DIVINE SERVANTS
Each Divine holds under them a great court, a tiered hierarchy of powerful entities that help contain their portfolio and domains. These servants do not stray from their patron, but can be said to have differing personalities and aspects, as if they on their own are not the whole being and are each one part of a whole. It is through these servants that signs are given, and communication is possible.

---

- [ ARCHANGELS ] -
The Archangels are the main servants directly below the Divine themselves, and are the holders of the ‘Domains’ associated with them. These are the strongest of all Divine servants, and as a result, very rarely make appearances. One Archangel of any court will be titled the ‘Grand Archangel’ and it is this one specifically that holds sway over the Angels and Messengers below them even if they all work together. Many Archangels are inhuman and closer to eldritch beings than anything resembling humanoid, but in rare instances they do take on a more humanoid form as to be easier to gaze upon should they grace the mortal plane. It is possible that to lay eyes upon an Archangel in its true form results in the mortal mind fracturing and leading to insanity, but there are no records of such kept.
__________________________________________

- [ ANGELS ] -
Angels are the more commonly known entities of any Divine Court, and each court holds up to five of them in total. Too many Angels in one court begin to cause disruption and infighting, and so whilst some hold five, many prefer to keep at the ideal three. These are the entities that offer signs to the faithful and take care of tasks that require more than a Messenger, and whilst they are powerful in their own right, do not compare to the divine might of an Archangel. They are the more often seen presences of the world, easier to communicate with and to witness, taking on far more humanoid appearances and not risking the sanity of an individual by being seen.
__________________________________________

- [ HERALDS ] -
Heralds are akin to Angels in power, but they are the designated messenger of their God, and whatever a simple Messenger is not tasked with, the Herald will do instead. Each court will only have one Herald, and they are the most commonly seen of any Angel or Archangel, with a distinct form and personality considered palatable to mortal eyes. Heralds are generally the ones responsible for granting blessings to the faithful.
__________________________________________

- [ MESSENGERS ] -
A Divine Messenger works directly for the Grand Archangel, and whilst there is no limit on how many of them there could be for the strength of an Archangel is great, they generally opt for very few on the mortal plane at any one time. They are stronger than mortals, but they are not unbeatable and are often given a directive that involves them blending with mortal people and therefore appearing the closest to them. They hold emotions, their souls rumoured to be ancient souls of the most faithful, though hold no recollection of such. They also have minor abilities and skills, but they vary from Messenger to Messenger.

An example of the hierarchy of Ignis’ Divine Court would be:
Grand Archangel: Light
Archangels: Glory, Truth
Angels: Order, Fire, Nobility
Herald of Ignis:
