There was something on the tumblr about devils brewing liquor for the purpose of reproduction, when human or maybe a servant drinks the liquor (or presumably beer wine etc we saw at the contest) a small devil grows inside them. Most of these are consumed but some manage to scurry away to cause mischief. New devils can also grow from devils kisses in a process we haven't seen yet. So some bound devils come from pacts made by humans and others through parasitic reproduction process with humans and possibly servants.

Then there are unbound devils which exist in the void and are also used to power reanimated Angel bodies and other automatons, and are also in some way related to the devils' drinks but this hasn't really been explained.

everything a devil touches eventually turns into more devils. Devil liquor, the bodies of people who've been devil-marked, dead devils, the hot black flame consumes everything. this is probably the single greatest thing about the comic's worldbuilding; the arc of the universe is long and it bends towards devils. Cio is basically laying eggs in Allison's brain right now

wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

RIght, I think I finally understood almost everything that's going on in K6BD.

I just have a questions: the Throns are the omnicidal angels. What are the normal angels objectives? Upholding the Old Law, certainly, but what does that mean, considering that that doesn't include taking care of the criminal organizations in the city?

they are more like peacekeepers than policemen, i think

A Wizard of Goatse

The Old Law is the law the gods built into them, which is sort of not applicable in a world where all the gods are dead. Hence why they spent eons on their own just robotically defending the poo poo out of their turf and staring into nothing, until Zoss shook things up and lead to the angels splitting into the divine Taliban fighting the new order, the hedonist mercenary types who embrace it, and the slowly decaying police force of traditionalists.

nah i think the major fragmentation of the angels occurred during/after universal war, zoss and co forged a new compact with the angels in the period between the storming of heaven and the key scavenger hunt that basically gave them the peacekeeper role that the roots angels still try to follow

Well I mean we know exactly where the Thorns come from (Metatron being pissed about Zoss), and the Petals don't really seem like a coherent order with a real history so much as assorted dropout angels who'd rather gently caress around than enforce any law New or Old, so

Yes it does. It also includes regulations about which drugs are legal or not, and how they legal drugs should be stored.

Yeah, I think the Old Law does require action against the guilds and crime syndicates -- it's just that they're so entrenched, and the Concordance of Angels is so divided and limited in angelpower, that "rooting out the criminals as the Old Law commands" is impossible without substantially more resources than are available to White Chain.

I'd think that enforcing more regular societal laws was probably part of the Compact made with men when they started forging new armor for the angels.

One of the difficulties the traditionalists face is that no new angel armour has been created for something like 300 years. Any of them that die are stuck in the void unless they get involved with the thorns.

I dunno it seemed at first like the main deal with thrones was they hosed themselves up by making their own armor before we learned nope they've got a proper ideology. Then the one petal we've scene apparently felt "long live the new flesh" was important enough to shout right before dying so I'm not sure we won't later find out there's more to the petals than what we've been told.
