Once, the Angels of the Spheres set the stars in their great design, using their mastery of portals to travel the great distances required. Now, the Fourth House fears what has become of the design in their absence.

Cosmic movers of fate.

House Lore: Lore of Light, Lore of Patterns, Lore of Portals


As Angels: The Seers were set to watch over the grand design of the cosmos. They regulated the means by which the heavens affected the Earth, directing the swell of tides through the course of the moon and winding the Earth to experience the seasons in turn. One of their number, Ahrimal, was the one who saw the dire portents that would affect mankind, which spurred the angels to rebellion.


The Pitt: Once, they were creatures of order, but The Pitt could not be codified, charted or piloted. Without the great engines of Heaven to provide a measured routine, they went mad.


The Return: When the walls of The Pitt cracked, the Fiends sensed the great engines again and sought their freedom. Upon reemerging, however, they found the heavens derelict and undirected, while the great engines moved as if they were rusted and broken. The Fiends had regained their touchstone, but it was cracked and worn, possibly beyond repair… but then, the same could be said for them.


Possession: Fiends possess an affinity for patient seekers of knowledge, those, like themselves, who question the universe by boldly prodding it, by getting their hands dirty, and by stumbling about in the dark with little regard for body or soul. The Fiend knows that just as important as the truth, is the quest to obtain it.


Factions: Fiends prize the search for knowledge above all. Within their broken breasts lies a genuine need to recapture that absolute clarity when the

universe hid few secrets from them. Most become Cryptics. Their second-most common faction are the Luciferans, maybe because Lucifer protected the Fiends from recrimination when the war was at its worst. Some see humanity as just another design to be directed and become Faustians. Few Fiends are drawn to the Reconcilers, if only because they were always so distant that Paradise was never really theirhome. Rarely do they become Raveners, knowing the end can only be an oblivion darker than The Pitt.
