Second Heaven

Raqia, also known as the Second Heaven, is the second region of the Abrahamic Heaven.
==Summary==
Raqia is the second amongst the Seven Heavens, thus making it the Second Heaven. This is where the Angels gather to observe the stars and fasten the planets
This is where the Heavenly Host and the military forces of the Abrahamic Heaven are located, as its terrain is perfect to train the fledgling and newly-reincarnated Angels of their powers in direct combat. According to Ariel, due to the sheer number of glass cannons that were their main forces had led to the amount of casualty in the Great War, the Heavenly Council and the Heavenly Host had decided to train all Angels to their maximum capacities and beyond in every militaristic subjects imaginable.
It is where important Angels are imprisoned when they fall from grace, as they couldn't be banished from the Abrahamic Heaven. This is because of these Angels were formerly belonged to important positions in the Heavenly Council and possess many dangerous and important knowledge that the Abrahamic Heaven couldn't afford to have in the enemies' hands.
Due to the peace treaty between the Three Factions, many changes are being made in order to ensure the peaceful state, with one of these changes are releasing the Fallen Angels captived in Raqia.
==Appearance==
Raqia is a realm formed of primordial darkness. The entire realm is a colossal flat island floating above the primordial "sea" of nothingness where all life originated before their birth and where all life shall descend from after their death. Covering the realm is an endless dome decorated with stars, planets, constellations, nebulae, and galaxies both recognizable and non-recogizable by humans.
These celestial bodies are mainly there for decorations, as the governors of the realm could easily rearrange if they so desire. Despite this, they are as large as the regular ones in the mortal world, though there aren't any life on these bodies.
The floating island that is the only landmass in the realm is said to be extremely large, roughly estimated to be at least twelve times larger than the Earth (around 6,1212,00,000 km²). Its terrain is described as hellish in nature, with dead traps over dead traps that will make the war deities will cry out in both fear and exciment.
According to Zachariel, Raqia's terrain was specifically designed that it so that the Heavenly Host could use it as a training ground, as well as to limit the chances for the captived Fallen Angels to successfully escape.

===Heaven's Dungeon===
The Heaven's Dungeon is a special place in Raqia created to imprison rebellious Angels and Fallen Angels formerly of high status. The guards here have no free will of their own, being powerful creations of the Celestial Princes, who are ordered to torture their prisoners daily with angel blades to punish them for their crimes against the Abrahamic Heaven. 
Despite having the appearance of normal prison cells with marble walls and golden bars, the dungeons is powerful enough to contain Seraph-ranked Angels and Fallen alike. These dungeons appear to work by draining an Angel of their powers, although a few notable Angels have been known to escape from it. They are mobile and could materialize when needed, in a manner that separates its targeted prisoners. 
Once in place, few things could infiltrate the dungeons.

The Temple of Glories, also known as the Heaven's Weaponry, is a special vault located in the middle of Raqia where the Heavenly Host stores all of their weapons, armors, and miltaristic technology. Its size is said to be larger than the Earth itself and the weapons inside are the greatest of the great.
Its governor is Ariel - One of the Younger Seraphim and the Seraph of Victory. It is also the former base of the Grigori's Governor-General, Azazel.

==Inhabitants==
The only inhabitants of Raqia are the Angels and Fallen Angels, though occasionally, powerful angelic creatures will be delivered to the Second Heaven so that the newly-reincarnated Angels could practice their skills against living opponents.
However, due to the peace treaty between the Three Factions, many plans are being created to release the Fallen Angels from the dungeons.
