Jeth saw that much life had changed, since he had last paid attention to the mortal realms. Another god had emerged, thinking himself a trickster, and sought to steal magic from it's rightful owner. It was not to be, however, as the laws of universe, greater even than Jeth, kept the lofty title out of the wretches hands. The lax security of this realm had made it possible, and the lack of vigilance of it's inhabitants had almost allowed one god to seize the realm of another. Such a thing could not be allowed without due process, and Jeth would keep vigilant.
Helka enjoyed the cats named after her, which Jeth thought a nice gesture. The magnificence therein required a gift, even if none should know. Perhaps, in the future, more dealings would be possible, but it seemed her great works had tired her, so he would depart in a crescendo of light. Admittedly a parlor trick, as both knew, but Jeth felt a strong association with light. Perhaps because it was revealing? Truth would be important in the search for just laws, and importantly, in upholding them.
Still, what of the trinket made? While it was not the mantle of magic, like the little god (who thought he could sneak around! Ha!) desired, it was still an object of some power. While Jeth had no interest in mothering the other gods, he would definitely watch for those who sought to disrupt the order of the realms.
To this end, he would need mortal agents. Sentient life was on the cusp of awakening, merely needing a small push to start the competition. Life had flourished, and as things tended to be, it would get more complex as time went on, Jeth felt. There would need to be an impartial agent of his will, to set and uphold the laws regardless of the circumstances. Tempered with mercy, yes, but firm as iron.
Moving across space as a god was little more than a matter of will for him, perhaps less so if he were more corporeal. While limiting his ability to directly influence the world, it also allowed him greater presence and sight. These new archon, though, would have physical bodies, and limited sight. Perhaps through maintaining a relationship with them Jeth would be able to grant insight into not merely the word of law, but the spirit as well. And allow them to adapt to the sentience life to come.
Law is a powerful and just source, but turned against it's people, it is oppression. Jeth did not seek such an action, and would have to implement a mroe advanced code of action than the simple Helkats.
Tall by any standard, these Archon would be embodiment of law and order. A radiant metal would create an outer shell for these beings, forming plate mail to defend the bodies of those who would seek to deny justice and law. While at first, the suits would be empty and filled with divine will, eventually, Jeth hoped, those who would be worthy to take up arms against the fight of chaos and deception, and the power infusing the armor could be used more directly in combat. Metallic wings would allow them flight, and a great halbard offer them protection in both lethal and non-lethal options. Attached to the arm would be a large kite shield, imbued as the rest with a strong magic of protection.
How to allow them to communicate? Until a biological entity resided within them, they would be unable to speak. And an unknown law is one that cannot be followed, so Jeth would allow them short-ranged telepathy. This would also allow them to know when an accused or accuser would lie, a brilliant side affect. Innately, all the metal the Archon was made of would glow with radiant yellow light, reflection of the sun of this world.
Being not biological, they would never be able to reproduce. Jeth, howeve, would always be able to make more and, given time, the sentient races might also be allowed the secrets of their creation. To start, though, Jeth felt it would not be necessary to create more than 100. Worried about the devilssong he made previously, he protected them against corrupting influences, both physical and spiritual. Hopefully these protections would be enough, until such time as Jeth could revisit them.
At some later time, for Jeth felt tired now, he would have to instill them with their "basic programming" as it were, the things that were not to be allowed under any circumstances. The later symbiosis with biological entities would allow them to adapt with the times, but these laws would be immutable.
