Caelum

Soon after defeating 69, Floppa decided that He would make a dimension of his own (just like 69 did! but…) intending to give humans the rest that they deserved upon dying.  Over time, He filled Caelum with things of interest and created many landmarks for His followers to admire. Floppa also established a hierarchy in Caelum, which we’ll focus on first.

## The Hierarchy

Floppa is the most important person in Caelum, so he has been deemed the Almighty Floppa by his followers. Directly below the Almighty Floppa are the archangels who have also been deemed the Rex Angelicae. (or Rex for short) The Rex command the rest of the angels, and they are granted the power to lead the normal angels in the case of war. The normal angels have specific roles that they fulfill unless commanded to do otherwise. Slightly above the angels would be the animals and artifacts within the Ostendo, mainly because they have intelligence and also have immeasurable value to Floppa.

## The Roles

* Gaudium

The angels assigned this role spread happiness throughout the human world. For example, if you narrowly missed falling down the stairs (I always fall down them) it’s probably because one of them decided to help you out. The Gaudium generally dress in pink or red, and the majority of them are women. (Cupid would be an exception I guess?)

* Duellum

The angels assigned this role are fighters. The Scouts make sure that Inanis isn’t launching a sneak attack (and if they do, it’s their job to relay this news to the Militants and stall the Noctis until then) and patrol the very edge of Caelum. Occasionally, a Sergeant leads a group of Militants down to earth in an attempt to find and exterminate any Noctis that they come across. The majority of the Duellum are male and dress in black. (their efforts to exterminate all Noctis are appreciated but they’re also thought of as somewhat bloodthirsty)

* Creo

The angels assigned this role are laborers. They craft the items that everyone else needs. For example, they make the weapons that the Duellum (fun fact, they mainly use spears) use and the paper for the scrolls in the Great Library of Floppa. Most of the angels with this job are male and dress in aqua or light green. (hey where’s Steve?)

* Vectio

The Vectio transport materials from the human world to Caelum. A lot of the Vectio carry scepters that have been enchanted and using these scepters they can create portals to Caelum from the human world. Of course, these scepters are only useful in the hands of angels. Having the Noctis be able to use them would be detrimental to Caelum’s health. There is an equal amount of females and males, and they dress in yellow most of the time. (I didn’t realize this was referencing Hermes until I read it over again, I guess my brain has a weird way of expressing its ideas)

## Landmarks

* The Ostendo

The Almighty Floppa, upon walking through the human world, discovered several interesting things that He enjoyed watching. As a result, He created a museum-like place filled with artifacts and (occasionally) animals. One such animal would be a pterodactyl that He created after seeing the skeleton of one (He deemed it “Big Flappy”) and it was amusing to observe due to its lovely cries and interesting way of flight. Floppa also picked up a couple of items. For example, the human tradition of Halloween was rather interesting to Him, so He picked up a (supposed) witch hat and a pumpkin and brought them to the Ostendo. (we’ll have more info on the artifacts and animals within the Ostendo later)

* The Great Library of Floppa (also known as the Magna Historia)

Inside the Great Library of Floppa, there is a large amount of information about Floppa and how the world works. It is mainly managed by a fox deemed the Lore Keeper (more on that in a different article) and occasionally Floppa comes to visit to bring more stories of his adventures so that the Lore Keeper may record them. Sometimes, the other animals come to visit as well, along with the Emperor of Rome (this will be explained so don’t worry) and some angels.

* The Floppa Altus

The Floppa Altus is a statue that the inhabitants of Caelum created soon after Floppa made Caelum. It is made out of pure gold, (only the utter best for our god =D) is a whopping 16 feet (or 487.68 cm for non-Americans) tall, and is in the image of the Almighty Floppa. What everyone can agree on is that the statue is a thank-you present for the Almighty Floppa, but some disagree about what the gift was thanking the Almighty Floppa for. For example, some believe it is because Floppa made Caelum and made life after death paradise, but others believe it’s because Floppa defeated 69 and managed to keep casualties to a minimum.

## Timeline (only includes really important events)

* Caelum created, two million yrs ago (this needs no explanation)
* Creation of the angels & archangels 1.99 million yrs ago (Floppa also needed a conversation partner)
* An archangel betrays Floppa after being tainted by the Caligo Novis, 1.26 million yrs ago (he turned into a Nocti and decided to avoid jobs with power)
* A human finds their way into Caelum and sets everything on fire by accident, 781 thousand yrs ago (everything was solved)
* The Purification, 362 thousand yrs ago (the angels launched a sneak attack on Inanis and took them by surprise. Since angels are a lot stronger than demons, wiping the majority of them out was easy.
* Floppa goes on His first visit to the human world, creates the Great Library of Floppa, and brings back a lot of stuff, two to three weeks ago (as you may imagine after seeing this timeline compared to Inanis’ timeline, Caelum wasn’t very interested in murdering each other)

## Connections to the Human World

Caelum has many connections to the human world (and by connections I mean pathways to and from the human world) which are in places that most people may or may not know. There are portals within all of Floppa’s temples so that mortals may approach the Almighty Floppa and ask for guidance, there’s a portal within the Amazon rainforest that only those who know of its location can find, there’s a portal somewhere on top of Mount Everest, (that’s why everyone tries to climb it) and there’s a portal somewhere under the Great Wall of China. These portals remain deactivated until needed, and most of the time they’re only activated in emergencies (like that one time a living human got into heaven and accidentally set fire to everything) because of their somewhat popular locations.

## The Creation of Angels

Either Floppa makes an angel himself, or a human becomes one. After arriving in Caelum, humans may notice a slight change in the air. However, their guide will tell them that the change is nothing to be worried about, and it really isn't. The air views each person's dreams and wishes from when they were alive, and transforms them into what they've always wanted to be over the course of several days. For example, if someone loved cats, they might turn into one. Of course, the transformation is entirely optional, and if they ask the Almighty Floppa then they can turn back to how they were before.
