Excerpts are the operators of the Divines in the Twilight Mirage. They fulfill the role known in other cultures as Candidates or Elects.

While Divines are sentient beings, they are still paired with humans when performing their tasks. The influence that the Excerpt has over the functioning of the Divine (and vice versa) varies from Divine to Divine. Compared to Candidates and Elects of Divines, Excerpts have a greater role in determining which actions the pilot/Divine pair should take and how resources should be allocated.

Excerpts take a new name along with their position. The name is a line excerpted from the Divine Fleet's holy books, which may be abbreviated to a single word.

Known Excerpts

  • ⸢Signet⸣ (They marked scars of light in pitch; born in fiercest purpose, and beheld as the signet sealed upon our pact.): Former Excerpt of Belgard, and the last living Excerpt of a third-generation Divine. Member of the Beloved Dust.
