Ineffability wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't
for Litheroy.
Well, that's not entirely True: it's more like the
rest of the Host wouldn't worry about it as much if it
weren't for him. Most angels find it quite easy to go
through their days without being wracked with
uncertainty about whether Jesus was really God, or
whether Mohammed really was the last Prophet. When
you work for the Host, you soon learn to deal with the
fact that there are things that you simply aren't
supposed to know.
Unfortunately, Servitors of Revelations aren't most
angels. 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? Hidden in plain
sight, as it were. And, certainly the fact that
nobody Knows which, if any, divine religion is correct
has caused more than a few deaths over the millennia.
True, it doesn't seem to be dissonant to not
investigate, for some reason, but it still feels
wrong.
The end result of all of this is that Servitors of
Revelations are infamous for trying to track down a
solution to more than one ineffable question. They
really don't care what the answer is, as long as they
get one, so sometimes they can get in over their
heads. Whether it's trying to track down the final
destination of the Buddha (blithely ignoring the
unofficial truce between Heaven and the Hindu
pantheon, of course) or trying to sneak into Hell and
resonate Kronos to see if he's a Fallen Jesus
Christ...
Well, the adventure possibilities are obvious: when
they get in over their head, somebody has to go get
them before they drown. Resolving these situations
can require anything from subtle political and
diplomatic negotiations to a full-scale military
assault with Holy AK-47s. There's been one occasion
where both were required at once (it's amazing how
much trouble a Seraph of Revelations can get into on
her own). There are times when the Host would much
prefer to just write off the angels, of course, but
Litheroy gets annoyed when that happens: besides, one
thing that you can always count on about Servitors of
Revelations is that they probably know lots of things
that they probably shouldn't. They also have a real
problem with keeping their mouths shut.
And, of course, the only thing worse than failing in
one of these rescue missions is, well, succeeding.
After all, now you've got experience in this sort of
thing, which means that your name gets written down in
a wide variety of little notebooks for the next time a
similar problem comes up...
