by Moe Lane

"This attunement allows the angel, with a touch, to negate almost all of the weight and inertial mass of an object, making it as light and as easy to move as a feather." - Janus Servitor Attunement: He Ain't Heavy... by Douglas Muir

"Whenever the player is stuck for an idea at a critical time and as long as he is around something with an electrical power supply the GM should reveal to the player what to do." - Three Servitor Attunements for Jean by Alex Liddell

"In the Spring of 2001, the Demon of Murder Mysteries, a relatively minor Impudite of Secrets, hit on a strategy that worked: the A.I. Interactive Game." - The Online Conspiracy by Eric Burns

"Scroud is that rare but dangerous thing: an intelligent, thoughtful Calabite. Like Haagenti, he worked his way up from the ranks over many centuries; like Valefor, he claimed his Word by eliminating the previous Word-holder." - Proto-Superior: Scroud, Demon of Squalor by Douglas Muir

"Zoroastrianism was Yves and Eli dry-running monotheism. So why did Yves set Michael up as Ormazd, the god-head figure for the religion?" - Ormazd by Fallen Seraph

"The demon (of Lust, natch, and go ahead and keep your mind in the gutter) who discovered this Song was looking for an Ornamental NC -- but what it found was much, much, much more interesting." - Numinous Corpus: Goo by Beth McCoy

"I keep coming back to the scenes in the Sandman comics where you would see the Endless from the perspective of another character. Martian Manhunter saw the flaming head-thing, Bast saw a big, black cat with red eyes. Something about this strikes me as Right." - Religions, Concepts, Words, and whatnot by Robb Kidd

"Popular theory has it that the new holder of the Word of Despair was behind the following destruction of his Habbalite competitor's Heart and corporeal form, sending the other demon to Limbo for a number of centuries, so that Perdix could gather his power. It's the type of cunning that is expected to have kept the holder of such a powerful Word alive for so long." - Proto-Superiors: Perdix, Demon of Despair by Erich Arendall

"While there, they several times encountered a Malakite of the Sword, one Vidatsy by name, who had a hook at the end of his arm. Vidatsy was missing a hand. And it wasn't just his Vessel, either -- Vidatsy had the Crippled Discord at level 3." - Plot Hook: Vidatsy by Douglas Muir

"Though even then, she knew she was something more than just another Punisher. Jahi felt sure that Fate held some higher calling for her... and she developed the habit of collecting things that might help her someday, even in the very distant future, when that calling was revealed." - Proto-Superior: Jahi, Demon of Inheritance by Douglas Muir

"This Servitor Attunement originated with the Wind, but certain other Archangels began crafting their own versions, as well. It was either that or watch their Servitors fall over themselves to do favors for Janus." - Variable Gravity Field by Moe Lane

"Blur: The player's image becomes indistinct as with motion blur for a number of minutes equal to the player's level in the Song." - Numinodes Corpi by Michael Walton

"Since attunements can outlive Superiors, there would probably still be a few of these floating around. Not too many after 3,000 years, but a few." - Attunements for Oannes, Archangel of the Waters by Douglas Muir

"This discord most commonly manifests among demons of the Media (particularly in Asia,) but those serving Dark Humor run the closest of seconds (largely due to Kobal taking grim amusement in forcing it upon those among his servitors who don't know when to shut up around him)." - Bad Dubbing (Corporeal Discord) by Prodigal

"This attunement requires that the Angel using it be attacked first. By dodging/ blocking, or otherwise avoiding or countering the attack, and then taunting his foe, the Angel gains a bounce to his fighting skill." - Your Kung Fu Is Weak (Servitor Attunement) by Daniel Sauve

""Belial!" spaketh Gabriel, an essence-filled froth erupting from the Archangel's celestial mouth. "Prince of the Mountain of Flame, Lighter of the Pit of Darkness, Fire, oh Fire! Why did you take it from me, why?! Oh, traitor! Lackey of Lucifer! Do you think the two of you can steal my Fire?! Light and Destruction do not a Fire make! Etc. Etc. Etc!"" - Everybody Loves Belial: The Prophecy and the Ofanite by Jonathan Walton

"Cephalopods -- especially octopi -- have soft, compressible bodies. The smaller ones can squeeze themselves through a hole the size of a quarter; any of them can fit through a hole half the diameter of its head." - Cephalopod Vessels by Michael Walton

"When you're on good terms with the Media, it's expected that you'll take a look at what's on the tube every once in a while. And the title of the show... intrigued Lord Andre. It certainly sounded like it might have possibilities. (WARNING: Somewhere between PG-13 and R.) " - Touched By An Angel, Andrealphus Style by Jaymiel

"But James still stays away from the fighting as best he can. Let the Celestials fight each other; he's content to protect humanity. " - James, Saint of War by Cameron McCurry

"What if Demonic forces, when added to an Undead, did more then just give them Attunements? What if it altered the Undead itself?" - Undead Quirks by Rolland Therrien

"Azrael, Archangel of Death*: These Grigori can see the last few seconds of a person's life by looking into their eyes and making a successful resonance roll. They will also know whether a person died from Celestial intervention or not." - Grigori Servitor Attunements by Michael Cleveland

"That first shock of peace, serenity and surcease that flows over a human as he or she realizes that, yes, the bad things are over for the rest of eternity... well, it does good things to an angel's own sense of well-being. You can soak up the tranquility like a sponge. " - Cadre. by Moe Lane

"Really, there is a vast pool of celestial talent out there just going to waste. Talent that, whilst it has crossed the line and declared its independence, could still be useful to either Heaven or Hell. And come to think of it, sometimes jobs come up that truly require secret and expendable operatives." - Universal Exports by Jo Hart

"Yup, Sparky only thought that he had cleaned out Vapula's stash of vintage anime tapes. Incidentally, the VCR of the Prince of Technology is a subtle and frightening artifact, indeed ... but that's for another time. " - Wave Motion Gun by Moe Lane

"Yes, I've heard of this "Consider" series of Interviews. I decided to participate, just for fun. I hope you appreciate the trouble I've gotten through for you. The Lord of Hell has a busy schedule." - Consider the Lightbringer by Rolland Therrien

"Dwarves are short, stocky humanoids evolved (one could even say 'engineered') to live in underground environments. " - Dwarves by Moe Lane

""Correct me if I am wrong," he said, "but I have the impression that the Vapulan assigned to monitor the system is not as efficient as he might be."" - Recruiting Project by Maya

"Halflings appear upon first glance to be a variant sub-race of Humanity: their most notable difference is their height (their name is derived from the fact that the average Halfling is about half the size of a Human)." - Halflings by Moe Lane

"(What, you thought spiral galaxies got that shape by themselves? Yeah, yeah, gravitational dynamics. Who do you think implements that gravitational dynamics?)" - Chezeqim, Angels of Strength by Earl Wajenberg

"Belial was as angry as he had ever been in his entire existence. He had lost the rebellion. He was not, as he had been promised, the Archangel of Fire. Now, he was stuck in the pitch black with a dying leader and a bunch of annoying, spineless, fools. And he had wandered for over a month without his vision and had not found a scrap of anything.

And the mountain was going to pay." - Everyone Loves Belial #2: Fire In The Hole by Jonathan Walton

"Sir Laurence's vassals were silent for a moment: finally, one spoke. "A wondrous design, Lar - Commander Sir Laurence. When were you planning to make a full sized version?" " - How The Ellyllon Earned Their Honor by Moe Lane

"Trying to kidnap Archangels is really rather hard. It usually fails, painfully, and it's kind of hard to make the act, in itself, serve a demonic Word." - One Of Our Archangels Is Missing by John Dallman

"There are a number of North Poles - in addition to the two geographical options, Greenland & Finland both have tourist traps claiming the title. THE North Pole, however, is part of Valhalla, and from it Odin rewards children who have been 'good' (i.e., sent him essence) with presents every Winter Solstice." - Norse Tether: The North Pole by James Walker

"Odin doesn't have that many warriors on earth; they don't often die valiantly in battle; and even when they do it's uncommon for the Aurora Borealis to be in the sky. But when they do..." - Norse Tether: The Valkyria by James Walker

"None of them can see me as I crouch by the window. I know this, because they haven't come out to kill me." - Outside, Looking In by Moe Lane

"You can Dream anywhere." - Fantasy Worlds by James Walker

"Remnants of Stone are particularly hard to find - any rock, statue or gargoyle could be a soul-killed Trog. Still, no one is terribly surprised that Baal was able to find one. What does surprise people is that he was able to find a silicon based life form." - Trolls by James Walker

"Even the Archangel of Flowers needs an impressive escort occasionally, and although not fond of intimidation Novalis does prefer it to bloodshed." - Ent by James Walker

"If a human gets flung out of a lake in front of a warrior, he'll be lucky if he isn't burnt as a witch. Throw a sword though, and the warrior will sweep it up and declare himself the rightful king of England." - Magical Swords by James Walker

"As a First Race (again, with Humanity), Elves have no special patron among the Archangels anymore: they are watched over by all of Heaven impartially." - Elves by Moe Lane

"Dragons, Mummies, Liches, Sorcerers - all need a hoard of gold and jewels. Otherwise where's the point?" - Hoards-R-Us by James Walker

"The Lich is probably one of the highest forms of Undead, the type of creature that all necronmancers aspiring to immortality (which pretty much means all of them) long to become." - The Lich by Benjamin Acosta

"When Heaven discovered the existence of the Broken Races, a great deal of energy was expended trying to heal them - nearly as much as was spent trying to destroy them." - Druedain by James Walker

"Sister Shannon Masters, aka Warrior Nun Areala, simply smiled as she raised her sword, readying herself to rid the Earth of yet another Hellspawn. "Oh crap, indeed, Demon-Born."" - The Warrior Nuns by Rolland Therrien

"It was not like God speaking through Metatron -- angels old enough to remember understood that there was a critical difference, but would not be able to explain precisely what it was. There was, however, no doubt in anyone's mind that it was God him/her/itself speaking to them all, and that He/She/It had come in response to their need." - The New Commander (A Heresy) by Manny Nepumecino

"Most Lilim ultimately swear to a Prince. Either they are tired of constantly being hounded by other demons, the Game, or, more likely, they find the rewards of joining a Prince's hierarchy, including titles, retainers, and advancement, to outweigh the benefits of staying neutral." - Lilim Roles by Emily Dresner-Thornber

"There are a lot of mundanes in Heaven's service, and most of them have the Lucid Dreaming skill. Over the years they've crafted their Dreamscapes into places of beauty, wonder - and often extreme usefulness." - DreamNet by James Walker

"Humans aren't terribly skilled at dealing with supernatural crimes, but enough have happened over the years for them to take some precautions. Anytime a crime involves something supernatural, whether it be the criminal sacrifices cats before robbing a store, or witnesses insisting that the criminal could fly, or even the police doctor insisting that the accused is, in fact, dead (and that his ability to to walk and talk is beside the point) then once arrested the accused is sent to Bechley." - Bechley Prison by James Walker

"The first Balrog was a Renegade Shedite who, without a host or any essence, was only saved from soul-death by a favourable Intervention. Laurence killed it personally, but it had already passed on the technique to other demons." - Balrogs by James Walker

"I have, in my own little universe over here, generally determined that a Superior using its own resonance has, well, the Superior-level version of it. (We will not talk about Andrealphus and Impudite Charm here, plus Word-leakage.)" - Superior-level Resonance by Beth McCoy

"Although Saminga claims to have complete control of all Undead, it wasn't difficult for Mammon's Servitors to bribe a Necromancer to design a new type of Undead for them." - Barrow Wights by James Walker

"Although the Greatest Rings were destroyed or lost their power many millennia ago, Magic Rings still turn up in the hoards of Dragons or Undead." - Magic Rings by James Walker

But I came in through the window! " - The Thief by James Walker

"Two separate though related races of Mermaids exist. 'True' Mermaids are descended from dolphins and a rogue Grigori; 'lesser' mermaids are descended from dugongs and one or more ethereals." - Mermaids by James Walker

"Despite the propaganda, not every dragon perished during the purity crusade." - On Dragons by Jo Hart

"Whether you're a Fairy Godmother, budding sorcerer or elven queen, your magic wand is an essential piece of equipment." - Magic Wands by James Walker

"Ethereals aren't all "people". Some of them are things or places. Since distance isn't really a concept in the Marches, they can be very large places." - The Culture by John Dallman

"The Book of Antioch details a simple ritual that enables a team of two Soldiers (the chanter and the bearer) to convert a censer or censor like object to an explosive device, similar to a grenade." - The Book of Antioch by Harvey Mills

"You think that demons are the experts at character assassination? Please: those guys have no inter-Word cohesion." - Dirty Tricks by Moe Lane

"For the longest time, Horace didn't exactly know who - or what - he was. As far as he could tell, he was just like any other human: some of his earliest memories were hazy, but he could remember growing up normally. But he wasn't normal - and the older he got, the more incongruous things seemed." - Horace, Mercurian of [White Noise] IST War by Moe Lane

""Do as thou wilt," Eli had said, "but be Cool."" - Do As Thou Wilt (An Exercise In Habbalogic) by A. Damiani

"Zombis are often abandoned: left for dead, sent on one way missions, given orders and forgotten. Other outlast their creators, or were created purely out of spite." - Variations on Zombies by James Walker

"In a darker setting, it isn't a nice thing to be a Malakite in love." - An In Nomine Poem by Philip Barkow

"Appearing to be nothing more than a rather worn out old baseball bat, the Ugly Stick is in fact a Relic, imbued with a very specific variant of the Celestial Song of Form." - The Ugly Stick by Richard C. Hanton-Rutherford

"The tragic thing about Phanuel is that he was personally a wonderful entity to know, both as an angel and as an Archangel: joyful, hopeful, compassionate, hardworking and moral. The Archangel of Faith had no enemies among the Host - even among the Malakim (who were traditionally highly disdainful of the Grigori)." - Phanuel, Outcast Grigori Archangel of Faith by Moe Lane

"It all began when Hatiphas struck a deal with God." - Socerer's World: Introduction by James Walker

"It was in the dawn of time, when the world was still damp and marked more clearly with the thumbprints of its Creator, that she first trod the empyreal marches. The stars rose in her eyes, and the moon caught in her hair like a silver comb, and she was the most beautiful and the most terrible of all the angelic spirits." - How Beleth Took The Veil by Jo Hart

"They've recorded that Uriel was Christian. They never said that he was Catholic." - The Matropater Faithful by Maya Cogman

"It was...creepy to scholars of the War on both side when it turned out that neither side had apparently won. The Archangels and Demon Princes had simply...annihilated each other." - Serendipity, Mercurian Archangel of Light by Charles E. Smith

"As Blandine and Beleth lay dying, their remaining Forces flowed together like twin streams of blood and pooled. Their hatred and love for each other spent, all that remained were the last fragments of their respective Words." - Beldine: Introduction by Eric Bertish

"A zombified human Demon Princess, a mockery of a mockery of the Fallen Angels, Lilith is the only canon Superior to still visit the Sorcerer's world." - Sorcerer's World: Lilith by James Walker

"Sometimes they win. Sometimes they lose. And sometimes, Judgment guns a few down in anonymous warehouses with submachine guns." - A Question of Legality by Emily Dresner-Thornber

"The old Impudite waited patiently as the children huddled together. Outside the carbon storm raged, diamond sharp dust ripping at the stone walls. The storm would not breach the walls tonight, he thought." - Rebel Planet: Introduction by James Walker

"The forces of Hell thought they had the upper hand. They drove towards Heaven, forcing the gates open with the sheer numbers of their horde. They actually thought they could pull it off this time." - Successors: War by Amanda Kilgore

"The new Archangel of Light received her Word directly from God, of course; others were appointed from among the high ranking Servitors of the deceased Superiors. Calliel is one of these successors." - Calliel, Archangel of Peace by Michael Walton

"He is Barsoom. He is Doorsha. He is Northwest Smith. He is both John Carters. He is the tragically doomed race of the Martian Chronicles. He is Valentine Michael Smith and Podykane. The face that some have seen in the sands is his face. He knows every eddy and wave of the canals that never graced the Red Planet, and has sipped imaginary wine in Helium's nonexistent towers." - Mars, Ethereal God by Moe Lane

"The Malakim must constantly dance the balance between Power and Honor, between Fury and Duty. A reliever who wants to join the ranks of the Virtues must learn to look beyond the "cool" fighting power of the Malakim, to look at the self-restricting strictures of the Malakite Codes of Honor." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Malakite by Rolland Therrien

"He knew that there was still one chance, something he could do. A final chance for victory." - Successors: War, Section 2 by Amanda Kilgore

"Seraphim love Heaven, and when they travel to earth, it's to make earth a little more like Heaven. But that's not something they can really explain - it's too personal, needs to be experienced." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Seraph by James Walker

"It is impossible to say just when the Shekinah came to Heaven. Time in the Heavenly Sphere does not work as mankind reckons, after all. What is known is that upon one day, there was the sound of triumphals throughout all of Heaven, as Gabriel -- who herself was already removed from the Heavenly Host -- did play upon her Horn." - Sandalphon, The Shekinah, Archangel of the Presence by Eric A. Burns

"Armageddon did not go at all as planned." - Successors: To Reign In Hell (Introduction) by Michael Walton

"Coming into existence without skills or other resources, a demonling's one advantage is that he speaks Helltongue fluently. As the Damned need to learn Helltongue quickly so they can obey demonic orders, it wouldn't be difficult for a demonling to attach himself to a human to arrange a trade." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Impudite by James Walker

"Even in Heaven, there is much to grieve over. An angel's Heart should be a thing of beauty, joy - to see the angel wrapped around it Traumatised, or worse to see the Heart cracked, or even shattered, will pain the most jaded." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Malakite (another take) by James Walker

"Have you ever thought about what kind of temptation the Humanity Attunement would be for Djinn?" - The Love Song of Djinn Asmodeus, Prince by Moe Lane

"The first thing that the aspiring Ofanite must have is a love of motion. This may seem blindingly obvious, but it's more than a love of going from Point A to Point B in a straight line while ignoring Obstacles C, D, and E." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be An Ofanite by Cameron McCurry

"There are numerous tales to tell about Armageddon. The Servitors of Yves are working around the clock to file them all properly and they are told to anyone who wants to hear them." - Successors: A New Archangel by Cameron McCurry

"Demons make great liars - so long as they are not Balseraphs." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Balseraph by James Walker

"The coming of the Shekinah to Heaven created a considerable stir -- in part because of Sandalphon's mere existence. By appearing as the Archangel of the Presence, Sandalphon had restored an immediacy of the Divine in Heaven." - Sandalphon: The Senegorin by Eric A. Burns

"It's nice to be reminded how insignificant the Damned really are. And to stick the boot in while the Damned are too stunned to respond." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Shedite by James Walker

"Belial had felt the link spark into life, broadcasting the appearance of yet another fragment of Hell on Earth, and had eagerly jumped up to stabilize it ... but he had been temporarily distracted by yet another - oh, wonderful day! - fireball to the south of whatever human nation he was in today. Of course, he had to go see that one, too. No Tether there, but it was nice and toasty while it lasted." - A Demonic Tether? by Moe Lane

"For example, a Reliever who is likely to fledge Ofanite prefers flying, and indeed prefers it so much that he's rarely stopping; by 7 or 8 Forces, he's trailing little flakes of light or energy wherever he goes." - Changes in Fledging by William J. Keith

"These relics are interesting, to say the least. They have the ability to temporarily send someone to Limbo, regardless of whether they have a functioning Heart or not ... or even if they happen to be celestial. This makes them popular. They also have a distressing tendency to implode. This makes them unpopular, too." - The Limbo Cannon by Moe Lane

"The Symphony finds ways to fight back. Humans were meant to be more than celestial vessels, after all." - Disadvantage: Allergic by Manny Nepomuceno

"It's Heaven's worst nightmare. Eli, Archangel of Creation, has finally surfaced, and he's involved in one of Nybbas's biggest projects." - Adventure Seed: Buoyancy by Manny Nepomuceno

"Like most people, he'd always found it somewhat relaxing to spend a few moments marvelling at the monuments to financial prosperity that rose like outstretched hands towards the Heavens. And like so many other people, when he looked at the gap in the city's landscape, he couldn't find that small amount of comfort that had been there a few days before." - The Trade by Michael Cleveland

"That's why I shattered my Heart and ran. There is a shadow in heaven, and it falls heavy on us all." - Fledging Grigori by Fallen Seraph

"It's amazing how many Soldiers Uriel had. Not surprising really, given that he was Commander of the Armies of God; but given that Europe only had a population of a few million when he was recalled, you wouldn't think he could have acquired so many." - They're Back... by James Walker

"It's a terrible thing, to serve Nightmares when you only possess a couple of Forces." - When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Pachadite by James Walker

The recording has been identified as the mission recorder of Recon Unit X11095AZ with a 87% percent chance of certainty.

"There really isn't a good mechanical reason for prohibiting Hell from producing more Grigori shy of ruling that unlike normal celestials, the Grigori only reproduce sexually, and even that has problems." - A Skulker Solution by Anthony Damiani

"Greed, as Rezzack envisions it, is not about simply Hoarding money and items of luxury, without ever handing anything over to anyone. In fact, as far as giving is involved, Rezzack is more then willing to lend you exactly what you want, when you want it. It's with the Interests that Rezzack charges for the loans that he promotes the Word of Greed." - Rezzack, Balseraph Prince of Greed by Rolland Therrien

"This is one of Laurence's more significant, if obscure, organisations. He inherited it from Uriel, who had the original version from Michael. It's a collection of Angels and Saints whose basic job is to attend to details of organising The War, and to make plans for contingencies." - The General Staff of the Host by John Dallman

"Some dreamers are a little too aggressive for their own good." - An Ethereal Realm by James Walker

"The human astronomer Drake's calculations seem perfectly sound; barring intervention, the universe observable from Earth should contain many planets capable of bearing intelligent life, but while the Symphony clearly could contain such, it doesn't appear to." - GSG report AF/AK/D/1969CE by John Dallman

"It had been so much easier before Armageddon, he thought. When evil lurked in the hearts of men, and so many of his race openly served it." - Absolom: A Vignette by James Walker

"He's the taste of absolute silence and darkness, the sudden involuntary intake of breath, the vain straining of eyes for photons. He can reach into a human's head and tickle that reptilian brainstem that's been faithfully keeping humanity alert for the last three million years. The mere presence of him in a room can cause people's hearts to unaccountably accelerate and their skins become moist with sweat. He is incredibly good at his job." - Omparkash, Renegade Demon of Fear of Darkness by Moe Lane

"And that's where you come in, Commander. You and your men are to infiltrate the Halls of Progress and liberate that game console." - The Box by Manny Nepomuceno

"Fred was given a choice: eternal life, or immediate death - he choose 'life' and became a mummy." - Fred's Chop Shop by James Walker

"That being said, Laurence retains various weapons that are dedicated to those rare times when he actually gets to engage Demon Princes in battle. He's aware that he probably won't get to kill any of them until Judgement Day ... but there's no reason why he can't get a good lick or two in before they manage to Run Away." - Laurence's Special Swords by Moe Lane and colleagues

"What few in Heaven realized was that there was room in Judgement for both Pity and the possibility of Rehabilitation." - The Garou by Ryan Roth

"Rachab's existence isn't precisely secret, just ... downplayed a bit." - Rachab, Bright Lilim of Trade by Moe Lane

"The Demon Prince of the War is known for his paradoxial combination of overwhelming, arrogant pride and common-sense pragmatism. While the latter has led him to craft these specialized Unholy Bullets, it is the former which keeps him from loading up an M60 with a belt of each type." - Baal's Special Bullets by Rev. Pee Kitty

"It's a bit more complicated than that." - Nuclear Armageddon? by Michael Walton

"She's partly Snow White, but also Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and many other examples of the Damsel in Distress. She's every chaste and virtuous maiden who in unjustly imposed hard times soldiers onward, secure in the knowledge that Right will prevail, Evil will be defeated, and all she needs to do is wait... for her Handsome Prince to carry her of to a perfect life of never-ending happiness." - The Granite Madams Want Snow White's Head by William J. Keith

"The world Needs what we have to offer." - Vapula, Lilim Princess of Technology by Manny Nepomuceno

"The Servitors of Nightmares are known for being innovative when it comes to crafting horrific visions for their victims to suffer nightly, and some are known for invading the dreamscapes of the technophobic to visit scientific horrors upon them. However, the demons of Nightmares aren't really techno-savvy themselves, and this is to be expected given the hostility between their Dread Princess and Prince Vapula of Technology." - The Eternal Nightmare by Charles E. Smith

"You have been assigned your tasks; you will either succeed or die. Either is acceptable, and you should feel proud if you achieve both." - Memo to the Troops by James Walker

"So if anyone needs a quick idea for a Word for an alternate universe, here's a whole list of 'em!" - Inverse Words by Sirea Theyal et al.

"Angels of Stone view drug and alcohol addiction very poorly. They see it as a type of weakness: the kind of weakness that they take grim pleasure in purging. Within the past few years, two angels of David's have taken a very direct approach to this problem." - Recovery Road by Cameron McCurry

"We would like to warn you that Ruby, Lilim of (Demonic) Fire no longer appears to be operating in South America, and given her usual methods will probably appear in a Northern city shortly before your first fall of snow." - Ruby, Lilim of Fire by James Walker

"He has countless names: The Bargainer, The Dweller in the Darkness, even Death (although this name has fallen out of use since Saminga's rise). The legends of his beginnings are fragmented and contradictory. But he exists." - The Bargainer (Proto-Superior) by James Walker

"It's generally a good idea to be sure that a Word is free before requesting it from Lucifer, Scrie thought to himself after requesting the Word of Drowning." - Scrie, Demon of Pond Scum by James Walker

"Everyone knows you cannot give a human a Word. That is, itself, correct. YOU cannot." - Human Words by Sean McCarthy

"The story, at least as far as it is known in Heaven: Abimael appeared, one day, at the gates of Heaven, with ten other angels never seen within its walls. They were not Redeemed demons. They were not fledged relievers. They were simply angels who had never been in Heaven." - Abimael, Malakite Archangel of the Hundred by Manny Nepomuceno

"In the end, it didn't matter. He had lies, and he had pride, and eventually they combined into fatal Hubris. He was caught in his House of the Morning Star by Michael, and Michael finished what he started in Heaven." - Lilith, Queen of Hell by Eric Burns

"But Lilith was no fool. Since long before the Fall she had known that all things came with a price, and true power lay in what one could provide. " - LIL: The Consolidation of the Queen's Power by Eric Burns

"It's late at night, the house is dark and your wife's asleep. You're hard at work on the computer, maybe writing something for a project you've been working on, maybe surfing the 'Net.

And then you hear a sound." - Kolari by Manny Nepomuceno

"XJ49-L is procedurally oriented, which makes it a fine language to use when one wants to create spaghetti code. As a matter of fact, in addition to the standard "goto" function, XJ49-L supports the "go", "gothere", "gottherethenreturn", and "gothereandthere" functions." - Heavenly and Hellish Programming Languages by Manny Nepomuceno

"Once there was a Balseraph of Fate. His name wasn't Abimael, but what it was isn't really important to the story. Maybe he was a good Balseraph of Fate, or maybe he was ready to redeem. But one way or another, he came to Kronos's attention." - Abimael - Background by Manny Nepomuceno

"Saminga gets the majority of Fallen Mercurians. Given that they normally Fell through offering violence to humans, this isn't surprising. Nor is it surprising that they remember why they Fell." - The Vigilantes by James Walker

"Well, yes, this sort of project does require high amounts of chutzpah, self-assurance and oratory if one is to have even a faint hope of success." - Winston Churchill by Moe Lane

""Get it...roight!" [Thwallop]" - The Beltaine Bruisers by James Walker

"Pianissimo: Disturbance generated through the performance of Songs is reduced by one for every Force possessed by the performing angel corresponding the realm of the song being performed." - Attunements for Music by Eric Bertish

"This is the basic Snoopy template: there are quite a few of them, actually. Snoopae are made, not born: new ones appear when an ethereal decides to trade a dubious anonymous safety for a line into human belief and the chance to strafe Servitors of Nightmares." - The Royal Snoopae Flying Corps by Moe Lane

"Is a Word-bound even more in tune with its Superior's very nature than an ordinary celestial? There is an obvious temptation to answer 'yes' - but what does that mean for a campaign? What are the consequences?" - Word-Scenarios by Moe Lane

"Don't ever let Vapula watch sci-fi." - Light Cycles by Michael Cleveland

""Welcome to the Corporeal. Your work with me will be important, if somewhat - strange." - Breziahel, Angel of Gang Enforcers by James Walker

"As an angel of Fire, Pazuzu punished the cruel. As a demon of Death, she recaptured some of her former glory by killing evil Humans. Even then, it was evident to everyone except for Pazuzu and her Superior that she was quite mad. Which probably explains why Saminga showed her such favor." - Pazuzu, Shedite Princess of Plagues by Michael Walton

"Things Remnants are good for... Lying to Seraphim (rare; Seraphim get twitchy if they realize that their resonance should have worked), concealing emotions from Elohim (ditto), confounding Malakim (ditto), and bewildering Mercurians (ditto)." - Fun With Remnants by Beth McCoy

"So, between Hellsworn who some angel thinks can be turned, and the ones you get just because killing them is tactically unsound, you need a place to keep them." - The Cells of Notre Dame by Beth McCoy

"Vapula truly hates it when people tell him not to do something." - Vapulan Time Travel by Michael Cleveland

"There are days when Jean really loves having people like Vapula around." - Jeantech Time Travel by Michael Cleveland

""I am War. The conduct of this campaign is mine. When the corpses are piled high, you will be in control, and choose how to use to use them - barring the one I am promised. Until then you will obey me - as you swore to do a year ago. Or will you pit your strength against mine?"" - Battle Plan by James Walker

"Now, everyone here's read the bit about the Cells of Notre Dame, right? How the Hellsworn imprisoned there have counselors who work on them, trying to get them to permet their Infernal Force to be stripped? Well, sometimes it happens." - The Cells of Notre Dame, Part the Second by Beth McCoy

"Partasah chuckled. "So another newly made Sister, trapped in Hell, so desperate for a Vessel that she's thinking of offering herself to Andrealphus as payment. Haven't you been warned, little one, of how he'll bend your mind, and enslave you with your own passions?"" - The First Day Is The Hardest: Nightmares by James Walker

"Alfred Nobel has "known" that there were aliens living on Mars since he was a small child. This quirk wasn't a problem, as this was still considered a possibility at the time. Similarly, his desire to become an astronaut when he grew up was quite acceptable, with people assuming that he'd grow out of his belief that the reason to find aliens was to conquer them." - The Pyramid of Mars by James Walker

"Now, everyone knows that they're good protection from Kyrios and Shedim, right? But does everyone know that they're good possessions of Kyriotates and Shedim?" - Force Catchers by Beth McCoy

"The Ascension of Kronos of Princehood annoyed a number of Princes. Saminga's response was simple - if collecting information was enough to to make one a Prince, then he would prove that Death was the ultimate storehouse of knowledge! [Maniacal laugh]" - The Hall of Heads by James Walker

"He began life as the kind of joke Kobal liked the kind that poked fun at a powerful Demon Prince and a powerful Archangel both." - A Matter of Judgment by Manny Nepomuceno

"Something about a Heavenly plot involving using real estate to bankrupt demons and kick them out on the streets (as easier prey for angels), that the Archangel of the Sword was taking a personal hand in. And a cameo appearance from Worf (see Star Trek)." - No Insomnia Tonight... by Beth McCoy

"If Yves has a book wherein the name of every being that comes into existence is recorded, then it stands to reason -- Kronos' reason, at any rate -- that the Archives should contain a book of the name of every being ever soul-killed." - The Book of Dead Souls by William J. Keith

Now it is time for him to return to the graces of the Archangel of Faith." - Servitors of the Fallen: Martin, Malakite of Faith, Angel of Martyrs by Manny Nepomuceno

"Let's be clear: he's not a Prince. At eight Forces, the Demon of Corruption is weaker than the average angel, and certainly much weaker than the four Djinn of the Game who follow him everywhere." - Servants of the Fallen: Ibnash, Impudite of Corruption, Demon of Corruption by Manny Nepomuceno

"To operate in mortal society, celestials need to speak the local language. Because of this, a change in the lingua franca can cause a huge shift in the balance of power, as Celestials spend months learning a new language." - The Language of the World by James Walker

"The fighting was merciless, unending, and utterly intolerant towards human survival on either side ... but if there was one 'battle' that broke the Nazi war machine, this was it. With that in mind, one would think that David would have a Tether in Stalingrad. One would be wrong." - Stalingrad (Tethers to Stone) by Moe Lane

"Contrary to popular belief, there is not a special squad of Dominicans watching to see whether this Song is used to acquire adult movies." - More Songs of Convenience by Moe Lane

"You are a stone cold IN fan if... " - Quick Test... by Moe Lane

"On rare occasions, there are inventions that Vapula puts out that actually work as advertised. The whole point of Vapula's Great Work, after all, is to help mankind find God through Technology." - PET Scanner by Michael Cleveland

"Project Silence is a completely black operations program that deals with the unenviable task of rooting out 'Extradimensional Entities', or Celestials. No celestial is quite certain when they formed, but over the past sixty or so years there have been more than a few celestials that have found their way back to Heaven or Hell via the guns of this group." - Project Silence by Michael Cleveland

"Can a resurgent Word resurrect a remnant? Pray it can't..." - Patient Zero by Fallen Seraph

"Incidentally, there is no truth to the rumor that Lilim with this Discord turn into valley girls." - Clueless (Ethereal Discord) by Manny Nepomuceno

"She served Andrealphus well and faithfully for millenia, playing the complex power games of the Beautiful Prince's court. As a favored Servitor, she earned her place in history under the names Salome and Delilah. But when the time came to ask Lucifer for her boon, she was cast down and disowned, her attunements and Distinctions stripped from her, until such time as the Lightbringer saw fit to dally with her again." - Marou, Impudite Princess of Vanity by Manny Nepomuceno

"Jean may micromanage, but he does know when to use a light touch. He may not be personally all that good at it, but he can see when it might be necessary." - Irin by Moe Lane

"It was a fairly simple notion: Essence is the ultimate holdout weapon, so finding some way to drain it from people would be useful, right? Especially when one has to keep the holder alive and (futilely) kicking for a while." - Spigots by Moe Lane

"When a Celestial changes or leaves their Vessel, it stays unchanging: you got it, the watch isn't ticking." - Time and Vessels by James Walker and Walter Milliken

"The Impudite smiled. "Thanks. Look, all I'm saying is that if one of us dies, that person has a chance to tell somebody about what's going on down here. Not like we can kill one another at the moment, but if somebody gets the chance..."" - Project Silence: Captive by Michael Cleveland

"The Song of Overlooking takes advantage of the normal human tendency to ignore or selectively edit anything that simply makes no coherent sense." - The Song of Overlooking (Celestial) by Moe Lane

"Azazel was not sure her seduction of Saminga would really win the Word of Death for her, but she was willing to gamble, since at least she would rid the universe of Saminga, whom Azazel hated for all the usual reasons people hated Saminga." - Azazel, Superior Spirit of Death by Earl Wajenberg

"Editor's note: Mullerian mimicry describes how poisonous species evolve a similar appearance, so that predators are warned off all of the poisonous species; Batesian mimicry describes how non-poisonous species benefit by copying poisonous species." - Alien Race by James Walker

"Punishment Rites were first developed by Dominic, not long after the Fall. They are a variation on Worship Rites, used to discourage misuse of Rites and attunements." - Punishment Rites by James Walker

"Abiressia is one of the oldest Lilim in existence. She began as a Free because her wild spirit refused to accept the yoke of a Prince. Abiressia paid off her Geasa to Lilith (all but the last one that "Mother" insists on keeping) as fast as she could manage. This was both the start of her troubles and the key to the eventual gaining of her Princedom." - Abiressia, Lilim Princess of the Wild by Michael Walton

"When they first heard about it, Novalis turned varying shades of white, beige and green, Laurence was stunned into silence for several minutes, Michael's jaw dropped in shock and Janus couldn't stop laughing." - A Slightly Different Idea... by Cameron McCurry

"So your characters have done everything... They've gone to the Lower Hells, they've been to the Far Marches at least a dozen times, they've explored more places Man Was Not Meant To Know (And Celestials Probably Shouldn't Be There Either) than you can recall." - So You've Done Everything Else by Beth McCoy

"If you're convinced that the South will rise again and convince others that it well also, you might be a Redneck Balseraph." - Redneck Demons by Cameron McCurry

"Whether wrapped in mundane flesh or working in Heaven, Leilani's Servitors all have their eyes firmly fixed on the stars that are man's future. Their beliefs are a curious mishmash of science fiction, new age astrology, and sheer optimism, but this is more because of their Archangel's strange and varied nature than anything else." - Leilani, Seraph Archangel of the Heavens by Manny Nepomuceno

"The world is afflicted and I am its Cancer." - Chora, Habbalite Prince of Affliction by Terry Jackson

"Wregan is one of those demons who's been around an awfully long time; many old-time demons joke he was pooh-poohing Cassandra's prophetic cries in Troy (Wregan maintains he was actually questioning the logic of bringing a large wooden horse made by enemies into the gates)." - Are you sure...? by Mike Bruner

He was passed over for promotion dozens of times, in favor of angels that didn't have their minds on 'flights of fancy', wondering if there was anything out there among the stars." - Klingons by Michael Cleveland

"In fact, it is a point of pride to Shemeriel that he has lost count of the demons that he has Redeemed rather than the ones he has soul killed." - Shemeriel, Malakite of Flowers, Master of Peace, Angel of Thorns by Cameron McCurry

"And The LORD spoke, and Heaven shook with the sound of His Voice, and angels could no longer manifest upon the Earth. Such was the Will of GOD." - The Eden Ban by Eric Bertish

"If the only way to reach the Corporeal Realm is via Tethers, then her formation of the first Infernal Tether ever makes her an extremely pivotal figure in the history of both Hell and the Universe. For that kind of service, you get the big payoff." - A Heartless World by Charles Glasgow

"Triad 314 is, on the books, the worst triad to ever see duty on the corporeal plane. Their files are filled with official reprimands, convictions for destruction of property, misappropriation of funds, consorting with the fallen, overindulgence in corporeal pleasures, and direct insubordination." - Triad 314 by Michael Cleveland

"moes busy you see
so
the keyboard is free
and i know that he wont mind" - archiel, kyriotate friend of beasts, angel of cockroaches by Moe Lane

"In another life, Radcliffe would have been a Malakite, a dark-winged champion of honor. However, born as a child of Fear instead of Virtue, Radcliffe was a personal creation of Beleth and never got a chance to swear her Oaths or cleanse the world of its failings. Still, the Pachadite does the best she can with what she has been given." - Radcliffe, Pachadite of Nightmares, Captain of Headhaunters, Demon of the Terror of Steam by Jonathan Walton

"To begin with, do not use that name around Laurence or Novalis." - Hellburners by Moe Lane

"A rarity among Servitors of Animals, Loache is quite comfortable within human society, even if he does work solely to destroy it." - Loache, Kyriotate of Animals by Cthulhu

"Both Heaven and Hell have always worried that, someday, some sort of unambiguous evidence would appear that would reveal the War to the mass of humanity. It's just that nobody ever expected that it would be shrink-wrapped - or available in any computer store with any pretensions towards coolness, for that matter." - Demon Hunt by Moe Lane

"Laris beamed. "I told you this plan would work. There's nothing to it. Dominic can't possibly get upset with us this time." He frowned for a minute. "At least, I don't think he can."" - Triad 314: Crescendo by Michael Cleveland

"The Archangels and most of the older angels knew what was happening and what it would mean. The rest only knew that something big was about to be announced." - The First Nowell by Stephen McIlvenna

"Yes, there are Marxists Up There, and there will be as long as the achievement of one's Destiny/Fate remains even slightly independent of one's religious beliefs." - Marxists In Heaven by Moe Lane

"Oddly enough, the Archangel of Destiny is almost as bad as Eli is when it comes to leaving Superior-level relics lying around." - Superior Relics: Yves by Moe Lane

"Well, he did it. The Cuban Missile Crisis, the SALT talks, heck, the break up of the Soviet Union all seemed to show that a Third World War just wasn't going to happen.

And then... it did." - Belial's Victory (?) by Josh Moger

"Haagenti is the most miserable demon in Hell. Or at least he thinks he is." - Hungry by Jim Burzelic

"Yeah, an arelim, an angel! I figured that you were there with the other angels singing, 'Glory to God in the highest.'" - Trimming The Tree by Erich Arendall

"These iridescent blue stones seem to catch the light in just the right way, reflecting a beautiful azure color. For the people who wear them, though, they already caught much more than that." - Dream Stones by Josh Moger

"He had winced as the champagne bottle had smashed against the side of the ship; wished that someone else had been assigned this mission." - A Long, Lonely Mission by James Walker

"In a day when where political correctness rules and the best way to end a disagreement is by agreeing the Arelim stick out like a sore thumb." - Arelim: the Valiant by Erich Arendall

"You'll never find them in any book, and you'll probably never even see anything that even remotely points to their existence." - The Whispers by Michael Cleveland

"It began in my campaign with the combination of an audacious plan on Vapula's part (using damned souls in a half-hearted attempt to create some form of ambulatory life form for wandering the physical realm), an even more audacious plan on the part of an NPC (Joab, Malakite of Eli, Angel of Creative Mayhem), and the plain old chutzpah of one player's dice, who love rolling sixes." - Adventure Seed: Power For The Taking by David Wood

""Shiver me timbers!" roared L.J. as I approached, "You're a sight for sore eyes, Chen! Rest yer bones and join us in a pint."" - Ethereal Discord: Accent by Michael Walton

"Why is the star so important? GM's call, really." - The Star by Manny Nepomuceno

"The small New England town of Washbyrne has seen it all. Fires, floods, lightningstrikes, plagues of frogs, plagues of grasshoppers, an air disaster or two, and even threats from some nebulous sea-borne horror from the waters of the nearby Atlantic (and did the Seraphim of Jordi have a time explaining that one away)." - Damned Washbyrne by David Wood

"But some say that a man's destiny may change even as he changes, and that those who suffer in Hell may yet escape it." - A Selfless Act by Genevieve Cogman

"Yes, you read correctly. One of Heaven's best shooters is a Servitor of Novalis. The cognitive dissonance this causes usually settles down after a few hours." - Laharoi, Elohite of Flowers, Angel of Snipers by Cameron McCurry

"And I wait still. I have not yet earned my place in Heaven." - Micah Tanhumeth, Malakite Master of Destiny, Angel of Innocent Blood by Manny Nepomuceno

"Don't bother with looking for him on the official registry of Catholic saints: the Church anathematized his teachings more than a millennium ago. They excommunicated him, too - several times, actually - but it had no effect on the blessed soul, Matthew 16:19 notwithstanding." - The Order of St. Origen by Moe Lane

"A younger man, who had been standing quietly by the wall, now spoke up: "There is precedent. It is worth remembering that Abraham swore a legal contract with God... if a contract can be made with God, then damages can be demanded from his servants."" - An Overdue Court Action by James Walker

"Just as relationships are living things that must be maintained, so too are roles, for they are in many ways a celestial's relationship with human society." - Role Maintenance and Destruction by Eric Bertish

"Really. What kind of sick, twisted mind comes up with this stuff?" - Yaasriel, Seraph Friend of the Quest, Angel of Tabloid Newspapers by Moe Lane

"Demons have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Roles. This is a strong point, especially when one remembers the War got started because the Demons believed they deserved the earth more then Humanity, and that Demons resent and hate Humanity because of this." - Demons and their Roles by Rolland Therrien

"This attunement allows the Trader to buy the performance of a Song or Attunement." - Mail Order (Trade Attunement) by James Walker

"In what is set to become a landmark legal battle of apocalyptic proportions, the Devil today filed a lawsuit against the World Council of Churches (WCC) and its owner on behalf of himself and the Legions of Hell, Inc., claiming that he and his underlings have been mistreated by the members of the WCC and by their employer, the entity frequently known as God, Jesus, Yves, the Holy Ghost, Miguel Jimenez of Texas, and other entities." - Late=Breaking News Report by CS Honeyman

"Each Cathedral in Heaven has its own Regional Olympic Committee (ROC) that oversees the celestial athletes representing the Cathedral. The hosting ROC is also responsible for providing an Olympic Village for the athletes to live in during the games." - Celestial Olympics by Vaughn Romero

"Humans are broken. It has been noted many times that each individual is, on some level, a reflection of Heaven, with all its conflicting agendas and personalities.

"It's just that nobody will be quite ready to believe that comic books can be a legitimate route to apotheosis... " - Elementalism by Moe Lane

"On occasion, a Superior encased in mortal flesh can find himself beset by foes of enough strength to shed blood before they can be dealt with." - Superior Blood, Part 1 by Manny Nepomuceno

"The Habbalite Prince announces his hatred of Destroyers to anyone who will listen to him. Put in terms of an analogy, "Vapula : Calabim :: Maurice : Belial"." - Scorched by Jonathan Walton

"The world is a flawed reflection of God. He, in turn, has charged us with the great purpose of studying Creation and then improving upon it, until it attains true perfection and divinity. As we were made in the image of God, so must we remake the world in our own." - Superior Victory: Vapula (Steampunk) by Jonathan Walton

"So much fuss over such a simple biological function that barely qualifies as a tertiary manipulation technique for the average Hetaera. Admittedly, said function is considered to have a somewhat greater significance on the corporeal plane, but that is no excuse for imprecise judgement." - Hetaeras by Moe Lane

"The Seraph slowly turned her head to face the Ofanite that was in the driver's seat. "Well, I don't think we should be in any trouble on this one, Laris. I mean, we were approached to defend another member of the Host from another Servitor of Judgment. Technically we probably didn't have to do it, but I don't see there having been a problem with our actions."" - Triad 314: Vendettas by Michael Cleveland

"It's a fact - an incontrovertible fact - that one of every ten damned souls that arrive in Hell is immediately claimed by silent servants of Lucifer and whisked away to the Lower Hells." - The Decimated by Moe Lane

"Once upon a time there was a Cherub, bright and happy and in love. It was a good time to be in love - in those bright days when the entire world was new, it was the best time of all to be in love. You could love without pain, back then." - Janet, Cherub Vassal of Stone, Angel of Broken Hearts by Moe Lane

"Considering the number of mutually contradictory stories surrounding Reitvip, others are surprised that the demon is not a Balseraph. Assuming, of course, that he secretly isn't one - or else a Habbalite, or perhaps a shell for Alaemon himself (or some other Prince, or maybe even someone from the Other Side)..." - Reivtip, Impudite Baron of the Vault, Demon of Conspiracy Theories by Moe Lane

"The dichotomy between what Habbalah think that they are doing, and what they actually are doing is rarely in starker contrast than in Tahariel's case." - Tahariel, Habbalite of Lust, Demon of Sublimation by Moe Lane

"Do you really want to know what is capable of scaring a Gamester?

The answer to that question is 'no', by the way: you really, really don't want to know." - Mr. Alpu and Mr. Beytu, Calabim of the Game by Moe Lane

"The species is currently crammed squarely on whatever metaphorical line it is that separates human beings from other animals." - Malakats by Moe Lane

"Just when you think all of Saminga's Servitors are tasteless brutes who don't do much besides finding creative ways to kill people, hang around in goth-like surroundings and buddy with the Undead, you find one who's actually got taste... Even if he still is a brute who likes to kill, plays the Goth scene and buddies with the Undead." - Byrus, Impudite Baron of the Undead Kingdom, Demon of Vampires by Rolland Therrien

"Picking out Rofocale in a crowd is actually fairly easy: simply think of all your favorite stereotypes of Baal's troops... and look for the exact opposite." - Rofocale, Balseraph of the War by Moe Lane

"Well, actually, Agnellus didn't precisely expect to actually get this particular Word. It was sort of a joke, you see?" - Agnellus, Kyriotate Vassal of War, Angel of Sock Puppets by Moe Lane

"The only problem is, the Kyriotate often finds itself forced to kick the crap out of those who were blocking its host (via either mental or physical torment) to begin with.

Well, that's fun too." - Edward, Kyriotate Friend of the Divine Spark, Angel of the Subconscious by Moe Lane

"How much can a single demon do? Six? A dozen? What does an (almost) utterly selfless being do when trapped in Hell, surrounded by misery and cut loose to do whatever they wish?" - The Helpless by William J. Keith

"This minor Choir of Dominic's exemplifies the human cliche about not Judging a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes." - Minor Choir of Judgment: The Ishim by Moe Lane

"These Attunements are intended to be used in a game set either pre-Fall or at least somewhat before Gabriel's self-imposed exile from Heaven and concomitant descent into apparent madness." - Archaic Fire Attunements by William J. Keith

"People often wonder: why a Mercurian? Surely an Elohite makes more sense. Or, if they think about it for a bit more, a Seraph. After all, mathematics is about eternal truths." - Proto-Superior: Numeros, the Angel of Mathematics by William J. Keith

"Even in Sheol, there must be a place that is hotter than anywhere else. Most assume that this place would be Belial's throne room: a natural assumption, but quite wrong. After all, the Prince of Infernal Fire must entertain others from time to time, and his peers complain so when their envoys spontaneously combust before they can quite finish delivering the messages entrusted to them. No, the throne room of Belial is merely incandescently hot." - Hamon, Calabite Baroness of the Demonic Brazier by Moe Lane

"Silas was Wordbound before the Fall; it is extremely unlikely that such a Word would ever have been granted, especially to an Ofanite, afterwards." - Silas, Ofanite of Creation, Angel of the (Musical) Rest by William J. Keith

"Ertrael isn't an idiot. He may be at the bottom of the organization of a minor Prince of a revolving door Word, but he's not an idiot." - Ertrael, Balseraph of Drugs by Moe Lane

"Innocence used to say (back when it worked for Nybbas) that it didn't consider itself to be bad, per se: just committed to giving humans what they really wanted." - Innocence, Shedite Captain of the Mosh Pit by Moe Lane

"It's not every day that one sees a Servitor of Gluttony with an Attunement from Lust, but Javan happened to be at the right place at the right time to make one of Andrealphus' little shindigs a night to remember." - Javan, Impudite Captain of Cannibals, Demon of Grease by Moe Lane

"The Demon of Mimes has to be a Djinn, you understand. All the other Bands care too much about their own skins." - Loquel, Djinn Baron of Derision, Demon of Mimes by Moe Lane

"The tale as it is told in Hell: he arrived on Earth one day, an unaligned Djinn, heavily Discordant, yet his eyes burned with the fire of a billion stars." - Gendu, Demon Prince of the Stars by Manny Nepomuceno

"In his more lucid moments, Nelson damns himself for a fool for going into the Archives in the first place. He should have just left the stupid Impudite of Fate be - but, no, he had to go bother the twerp on his own turf." - Nelson, Calabite Knight of Derision, Demon of Wedgies by Moe Lane

"Hey, if it was okay for St. Brigit to get petitioned this morning..." - A Petition by Moe Lane

"GMs are encouraged to smile nastily." - New Discord: Bad Luck by Josh Moger

"The angel held the wrapping in his hands, peering at it as if there was some message hidden in the linen folds. There was not: only mystery. Something about it, though, caused him to put the cloth gently back down upon the rough stone slab." - Easter by Moe Lane

"Zedekiah was fledged over 700 years ago... as Aranthaxus, a Balseraph of the Game. He had a successful if not overwhelmingly distinguished career in Asmodeus' service, rigorously hunting down and targeting his fellow demons for execution." - Zedekiah, Seraph of Judgment by Charles Glasgow

"Oh, you picked up on that, huh? Okay, so maybe I didn't tell you everything. Maybe I left out a few tiny details --" - Consider The Word by Matthew Gerber

"Jer -- until recently Jeremiel, Ofanite of Trade -- couldn't help looking around nervously as he followed his "guide". He hadn't really been sure what Hell would be like... I mean, everyone hears things, but how can you know what to trust?... but he certainly hadn't anticipated seeing so much of it, so quickly." - Break Moe's Brain: The Demon Prince of Kzhrrgh by Matt Walsh

"The existence and job description of Quoriel highlights Hell's perennial problem: to wit, that its most powerful denizens have a real difficulty with cooperation, even when it's in everyone's best interest. " - Quoriel, Lilim of Fate by Moe Lane

"Every demon knows that it can ask a boon of Lucifer. Unfortunately, not every demon knows when it isn't a good idea when not to ask for it." - Break Moe's Brain: Kinked, Impudite of Dark Humor, Demon of Hurting Moe's Brain by Prodigal

"Vapula does not believe in chance." - Break Moe's Brain: Fade Away by Merior

""Hostility doesn't keep me fed. I want an alliance."" - The Conversation by Steven Ehrbar

"Ancient and inscrutable, Belial stands as a monument to the faith of Heaven in its ultimate victory against Hell. In the days of the Fall, when the Lightbringer brought many of his fellow angels to temptation, Belial alone stood untested against the seduction of the Darkness and thus faced his former comrades and master. With the help of Uriel, Archangel of Purity, he defeated Gabriel and was raised to Archangel by a grateful Seraphim Council." - Break Moe's Brain: Belial, Archangel of the Flame by Manny Nepomuceno

"It all started when Belial and Saminga started talking about the Good Old Days: Human sacrifice, murder cults, burning alive at the stake." - Break Moe's Brain: Undead Sun by Casca

"What can be said? There is not and never was a Word quite like Corruption." - Break Moe's Brain: Once More, With Feeling by Jonathan Walton

"The most obvious question that has been asked time and again (and out of the earshot of Superiors) is: "Why an Impudite?"" - Galsiph, Impudite Captain of Integrity, Demon of False Witness by Cameron McCurry

"With the rise of the Demon of False Witness, the most frequently asked question amongst Dominic's angels ran along the lines of "Why has he not been converted to a Force smear on the pavement?"" - Triad 2016 by Cameron McCurry

"Did you ever look up to watch the clouds?" - Rudders by Moe Lane

"Veischax used to agree that Hell is other people. "Other people" being defined as "minions of Magog trapped in a prison with only each other and the Prince of Cruelty to keep each other company", of course." - Veischax, Calabite Captain of Sadists by Moe Lane

"Paradoxically, it's the little irritations that can seem the most, well, irritating. After all, there's often very little you can do about the environment, nuclear proliferation, taxes or the local crop of Idiots in Charge - but you can do something about people who say the Dread Words." - Winifred, Balseraph Knight of Deception, Demon of Humble Opinions by Moe Lane

"Frankly, Pei-Pei is envied quite a bit by his colleagues: even in an organization like the Media there has to be some demons with stable positions on the greasy pole of rank, and the Shedite is one of them. Pei-Pei has a specific set of tasks, and it sticks to them like spirit gum." - Pei-Pei, Shedite of the Media, Demon of Hairpieces by Moe Lane

"Mark Douglas is a sculptor in, if you'll pardon the description, the heroic mold." - A Gentle Touch by William J. Keith

"A few questions to help you flesh out the back stories of your angels." - 20 Questions For Ex-Relievers by James Walker

"The laptop which houses a Vapulan Shedite is actually a fairly solid device. Unless you know Helltongue, it's completely impossible to program it directly, but it otherwise can run most commercially-available programs, has an efficient 'Net connection, and has a celestially infinite power life." - Chips by William J. Keith

"Humans die. Not a problem in and of itself: on the contrary, many Celestials consider it a good thing. But as any human can bond themselves to an artifact, and the Symphonically Aware can make artifacts, this does result in artifacts scattered around the Corporeal Plane, far from the humans who owned them. Both Heaven and Hell take advantage of this." - Two Groups - Trade and Greed by James Walker

"The Cathedral of Light resounded with song. Secure as Archangel of Light, Lucifer sat back, listening to the music with pleasure. He had so much to do - there was always so much to do - but it was the anniversary of Timbul - the lighting of the first star." - Before The Fall? by James Walker

"Zombies (note the variant spelling) are an interesting example of what happens when you take a notion to its logical conclusion." - Zombies by Moe Lane

"Aretas is a typical servant of Flowers, and thus an atypical Malakite. However, he is able to fight the War, and peacefully so. His strategy is simple. He takes �Evil� words, and makes them �nice�." - Aretas, Malakite Master of Peace, Angel of Euphemism by vez o'rama

"It is rumored that she once used this Song to give Andrealphus a piece of her mind after he went a bit too far with one of her angels. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that His Princelyness spent the next three days not having any kind of sex, and being very ashamed and appologising a lot about his...uhm..yeah..well.. *blush* As I said: No evidence. Whatsoever." - The Song of Scolding by Unni Solaas

"The Songs of Blooming give a character control over plants." - The Songs of Blooming by Michael Walton

"A Habbalite who knew that he was a demon... who realised that he could become an angel... he redoubled his speed, grateful that he was no longer being slowed by the Emptiness backlash." - An Ancient Attuning by James Walker

"Laurence's hostility to Novalis has some interesting effects for humans serving Flowers, given that they report to both Superiors." - Soldiers or Gardeners? by James Walker

""You have to admit, it's an odd request." " - Cross-Training by Moe Lane

"And what does it do? It's a shield. An unbreakable shield. That's what the ideal shield would be, no? (Well, skip notions of ablation or whatnot - in most combat, you want something permanently sturdy.)" - Artifact: Large Shield by William J. Keith

"Inspired by a conversation I had with my girlfriend last night, wherein I realized that Janus does not have any extra Servitor attunements, even non-canonical ones." - Two Wind Attunements by Eric Bertish

"They all wonder why I supported the little goblin in cementing his claim to princehood. Some of them even manage not to get it completely wrong." - Kobal On Haagenti by Prodigal

"The Cage is a rather simple looking device to the untrained eye. It stands about 6 feet by 6 feet and is formed of solid steel, with a catch on the bottom that enables the device to swing outward and scoop something in, then slam shut about them. There is a one foot by one foot window of transparent black glass set in the top of the Cage for observation." - The Cage by Charles E. Smith

"Kobal is responsible for this one. At least originally. Then Michael got a hold of it and, well, let's just say that the things started becoming popular." - The Wand of Many Bodies by Ryan Roth

"They wanted to form a martial order, fiercely loyal to Hell, that would hunt agents of Heaven that had grown too powerful in one area. Rather than working at separate goals, this order would work together to achieve victory." - The Hyacinth Brotherhood by Cameron McCurry

""I am always at your service, my Lord." The demon indictated the book in front of him. "Please, why don't you keep that as a memento of the occassion - I doubt Henry will need it anymore."" - A Matter of Faith by Ryan Roth

"From one of the chairs at the table, a thin black woman shook her head in the negative. "You're crazy, Most Holy."" - Seeker Triad 1341 by Michael Cleveland

"He could become one of Haagenti's most powerful servitors, in an astronomical bid for power that rivals that of his own master. Not that his Word is enough to warrant a Princehood in the Infernal Lowerarchy, but to get a Word so early, that so supports the master's own Word, is an outstanding achievement." - Jekkijek, Potential Demon of Little Chocolate Donuts by David Wood

"Within a number of yards equal to the level of the Discord, everyone but the Celestial gains a level of Anger equal to the level of Scapegoat, directed at the afflicted Celestial." - Several New Discords by W S

"In my heresy game idea, every being has a Destiny and a Fate - even God - and just like every other being, God's Destiny or Fate will be the result of choices." - Sympathy For The Devil by Vaughn Romero

"It all depends on your point of view, really." - Skeletons by Moe Lane

"Note that there is no mention of the number of In-between demons with these Attunements. That's because the appearance of the first one will be all the excuse that Dominic needs..." - Angelic Band Creation Attunements by Moe Lane

"This particularly odd Discord usually manifests itself among those who have been subjected to some sort of oddity in the space-time continuum, but has been known to occur in those who have somehow managed to combine the smashing of one's Heart and an Intervention.

Either kind." - Discord: Phazed Out (Celestial) by Moe Lane

"The Erelim are charged with nurturing and healing. As their secondary Choir name suggests, they are expert in dealing with plants." - Erelim: The Gardeners by Michael Walton

"Shiloh had to think for a long, long moment, then she smiled. "I know! Let's try Saminga. He's really stupid, so if we could smarten him up, I'm sure he'd join us!"" - The Next Plan by Charles E. Smith

"At first glance, the Demon Hunter's License appears to be nothing more than a flat laminated piece of cardboard on which the hunter's name and contact information are printed -- although a number of these licenses have also been made up to look like official ID cards, and a few of them are also working ATM or credit cards. Hidden beneath the plastic laminate, however, is a single glyph in Angelic, visible only to celestials and high-Perception mortals: the mark of the demon hunter." - Demon Hunting 1: The License by Manny Nepomuceno

"So, you've got a group of players who rival the Knights of the Dinner Table (tm) for their love of hack&slay -- they want a campaign, you want something that won't bore you to tears. They want interventionist gods, you want a pantheon that's at least a little different than the last fifty kill-the-orc games you've run for your bloodthirsty little crowd. (Or maybe you all want a change of pace from heavy roleplaying, with a touch of humor...)" - Ready-Made Gods by Beth McCoy

"As has been mentioned elsewhere, there are lots of weird things hanging out in the NYC sewer system. Libertarian Sewer Flukes (LSFs) aren't even remotely the weirdest - although they are hardly prosaic denizens of the City That Never Sleeps. Of course, it's hard to be prosaic when you look and smell like a flattened halibut. There's a lesson there." - Libertarian Sewer Flukes by Moe Lane

"Deuteronomy is a very harried angel, these days." - Deuteronomy, Seraph of Judgment IST The Sword, Angel of Canon by Charles E. Smith

"So? I like the idea."" - Movie Night by Jaymiel

"Each Quarter of Blandine's March responds to two choirs of angels..." - Quarters of the Marches by James Walker

"The two items ... are devices that can be made in a wholly mundane fashion, but interact with the War on a non-mundane level. This is something of a difficult business -- the trick is to find an observable quantity which can be traced to a datum of interest about celestials." - War-Oriented Mundane Devices by William J. Keith

"The following constitutes a suggested set of translations, conversions, and point values for the new game concepts presented in the Ethereal Player's Guide, for the use of GURPS: In Nomine players.

"With a sudden hit of inspiration, Jon planted a small explosive in the Prince of Gluttony's t-bone steak. The little thing exploded as Haagenti bit into the steak. It was strong enough to knock one of his teeth out, destroy half the restuarant and make Kobal really happy with the guy." - Jon, Demon Prince of Exploding Animals by Kanako Otaku

"It is said Jordi created this attunement in celebration of the diversity of the world's ecological sphere, long before the human problem began to grate its nerves. It makes use of the fact that Jordi's angels, on average, tend to have more vessels than other angels." - Animals Attunement: Cross-Evolution by Ryan Roth

"Whispering a prayer to my Lord and Savior, I lifted myself up into the spirit. The Destroyer grinned, thinking a Mercurian of Flowers an easy kill, and took Celestial form as well. Perhaps he thought me an after-dinner mint following the slaughter of my teammates. His thinking changed quickly enough as I shifted my Corporeal Forces into Celestial and proceeded to, as they say, "Kick his ass to the curb."" - The Halo by Eric Bertish

"Angels and demons were never meant to involve themselves with humanity so much." - Adventure Seed: Wounded Earth by Sirea Theyal

"The songs of Measurement tie some perceptions of the Symphony down to numbers, or at least concepts." - The Songs of Measurement by John Dallman

"These are not Songs popular with Death. They enable their singer to find out who a corpse used to be, and what became of them." - The Songs of the Corpse by John Dallman

"The history of this artifact can be traced back to approximately the 1940s. There are several variations on the story of its creation but they all have a common point: Eli and Dominic had a bit too much to drink and they began to brainstorm on unusual ideas." - The Trout of Truth by Cameron McCurry

"Because so few Children of the Grigori and Nephallim are known to Heaven, organized information gathering on this phenomenon has so far been limited." - Nephallite Death Curse by Manny Nepomuceno

"When the War is all over, one way or the other, the victorious side is naturally going to want to sit down and reminisce about the Old Days.

"It happened in the sixth grade. Imogene Herdman went Mary-crazy." - Sister Imogene Mary Herdman, Natural Soldier by William J. Keith

"This Discord represents sheer elemental loathing by the fundamental nature of existence itself; the sufferer is much more likely to suffer from unfavorable Interventions." - Don't Stand So Close To Me (Celestial Discord) by Moe Lane

"In Heaven live the Greatest Generals History has ever known... Or at least the ones who've accomplished their Destinies.

"Actually, the restaurant is called "Thursdays." It's your usual, run-of-the-mill, theme restaurant." - Restaurant of Lost Souls by Josh Moger

Keith

Indeed, considering what would take place that day, the participants involved were quite calm." - The Event by Josh Moger

"Eklizeal was created in 14,000 BC, a Force-daughter of Janus and Oannes.

" - Eklizeal, Grigori Archangel of the Rain by Sirea Theyal

"His name -- well, Role-name -- is William "Bill" Broadhurst. He's about six foot four, and at least half that in diameter; it doesn't register on people as much as it could because he's got a thick bone structure as well as being tall." - They fight crime! (Well, not quite.) by Elizabeth McCoy

"It is not a place deserving of their presence. The bar is dingy, hazed in a cloud of smoke, thick with the tang of nicotine. Whenever somebody makes the slow trip to the bathroom or from a table to the bar, the shattered remains of peanut husks crunch under their feet in little pops and hisses." - The War by Harukami

"This Attunement is given by Nybbas to Soldiers who serve his Word and lack connections to get into certain places." - I'm With The Band (Media Servitor Attunement) by Cameron McCurry

Smith

"To begin with, they are not actually made out of tofu. Well, not completely made out of tofu; if nothing else, the stuff doesn't usually have Ethereal Forces. Indeed, it's a stretch to say that tofu has Corporeal Forces. It's best to think of the tofu as providing the organic matrix within which the Forces are quasi-stabilized - which isn't really what's going on, but that's how Saminga visualizes it, and who are we to argue with a Demon Prince?" - Tofu Zombies by Moe Lane

"This Discord is commonly given out by Kobal when he's in one of his more scathing moods, or really wants one of his demons to suffer." - Onomatopoeia (Corporeal Discord) by Sirea Theyal

PC: "You're laughing in fear of my gaming prowess right?"" - Hosed (Realm-specific Discord) by Vaughn Romero

""He's recruiting," Azrael said, picking his steps carefully." - And With Dawn Comes Illumination by Eric A. Burns

"This Discord, yet another favorite of Kobal, makes life miserable for any hard-working celestial who's just trying to get some damned work done for their boss... it basically modifies chaotic events so that they work against the celestial whenever he's trying to get something constructive done." - Some Days, You Just Can't Get Rid Of A Bomb (Celestial Discord) by Sirea Theyal

""Good take today, sir?" The rumpled-tuxedo-clad Calabite drops into a bow as Valefor passes.

"Again, sir?"" - What Really Happened To Genubath...? by Harukami

"A vast world of water, blueing the sky above, falls down to meet the waters of the world's oceans. The oceanic horizon is where this magical transformation takes place, where ships disappear into the vastness of the sea, where a loved one returns from the unknown back to the arms of hearth and home." - The Urmeer Tether by William J. Keith

"To further his Word, Alaemon is always willing to try new methods of surveillance to gather secrets from humans as well as his fellow Princes.

" - Sock Spies by Cameron McCurry

""Most high lord of darkness," the spy hastily mumbled into the phone, "I know that I've been instructed not to attempt direct contact short of a alpha-level emergency . . ."

"We have an alpha-level emergency."" - Vampire Malakim by Genevieve Cogman

"Maybe the police will put the pieces together, while investigating the disappearance of young girls.

Or possibly Heaven will notice." - Isn't It Amazing What People Will Do For A Word? by James Walker

"There are actually quite a few of these: the Demon Prince of Heresy usually carries around with him a satchel or overnight bag. Unfortunately, what with the standard Calabite entropy field present at all times (at Superior level, no less), it's a rare bag that lasts more than a week. When that happens, Maurice will swear a bit, do some quick and dirty repairs... and hand the bag over to the next celestial he sees with an irritated "Here"." - Superior Artifact: Maurice's Bag by Moe Lane
