Most people on the List and most In Nomine source material seems to treat 
the Divine religions as a counterpart to the Pagan religions, but with a 
different focus; that is, they simply direct Essence to Heaven instead of 
to some Ethereal or other. 

But there is a factor that looms much larger than Essence when contemplating
these religions from a human perspective. In the real world, all the 
religions which In Nomine names as Divine hold out some form or promise
of Salvation of the soul, as a covnenant with the adherants of the religion
(as in Christianity or Islam), or as a special skill or ability vouchafed
unto the faithful adherants (as in Buhhdism), whereas most of those called 
pagan do not attest to such a covenant or special skill. 

In In Nomine terms, truly cleaving to a Divine religion must act as some
form of backup Destiny, allowing those who do so to avoid Hell, or achieve
Heaven when their own efforts along that line would have failed. The exact
nature of which is surely ranked high amongst those things which are 
Canonically Doubtful and Uncertain, to be sure, but still ...

It's a promise, do you see? Inherent in the very structures of the religions
themselves. And if that promise is a lie, then neither truthful Dominic nor 
honorable Lawrence could possibly give one of them their countenance.

So, somehow or other, the possiblity must be there.

Which brings up a question, actually.

How do they know?

What I mean is, we just got done saying that Dominic and Lawrence, at least,
must _know_ that divine religions _work_, even if they're not sure just how.

So, how _do_ they know?

Note that we here joyfully leap away from canon into the great grey world of
"In My Campaign".

Yegarim
The Witnesses of God's Love, The Recording Angels, The Scribes

Yegarim rarely leave the Celestial, as their duties lie almost exclusively 
within Lawrence's Cathedral. There is at least one Yegarim for every 
Divine religion or independent doctrinal subfaction thereof. Their duties 
lie in recording each soul saved into Heaven by that religion, (as opposed 
to those souls which were _of_ a particular religion but achieved their
destiny on their own) and attesting this fact to anyone who needs to know it.

It is somewhat uncertain as to where Yegarim come from, as they seem to just
step from the Cathedral's walls when a new Divine religion arises, or when
an existing divine religion grows large enough to require another Angel to
record its affairs. 

Celestially, Yegarim appear as aged but still strong human forms, robed and 
cowled in white.

Though they are not specifically created by any Archangel, as far as is 
known, Yegarim are considered to be Angels of Destiny IST the Sword.

Musically, Yegarim consider themselves to be the recorders of the score.

Resonance:
Yegarim can determine what religion, if any, a specific person clings to
truly, the check digit indicating specific sub-branch, and at higher levels,
to what extent the subject is orthodox to that doctrine.

If the subject is a member of the religion to which the Yegarim is attuned,
the Angel may also ascertain to what extent his or her Destiny depends
on the special dispensation provided by that religion.

Dissonance:
It is dissonant for any Yegarim to lead a mortal, by word or deed, away 
from the salvation provided by the divine religion to which he or she 
cleaves, if any.

New Yegarim come into being with an attunement which gives them an 
encyclopediac knowledge of the religion to whose doctrines they are attuned.

Lawrence has not yet seen fit to provide a Yegarim specific attunement,
but will provide normal Sword attunements to any Yegarim who somehow 
developed a need for one.

No Yegarim has ever been known to achieve a Word, nor has any been known to 
go Outcast or Fall.

Yegarim almost never descend to the corporeal or ethereal planes, and only
one whose religion had somehow faded is ever likely to have the time.

For reference, Roman Catholicism currently has about 40 Yegarim assigned 
to it.

A possible adventure seed would have a new Yegarim suddenly formed from an 
existing religion which had never showed any sign of being divine before.
The PCs would then be assigned to investigate this odd occurence.

Bonus points, of course, if the religion in question is, say, reformed 
Satanism, or similar.
