Others
Waking Cadent's Court
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]
Twilight Mirage and Quire system
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
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
So far, all the Divines known to be working directly with Millennium Break are on Palisade, but Palisade's not the whole galaxy.
Palisade
Chimera’s Lantern
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
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.
- Affection*
- Antiquity*
- Decisiveness*
- Filigree*
- Logic*
- Palisade*
- Reflection*
Fabreal Duchy
It should be assumed these Divines are forcibly and unwillingly associated with the Fabreal Duchy. They are all known to be former Divine Fleet members, except for Unction.
- Communicant*
- Consultation*
- Dissent*
- Emphasis*
- Fidelity*
- Filigree*
- Guilt*
- Influence*
- Leadership*
- Mercy*
- Opposition*
- Responsibility*
- Righteousness*
- Unction
- Versatility*
- Welkin*
Independents and unknowns
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.
- Bravery
- Chthonic
- Independence*
- Nobility
- Opportunity
- Perennial
- Perfection
- Rigour
- Viridity
Extra or semicanonical Divines
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.
- Brilliance
- Charity
- Commerce
- Friendship
- Frugality
- Generosity
- Justice
- Tranquility
- Vengeance
- Vigil
- Knowledge
- Determination
- Allegiance
- Difference
- Pragmatism

Notes
- ↑ Independence was part of the Divine Fleet's founding, but left due to moral and philosophical disagreements with Kamala Cadence.
- ↑ Fealty's oath to the Twilight Mirage caused them to leave the Principality in the Road to PALISADE.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ The Principality created Providence, but it rejected them violently and was deactivated.
