====Throne====
Similar to Cherubim, but much more potent and harder to create or summon.<ref name=":8">Thrones are greater forces, akin to Cherubim, but created and set forth by distant powers or greater Angels.  They are typically assigned a task, and are very good at accomplishing that task, and they are very powerful.  An example might be a Throne of Light that appears as a scouring beam, ten feet across, traveling half a mile in one direction over a short period of time.  Practices do not typically protect against Thrones. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1joxVXjTkRomYbbUQbkUSPqR9yMGEOhovrKo4P58rbv0/edit EVANGELISTS], document by Wildbow.</ref><ref name=":9">Such a summoning typically requires some time, resources, and tertiary preparations.



The first difficulty in employing Thrones is that Thrones typically require permission to use and permission is requested as the Throne is summoned - if permission is refused, it typically means the Evangelist is unable to use the Throne and punished for their impertinence.  One should be prepared with arguments in favor of the Throne’s use in case they are asked, keeping in mind that they may be challenged by members of a specific choir, and not always the one most closely or intuitively linked to the Throne or situation at hand.  Arguments should be tailored in kind, and one should be mindful that repeated use of Thrones, especially as shortcuts, may be met with retribution or rebuke.<br>The secondary issue of using a Throne is that they tend to involve major and inexplicable events that reach the public.  If practitioners cannot keep these events out of the public eye, limiting activity to arenas and specialized attention-evading barriers, or to combat in other realms and foreign demesnes, they are far more likely to be refused and also very likely to suffer a steep karmic penalty.  - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1joxVXjTkRomYbbUQbkUSPqR9yMGEOhovrKo4P58rbv0/edit EVANGELISTS], document by Wildbow.</ref>

Each are incredibly powerful, and very good at performing the task given to them. For example, a Throne of Light might create a scouring beam that reaches for half a mile and is ten feet wide. Magic generally is unable to defend against thrones.<ref name=":8" />

Thrones are tightly controlled by the higher angels, with any attempt to summon one requiring persuading an angel to grant their permission during the summoning.<ref name=":9" />
