[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 4802361, member: 6533"] I like that all of the angels are attempting redemption - more or less - but that some are simply far less zealous about it than others. It gives the 'wicked gods' trope a lot more traction if their wickedness isn't in what they do so much as that they refuse to do it well or in a beneficial way. My one critique is that the numbness is a kind of awkward term for the sort of degradation you're discussing. I understand that it's literal, but it lacks something in terms of aesthetics. I also like the time and light theme. If you play it right it lets you do a lot with calendars and giving new symbolism to when things are set. Maybe there can be literal significances to that where time itself has become more or less powerful and rigorous as the angels who embody it have failed to live up to their expectations. One question: You mention that the Fey, Dragons, and other 'Great' Creatures were created by the angels to help them run things. Are clerics and other Divinely sourced characters working in that tradition? Do they represent some new tactic by the angels to create faithful or restorative servants? Or are they something different altogether? [/QUOTE]
