> There are two different types of "]Archangels]," the normal Archangels who are just better Angels, who in it of themselves are just messengers. The other kind, the kind you're probably thinking about, are considered the "True Archangels," the Angels that could rival beings like Zeus or Thor. They are the Archangels that God calls upon when he needs help.

The **True Archangels** are the highest rank of Angels who are the closest to God's magnificent light.

## Overview

> The archangels. The strongest, greatest, and most feared forces in all of Heaven. Neither demon nor angel can be equal to them. Their very arrival can cause demons and monsters to flee in terror. They would even rush bravely to the Outer Gods. Believe me, you do not want them as your enemy.

The true archangels are the chief angelic creations of God. These archangels are reputed as the strongest class of angel, being looked at as Heaven's most fearsome wrath. They were the first angels to be created by God. They were treated as god-like. They were also known as "Rav-Malakhim" or "Malakhim-Panav," who are the angels that stand before the lord himself. Archangels are one of the few bodies of angels that contact those on the material plane directly and are the ministers and messengers between God and mankind. Some of the most famous archangels include Joshua and Gabriel who both appear in the Bible, although only Joshua was named expressly as an archangel.

They were created in this explicit order: first was Joshua and Lucifer, and then Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel. The archangels acted as siblings, and distinctively interacted with themselves and their father. Many other archangels came after those five including Sabrael, Metatron, Sandalphon, Azrael, Raguel, Remiel, Anael, Camael, Jophiel, Zadkiel, Barachiel, along with many others.

The archangels are powerful, angelic beings created by God before other angels. They were imbued with immense power empowered by the holy light of God, and with god-like power and strength far surpassing that of lesser angels, demons (and possibly archdemons), and most other supernatural beings, also they were more powerful than even the chief deities of all pantheons of many pagan gods. Zariel describes them as "fierce and absolute." They appear to be the angels that one angel described as having personally seen God. According to the primordial deities the first true archangels to ever created (like Helel/Lucifer, Joshua, Gabriel) known as the primordial true archangels, are at least equal or rival some of the lesser outer gods in power, so much that they managed to battle and destroy some them along with their Arcuthas brethren, that they strike fear and light in the hearts of their enemies at the time, and even at least rivals some of the primordial deities and cosmic entities, that they we're known and feared across creation.

According to some texts, archangels are also the primary warrior race of angels and are known to be at constant war with the fallen angels. It is even suggested that Lucifer was an archangel before his fall from grace, however, he was commonly seen as a Seraphim. The most prominent archangels are Joshua, Gabriel, Raphael, Lucifer, and Uriel. These archangels were the first angels to be created in existence and thus are among the most powerful of their kind, more so than lesser archangels. After the War in Heaven, a new group was created to counter the Seven Princes of Hell, they are known as the Seven Archangels.

## History

Some point after God and the Arcuthas fought Khaos and Azathoth, and the Outer Gods and together, while they were unable to fully destroy them, they succeeded in binding them. God then imprisoned Azathoth and the Outer Gods in the "Outerverse". It had appeared that the Arcuthas were corrupted by Tathamet, so they all fell. God replaced them with the Archangels. God had then fully began Creation with Archangels and Primordials being tasked to maintain it along with him.

Later on, when God learned of the Great Old Ones, he tasked his archangels to finding and destroying these Eldritch beings. The archangels were mostly successful in destroying some of these beings, however, many of them were unable to be destroyed as they turned out to be slivers of the primordial chaos and thus are technically nothingness itself and not fully physical beings. Instead of destroying them, the archangels would simply imprison them. They would then request the deities of Pagan religions to watch over the Earth and make certain that the Old Ones would not rise while they repair the universe alongside their father.
