## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* Many, many years after the Morningstar Rebellion, Raguel Demiurgos was endowed with great tremendous power before being sent to Earth on a sacred mission in the service of the Silver City. Raguel sought to bring his Father a greater alliance than those of his older siblings. He rejected those in the area surrounding the foothold of the Presence's first Prophet. He was rejected by some that he approached, but did eventually find a goddess named Chang'e in the far eastern reaches that found the angel charming. However, this goddess had little political power among her pantheon and lacked a purview. As a result of her lack of status, Raguel was hesitant to choose her to be the mother of a Throne of Heaven, but he continually found himself leaving Heaven and pausing his search to visit her. Raguel enjoyed being with her and slowly, he began to be receptive to choosing her to bear his child.
* Spending so much time among the Shen, the collective name of the daimons of Ancient China, Raguel became involved in some matters of their court. One day, while Raguel was courting Chang'e in the yard of the Shen's palace, nine young daimons were bold enough to challenge an elder daimon for the title of god of the sun. The nine upstarts felt the elder had no right to the worship he was getting. They also expressed concerns about his politics, believing his views were outdated and holding the pantheon back.
* When the daimons became violent, Raguel stepped in. The nine warned him that this was none of his concern as an outsider. Raguel disagreed, saying that his family had created the sun they were arguing over and among any of those present, Raguel felt he had more right to say who should receive worship on the star's behalf. The nine felt Raguel, as an outsider, was overstepping and they decided to handle his punishment personally.
* The nine daimons drew their swords and attacked. Raguel defended himself as best he could, but as an outsider he was not allowed to carry a weapon in Tiān, the palace of the Shen. So Raguel evaded the swings of the weapons as best he could. As a cosmic being renowned for his violence, Raguel knew how to avoid injury to his person — even against nine eldritch enemies — but as the assault continued, Raguel took a few hits. Each strike slowed him down and he knew it was a matter of time before he was overwhelmed.
* Chang'e came to Raguel's aid when she realized her lover was slowing down. Knowing that no outsider was allowed to touch forged weapons in Tiān, Chang'e went to the armory and grabbed a bow and quiver. She then climbed to a balcony overlooking the yard and called out to Raguel. The archangel saw the weapons in her hand and immediately let a smile cross his lips. With a thrust of wind that knocked the nine daimons on their backsides, Raguel's wings unfurled as the angel blasted into the air.
* Ascending to the balcony, Raguel retrieved the bow and arrows. Before the nine could get back to their feet, the archangel had fell two of them with masterful shots. Three more were downed before they could flee to cover. The last four were dispatched while they hid behind cover, with the archangel demonstrating his supernal-charged trickshots.
* When the commotion was settled, Raguel lowered himself to the balcony and gave Chang'e a passionate kiss. Applause broke out among the Shen and the two were overwhelmed with grateful daimons showering them in praises. The nine dead daimons had few friends among the Shen, having been disruptive since their arrival at court. The appreciative Shen decided to give Raguel an honored title and made him a recognized guardian of their court.
* As a result of this, Raguel was allowed to express his opinion at official gatherings at the court. With his position, he was able to secure Chang'e purviews of worship, including that of the Moon and the season of autumn. Raguel was so highly regarded, ever as an outsider, that he and Chang'e were allowed to marry.

### Notes

* Chang'e is the Chinese goddess of the Moon.
