The Insurgents' Banishment to the Purification

Hopefully, dear reader, you will recall that Inanis was “purified” three hundred sixty-two thousand years ago. This piece of lore shall provide a detailed timeline of the planning that lead to the Purification.

## Floppa expelled the Insurgents, 1.62 million years ago.

After the disappearance of several angels, Floppa discovered that a group of angels had chosen to plot against Him. As a result, Floppa conducted a series of investigations that resulted in the banishment of about ten percent of the angels in Caelum. Around this time, eighty percent of the Noctis residing within Inanis were given upgrades to strength, speed, and intelligence after becoming part-angel from a series of experiments that were deemed the Taboo Sequence. (in which the blood of angels was used to improve the capabilities of Noctis) Floppa shared all information about the Insurgents with His closest confidants, and the common rabble was only told that the angels that’d been banished had been working with 69 to kill off the rest of the angels. The main reason why they weren’t let in on everything is that Floppa was afraid that another group of angels would choose to revolt, possibly believing that He was a tyrant and didn’t deserve to rule. He was also concerned for the sanity of the angels that had been sent to the lab; if they were given back their memories of having their blood sucked out of them, how would they react? In addition, Floppa now had to address the problem of the Noctis who’d had their abilities enhanced. Thus, He came up with a plan - He would decimate the half-angel population in Inanis and slaughter the angels that had gone to the dark side. But first, He had to prepare for war…

## The Assistance and Internal Defense Society (AIDS) is established a decade later.

Being still somewhat paranoid after the banishment of the Insurgents, Floppa created a group of angels that were trained in identifying threats, preventing them from causing harm, and protecting any angels who might be afflicted by said threat in the case that the hazard couldn’t be stopped. The identities of the members of this association are kept a secret from the rest of the angels so that they can blend in and observe others properly. To add an extra layer of security, members of the association are not told about each other. If the leaders of AIDS need to give commands to their underlings, they can either beseech Floppa to send a message to the other members or they can send mail to the members using carrier pigeons. As of now, several dozens of threats have been identified and prevented by AIDS, and despite having a few threats that couldn’t be pacified, the damage was alleviated due to the laboring of AIDS. (Floppa probably finds this section of info to be his favorite in the entire wiki.)

## The Justification Act is established just a few months later.

Despite having installed several security measures, Floppa still wasn’t at rest. If anything, He felt somewhat worse. After Marshall and the rest of the Insurgents were cast down to Inanis to rot with the Noctis, the angels had become more and more restless as time passed. Occasionally, acts of violence were committed. One example of this would be the violent conduct that occurred after AIDS was established. Dubbed the Revolt of Insecurity, the perpetrators were angels that had become doubtful that their power was enough to overcome the Noctis, and they questioned Floppa’s power as well. Was He truly strong enough to defeat 69 should he rise again? Would He be able to provide the angels the resources they needed if they lost everything one day? These questions shook the angels’ faith in Floppa, but their belief was renewed after Floppa established this act. It allowed angels to take whatever they needed from others so long as they had a good and solid reason to take it. Moreover, if an angel believed that another angel might cause someone harm, they were allowed to restrain them.

## Floppa creates a defense system to protect Caelum after four millennia.

This probably seems rather late, but before the expulsion of the Insurgents, Floppa was the main protector of Caelum and its inhabitants. The angels hadn’t known the feeling of doubt, the hesitation that came before saying, “The almighty Floppa is invincible. He shall never fall.” However, after a large amount of the angels were exiled, the angels started to lose trust in Floppa. After all, not only had Floppa been unable to detect the evil intent of the Insurgents until Marshall started acting up, but several angels had fallen victim to the Insurgents before they were stopped. Even after the Justification Act was created, most of the angels were still shaken up by this loss of faith. Thus, Floppa sought to relieve them of some of these doubts, which brings us to the creation of Caelum’s defense system. Designed to take out foreigners, (aka humans with malicious intent/Noctis) the system - dubbed the Removal of Intruders and Liquidation of Errors System (RILES for short) - will actively seek out critical hazards and attempt to destroy them. In the (unlikely) event that RILES cannot destroy said critical hazard, it will then create a new dimension and transport the entirety of Caelum to it. All portals connected to Caelum will stop operating for two to three days and will be relocated. Any angels in the mortal world at the time will be automatically teleported to Caelum.

## Floppa makes a contract with 69 after two hundred thousand years.

Of course, this may seem like the classic “deal with the devil” situation - except 69 is at a disadvantage, and Avalon may take action if the balance between good and evil is destroyed. Thus, Floppa took away everything he could from 69 without interrupting the balance too badly, going as far as to strip 69 of some of his godly rights and claim some of them for himself. 69 would wind up giving Floppa half of his strength, speed, stamina, and magic capabilities, and he would lose his ability to enter the human world freely. On top of that, 69 was no longer able to gain power from the misery and anger of humans, which meant that 69’s power would be decreased drastically. The Noctis’ ability to possess others was stripped from them, and Floppa gave this skill to the angels instead. After all this, Floppa made it so that, whenever He wished, He could send 69 to a dimension that 69 wouldn’t be able to escape from. In exchange for all these things, Floppa would sacrifice a human every year to increase 69’s strength, (this hardly provided any strength so Floppa wasn’t worried) and 69 was allowed to strip Floppa of all of His power - but only for five seconds.

## The Age of Advancements begins seven years later.

Having their faith in Floppa renewed, some of the angels start working slightly harder. As a result, Floppa praised these angels for their work. Wanting praise as well, the other angels start putting their best efforts in. After a while, this became the new normal and the working capabilities of the angels increased. Many new inventions were created with a wide range of uses, from an angel’s daily life to protecting Caelum’s foundation. Eventually, technology had advanced far enough that angels could identify others with a single glance through a certain contraption dubbed the Oculi. This proved to be a problem for any Noctis disguising themselves as angels since the Oculi searches through the subject’s magic trace (which is the magic version of a fingerprint) and looks through the tiniest of details. (it’s rather hard to appear exactly like the person they’re disguising as) One time, an Oculus picked out a Noctis spy just because the length of their eyelashes was just two micrometers off.

## Battle training becomes mandatory for all angels four thousand years later.

The training is basic, and all angels will learn to defend and attack others. As a result of this new mandate, Floppa decided to make it so that the Duellum would receive better training. Before, the Duellum simply received basic training and only got more if they asked. Now, the Duellum are required to be able to use all weapons in Caelum’s arsenal before becoming full-authority soldiers. If they haven’t mastered all the weapons, then they aren’t trusted with missions and they’re not allowed to fight without supervision. After this law was created, many angels joined the Duellum because they’d found a new love for fighting and training that they hadn’t found before. This also caused a bit of unrest since some of the angels believed that the rule was created because Floppa wasn’t strong enough to take on Inanis all alone.

## The plan for the Purification is announced to the angels three days prior.

Announcing the plan at such a late date was intended. It guarded against traitor angels, and security went into overdrive. All angels outside Caelum were transported back, and the RILES went into lockdown mode until the Purification was over. All the souls that were supposed to enter Caelum at the time were entrusted to the Grim Reaper, who placed them inside flowers to keep them safe. However, instead of being tormented, the temporary inhabitants of the flowers would simply be left inside a bubble of peace and calm. All conscious thought processes would be stopped. After the Purification ended, the souls inside these flowers would become angels better than the rest, giving them the title of Fortior. In preparation for the Purification, the Creo started to toil somewhat harder. As more weapons were created, some Creo began to think about inventions that could make the resources they needed without having to go down to the human world to look for them.

## The day of the Purification arrives.

Floppa used his ability to seal 69 into the unescapable pocket dimension at dawn. The Duellum leaders were commanded to take down any tenth to thirteenth class Noctis, but to sneak past any Nocti that was a higher class than eight. A special squad was sent with each Sergeant, and their objective was to take down communications. Normal soldiers were supposed to take down any Noctis with white markings (these markings were a sign that the Nocti with them was half-angel) as well as shield the members of the special squads. Scouts were to keep on the lookout for any suspicious angels that seemed like they were trying to sneak away and keep an eye on the surroundings. Sergeants were to take the information their underlings gave them and use it to plan out their route through Inanis. No Noctis that were bearing white markings were to be spared. Luckily for the angels, the Noctis that ranked fourth class or higher hadn't taken any angel blood because they'd been too arrogant. Thus, the angels wouldn't have to launch a direct attack against a Nocti that they might not win regardless of how much they tried. An explosions squad was sent out soon after, and they targeted the factories that produced the most resources. Occasionally, some of the products from the factories would be stolen and used for the angels' benefit. At the end of the Purification, Floppa made sure that all the angels were back inside Caelum and then released 69. Despite being somewhat shaken from the experience, 69 laughed everything off and swore that one day, Floppa would feel the same pain...
