Although the number of the Nine Pillar Gods and Celestial Marshals is limited, there is no shortage of Angel Envoys.
The Nine Pillars Divine Church allows worship of all current Nine Pillar Gods and their corresponding Angel Envoys, and does not restrict the worship of Celestial Marshals and their Angel Envoys. Only formal worship activities towards Celestial Marshals and their Angel Envoys or outright sacrifices, like those of the Dwarves, are considered illegal.
