Quote:The Tsayadim today are secretive, clannish, and intensely loyal, to one another and their vanished Superior. After centuries of hiding within the hidden society of celestials on Earth, their isolation and fanaticism has only intensified. More than a few are half-crazed, and when a Tsayadim does start accumulating Discord, it most often manifests as Paranoia (which is justified, because now they are being hunted by everyone, including their former comrades!)
Besides Uriel's Attunements, which are very powerful and which only the Tsayadim may possess, they also maintain a repertoire of Songs that Uriel taught them, and which they guard jealously. Remember that all remaining Tsayadim have survived as effective Outcasts for over twelve hundred years, without the protection of a Superior; they are very powerful and very dangerous foes.
Quote:Seraphim
The highly attuned senses of the Seraphim of Purity can pick out the slightest strain of disturbance in the Symphony. If their Perception roll to detect a disturbance is 2 or better- i.e. if it is within the range of their senses- they automatically succeed. (Roll the d666 anyway to get the check digit.)
Cherubim (Restricted)
Cherubim of Purity are the ultimate trackers; they do not need to make physical contact to attune themselves to something. They can attune themselves to the trail their target left behind. This can be any physical remains, from a fingerprint to a discarded candy wrapper. They do not necessarily know who or what they are attuning themselves to, but once they're on the trail, they can follow it to the ends of the Earth....and beyond. If their target leaves the corporeal plane, then when the Cherub gets to the location where this took place, he must make a new Resonance roll to avoid losing the trail. If he makes the roll, he can continue following his quarry, even to Heaven, Hell, or the Marches.
Cherubim of Purity can attune themselves to something that has caused a ripple in the Symphony, if they hear the echoes. Many of Uriel's Cherubim also obtained his Seraphim's Attunement, making them an evasive celestial's worst nightmare.
Because the objects of their attunements are often prey, Cherubim of Purity can easily sever an attunement to someone deserving of punishment; when making a Will roll to dissolve a bond, they get a bonus equal to the sum of the attuned person's dissonance and Discord.
