Garden of Eden

The Former Home of Mankind

Lilith (Formerly)

Eve (Formerly)

*"If there was one thing I liked before I became the Empress of Hell, it was the Garden of Eden. It was quite beautiful and lush. With such nice scenery, it should be peaceful and tranquil, but my lack of independence ruined it for me."*
―Lilith to Linarian on the Garden of Eden
The **Garden of Eden** is a paradise located somewhere between Heaven and Earth and the first home of mankind. It was originally intended to be the place for the Tree of Life and the home for the first humans; Adam, Lilith, and later, Eve. The garden is also the preserve of the most magnificent flora and fauna God has ever created.

After the Fall of Mankind, the garden was closed off and guarded by angels to prevent humans from entering it again. However, several humans have entered the garden in the different Multiverses, but only with the True Archangels' permission.

## Overview

The Garden of Eden was created to be a home for mankind. In it, humanity did not know sickness, fear, or death. Originally, Adam and Lilith resided there but due to her lack of independence, the latter left, so God created Eve as a replacement.

After the rebel angels were cast out of Heaven, Lucifer decided to prove that humans were unworthy of his Father's love and distracted Gadreel, the gatekeeper of Eden so that Samael and Lilith can sneak in and trick Adam and Eve into doing the one thing they were told not to do, which is to eat from the Tree of Life.

The consumption of the fruit granted Adam and Eve forbidden knowledge, causing them to question right and wrong and to feel desire. As punishment for their transgression, God ordered Camael and Jophiel to escort Adam and Eve from Eden, condemning them to live in a harsh world full of pain and hatred.

Since then, Uriel replaced Gadreel as the guardian of Eden's gates. Although humans are no longer permitted to set foot within the Garden of Eden, the primordial animals continue to leave peacefully there, untouched by the pain and hatred outside the garden's gates.

## Description

In this idyllic paradise, animals felt no need to feed on the flesh of others. Instead, they enjoy a diet of rich fruits and vegetables found only in the Garden of Eden. Any material found within the Garden of Eden is so unspoiled by sin that its mere touch can severely burn powerful beings of wickedness.

Those living in the Garden of Eden can look out beyond the gates and see the lesser and physical realm below them. Residents of the material plane can look up and see Eden as well, but barely as their fallen states are not fit to witness the heavenly realms. It is said that the more goodness a person has within them, the more clearly they can see the heavens, but no one of the world below can fully perceive the realms high above them since their physical bodies are not equipped to do so.
