Yes, it's a title. Or more precisely, the angel who becomes archangel of the Wind takes the name Janus for the rest of the year. They aren't elected, though. Instead, each Janus must, as part of their duties, determine what the succession contest should be. The winner of the contest is announced at the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, so that upon the new Janus's ascension the days begin to lengthen. (Incidentally, I know that the winter solstice is the shortest night in the southern hemisphere. The angels of the Wind used a population weighted average latitude to determine which solstice they use to switch over at.) I'm planning on using a scavenger hunt as one years' contest, and getting the PCs involved in it. >>> Is the "machinery" of the Word in any sense tangible? >> >> Yes, the machinery is tangible, because I want to enable players to >> mess with it. > > This makes any Wordbound a little like a classic dragon or a > Tolkienian Ringbearer, possessed of a treasure they are addicted to > -- at least I'd suppose so. Apparently, the holder of Wind is not > very possessive; are Worded celestials not so much WordBOUND as > WordHOLDERS in your game? ("Here, I'm tired of this Word. You do it > for a while.") Words aren't necessarily addictive. However, they *do* shade a celestial's thinking, because the celestial's personal Symphony must be put into resonance with the Word in order to forge the link. Michael sees War whereever he looks, because he has been attuned to the word of War. It's a much stronger version of the effect that most celestials feel when they swear into an Archangel or Demon Prince's service. Desperation, greed, idealism, or other motives can convince a celestial that it needs to change (or give up) its Word, though. When Lucifer binds a demon to a punishment-Word, they are kept away from the Word-machinery thenceforth, so that they *can't* smash it and escape his punishment. > > In Briah and Sheol -- Heaven and Hell -- all fundamental physics > > runs along musical lines. > > I recognize "Briah" from the kabbalistic lore of GURPS Cabal.

It depends on the service and the Superior. Perhaps Sargon invented the wide-mouth bottles that allow people to drink booze faster. That would please Haagenti muchly. Screw off tops so consumption wouldn't be frustrated by a lack of bottle openers. A new production technique that produced booze faster. Raising the drinking age so that kids will crave it, and when they finally get it, they won't know how to handle it. During prohibition alcohol production and consumption doubled.

However, celestials can perform alchemy, and don't even need the Humanity Attunement. The Corporeal Player's Guide gives as an example the Stoning Rod, which a Servitor of Stone who knows Alchemy and Enchantment can make, if they have the Cold Touch attunement. Most sorcerors and some celestials are under the impression that alchemy requires Sorcery, but it doesn't really.

I can't think of any other Archangel that would take the position; Novalis, Marc, Blandine, Christopher, Jean, and Eli are all too concerned with the human part of the war, in addition to being generally non-violent. Janus, Gabriel, and Jordi, while being martial Archangels, lack the stability for it. Zadkiel is also more sympathetic to the human condition, and, in addition to being a minor Archangel, she would be distracted from her current duties. Dominic is no warrior, and has his duties. Michael probably doesn't want the position back; he has more freedom to guide the War without being commander of the entire Host. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 20:45:13 -0500 From: Elizabeth McCoy Subject: Re: IN> After Laurence At 7:53 PM -0800 1/14/03, Joey's mail wrote: >> Let's ask the complementary question.

[...] I'd actually make this a GM call -- though they'd require the Sorcery attunement, at a minimum, and would have needed to get it when they were "human." But it would be pretty rare, and might have some interesting implications -- if they have the Fate-attunement of Sorcery, and are killed while in "human" form, do they get drawn to Hell? In front of the Angels of Final Judgment? Do they still look "human"? *smirk* Do they get auctioned off...? If the GM permits it at all, when forbidding it is the easier default.

So if you find errors or inconsistencies, don't blame me, blame my work environment or God. - -EDG Breakfast Surreal Serving Size: 1 cup Servings per container: 8-10 1 CP per serving Contents measured by weight. Some settling or melting may occur. Breakfast Surreal doesn't quite obey the laws of physics - it's sort of floppy even before you add the milk, and has a tendency to flow oddly out of the spoon. It's actually fairly tasty stuff, although it's low in fat and high in protein; unfortunately, it also promotes slow, subtle insanity. Each serving of Surreal is imbued with the Ethereal Song of Entropy; eating even most of a bowl is enough to trigger the effects. If the Surreal reduces the eater's Mind hits to 0, the Discord inflicted is invariably Need: Breakfast Surreal; the only exception is if the eater already has this Discord at level 6, in which case a random Ethereal Discord should be chosen. (There are rumors of double-powered boxes which inflict twice the Mind hits; these come in specially marked packages with brightly-colored marshmallow machine parts in the Surreal.) The Nerf(tm) Hand Cannon 3 CP per level Although the rounds this brightly-colored, plastic gun fires are plush (in fact, some variants use Koosh(tm) balls), and the damage they deal is entirely imaginary, the Nerf Hand Cannon is still a tremendously effective weapon. It deals "damage" as a large-caliber handgun, but the "Body hits" are not actually removed from the target; instead, when the target has taken enough "damage" that, if it were dealing actual Body hits, he would be killed, he is instead knocked unconscious and dealt 1 Body hit. A number of rounds later equal to the level of the Nerf Hand Cannon, the unconscious target may make a roll against the higher of Strength or Will to wake up; failure indicates that he is unconscious for CD rounds, at which point he may make the same roll. (Interventions function at the GM's discretion.) The Nerf Hand Cannon fires one plush "bullet" per round, and takes a twelve-bullet magazine. Bullets may be reused; reloading a magazine takes one second per bullet. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 11:20:55 -0500 From: "Josh Moger" Subject: Re: IN> Two new artifacts. >The Nerf(tm) Hand Cannon >3 CP per level You see, its for things like this that the odd Calabite of Lust is smuggled (beaten over the head and kidnapped) into Tarturus, force-stripped, and reassembled- with the choir attunement still in place, of course.

Basically, a series of Very Bad Things (TM) start to happen (beginning with the disappearence of Yves), leading everyone to believe that Doomsday is coming. Towards the middle of the story arc, Beleth gets an enormous power boost, and comes gunning for Blandine after somehow managing to break their Cherub-Djinn attunements. Laurence moves to assist Blandine directly, and they both end up confronting Beleth in the Far Marches. Beleth unleashes her new found power to destroy Blandine, and loses control. The end result is that Beleth, Blandine, and Laurence all are destroyed utterly, and the Marches get ripped asunder, making it too dangerous to travel in and causing all kinds of dream problems (as well as letting other Things in...) The Host devastated, having lost not only their Commander, but also Hope and Dreams. As soon as the Seraphim Council convenes, Michael stands up. "Alright people, this has gone on far too long.
