35:5.1 After the [[creation]] of the personal aids and the first [[group]] of the [[versatile]] ''Melchizedeks'', the [[Creator Son]] and the local universe [[Creative Spirit]] [[planned]] for, and brought into [[existence]], the second great and [[diverse]] order of universe sonship, the [[Vorondadeks]]. They are more generally known as [[Constellation Fathers]] because a Son of this order is [[uniformly]] found at the head of each [[constellation]] [[government]] in every [[local universe]].
35:5.2 The [[number]] of [[Vorondadeks]] varies in each [[local universe]], just one million being the recorded number in [[Nebadon]]. These Sons, like their [[co-ordinates]], the [[Melchizedeks]], [[possess]] no [[power]] of [[Sexuality|reproduction]]. There [[exists]] no known method whereby they can increase their numbers.
35:5.3 In many respects these Sons are a [[self-governing]] [[body]]; as [[individuals]] and as [[groups]], even as a whole, they are largely self-determinative, much as are the [[Melchizedeks]], but [[Vorondadeks]] do not [[function]] through such a wide range of [[activities]]. They do not [[equal]] their [[Melchizedek]] [[brethren]] in [[brilliant]] [[versatility]], but they are even more [[reliable]] and [[efficient]] as rulers and farseeing [[administrators]]. Neither are they quite the [[administrative]] [[peers]] of their subordinates, the [[Lanonandek]] [[System Sovereigns]], but they excel all orders of universe sonship in [[stability]] of [[purpose]] and in [[divinity]] of [[judgment]].
35:5.4 Although the [[decisions]] and rulings of this order of Sons are always in accordance with the [[spirit]] of divine sonship and in [[harmony]] with the [[policies]] of the [[Creator Son]], they have been cited for [[error]] to the [[Creator Son]], and in details of [[technique]] their [[decisions]] have sometimes been reversed on appeal to the superior [[tribunals]] of the [[universe]]. But these Sons rarely fall into [[error]], and they have never gone into [[rebellion]]; never in all the [[history]] of [[Nebadon]] has a [[Vorondadek]] been found in [[contempt]] of the [[universe]] [[government]].
35:5.5 The [[service]] of the [[Vorondadeks]] in the [[local universes]] is extensive and varied. They serve as [[ambassadors]] to other [[universes]] and as consuls [[representing]] [[constellations]] within their [[native]] [[universe]]. Of all orders of [[local universe]] sonship they are the most often intrusted with the full [[delegation]] of [[sovereign]] [[powers]] to be exercised in [[critical]] universe situations.
35:5.6 On those worlds [[segregated]] in [[spiritual]] [[darkness]], those [[spheres]] which have, through [[rebellion]] and [[default]], suffered planetary [[isolation]], an [[observer]] [[Vorondadek]] is usually present pending the restoration of [[normal]] [[status]]. In certain [[emergencies]] this [[Most High]] [[observer]] could exercise [[absolute]] and [[arbitrary]] [[authority]] over every [[celestial]] [[being]] assigned to that [[planet]]. It is of [[record]] on [[Salvington]] that the [[Vorondadeks]] have sometimes exercised such [[authority]] as [[Most High]] regents of such [[planets]]. And this has also been true even of [[inhabited worlds]] that were untouched by [[rebellion]].
35:5.7 Often a corps of twelve or more [[Vorondadek]] Sons sits en banc as a high [[court]] of review and [[appeal]] concerning special cases involving the [[status]] of a [[planet]] or a [[the System|system]]. But their [[work]] more largely pertains to the [[legislative]] [[functions]] indigenous to the [[constellation]] [[governments]]. As a result of all these [[services]], the [[Vorondadek]] Sons have become the [[historians]] of the [[local universes]]; they are [[personally]] familiar with all the [[political]] [[struggles]] and the social upheavals of the [[inhabited worlds]].
