Tinels Divine Servants
Servants of Tinel
Tinel has three primary groups of celestial servants, each with a leader. The Scriveners Tinel commands an enormous body of scribes, all of them mute and hooded. They take note of every event in the Material Plane and Heaven, thus writing the supreme record of history. Their chief is called the Black Scribe, as he alone among them wears rich robes of sable and ermine trimmed in silver as the symbol of his office. Only the Black Scribe speaks, and he conveys news to Tinel and orders to the Scriveners. The Cataloguers It is said every book ever written by hand, mortal or immortal, is stored in the library of Tinel. Tinel learns all thoughts ever written, though sometimes he must read them from his own library, which is in some ways an aspect of the god’s supreme mind. The Cataloguers store the works of mortals and all the records of the Scriveners, making them available to Tinel (or other gods, if Tinel wills it) whenever necessary. Their chief, the Grey Librarian, named for her robes of grey wolf fur, trimmed in gold, is the only member of the Cataloguers who speaks to Tinel. But all Cataloguers are capable of speech, and constantly whisper to one another. It is said their halls constantly echo with unearthly whispering and the scratching of their quills. The Eyes: Made up primarily of swift-winged rooks, the Eyes are Tinel’s creatures, animals and other beings associated with him, who go from the Material Plane to Heaven and back, reporting on all they witness. The Eyes whisper their findings to the Scriveners, who take their notes to be catalogued by Cataloguers. Some Eyes are said to be far more frightening than rooks, ravens, or any natural animal. The chief of the Eyes is called the White Whisperer. Hooded in robes of snow-fox fur trimmed in ebon, the White Whisperer’s true form is a mystery. Beyond these groups, Tinel has close ties to the archangel Uriel, who is the guardian of Heaven and watches the gates Tinel locked long ago. The faithful of Tinel, particularly those concerned with magic, praise Uriel in their prayers, for after Tinel stripped magic from the mortal races, it was Uriel who convinced the Lord of Secrets to return it. Legend has it that the Archangel bore the power of magic back to the mortal races within a great chest, or ark.
