The Choir
“They were not born in the Beginning. They were born when we began to believe there could be one.” — Archdeacon Elira Voss, “The Light That Came After”
Overview
The Choir is the celestial pantheon of divine beings born not from creation, but from belief. They are the emotional archetypes of virtue—manifested in the wake of apocalypse and despair by mortals who dared to dream of healing, of joy, of something better.
The Choir did not exist in the earliest centuries after the Fall. Their arrival marked a new epoch of metaphysical balance. Since then, the Choir has grown into a structured divine order—its presence felt across every region of the known world.
Though they do not call themselves gods, the faithful often do. The Choir works through miracle, vision, and guidance. Their power is real, and their influence vast—especially in the modern era.
Divine Hierarchy
Archangels
The three Archangels embody the primal forces that uplift sentient life: Love, Joy, and Courage. Their manifestations are rare and awe-inspiring—monumental events remembered for centuries.
Angels
The Angels represent more specific and personal virtues. They appear in dreams, answer prayers, and perform quiet miracles. In rare moments of crisis or sanctity, they have descended upon the mortal world, leaving behind sacred relics or consecrated ground.
Worship and Presence in the World
In the modern era, faith in the Choir is widespread and deeply integrated into society. Religious structures echo the grandeur of Catholicism, with rituals, relics, and saints replaced by liturgies to angels and city-wide holy days.
- Towns typically contain a chapel to the Choir.
- Cities often host multiple churches—some dedicated to specific angels, others to the Choir as a whole.
- Metropolises feature massive cathedrals, often built at sites where angels once manifested or performed miracles.
Choir worship is both personal and institutional. Divine casters, lay believers, and ordained clergy all contribute to an ever-growing theological tradition. The angels do not demand worship, but belief strengthens them—and in return, they uplift the faithful.
