Description
The most powerful archons reside in Iudica, the sixth tier on the holy mountain of Heaven. Okenevems live among their number. Okenevems have evolved from lowly zoaems to their current form, but they possess even further potential—the grace to pass through into the Garden at the pinnacle of Heaven. Yet these archons choose not to, instead prostrating themselves at its gates, at peace with never entering. Humble and unpretentious above all, they bow before the grandeur of Heaven and set themselves to work in other ways.
Okenevems rarely travel away from Heaven unless they're tasked with a specifc deed by the divinities of that plane. Most of these missions require okenevems to bring humility to priests who press against the will of deities, defy the order of heaven, or consider themselves to be of equal power to their god. They seek to steer these priests away from the dangers of such arrogance, often by example.
