- Elder: Elder servitors are the oldest, most powerful servitors. They usually have the most responsibility with their Grand Design, usually in leadership roles among Servitors.

Lore Notes
Shorthand notes on servitors from conversation with Alex on 3/11/24.
- Servitors are "dumb", in that they have no personality, no memory, no will of their own. They are instantiated by their designs and exist for as long as the design needs them to exist. It's like they are given a freshly formatted memory stick whenever they are created.
- Sometimes a servitors can, when exposed to unknown, unpredictable circumstances within Shards, can "go local". They begin to desire to stay, they form memories, they form personalities.
- Things that are likely to influence this include interaction with mortals, magical investments, et cetera.
- Servitors backstage serving their design can't have personalities, so Asmodeus can't just go throw a bunch levers in the universal design of Night, because as soon as he goes backstage into Night, his personality bits pop off, just as if he were destroyed, and have to wait for a body to attached to. Very inconvenient, the more powerful the servitor, the longer that takes.
- A true name is their instance ID, so while you normally can't summon an already-instantiated servitor, with the true name, you actually can, because it's their instance ID.
