Judgements are the ultimate power (as far as we know) in the universe. Powerful celestial entities, the Judgements oversee the lesser beings that exist alongside and beneath them.

It is also known, to a few select individuals, that Judgements are not unstoppable, quite the opposite in fact. Through arcane research and dedication bordering (and often well past) the bounds of insanity, the [http://thefifthcity.wikia.com/wiki/Revolutionaries:_the_Calendar_Council Anarchists] are slowly devising methods on which to kill the Judgements, as part of their quest to achieve the Liberation of Night.
