Kronos

== Subsidiary Words ==
Clicktivism, Desecration, Determinism, Invocations, the Irrevocable, Palimpsest, Persecution, the Precipice, Precision, Scandal, Serpents, Sympathies, Will, the Witching Hour, Writing
== Band Attunements ==
=== Rapha (restricted) ===
The raphaim of Fate are invisible to angelic resonance. Seraphim cannot hear their lies, malakim cannot tell their honor &c.
=== Tannean ===
Tanneanim of Fate can add Celestial Forces to their Perception at each viewpoint within themselves, when "haunting" a place.
=== Malak ===
Synchronicity favors the dark prince of Fate. Even if he does not have a malak Band Attunement now, one would be ready by the time one of the dark angels comes calling at his court. Kronos would require oaths that might seem consistent with the malakim’s previous vows, but which would clearly favor Hell in some way. A malak of Kronos may subtract their Corporeal Forces from the disturbance caused by killing a mortal that has fulfilled their Dark Fate.
== Distinctions ==
=== Counts ===
Each of the standard hours within the liturgical hours is the office of a count (with a number of “free” counts swelling their number beyond 28).
=== Archivist of the Hours ===
Kronos uses titles of nobility for his higher distinctions. Officially each title matches the Word of the servitor that holds it (Kronos only considers Wordbound demons for his highest distinctions). However, a powerful Word is not enough for promotion within the Archives. A demon must also know their own motivations and know that they can best serve those motivations by serving Kronos (actual loyalty is too much to expect, and Kronos probably would not trust someone who showed it).
And as far as outside duties go, that is entirely accurate.
Inside the Archives things are a bit different. If each duke were only responsible for those aspects of the archive relating to their own Word, most of the library would be under no one’s jurisdiction. This would be contrary to Kronos's whole outlook.
Instead, each duke has been assigned an hour for which they are entirely responsible. Not that this means they get any time off; it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere. Some records stay securely within one hour of the archives, others migrate from hour to hour. When this happens, each duke has the opportunity to audit the work of the duke previous.
Not all dukes care for this sort of work, but those that do are often able to use the errors of their preceding hour as leverage when trying to change the policies of the Archives as a whole. Finding errors elsewhere in the archives is also possible, but that might require the duke to explain why their staff was so far out of their own section.
Kronos uses the Christian liturgical hours to organize the Archives, and this his dukes, resulting in the following individual distinctions:
* The Archivist of Vespers
* The Archivist of Compline
* The Archivist of Matins
* The Archivist of Lauds
* The Archivist of Prime
* The Archivist of Terce
* The Archivist of Sext
* The Archivist of None
In addition, Kronos has invested a duke of the Thirteenth Hour, known as the Archivist of the Witching Hour, as well as an Archivist of the Eleventh Hour. The first serves as a patron of the sorcerous arts and the latter as Kronos's last-minute rescue team (rescuing the plan, of course; demons are expendable).
== Servitors ==
=== Unknown Rank ===
* , balseraph demon of Clicktivism (secondary resonance: malak)
=== Archivists of the Hours ===
An “Italian” hour is the same length as any other, but the count starts at dusk. Just count through the 12 hours (well, 13 in this case, but one makes its own time) and then start over.
The Archivists of the Hours are all among the demons named in the Nuctemeron. This text supposedly provides a formula whereby one may prepare themself for the light of God through the invocation of demons.
* Zahun, the impudite demon of Scandal, Archivist of the 1st Hour: Zahun is particularly knowledgeable about angels who are currently in disgrace. They share both a name and a Word with a kuriotes of Fire.
* Baglis, the balseraph demon of Precision, Archivist of the 2nd Hour: Baglis can resonate like an eloah and is as cold and dispassionate as the members of that choir pretend to be.
* Zarobi, the habbalah demon of the Precipice, Archivist of the 3rd Hour: Zarobi has a particular affinity for folk at the point of no return. Once they commit themselves, she hands them off to Zephar.
* Eistibus, the shedu demon of Determinism, Archivist of the 4th Hour: A counterpoint to Zarobi, Eistibus focuses on slow “inevitable” descents into Hell governed by events supposedly “beyond the control” of her targets.
* Tacritau, the balseraph demon of Invocations, Archivist of the 5th Hour: Tacritau can resonate like a seraph. He and his staff would be a perfect choice for intercepting unwanted calls to Kronos (or as a resource to learn more about those calls)
* Tabris, the balseraph demon of Will, Archivist of the 6th Hour: Tabris can resonate like a malak. His vows are: Suffer no evil to live, never surrender in a fight, never back down from a goal, never admit defeat. Tabris also happens to be a huge egotist and equates evil with opposition.
* Causub, the balseraph demon of Serpents, Archivist of the 7th Hour: Causub can resonate like a mercurian. He is a big proponent of the Songs of Serpents.
* Nantur, the balseraph 2nd demon of Writing, Archivist of the 8th Hour: Nantur can resonate like an ofan. It should also be noted that she previously held the Word of Palimpsest, and some say that is her Word still.
* Bukaphi, the calab demon and Archivist of the Witching Hour: Bukaphi’s resonance doesn’t just resemble aging, it can actually create a pocket of additional time. She works closely with those who champion witchcraft and sorcery.
* Zephar, the lilu demon of the Irrevocable, Archivist of the 9th Hour: Resisting a Geas invoked by Zephar can only postpone it ~ all the Geasa they invoke will eventually need to be fulfilled.
* Kataris, the djinni demon of Desecration, Archivist of the 10th Hour: Kataris is one of the Archivists most directly involved in the War. The demon enjoys the notoriety that a full commission under Ba’al brings to their hour.
* Halacho, the balseraph demon of Sympathies, Archivist of the 11th Hour: Halacho can resonate like a cherub. However, he is perfectly willing to harm those he’s attuned to when it serves his purpose. While he doesn’t like his discord, he wears them with a perverse pride.
* Misran, the balseraph demon of Persecution, Archivist of the 12th Hour: Misran can resonate like a kuriotes. She is also a virtuoso with of the Songs of Plagues.
