Lyssa Description[edit] She personifies mad rage and frenzy, as well as rabies in animals. In Herakles she is called upon by Hera to inflict the hero Heracles with insanity. In this scenario she is shown to take a temperate, measured approach to her role, professing "not to use [her powers] in anger against friends, nor [to] have any joy in visiting the homes of men." Greek vase-paintings of the period indicate her involvement in the myth of Aktaion, the hunter torn apart by his own, maddened dogs as a punishment for looking on the naked form of the goddess Artemis.

Alex Fantalov: 200 mythological pictures (Greek, Scandinavian, Celtic, Russia, Finnish, Indian, Chinese, Zoroastrian mythologies) in oil and watercolor. The Grigori The Watchers The Lord spoke: "Have no fear, Enoch, good man and scribe of goodness. Come hear my voice. Go speak to the Watchers of Heaven, who have sent you to intercede for them. Tell them, You should intercede for men, and not men for you. (1 Enoch) In the early days after the Fall, before the demons had escaped from Hell and before the War had begun in earnest, the Seraphim Council debated long and long about how best to safeguard humanity. Seemingly in answer, God created the Grigori, the Eight Choir. The Grigori were truly the most "human" of angels. The Grigori were also the only angels who really felt comfortable on Earth, and who didn't mind staying there. It made them very, very effective at their jobs. The "Second Fall" In 11,600 B.C., it came to the attention of Heaven that the Grigori had become entirely too human; they had taken wives, started families, and some were even succumbing to debauchery, immersing themselves in corporeal pleasures.

Stories for children, folktales, fairy tales and fables INC: The Grigori (unofficial version) (unofficial version) by "Kirt A. Dankmyer -- aka Loki" (dankmyka@wfu.edu) Here is my version of the Grigori. It was raining. Fredrico didn't like the way the man had been standing there, watching him from across the street, waiting. Fredrico decided to ignore him while he locked up for the night. And nearly jumped out of his skin, when a voice behind him spoke: "If I could make a suggestion." Fredrico whipped around. "No," said the man. Fredrico looked at the chain. Outcasts one and all, shunned and heavily Discordant, there are still some Grigori left on Earth. Grigori have a resonance for fine detail. Nothing, no tiny detail, is beneath a Watcher's notice. This fine eye for detail also gives the Grigori an intuitive insight into any activity a human or Celestial might be undertaking. The fact that this part of their resonance can be applied to any activity is part of what tripped up the Grigori in the first place. Intimacy with humans generates dissonance in a Watcher. Blandine.

In Nomine Characters I've taken over the In Nomine Collection's Rogue's Gallery. Sorry to change the format so abruptly, but I'm trying to make it mesh with my GURPS Character Archive. Same rules as with the GURPS lot -- if you're not comfortable with a concept, don't read it. I'm not going to deal with the black background-white text trick, though. The game already requires one to be mature about religion being depicted in a game; if there are sexual issues in these pages (and there are some), you'll have to be mature about them, too. Some Words may be duplicated -- different people have different "takes" on what a Word-bound would be like, and whether they'd be an Archangel or not. Though these pages are located at the Steve Jackson Games web-site, the characters contained within are NOT canon!

That is precisely what the people of Nagvara Hills near Bangalore learned when a sloth bear decided to start murdering them.
