Innocence

As part of the Seal of Solomon, unawakened humans are shielded from the "true" nature of the world. Over time, karma has reinforced this rule even among unsealed Others.

Examples

The Feorgbolds sent by the Briar Girl hunted Blake but did not pursue him when he fled into a gas station full of people.<ref>Was that a rule, here? No monsters after sunrise, or no monsters when others could see? - Excerpt from Bonds 1.2</ref>

Midge's rampage in the spirit world was interpreted through innocence.<ref>As a group, Fell, Rose, Maggie and I stopped by a store display. Televisions played, showing surveillance camera footage and cell phone video. A crazy obese woman in the middle of a city street, flinging glass at fleeing shoppers. The news caption on the bottom read ‘Drug-fueled rampage?’

The pattern was the same, the path she took, amid cars that had stopped in the middle of the street.

Until she was gunned down. In the same spot where Rose had banished Midge.

We watched as the screen changed over. Changing topics. Arson, fires throughout the city. Car accidents. Property damage. Deaths. - Excerpt from Subordination 6.8</ref>

One Nightmare-type monster was invading dreams. Targeting normals. Not affiliated with Johannes or Sandra. Found wandering the streets in a human guise, spotted through the trickery with innocence, cut down with katana. - Excerpt from Interlude 10</ref> and Blackguards recieve training on how to use Innocence to their advantage.
