A list of Divines ordered by affiliation. The list contains repeats, which are marked with an asterisk.

Diaspora and Golden Branch[edit | edit source]

Divines either created by the Autonomous Diaspora or who spent significant time in the Golden Branch during the period of time COUNTER/Weight and the COUNTER/Weight prequel take place in.

Divine Fleet[edit | edit source]

The cast has named about 40 of the approximately 300 Divines in the Fleet at its height. Independence is here, too. Depending on interpretation, some Divines associated with the Fabreal Duchy whose origins have not been described explicitly may be from the Fleet as well.

Divine Principality[edit | edit source]

Divines aligned with or created or recreated by the Divine Principality. None of them can die.

Others[edit | edit source]

Waking Cadent's Court[edit | edit source]

Divines whose excerpts served the Waking Cadent; so far, they are mostly former Axioms, although it's implied there were others who were brought from Altar.[1]

Qui Err Coalition[edit | edit source]

Divines with an ongoing relationship to the residents of the Mirage and Quire after the withdrawal of the Divine Principality. Other than those named, this apparently includes Fleet Divines resurrected from cultural memory onto Altar by Quire and many "new, weird Divines" like Arbit.[1]

Divine Collaborate[edit | edit source]

Divines from the Collaborate. Rogalian was eventually subverted to the Principality. Perennial isn't on this list: she can never go home again.

Millennium Break[edit | edit source]

So far, all the Divines known to be working directly with Millennium Break are on Palisade, but Palisade's not the whole galaxy.

Palisade[edit | edit source]

Chimera’s Lantern[edit | edit source]

Divines who came to rest here have diverse histories, having spent time on or among the Waking Cadent's Court, the Divine Principality, and Palisade. Belgard, as part of the Chimeric Cadent, could be said to be among them.

Palisade's faction[edit | edit source]

Divines that left the Fleet with Palisade or joined him before the planet went dormant. They are all known to be former Divine Fleet members, except for Filigree.

Fabreal Duchy[edit | edit source]

It should be assumed these Divines are forcibly and unwillingly associated with the Fabreal Duchy. Around half are known to be former Divine Fleet members, while Consultation, Filigree, Guilt, Influence, Leadership, Responsibility and Unction are up to interpretation and may instead have been created by the Divine Free States or have come from elsewhere.

Independents and unknowns[edit | edit source]

This includes leaders of their own factions like Perennial, Independence and Rigour, as well as Divines known to have fought with the Rapid Evening in the past. Chthonic is listed here, as a post-Divine or pseudo-Axiom.

Extra or semicanonical Divines[edit | edit source]

Most of these Divines were used as examples. Difference, Pragmatism, Synthesis and Utopia are from the godspeed, glory passages quoting the Assemblage, where it is unclear whether some nouns are taking on the double meaning of a concept and a Divine at the same time. They may deserve to be in the Divine Fleet section, depending on personal interpretation.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. Independence was part of the Divine Fleet's founding, but left due to moral and philosophical disagreements with Kamala Cadence.
  2. Fealty's oath to the Twilight Mirage caused them to leave the Principality in the Road to PALISADE.
  3. According to Thisbe in "An Impossible Ideal Pt. 2", Loyalty was a part of the Principality during the Victorious Millennium. At some point, it left and eventually came to rest with the Chimeric Cadent.
  4. The Principality created Providence, but it rejected them violently and was deactivated.
