Book of Divine Agents

Magic

Most gods respect a covenant of a shared "book" in which the names of all their agents are listed. The gods and their agents treat other agents with a minimum of professional courtesy. All know that to insult or harm a listed agent is to offend their patron.

Generally, agents created or claimed by the gods can only survive and thrive by staying true to their duty. The book cements this relationship, too.

When a name is stricken from the book, that being is no longer protected by their patron or the covenant. A rogue agent is an embarrassment to their former patron, and often a target for their old foes or rivals. (This is what happened to Gatriel when she left Tempus' service. Had she not been claimed by Dolmodeen, she likely would have perished.)
