In Nomine New Orleans
Heavenly Tethers
The following are some of the well-known Heavenly Tethers in New Orleans. This list is not yet complete. Unless otherwise noted, these tethers are known to celestials on both sides in the city.
- The St. Louis Cathedral
- A large tether to The Sword. Usually, most the interior of the
building serves as the Tether. This is one of Lawrence's major
tethers in the American Southeast. The Seneschal is Lamalamaniel, an
Elohite Friend of the Lord's Troops, the Angel of St. Louis
Cathedral. He has the role of Father Moses Johnson.(Google

- The Monroe Library at Loyola University
- Only a few rows of stacks on the third floor of this library
(centered around the "LB" section) is the locus of this Tether. This
is a very small Tether to Destiny. Its seneschal is Mulidispiel, a
Kyriotate of Destiny.(Google

- Rickie's
- A jazz club on Bourbon St. between St. Peter St. and Toulouse St.
This club has been around since the early 20th century, and was one of
the places that many of the early greats of Jazz performed. Today,
it's a vibrant location where unknown but very talented jazz bands and
musicians can be heard from 11AM until the wee hours of the night.
It's a moderately strong tether to Creation, and has been since the
1920's, caught up with the development and maturation of Jazz. The
Seneschal is Joyherunai, a Seraph of Creation. She has the Role of
Joy Herun, an elderly woman who is a waitress at the club, and has
been there longer than any of the other staff. This tether is located
mere blocks from the tether to the Sword at St. Louis Cathedral.
Because of the history of New Orleans, servitors of Creation and the
Sword get along better here than they do typically. Father Johnson
and Joy Herun are friends, and converse regularly.(Google

Infernal Tethers
The following are the well-known Infernal Tethers in New Orleands.
- The Hammond Highway Bridge at the 17th St. Canal
- This teather to Saminga is the youngest stable tether in New
Orleans. It was formed in August, 2005 when the 17th St. Canal levee
broke during Hurricane Katrina. Nobody is quite sure why this levee
break in particular lead to the formation of a tether— or, if
anybody is sure, they're not telling. Saminga danced gleefully
through New Orleans in the early days of Katrina, before he got bored
and the servitors of Theft moved into cause as much ruckus as
possible— with servitors of Wind trying to mitigate the damage
caused by Theft. While there was a temporary tether to Wind inside
Katrina itself, and while there were numerous minor tethers to Theft
throughout New Orleans during the aftermath, they were all temporary
tethers that have since dissapated. This tether to Death is the one
that remained. The locus of the thether is along the shore of the
canal south of the Hammond Highway Bridge. (Google Map)
- Laurenda's Brothel
- A mansion in an
upscale residential area not far from the
intersection of Canal St. and Alexander St., this is in fact a
discreet high-end brothel with a client list that includes many of the
rich and famous. It is also a tether to Andrealphus. The Seneschal
is Monica, a Lilim of Lust.
