So they take 1d6 soul hits per round per Force of the Tether, owing to the Light of Heaven (Liber Castellorum, p51) and are rapidly destroyed.
I've never been a fond of the "Light of Heaven" rule. If heaven is inimical to demons, why kick them out at the end of the war? Why not keep them there?

Sure, Uriel could have created the Light after The Fall - but I prefer the more prosaic answer of "there are Malakim posted at the top of each (known) Tether and they come down and beat the snot out of any demon caught there."

also lights more focused in Tethers... it says so explicitly meaning the average tether is more inicable to demons, then heaven itself!

Correct. The idea is that the Tether acts as a lens, making the Light more focused and less diffused, like a magnifying glass focusing the sun's rays.

I'd vote for Factions, myself...any movement describing itself as a "holy war" is extremely divisive.
