Now THIS is an awesome setting idea (not to mention a cool story). Of course, to prevent Laurence snuffing it in ten seconds after Michael stops weeping, gets his axe, and goes into Hell to do What Must Be Done, he needs some company down there; Hell can't have only ONE warrior for this to work. Obviously Kronos probably just woke up again after his relaxing little nap, but who else could use a Infernal Makeover (copyright Nybbas Inc., All Wrongs Reserved) with Laurence? Maybe Marc? He might be uncomfortable with the changes to his Word considering I imagine a Novalis-style victory would make everybody give instead of trade (not that Trade would really die out, but maybe Marc would still be bothered enough by the changes to his style? The conflicts of business would certainly feel a triffle wimpy in the new world). Even better, David might feel Novalis is coddling humanity under the new order and feel they need something to face to be strong. And as another former Malakim, even one who didn't fledge that way, he too might be unhappy with the change after so long. And Asmodeus (if he still hasn't cracked) could be the subject of an "rescue" by somebody Falling.

He was the only Malakim which knew of the existence of the mirror save perhaps a few of the Tsaydim but it was too great a secret to ever be shared despite the pain it caused Laurence, it was merciful he was not a Seraphim or he would have gone dissonant from the lies he would have to tell to keep the ungodly thing hidden. For the billionth time Laurence considered lifting his blade and destroying the artifact created from a diseased mind but his faith wavered at the last moment and he was shamed again for his inability to strike. God had decreed free will for humans but this was an artifact for angels....it was not wrong to keep it's usage, especially with the horrors of the war. Laurence shuddered as he wandered away through the halls again and shut the doors tightly behind him. The Mirror of Uriel smoking with it's image of Laurence's tattered wings and mad cruel gaze behind him. The Mirror of Uriel The Mirror of Uriel is a creation of Uriel from well before the Fall as it was created by the Archangel of Purity to reflect his visage and show him any of his faults which by itself is not such a terrible thing but Uriel eventually grew impatient of correcting flaws the old fashioned way and decided to speed the process up by imprisoning the concepts inside the mirror by purging them from his very forces. Refreshed and rejuvinated Uriel continued this process for many centuries as the mirror grew stronger with the massive ammount of essence that was poured into it. Eventually the mirror became like a field around his castle and the flaws of all who dwelled in his castle were absorbed like water into a sponge, making it the best place in all of heaven to absorb dissonance. What Uriel did not realize was that the artifact had grown a sentience of it's own and had fledged like an angel with all the corrupted forces and personality it had absorbed, becomming an imensley consuming selfish yet powerful thing that desired nothing more than to absorb more and more flaws in Heaven. Uriel would have destroyed such a thing immediately had he not realized it would also release all his pent up dissonance and by then the Fall was occuring which Uriel was shocked and horrofied at, the mirror however rejoiced and faced with things Uriel could neither understand nor desire and the Mirror made him an offer which Uriel faced with the horrors decided was the lesser of two evils and indeed a great good, the mirror would remove the fundamental aspect of his soul which would allow him to become so twisted as to be the polar opposite of his true nature, the evil could build up in his heart but enough would never be allowed to shatter it as that energy sped immediately to the mirror no matter what the distance. The Mirror of Uriel then transformed Uriel as that vital something was removed and Uriel replaced what he had lost of his essential nature with oaths, filling himself with goals that would distract him from the thing he no longer possesed and went to battle with the Darkness. The Mirrror now invigorated beyond anything it had ever tasted before made the deal with another Archangel and many more lesser angels as it's power grew amazingly strong. Uriel staring at the hideous thing, locked it immediately away in the deepest wretches of his castle as he did his best to regulate his servants and make sure they absorbed as little dissonance as possible, falsely believing that it's power was still based in him and his servants alone. However unable to cope with the innate "wrongness" he felt around normal angels and people Uriel became increasingly fanatical about dealing with evil until the point he decided to repeat his experiment with the mirror but attacking directly the source of humanity's wows by eradicating the very ability to dream and define evil. The Purity crusade was well known and it's results less so, Uriel after the trial began again faced the mirror and seeing his horrid madness stripped himself of every flaw he had and dissapeared into the Higher Heavens not able to exist in any capacity that could deal with normal concerns anymore...though the Mirror likes to taunt it's rare visitor with the lie (he prays) that Uriel was simply destroyed or completely absorbed by the mirror. The Appearence The mirror is a great silver mirror inlaid with dragons on the side and usually obscured in smoke until someone gazes upon it in which they see all their flaws and attachements which distracts them away from total union with god. A malakim however will see something much more horrid and something he likely has never concieved of before in his life if he fledged as such, his fallen form. Once Laurence failed to keep one of his fellows away from the mirror and the man instantly was stricken mad that Laurence watched him slaughter forty innocents on the Earth as his heart became black and lifeless, and he had to be destroyed. Powers The Mirror used to be able to remove dissonance at will with the cost of three essence per point to a potentially unlimited amount but it's power has grown to the point that while in Uriel's castle because of it you can lose a full point every hour just by being near it, in front of it if you can stand the sight for a full minute you can remove a point at the end of the second's turn on a watch. Heaven help any demon who stands before it (unlikely since few of the Sympathetic to the Twisted hang around the Cathedral) for the sight would surely strike any mad if not destroy them utterly. While not since the Fall has enough evil and confusion been in Heaven for the mirror to make the pacts it used to transform fully formed angels who might be suspcious into Malakim, it still posseses that power and if a fully fledged angel knowingly has his capacity for Falling removed (all transformed during the Fall did this though only Uriel and a few of his servitors truly understand what they were doing and who they were communicating with) the Mirror will scrape him of his choir's inherent "weakness" and if he is to not disentagrate he can make oaths to fill the void and become a true malakim though Laurence's vigiliance has thus far kept this curious event from occuring. As the device posseses the "dark sides" of no less than three Superiors and untold countless Malakim living and dead it is an awesomely powerful artifact but Heaven's restrictive goodness keeps itself from all but it's fledgework and of course concealing it's actions thus far. It secretly longs to go to the Earth where weakeness is more vunerable or God help it, Hell itself but it desires the knowledge that it like Legion can stand against the combined forces of Heaven and Hell first and is until then biding it's time as it waits for someone powerful like Michael or Lucifer to make itself invincible. Note, Laurence recognizing it's inately evil nature is suffering it live and it is pained indeed by it but he suspects even if he can destroy the thing....that there will at the very least be no more Malakim. At the worst there is the possibility of sin and damnation for all and that is the one thing truly terrifying enough to cow Laurence. - -Charlemagne ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2001 22:58:46 -0400 From: "Charles Phipps" Subject: Re: IN> Superior Word Victory Hehehe I love this.

Close examination of a Statuette will show up the differences: the color is slightly off, there's the faintest hint of horns on the figure's head, and at any rate the inscription is invariably "Ishtar: Best Picture". Statuettes are Talismans: Emote (adds to skill), and are unique in that the user doesn't need to carry the item. Servitors of the Media often use this talisman as sort of ... a pick-me-up ... for their 'clients'. After all, the Life is a demanding one: there's all those parties, all those publicity stunts, all those drugs and debauchery - and not enough time to sleep. After a while, it can seriously drain a person. Thanks to this little baby, though, none of it matters. Just fondle it a little in the morning, just before starting filming, and you'll be on top of your form for the rest of the day. No fuss, no muss. Of course, the specialized design features (Nybbas won't ever use the word 'bugs') of the relic ensure that prolonged use will kill you, but what the Hell?

Moe :The Ladder of Perfection: This isn't really a relic, per se: it's just an ordinary book written by Saint John Climacus. Well, this version was written and published in Heaven, incorporated into its pages everything that the blessed soul could discover about the nature of angels and Heaven in three hundred years of patient questioning, and makes demons queasy just to look at it, but other than _that_, it's just an ordinary book. :The Ladder of Perfection: is most often found in angelic Tethers, where it's assigned as an study aid to those attempting to shed dissonance. There's no real game benefit (although particularly benevolent GMs might allow someone who's constantly and exclusively studying the book to slightly increase the rate that they shed dissonance): it's mentioned for local color. However, as it _is_ a level/0 relic, it can be used as the basis for unique artifacts. Many copies are minor reliquaries or talismans, for those angels with a scholarly bent. ===== Liber Licentiae Moeticae: http://www.stormloader.com/users/moelane/innomine.html Last updated 04/01/01(this is usually way out of date) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In that case... well, I admit that it ruins the mood of "Everybody Redeemed", but you *can* just up and kill the sucker. And not in battle, either. Legally. As in "formally tried, sentenced, convicted, given a last chance to repent, didn't take it, next stop is the headsman's block." Come on, you've got to let Dominic get at least *one* of his cases closed without having to drop the charges... And it's poetic, in a way. Lived strictly by the rules and by the numbers... died strictly by the rules and by the numbers.

The most Forces a Ghost would have would be 6 (And that is very rare according to Corporeal Player's Guide). Couldn't get any info on large anchors though. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2001 12:47:15 -0400 From: "Eric Bertish" Subject: Re: IN> Arr. >No books with me, darn it.

Redneck Gaijin wrote an article on ghosts for Pyramid... http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/sample.cgi?1061 .. assuming the link works.

Well, actually, Moe, although I intensely enjoyed your Word Victory article, I had some doubts about the wholesale redemption myself. Yes, I can see some of them, but there are some that I cannot imagine redeeming. Malphas is at the top of my list, even above Asmodeus. Also Lilith and Andrealphus. (Lucifer of course gets a list by himself.) This is because I think of the above Princes as the most intrinsically selfish (even by Hellish standards), and therefore the most immune to any argument that requires them to look beyond themselves, which is the first step toward Redemption.
