The Monarch enthroned needs hands and eyes to shape the world, and so angels are born from the Throne. The Monarch dethroned sheds their ambition to rule as they fly to Generation's side, and so demons are born from the Throne. These Throneborn are shards of a Monarch's person and power that can--are you surprised?--be wielded as any other weapon.
Angels are all reason and no will. Once their Monarchs have died, they wait inert for another's will to summon them. The ambitious and the desperate may contract with angels for their powers--becoming warlocks, and using a dead Monarch's Court-gift like it was their own. But beware, o thou would-be warlock, that their contracts are more iron than ours and never as sensible. The Joy-of-Roses demanded a thousand poems and a thousand duels in ten days from its last unlucky warlock.
It's said that foolish soul failed and instead of the glorious death he expected, was forced to live his threescore years so blighted no one would recognize him for a rose.
Demons are all will and no reason. Courting possession isn't wise but the even more desperate may do it, and the unfortunate may stumble into it. Warlocks run special risks: A Monarch's demons can smell the imprint of their angels.
A demon consumes the host's will, becomes the host's will. In return for being driven forever to seek the Throne and die on it, a demonhost gains a Prince-gift without the knowledge to use it. Few survive and fewer thrive.
Nephele-that-is has no Demons of Sacrifice. To willingly renounce the Throne, it seems, leaves one's will intact.
Since taking a contract of my own, here, I have been followed by lean and starving temple animals.
