Editing In Nomine (section)

==Words: The Big Movers and Shakers==
One of the building blocks of the setting is the concept of Worded Celestials, Angels and Demons who have become so attuned to a concept that they can gather Essence (see below) from the concept being reinforced (with the slight downside that if the Word in question fades from the Symphony, so does the Celestial holding it (i.e., they die)). It is theoretically possible for two beings to hold the same Word, but in practice doing so causes Very Bad Things to happen to both Word-Bound until one of them either changes their Word or dies. 

Words range from the big, important Words held by Archangels and Demon Princes, such as "Justice", "Trade", and "Animals" (for Heaven) or "Greed", "Factions" and "Nightmares" (for Hell) to much smaller things, like "Marriage", "Science Fiction", or "Courtly Love".

One of the more remembered footnotes of In Nomine was the Demon of Stale Bong Water, who existed to prove a point: Don't pester Lucifer for a Word. He may just grant you one.
