**Shamayim**, also known as the **Abrahamic Heaven**, is the ageless, ethreal, holy realm created by the God intended to be the home-realm for both Himself and His first children.

## Summary

It serves as the dwelling place and the base of operation for the Angels, and the final resting place for worthy and righteous souls, regardless of their species and religious beliefs. Prior to their banishment, the Fallen Angels and the Archdaemon also resided here.

Angels are the protector of Shamayim and the countless souls and creatures living inside it, as well as being responsible for Shamayim's maintenance. They are bound to the realm and drawn the power of primordial light directly from there, which serves as the reason why the light constructs created by them being exceptionally more powerful than those formed by magic or divinity.

In this realm, Angels could shed their Human form and be in their true form, which is often described by many people as a "holy algamation of light, eyes, and wings". However, as this forms scare the non-celestial souls who dwell within the seven heavens, Uriel had cast an Enochian spell that made all non-celestial entities to only see the Angels in their human form.

It radiates an endless amount of divine energy, which serves as the "fuel" for the all Angels and their creations and descendants, such as the Nephilim and the deities. It is also the source of all light and holy energy, as the Holy Sacraments performed by Ultimate-ranked Exorcists directly drawn their power from Shamayim.

The Fallen Angels and Archdaemon, despite having fallen from grace and banished from Shamayim, are also capable of connecting to this infinity source of energy, though very limited and under heavy surveillance by their non-corrupted brethren. This, however, only came into existence following the peace treaty between the Three Factions in 20XX.

## Appearance

Shamayim is one of the original primordial worlds, only beneath the Ein Sof in terms of antiquity. Because of this, its true nature and appearance is beyond the comprehension of celestial and non-celestial alike, with only God, the Celestial Princes, and the Elder Seraphim being able to understand its true glory.

Gabriel, a Celestial Prince, has described it as an "ethreal, primordial world of light and divinity, having transcended beyond all describable words". However, due to an intricate thaumaturgical system created by Jophiel, those who look at Shamayim will see the realm as what they perceive as/believe to be "Heaven".

The realm is divided into seven regions, or "*Heavens*", with each heaven being their own personal realm. Each realm is connected to another by an iridescent bridge made out of Enochian rhodium and engraved with countless ancient Enochian runes and hieroglyphs, though multiple elevators have been set up to accommodate the newly-reincarnated Brave Saints. These realms are featured in Jewish texts as:

* **Vilon:** The first heaven and where the Gates of Heaven is located. It is made of water.
* **Raqia:** The second heaven and the home of the "angels all fashioned out of water and fire". It is made of white pearls and is filled with primordial darkness.
* **Maon:** The third heaven and the heaven featured in popular media, being a realm located on the white clouds. It is the second largest of all heavens, only be seconded by the personal abode of God Himself. The buildings here are made of iron, pearls, and other dazzling stones. The Heavenly Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Altar are also located here.
* **Shehaqim:** The fourth heaven and the home of the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Tree of Life. It is made of brass and white gold. Inferno, the hellish afterlife of the Abrahamic faiths, is located "on the northern side" of the Fourth Heaven, while Purgatory is located on the opposite direction.
* **Makhon:** The fifth heaven filled with research institutes. It is made of silver.
* **Zebel:** The sixth heaven and where the High-class Angels resided. The doorways to the Celestial Princes' private domains are located here. It is made of gold, decorated with garnets and rubies.
* **Araboth:** The seventh heaven and God's personal abode. It is composed of divine light incomprehensible to non-celestial entities, though Gabriel had described it as having a hall made out of the finest emeralds. The Sidrat al-Muntaha - The large and enigmatic lote tree - marks the end of the seventh heaven and the utmost extremity for all of God's creatures and heavenly knowledge.

Beneath the heavens is an endless "sea" of nothingness, the same water used by the Angels to create the Great Flood. Dwelling within the "sea" are angelic creatures in the form of oceanic monsters known as the leviathans - Powerful serpentine creatures and namesake of the Archdemon and Devil clan of the same name.

## Inhabitants

The main inhabitants of Shamayim is the Abrahamic God and His children, the Angels. The souls of the righteous, such as matyrs or Prophets, also reside here as their final destination after having life a worthy life.

Certain gods also make the place their home, mainly living in the Fourth Heaven. These gods are often either the consorts of the Angels or their offsprings with other deities. Some Nephilim who born before the Great Flood are also counted amongst the inhabitants of Shamayim.

The Archreapers also live here, having retired to the Fourth Heaven when the Reapers and the death-affliated deities were born, dwelling around the Well of All Souls and the Spring of Life where they were created.

As revealed in Chapter XXX, following the sealing of the Abrahamic Underworld, the Celestial Princes and the Elder Seraphim had constructed a personal afterlife for the damned and unworthy souls to travel to when they died, instead of sending them to the Underworld like before, as well as a Purgatory System which "recycles" sinful souls and redeems them so that they could enter the Third Heaven.

This is former home of the Fallen Angels and the Archdaemon before they were banishment because of their sin.

## Trivia

* While there are multiple Heavens depending on different mythologies, when one talks about Heaven without specifically mention which mythology it belonged to, the word "Heaven" will be automatically understood as Shamayim, or the Heaven of the Abrahamic faiths.
* Shamayim has a system to help prevent Angels from falling. When activated, it surrounds the Angel in barrier of light filled with ancient Enochian hieroglyphs.
