> *"At the Dawn of Humanity, the Prometheans were culled by the Archangels and their Divine masters. With wings of ash and cloaks of shadow they moved like a stygian tide, staining the heavens with the luminous blood of Ancients." ~ Birth of Starlight, Litharu Reliquary, 1032 A.D.*

**Archangels** are warrior kings created by Allfather Deus, they served as the generals to the heavenly armies of Throne, and were pivotal in the war against the Prometheans. They were a terrifyingly powerful race, capable of killing deities as well as Prometheans. As such, there were only 24 Archangels in existence.

Eventually, after the war with the Prometheans had ended, the most powerful of the Archangels, Charlemagne of Mourne, would assassinate Deus upon his throne and spark a bloody civil war between the inhabitants of Throne in a war of succession. God against god, brother against brother, many deities and Archangels turning on one another, taking sides and forming cabals of deities. The armies of Deus descended upon one another.

After countless eons of bloodshed, the fighting abruptly stopped. Many Deities, Archangels, Angels, Valkyries, and millions of mortal inhabitants of Throne scattered to the stars and seeded the universe. These mortals would go on to become the basis for humanity thousands of years later, their closest descendants being the common Supers of the world as we know it. The world of Throne was a desolate wasteland, ground zero of a terrible calamity and now home to dangerous creatures and errant magic.

## History

### In God's Image

Allfather Deus had begun crafting the universe in his image, but it was much work for just he and his children. So he created his perfect servants, the 24 Archangels, and the Angels that served under them. Deus devoted his time to studying the biology and genealogy of his children, developing a new breed of life in the image of him and his kin, an Archangel for each of his children. Deus would go on to create the first of the Archangels, dubbing him *Charlemange*, his greatest warrior, entirely loyal to himself.

He used these great divine beings to help him cultivate the universe, bring up countless civilizations, and to aid him and his children in governing Throne. They were the ultimate commanders of his divine army. Commanding legions of Angels, Valkyries, and mortal warriors.

When the Prometheans began their invasion, the divines struggled greatly against the sheer might of the Prometheans, and even the Deities grew weary of the eons of battle.

### The Subjugation of the Prometheans

The Archangels would be crucial in turning the tides of the war. Almost to a frightening degree, they slew with unmatched proficiency and consumed the very essence of their foes so that their gene-seed would be prevented from spreading across the cosmos. An ability unforeseen by Deus initially, yet allowed to persist for a time shortly after its discovery.

According to written records, during the turning point of history, in which Deus and his united forces began to turn the tide of the slaughter. Victories were being secured on multiple fronts, and efforts were made in preparation for both the imprisonment of the Prometheans or the genocide of their species.

The Subjugation finally ended when Allfather Deus faced Miralis in a final battle, their armies clashing in the heavens. Deus, his children, Charlemagne and his armies clashed with the primordial manifestation of chaos. Miralis' hand was cleft from her body by Deus causing her to drop the Voidscorne. An injured Charlemagne took up the blade to keep it from the mad gods grasp, aiding his father in finally banishing the creature. After a long and cataclysmic war, the Prometheans were vanquished. Or so the gods thought, as Charlamagne kept possession of the Voidscorne, his trophy of the great war, he found that the blade had begun talking to him. Infiltrating his mind, despite his divine will he was no match for the being, Miralis corrupting his mind and seeding the destruction of what remained of the gods.

## Known Archangels

* **Charlemagne of Mourne -** The first of the Archangels and the most beloved by *Deus*, *Charlemagne of Mourne* was named as the High Commander of God's Armies. Possessing combat prowess on par with that of actual Deities, Charlemagne was ruthlessly efficient throughout the countless battles in which he participated. He was the chosen Archangel of *Allfather Deus*.
* Ramiel the Judicator - The son of *Charlemagne* and the mortal priestess *Caesta Maltrivarth*, Ramiel was the angelic warrior who single-handedly killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in a single night, as told in the biblical story of II Kings 19:32. Following the death of Christ and the War in Heaven, Ramiel slept for many centuries before being awoken by an Alliance Archeology team, who while on expedition discovered the Archangel entombed within a glacier on the frozen plains of Greenland. Ramiel was successfully revived but suffered severe amnesia of his past life and was promptly indoctrinated by the Alliance into believing himself to be human, and to be pressed into the Gremorian Academy for Gifted Youths.
