*"They are to be feared and respected for they are the guardians of Athrunial and the Supreme Being's angels of death....it would be wise to remember that If you ever meet one or especially my lady, Lendira."*

-Bryrja, Valkyrie Champion of Saint Tryanna speaking to the Nameless Champion of Saint Tryanna

The Aeadra are humanoid beings of great power whom were created by the Supreme Being, Necris to watch over Athrunial and the mortal races that inhabit it. Due to the nature of the Aeadra, they are widely worshiped as Divine Beings by mortals due to being the Supreme Being's Angels of Death and being the manifestations of the holy light itself. Although Aeadra are considered immortal and incorruptible, this is far from the truth as most Aeadra are susceptible to human emotions such as love and sorrow and can be corrupted by such emotions or by the touch of darkness, turning an Aeadra into a Deadra.

## Biology and appearance

### **Physiology**

With the exception of the Archangels and a few other exceptions amongst their race, the Aeadra were the first amongst amongst the other races of Athrunial to be warmblooded humanoids in appearance, being bipedal and being bilateral. The Aeadra is comprised entirely with a head with two eyes, two ears which can be human or elf in appearance and a mouth, a neck, torso, two legs with two feet and two arms with five fingered hands. The most out worldly feature of an Aeadra was of course, their white angelic wings which sprouted from their backs, allowing near limitless flight. Most wings were snow white in appearance with the average wingspan being five to ten feel in length and three to five feet in height.

Due to the fact the Aeadra are immortal in the sense they cannot die from old age, disease or starvation, they do not require substance or liquid to keep themselves alive however they are still capable of ingesting substance and liquid and no particular preference in any type of substance, making them omnivores,

### **Diversity**

Humanoid in appearance, Aeadra are remarkably similar to Humans and Elves however with many mortal races, no Aeadra under most circumstances looked identical such as height where an Aeadra could be merely five fee tall all the way to being nearly ten feet tall and are commonly slim. Unlike humans and elves however though,.Aeadra under most circumstances have always had blond hair on their head and facial hair however these styles can vary from simple to elaborate. Aeadra can be born with other hair colors due to exterior factors however this is rare. In addition of their hair, an Aeadra's eye color can vary from almost any color of the rainbow. Lastly an Aeadra's skin tone was usually always pale in appearance with some being slightly more tanned or slightly darker, making a light brown color.

### **Life cycle and reproduction**

Despite the fact Aeadra were being Pseudo Divine Being's created by Necris himself, Aeadra are still beings that reproduce sexually through sexual intercourse with a female and male of their race. Due to the Aeadra's duties that require them to be in the worst of situations on Athrunial, every Aeadra,especially female's, has an incredibly powerful seal over their reproduction organs, preventing them from being sexually tortured and raped to ensure their Chasity stays intact. Whenever an entity or a person tries to penetrate seal, the seal will react violently, causing high amounts of holy damage upon the user. The seal is so durable, that most mortals could never break the seal, even Greater Demons and Dark Lords have a hard time breaking it which requires intense effort and time. Unlike mortals however, the mating between two Aeadra is a slow and careful process with no emotions attached in the process so there is no chance of corruption between the two. When the mating process is completed, an Aeadra female will stay in the gestation period anywhere from a hundred years due to the weakest of Aeadra reproducing to nearly a thousand years If the Aeadra parents were powerful. Once the mother gives birth to her child or a number of children, her child or children will go through the multiple stages of an Aeadra's life cycle just as their parents.

* The first, the **"Chibi"** stage begins when the child is born, a Chibi Aeadra will spend anywhere from a hundred to three hundred years before maturing into the next stage. During the Chibi Stage, the young Aeadra has the mindset of a infant always up to a small child, having a simple mindset, only wanting to be closer to his/her mother and playing
* Next is the **"Virtue"** stage which starts when child reaches puberty,becoming an adult. This is the time where an Aeadra's power begins to manifest and their wings begins to grow. This is also the only time when an Aeadra will feel emotions the same way a mortal would since they do not know how to suppress their emotions, as a result, Aeadra in this stage are easily corruptible and can be influenced easily. The Virtue Stage is often the shortest stages of an Aeadra's life cycle since they are taught much in this stage. The Virtue Stage often only last fifty to one hundred years.
* When an Aeadra finally becomes a young adult, they enter the **"Cheribum"** stage. In this stage, they are able to suppress their emotions and are now capable of entering a path or be trained for a specific position. It is also the time an Aeadra fully develops and is legally able to reproduce. Aeadra during this time are known by their drive to experience the world despite still being native about that very world and are anxious, wishing to begin their duty and be accepted.
* The **"Dominions"** Stage often begins when an Aeadra reaches the age of five hundred to a thousand where they fully mature and settle into their role without question. Most Aeadra fit under this category, being middle aged Aeadra, they are experienced in their role and often do their duty without complain or issue, this is also the time when two Aeadra are preferred to meet and mate so they have powerful children in the aftermath.
* The **"Throne"** Stage also known as the **'Asura"** stage begins once a Aeadra reaches the age of three thousand or higher. The Aeadra who live to be this long are often the most powerful and wise of their race, being part of the Asura Cast, these Aeadra make the decisions for the entire race. It should be noted due to the events in Athrunial, very few, almost no real Aeadra worthy of this stage lives to be this long.

Although a extremely rare in the current setting, it should be noted that an Aeadra and a mortal such as a human can reproduce and bare children however under normal circumstances, this is heavily frowned upon due to a factor. An Aeadra that mates in the mortal realm with a mortal is extremely susceptible to corruption, turning into a Deadra. It is possible for a human or any mortal to receive the blessing to mate and marry an Aeadra from the Asura Caste Council however the mortal is forever bounded to that Aeadra whom is still honour bound to perform their duty above all and whatever offspring they conceive, must be raised in Aelthuan.

When a mortal of great power and/or wisdom die's on Athrunial and has a pure and righteous heart, such mortals are given the opportunity to be reforged, to be reborn into an Aeadra, both in mind and body. Those who choose to become Aeadra will be reborn as a Chibi however unlike a natural Chibi whom is born from Aeadria parents, a mortal Chibi will retain their personality, their abilities and powers and their memories of their previous life. After such mortals are reforged, they will heavily monitored and trained just like any other young Aeadra. Aeadra whom were originally mortals will continue the same life cycle as a natural Aeadra, going through the Aeadrain Chibi stage all the way up to the Throne stage. Of course this decision is purely optional, those wishing to enter the after life to finally rest may do so.

## Personality and Traits

Designed and created by Necris himself, under most circumstances, Aeadra are extremely abstemious under most circumstances, they do not feel or even have the same amount of emotions mortals have since Necris had created them to be the watchers and guardians of the mortals of the mortal plane however this isn't completely true. In the most dire or very emotional situations, an Aeadra can whether willing or not, can open their minds to such emotions and a result of having a far superior mental state than mortals, are able to feel all emotions much more strongly such as love, sorrow and rage which can easily corrupt an Aeadra into a Deadra.

While all Aeadra have their own personality traits, They are all known to perfect, benevolent and have the purest intentions in whatever action they do, They know no fear or despair on the fields of battle and will fight with determination in whatever they fight for, even to the point of stubbornness. Most Aeadra warriors, especially the Serra Aeadra and Valkyrie Aeadra are known for being honorable yet sacrificial in nature, willing to goto the highest of feats to complete their holy duty, even at the risk of their own life.

## Powers and abilities

 It is common knowledge Aeadra are the most naturally gifted and powerful race on Athrunial, being immortal, they cannot die of age, from disease or starvation of substance and liquid, they are only capable of dying by having their body destroyed such as in battle or is disintegrated. Aeadra command super strength akin to a god by mortal standards, An Aeadra is capable of picking up thousands of pounds their own weight and propelling it any direction with ease. Combined with super strength, Aeadra are known for their demi god like bodies, able to sustain countless mortal wounds that would kill lesser beings almost instantly yet continue to fight as If they never received any wounds in the first place Along with being to resistant mortal wounds and pain, Aeadra have limited regeneration abilities, able to slowly heal their bodies of any mortal wound If given enough time and support however they cannot regenerate in battle nor can they regenerate their head or any limbs that have been completely severed from the body. When an Aeadra goes through the process of healing their bodies through regeneration, the Aeadra will enter a self-induced coma while their body begins to heal, depending on the wounds/wounds and the severity of the wounds, the Aeadra could be in their self-induced coma for a half a day to a few weeks.

With their superior bodies, Aeadra have a far superior neurological system and mental capacity within their bodies and minds, granting extremely heightened reaction time, agility and information processing, making them incredibly graceful and blinding face to even the most powerful of mortals. Along with a powerful mind and body, an Aeadra's body also has two wings on their back, granting them near unlimited flight as if It was an extension of their body, allowing them to easily traverse the mortal plane with great speed.

Lastly, being able to live for hundreds, If not potentially thousands of years, Aeadra are without a doubt the most skilled users in martial arts and in the use of magic, able to easily beat the best of masters in the usage of martial arts and magic. Naturally by Birth, Aeadra have a natural affinity for Yang Magic or better known as light and white magic are easily the most skilled users on Athrunial with Yang magic, able to cause a tremendous amount of holy damage upon their enemies or heal those wounded easily. Of course being so closely affiliated with Yan magic, Aeadra are extremely vulnerable to Yin magic, better known as dark magic to the point an Aeadra can be killed with ease with powerful Yin magic. Aeadra, thanks to Lendira now also have a strong affinity for sealing magic, easily capable of sealing entities within something as well as sealing and opening portals to other dimensions.

### **Awakening**

The **"Awakening"** is a term for an extremely rare yet extraordinary ability that is said only one Aeadra out of a thousand has the potential to unlock the **"Awakening" ,** while at the same time, the **"Awakening"** will only manifest amongst the most powerful and ancient Aeadra. An Aeadra will only manifest the ability to use their **"Awakening"** ability when they are near death and experiences extreme and dire situations or recalling extreme trauma. While it is common knowledge the Aeadra able to suppress their emotions with ease to the point they appear to have none and do not allow it to effect their judgement, at the same time, when an Aeadra does allow their emotions free, they can feel and understand one's emotions and thoughts far more deeply than any mortal could hope to understand. When an Aeadra loses their ideals, fail in their duty somehow or lose the object of their affection, The Aeadra's love for their duty, ideals of their love is instantly turned into pure yet surprisingly controlled rage, pushing them to the limit to do anything required to achieve their goals or objectives even at the risks of their own life. The Very rage that consumes the Aeadra causes the release of an incredibly strong yet unique energy that is infused with Yang and Nature type energy throughout their body. Immediately a golden flame of fire will erupt over their body like an aura. While in the **"Awakening"** state, the Aeadra will enter a state of extremely enhanced awareness, increasing their strength, reflexes and mental capacity three fold. With such incredible perception, an Aeadra over a short period of time anticipate an opponent's movements and attack patterns through muscle tension and watching alone, allowing them to dodge or counter react with ease. Of course with their perceptive eye's as well, they can also immediately read how an enemy performs an ability or attack regardless how quickly it was performed by the enemy and grant them insight of the ability or attack's nature piece by piece. With enough training and activating their **"Awakening"** state, an Aeadra with their eye's can learn to copy any physical or magical attack with perfect accuracy and use it against their enemy however even with such abilities, The Aeadra must know how to perform the basic's of the attack or ability for them to use it. For an example, an Aeadra would only be able to copy and cast the same fire spell their enemy performed If they knew the basic's of fire magic and could use fire magic already.

The **"Awakening"** ability cannot under normal circumstances be used normally and willing by it's user, it can only be activated when the user has subconsciously allowed their emotions free within their mind, is near death and is in a dire situation or has witnessed a traumatizing event. Unlike all other transformation, the **"Awakening"**  state does not drain's the user's life force, energy or stamina, rather the state deactivates as soon as the user has calmed down, their life is no longer in danger or the dire situation has ended in their favorable outcome. It is possible through intensive and extremely dangerous training and entering the state nearly hundreds of times over for extended periods of time to be able to willingly enter the state whenever the user wishes however this is virtually unheard of. New users of the **"Awakening"** state often take the appearance of a raging Serra Angel consumed by fire while veteran users of the state can suppress the flame aura, able to appear as If they are not in the form besides besides their eye's where their pupils shrink and their Iris grow.

## Society and culture

###

An Aeadra's way of life within Aelthuan is quite simple to understand. Due to their heritage and duty given to them by Necris, the Aeadra proudly consider themselves Athrunial's watchers and guardians as well considering themselves the finest warriors and magic users on Athrunial. Being essentially angels, the Aeadra possess a nature to be noble, angelic warriors that hold honour,bravery, virtue, justice and liberty for all in name of protecting all those on Athrunial from all threats. The Aeadra are highly renowned for their nature and individual battle-prowess and martial pride as they constantly push themselves so that in the future, they can one day be as powerful as an Archangel and be able to save the world from their demonic brethren, the Deadra. Honor and Virtue was so important to an Aeadra, one, even another Aeadra could damage one's honor, resulting in Intensive honor duels which was commonplace when not on the battlefield as they often occurred for honour sake's or settle differences. Aeadra also take pride and seriousness in their oaths and rituals, making it a high priority, to make sure the deed was completed no matter the issue or odds, even at the risk of their own lives. It is common to see Aeadra kneel or preying before battle, taking on oaths to further their goals or objectives in battle and will go to any length to complete it. Aeadra are born to believe that while they are indeed immortal compared to mortals, they are taught by their elders that one day far in the future, they will eventually find their end on the battlefield while performing their duties. Great important is made on a person's inevitable death however death is not seen in a negative light, instead their soul is liberated from any measure of doubt or emotion and finally free, able to rest amongst the Heroes of Old.

When off the battlefield whether in Aelthuan or somewhere in the mortal plane, it is common place for many Aeadra to take the role of a monk or a nun, alone, performing rituals and paying respects to their ancestors and others worthy of veneration as well as helping those in need. For the younger Aeadra, most will attend to their children and continue to raise them while others train and meditate. Although rare by a Aeadra's way of life, one or a few travel and spend time with their partner, whether Aeadra or mortal however this is usually fawned upon since this could easily lead to corruption.

For their actual society, the Aeadra live in a Feudalism Cast like system

* At the top is the **"Asura"** Cast also originally known as the **"Arch"** Cast, This cast contains the most ancient and most powerful of Aeadra within Aelthuan. Within the **"Asura"** Cast is the Council of Archangels, the ruling governing body of all Aeadra led by the Arch Seraph Lendira whom guide the other casts towards how to best watch over the mortal realm and how to protect as well as enlighten mortals those who have lost their way. Those within the Council of Archangels serve as the undisputed rulers of the Aeadra are met by complete obedience by the Aeadra.
* Below is the **"Throne"** Cast whom contains the vast majority of Aeadra whom had lived hundreds of years and have actively performed their duties without hesitation.
* The **"Dominions"** Cast is held by the young and inexperienced Aeadra or those older in age whom have taken a non combative role in the protection of Athrunial.
* The **"Chibi"** Cast refers to those mortals with a pure heart with no hidden darkness whom had died on Athrunial but were granted access to Aelthuan. Mortals whom are granted to become normal Aeadra become Chibi angels, small and weak Aeadra whom are tasked with supportive roles such as messengers and aid those in maintaining their armor. Those whom were mortals with great power may be granted to be become a true Aeadra.

## Sub-races

### **Archangels**

The Archangels were the first Aeadra ever to exist, created directly by Necris after he had created Athrunial and all life on it's surface. Originally these twenty massive and mighty Aeadra were created with the sole intention initially to lead the Aeadra and guide and protect the mortals of Athrunial. They were all designed by Necris to be far superior to their normal Aeadra counterparts, to be far stronger,faster, intelligent as well as be incredibly charismatic since they were tasked to be Generals and Leaders amongst the Aeadra. Despite what is known about them, it is speculated Necris had originally had other plans for his Archangels when he recovered from his coma like slumber.

In the current setting, majority of the Archangels have died thousands of years ago due to the Archangel, Amriel causing The War of the Heavens, a massive civil war that had split the Archangels numbers in half, with half staying loyal while the other half became corrupted willing or otherwise and joined Amriel in her crusade.

### **Seraph**

Seraph's in the current setting are amongst the most powerful yet rarest of Aeadra on Athrunial. They are the leaders of Aelthuan, going to great lengths to protect Athrunial and the Mortal Realm. Even when a Seraph is not preparing the defenses of Athrunial, they are known for teaching the generations of Aeadra that came after them the mistakes of the Archangels and to make sure they don't follow the same path. there are two types of Seraph Angels, the Seraph themselves are the masters of magic and wisdom while those who are master's of war are Serra Angels. Of all the Seraph Angels, Lendira remains the strongest Aeadra in existence since she is the only Aeadra to remain from the War in the Heavens.

### **Azrael**

The term "Azrael" refers to a angel or a number of angels in the oldest of Aeadrain texts that speaks of some prophecy but is poorly understood to the point even the Aeadra themselves know nothing of the Azrael.

### **Onoir**

*"I got it from here old wise one....now go, I will do what is required of me!"*

-Atua Ortal to Onoir Nuhni during the Dark Ages

Originally Atua whom had completed their duties as Atua and fulfilled their Destiny, hese Atua have given up their duties as Heroes and have willingly morphed into a Onoir, an elderly warrior whom has dedicated the rest of their life to the training of future Atua and to guide them the correct path when needed. Although Onoir still wield the same power they did as an Atua as well as their mask, Onoir are incredibly pacifist, preferring for the younger Atua to do what needs to be done. Feeling that they have already fulfilled their destiny, most Onoir would rather die and receive their permanent peace upon death than fight for some new destiny. As a result, a Onoir will almost never fight other than by the exception of defending themselves when need be although there is little that can truly threatened an Onoir's life. Compared to an Atua's life, the life of a Onoir is simple. In their daily lifes, Onoir live simply as monks, shamans and priests and often live somewhere within the Kohtalo mountains although it isn't uncommon for a few Onoir to become nomadic, preferring to stay on the move. Most Onoir that are nomadic were often originally Atua whom had a special destiny or went through a traumatizing even in their early life such as losing their siblings to a threat or from a betrayal.

### **Atua**

*"THIS MAY BE THE END! BUT IT ALL ENDS HERE RAEDFIEND! ONE THOUSAND YEARS!...ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF DARKNESS!.......ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF VIOLENCE AND BLOODSHED! IT ALL ENDS HERE!"*

-Atua Lerkan's final words before sacrificing himself to slay his former Atua Brother turned Dark Lord, Raedfiend during the final battle of the Dark Ages

Originally a group of Aeadra like beings that appeared sometime before the War in the Heavens on Athrunial when the Great Henki Stone crashed at the center of the Kohtalo mountain range south of Thrymir and north of Chou. The Atua commonly refereed to as Athrunial's **"Guardian Gods"** by mortals, are a small group of honorable, highly powerful yet strange looking humanoid Aeadra Heroes whom wear great masks of power that granted the wielder complete mastery of two magic's, the first usually being a elemental magic and the second, often a magical ability. Unlike other Aeadra whom exist and live in Aelthuan, due to unknown reasons , the Atua, while wearing their great masks of powers are bound to Athrunial as they complete their destinies as Heroes. What this destiny is for each Atua is unknown however to every Atua, it is the utmost Important for them to complete their duties as an Atua and fulfill whatever Destiny they were given. Much like the Thrones, Atua, are far more human than most other Aeadra and could be side tracked or lose their purpose, as such it could also be said every Atua were not predestined to full a certain destiny and could easily fail completely in whatever they believed what was their destiny. Of course every Atua has their own destiny however it depended entirely on them whether they wanted to attempt to fulfill it or not. Those Atua that do complete their duty and fulfil their Destiny's are given two choice, either become an Onoir permanently, an elder to train and help guide the next generations of the Atua or return to the Great Henki Stone and surrender their power where their power is used to create an entirely new Great Nui Mask for a new Atua while granting the old Atua the peace they deserve, allowing them to enter Aelthuan, often morphing them into Celestant Virtues.

Unlike other subspecies of Aeadra with the exceptions of the first Atua and a few others, the vast majority of the Atua were originally mortals whom were chosen by the Great Henki Stone and were granted their own Great Nui Mask, transforming the mortal into an Atua once they donned the mask, transforming their life forever. Although most Atua were gifted with their own unique mask by the Great Henki Stone, those whom were destined to become Atua could don the mask of other Atua, usually during critical situations. Besides one's duty as an Atua and the Destiny they were supposed to complete, an Atua's mask is by far the most possession they could own for If they lose their mask, the Atua will become weaken and eventually die. Some Atua however whom are born with special destinies like the original Atua, can be born as an Aeadra Atua although this is rare. Much like Humans as well as other mortal races on Athrunial, no Atua usually looked alike although there was exceptions. when a mortal was transformed into an Atua, the new Atua would take on the appearance on what they envisioned what an Atua would look like

### **Vilja**

The first Thrones to have ever existed, the Vilja were created by Ragnarok to be his bodyguards and advisers as well as function as warrior generals to the lesser Thrones that would come after them. They were vastly superiors to lesser Thrones in all ways and were all created with a specific purpose in mind. Ragnarok also had a very deep connection or bond with the Vilja to the point he considered the Vilja his own children and in return, they consider him their Father. The only exception to this was Adriel whom was believed to had some sort of romantic relationship before she was killed. In the current setting, majority of the Vilja had either been killed during the Battle of Ucidere during the War in the Heavens or had sacrificed their remaining energy to empower the Arkis Dagger.

### **Throne**

Known as the **"Steadfast Warriors of Aelthuan"**, the Thrones are warriors that follow in the footsteps of their creator and founder, Ragnarok whom tasked them and their ancestors, the Vilja to watch over and protect Humanity at all cost. Known for their dedication to their duty as well as their stubbornness even for an Aeadra, a Throne, once summoned on Athrunial, will do everything in their power to bring peace and justice to the unworthy even at the risk of their own life. Due to this, Thrones have gained the reputation by mortals as being Aeadra of War although to a Throne, this is the farest from the truth. It is said out of all the Aeadra of Aelthuan, it is the Thrones that understands the emotions and dreams of the mortals of Athrunial for a Throne's love and dedication as well as their desire to understand those in pain is greater than other Aeadra could possible hope to understand. It is because of these emotions do the Thrones take their duties as Warriors and Judges so seriously since it is them whom wishes the mortals for a better place.

### **Sinned**

The most mysterious Aeadra of unknown origins, wearing pitch black armor with helmets that hide their faces, they are Aeadra who seemingly appear out of nowhere at the last moment when a force, pure of heart is about to be overrun. They are similar to Valkyrie's, going where the fighting is thickest, hoping to die one day in battle in the hopes for whatever sinful deed they had performed, they will regain their honour and be redeemed upon death.

### **Domininons**

A rare breed of Aeadra, often believed to the be the Aeadra of the Archangel, Milroas, Domininons are high ranking Aeadra that specialize in Magic, so much so they are considered the Magisters of Aelthuan, the most skilled Aeadra in the usage of magic. Led by the Head Domininon, the Domininons have taken up the duty of protecting and archiving all Knowledge within the Great White Tower of Kisitus and other locations of knowledge as well as safeguarding the most dangerous magic from even being wielded again. As a result, Domininons are rare in the mortal realm and rarely can be summoned but when they are, it is said they are consumed by this hatred and will attack all whom summoned them without permission.

### **Valkyrie**

The Valkyrie's are angelic female warriors of light whom traverse the infinite battlefields of Athrunial on the orders of Lendira whom go where ever they needed to help and defend those in need. They are amongst the most well known Aeadra, being incredibly beautiful humanoid women with angel like wings. The origins of the Valkyrie are unknown however is it believed the original Valkyrie's were originally created by Rimiya, the Archangel of Vengeance until they all but one was were destroyed during the War of the Heavens. Lendira was the only Valkyrie survivor of the War of the Heavens. Following the War of the Heavens and after Lendira ascended into the first Seraph, she used her newfound power to create the first generation of Valkyrie warriors. In the current setting, all Valkyrie Warriors are Lendira's personal servants and Champions, sending them out to do her original duty when she was an Valkyrie. Valkyrie's are very common in Laetannia, protecting Grail Cathedrals so fallen Grail Knights can rest in peace and traveling with Grail Knights as companions when they journey the lands to defeat Deadra and any evil.

### **Principalities**

Common Aeadra that aid the Asura cast in running Aelthuan, they are considered the many Aeadra that help keep Aelthuan together and keep the peace through civil ways such as overseeing and managing temples, cities and fortresses, acting as recorders and keepers of records, working and giving orders to working Chibi, they are in charge of the more mundane duties of the Aeadra but nevertheless, their duties are just as important as the Sereph's own duty over watching Athrunial directly. With the exception of the Chibi, the Principalities are amongst the most weakest of Aeadra due to the fact their roles are not combat oriented however that does not mean they cannot aid their warrior siblings in battle, they are still proficient in melee combat and through the usage of magic. Being low on the sphere of power, the Principalities are low level summons, making them the easiest Aeadra to summon and therefor, the most commonly summoned Aeadra by mortals on Athrunial.

### **Celestant Virtue**

Said to be created by Celestine herself, Celestant Virtues are considered to be the greatest of all Virtues, to be the greatest heroes to have ever existed. They are considered heroes of legend by mortals and are said to sway entire battleground by themselves. Celestant Virtues have no known set power level compared to other Aeadra, instead they are similar to Grey Deadra where every Celestant Virtue's power level is different than the other, even other Aeadra with the possibility of Celestant Virtues even having the potential to match a Sereph in power eventually. Celestant Virtues are not created however, every Celestant Virtues begins as a Virtue and so when a Virtue proves themselves worthy and grows in strength, it is said Celestine herself will bless the Virtue with a portion of her own strength, increasing their power greatly, unfortunately with Celestine's disappearance, A Virtue will never rise to become a Celestant until she is located and found..

### **Virtue**

Clad head to toe in golden plate armor, the Virtues were originally mortals whom were true heroes in life whom were allowed to become eternal Heroes in death, allowing them to continue their duty as Heroes as a lesser Aeadra. Virtues retain their base appearance and all their martial and magical abilities in death, including transformations and any other ability that aided them in battle, as well as their personality and any personal belong they held onto before they died.

### **Chibi**

Refers to those mortals with a pure heart with no hidden darkness whom had died on Athrunial but were granted access to Aelthuan. Mortals whom are granted to become normal Aeadra become Chibi angels, small and weak Aeadra whom are blessed with eternal peace and love. Chibi whom were honorable and had exceptionally good hearts, could be potentially honored with tasked with supportive roles such as messengers and aid Aeadra in different manners such as maintaining their armor or aid them in their research.

## Spheres of Power

The class and power of all Aeadra are ranked accordingly to the spheres of power with the most powerful always at the top with those beyond in power following accordingly to their power.

 The Seraphs/Seraphim

The First Sphere is comprised entirely of the most powerful Aeadra that have ever existed on Athrunial with the vast majority of them being unique compared to the other classes of Aeadra whom could be said to be "mass produced". Under normal circumstances, Aeadra of the First Sphere cannot be summoned as their power by far, reaches into the power of true gods. Seraphs can be summoned however due to the vast amount of power they control, they can only be summoned for a short period of time unless they can be supplied with a large, constant amount of energy.

 The Vilja
 The Domininons

The Second Sphere is comprised entirely of Aeadra that have been given specialized yet important duties that help maintain Aelthuan and Athrunial as a whole through some means. They are similar to the First Sphere as they are for the most part, highly powerful unique Aeadra that cannot be "mass produced".

 The Sinned
 The Valkyrie's
 The Thrones
 The Virtues

The Third Sphere is comprised entirely of the Aeadra whom have sworn themselves to the protection of Aelthuan and Athrunial through the art of war and meeting the enemies of Aelthuan and Athrunial on the fields of battle. Due to this, the Third Sphere is by far, the most commonly known Sphere amongst mortals whom tend to think the Third Sphere represents the Aeadra as a whole.

The Fourth Sphere belongs to the mortals whom held a pure heart in life and were rewarded with eternal peace, allowing their soul to goto Aelthuan, which to a mortal, functions as a Heaven of sorts. When such a mortal is granted entry to Aelthua, they become a Chibi. Exceptional Mortals whom became Chibi may be granted basic yet sacred duties that will aid the Aeadra of Aelthuan. The other are the Principalities which led the Chibi and perform the more mundane duties that is required in Aelthuan.

## Relics

**The Holy Grail -**Without a doubt, considered one of the most powerful relics on Athrunial, the Holy Grail is a legendary artifact considered purely myth than fact by most mortals but to the Laetannian's, they know otherwise. It is said when a Questing Knight of Laetannia proves himself worthy of becoming one of Lendira's champions, a Grail Knight, the Questing Knight will be presented with the Holy Grail by Lendira herself. Once this Questing Knight drinks from the Holy Grail, they will be forever changed by it's power as they become a champion of the Light.

**The Arkis Dagger -** Considered purely myth by even the Aeadra, It is said it was created by the Archangel, Argastes and was empowered with the life energy of the Archangel, Ragnarok and his Vilja. It is said that the Arkis Dagger has the power to instantly kill any Dark Being of any tier of power and even the ability to bring the dead back to life as well as purify any those compromised by the Darkness. During the later portions of the War in the Heavens, it was said that after Ragnarok died empowering the Arkis Dagger, his surviving Vilja somehow broke the dagger in three pieces and hid it amongst Athrunial in the hopes no one would ever use it for any I'll intentions.

**Artois -** A golden spear created and imbued with the light by Argastes, Artois was capable of piercing any armor and purifying any being except those whom were Dark Lords. It was originally created for Auctora whom used it for much of his life until after his battle with the Dark Lord, Malal. After he recovered physically and mentally from his wounds and took Arkam as his apprentice, he gifted the spear to Arkam for him to use when he deemed his was apprentice worthy of using the spear

**Eai, The Sword of Destruction -** A unholy weapon of the highest tier by the Aeadra, Ea is a mysterious weapon that has entirely been consumed by the Darkness and Light. Said to be powerful to destroy entire continents with one fell strike yet due to the weapon being bounded to Ira, it's power is horribly diminished by others that try to wield it to the extent it loses nearly almost all it's power however even in this state, this weapon is still stronger and thicker than most mortal weapons. In the hands of Ira, Eai is said to be able to transform's it's essence into whatever weapon she wishes for, including any weapon that no longer exists or weapons she has never seen although after taking the form of such a power, it's power it will not equivalent to the original weapon it has taken the form of. In the legends of old, it was said Eai was the first weapon ever created with some even saying it was created by Necris, explaining why Eai can transform into any weapon. With extension of that particular legend, many theorize it was originally created by Necris for Rimiya however when she deemed it too unholy to wield, Necris than created Rosenedge instead for her to use but why he didn't destroy Eai afterwards is unknown.

**Rosenedge -** Created by Necris, Rosenedge was the primary weapon of the Archangel, Rimiya since her conception. Created out of Elder Dragon plates and infused with nature energy, Rosenedge was a soberly crafted weapon of unparalleled beauty with a power to match. Rosenedge had two abilities, the first was it's ability to change forms between a Great Sword and a Great Lance and it's second ability revealed was it's limitless capacity to hold any type of energy. By merging her own power with the weapon itself, Rimiya could easily increase Rosenedge's power tenfold at the expense of her own power and eventually her own life force as well, potentially granting Rosenedge unlimited power or a power so high, it can't be comprehended other than beings of similar power. Rosenedge was used extensively by Rimiya during the War in the Heavens and was the bane of many Dark Lords however towards the final stages of the war, Rosenedge was damaged near beyond repair when Rimiya was forced to fight a Deadra force that easily eclipsed her forces by a hundred fold. Having been separated from her force, she was forced to raise Rosenedge's to the highest amount of power she could as she was forced to cut her way through the horde, putting a tremendous amount of strain on her already tied body. By the time she had cut herself out, the half dead Archangel was than confronted by the Dark Lord Valaso whom she was forced to duel with for her survival. Despite even unlocking the Awakening ability and wielding Rosenedge, she was eventually defeated and Rosenedge nearly cracked in half when she used to block Valaso final attack before she was defenseless. Before she died of her wounds and gave the last of her remaining power to one of her Disciples, the Valkyrie, Lendira, it was said a shard of Rimiya's soul manifested within Rosenedge in order to protect the weapon from being misused by those whom would wield it's power for i'll purposes. The weapon was later recovered by the Aeadra and laid to rest with Rimiya in her resting place on Aelthuan. Although a fierce weapon, with it damaged, Rosenedge has lost it's true power and with no being capable of repairing the weapon, Rosenedge is considered by the Aeadra to be nothing but a holy relic from a bygone and forgotten age best left forgotten.

**Lumiere Deirend -** Known as the mythical "Light's End" by mortals, it was a lance of pure light that was said to be capable of destroying or purifying any dark being. Wielded by Archaon since his conception, the Lumiere was damaged beyond all repair during the final stages of the War in the Heaven when Archaon smashed Lumiere into Zenthius body, causing the top of the lance to break off and disintegrate once Archaon died. The Lumiere was eventually found by the Aeadra and laid to rest with Archaon.

**Dhiaga -** Known by many titles such as the **"Staff of Divinity"** and as the **"Staff of Truth"**, it's origin of creation is unknown however it is believed Milroas had used it since his near conception until the ending of his life by the hands of Khulraud whom than the Dhiaga fell into the hands of the Dark Lord, Malaice. Said to only take shape when a spell caster with a heart similar to Milroas wills it into existence, The Dhiaga has the ability to grant the wielder to use any type of magic through the Dhiaga, even magic they do not know however with such power requires a master amongst master of magic to wield properly otherwise the Dhiaga could explode. The Diaga also has the ability to control a Kaitiaki completely and utterly however it can only control one at a given time.

**Codex Nuovoka Megertes -** an ancient tome originally written by Milroas that teaches understanding others through the usage of magic, it is considered one of the most holiest texts ever written even If the contents to the vast majority of people is considered nothing more than garble. Although there many copies of this codex in the mortal Realm, these copies are poor imitations and are poorly translated, losing almost there original point altogether. To the religious, the original, unaltered codex is highly sought after and considered to have no price in value. Unknown to mortals, the original codex also teaches one how to tape into their body's energy and how to manipulate it into magic.

**Imperious** **-** A master crafted long sword wielded by Milroas. Since it was intended for ceremonial use, it was used only in the most dire of situations where Milroas was forced into melee combat. Although considered weak by other weapons by the Archangels, it is still a superbly crafted blade by mortal standards.

**Ashrune -** commonly referred to as **"Necris Wraith"**, Ashrune was the Great Sword wielded by Hexion during the Age of Creation and during the War in the Heavens until he was killed by Uma, following this Uma took the blade as her own, whether to use it's power for herself or safeguard it as a reminder of her brother's fate. One of the most powerful fire blades in existence, Ashrune's blade is completely engulfed in eternal flames that are so hot for when it swung, it's sensational swings are capable of melting and slicing through almost anything. Ashrun is also capable of functioning as a fire staff to an extent, able to fire off fireballs and fire slashes without the wielder having to use their own energy to make it do so.

**Blaze Tempmento -** Hexion's second suit plated armor, made out of Adamantium, this suit of armor provided with Hexion with near invulnerability on the battlefield however besides for physical protection against danger, this suit of armor also gifted Hexion with limited healing properties, allowing him to heal in combat, albeit slowly. This was added to minimize Hexion's pain while wearing the armor. As he moved in the armor, his charred skin would be irritated and any healed yet minor wounds would be reopen once again. With his armor blessed, the armor would automatically heal the pain he sustained while he moved in the armor however any wounds he sustained in combat would often be ignored by the armor unless absolutely necessary. Hexion's suit of Adamantium armor had also been imbued with a great many fire runes and tempered many times over to give Hexion a near immunity to fire and heat, allowing to him traverse in or near exceeding hot locations with no issue. Following his death, the location of the armor has been lost however it is theorized the Aeadra managed to locate it and secure it someplace within Aelthuan.

**Uma's shroud -** often refereed to as a cape and as a cloak, this piece of fabric was created and used by Uma during her time as an Archangel. Functioning similarily to the Blaze Tempento to which it was designed on, it provided Uma with near immunity to fire and heat, this allowed Uma to journey and fight alongside her brother without issue as well as allowing her to traverse exceeding hot locations with no issue. The location of the shroud is unknown however it is believed Uma still owns it to this day.

**Arimathea -** A Great Shield of unknown origins, wielded by Yulla since her conception, the Arimathea was by far, considered the most powerful and most durable shield to have existed, made out of Adamantium, it was able to not only block physical, mental and magical attacks but it would deflect such attacks back at the original caster. During the War in the Heavens, Yulla used the Arimathea to great effect until the final battle on Aelthuan's Gates, there after a long duel with the Dark Lord, Brisela, after stalling the Dark Lord long enough for Hexion to arrive, some say Yulla let herself be slain in an effort to not be a burden on Hexion where others say she was barely even alive by the time Hexion had even arrived. After the battle, Hexion recovered the Arimathea and brought it to the Borjan Valkyrie Temple for safe keeping. Since than, the most honoured Valkyrie Warriors of than Rimiya and now Lendira have used it in their duty to protect Aelthuan and Athrunial.

**Auroran Crown -** A golden crown made out of Adamantium created by Argastes for Umaril when he was still an Archangel. Imbued by powerful magic, the Auroran Crown when worn, greatly increases the user's magic potential by seven fold as well as making them incredibly resistant to magic attacks. Created solely for the ruler of Aurora, the Auroran Crown will only material and dematerialize to the rightful ruler of Aurora, even in the current setting. Only wielded by Umaril, once he was killed by Hexion and Uma during the War in the Heavens over Aurora, the Auroran Crown has disappeared from the pages of history.

**Rosarius of the Sacred Mother -** also known as the "Rosarius of the sacred Bride" to the mortals, this was the personal rosarius of Miriael whom have crafted it sometime after starting the worship of Necris and the formation of religion as a whole. A holy relic with no price in value to the religious, especially nuns, this rosarius, is capable of protecting it's wielder from the Darkness, while it cannot stop such corruption, it is capable of making the wielder very resisted to the Taint of Darkness and will be able to fight it off for a significant amount of time, the stronger the willpower, the longer they can fight off the taint with the most strong willed individuals able to fight off the taint for many years before eventually falling. This rosarius is also capable of detecting any dark magic being used in the immediate area as well as the detection of the undead and any of those whose whom are possessed by the undead and by Deadra. With this rosarius, the wielder is instantly able to purify the possessed and send any supernatural force or Deadra back to where they come from. In small doses, the rosarius can nullify but the most powerful of dark magic however by being used in this fashion, will leave the relic powerless for a time until it can be used again.

**Veil of Prophecy -**Originally worn by Lavena Cervini whom became the first Arch Priestess of the Grail. It was said she gifted this holy veil by Lendira after she was chosen by the Goddess to lead her people down the spiritual path. The Veil of Prophecy is said to share the same power as the Goddess whom empowered it, allowing it's user to see into the future. The Veil of Prophecy is held by the Arch Priestess whom uses it as a symbol of her office.

**Arondight -** An Adamantium longsword created by Nemedus himself, it was the first blade he wielded until the War in the Heavens where he received Dyster. Although considered weak for a weapon wielded by an Archangel, Arondight was a sword with a mind of it's own, capable of independent thought and communication with the wielder through telekinesis. Through it's independent thought, Arondight holds the ability to sense the weakness of any opponent and immediately know how to exploit it. After Nemedus stopped using the blade, it has been used by the most honored Aeadra whom are worthy of wielding it by merit and by Arondight's approval.

**Dyster -** Refereed to the **"Sword of Death"** by mortals and the Aeadra and as the **"Reaper of Souls"** and **"Destruction of Realities"** by the Deadra and the Dark Lords, said to be created by Argastes through forbidden means and imbued by Wingaandovraw and Rimiya, it was the second and primary blade of the Archangel, Nemedeus after he became the **"Supreme Being's Wraith"**. Originally just a highly powerful Adamantium ebony blade that could use all the elements at once, after Nemedeus had slain the Dark Lord Dragon, Vul Ulokuun, it was said Dyster became corrupted after it had somehow absorbed the soul of the Dark Lord itself. In this new form, after harnessing the power of a Dragon Dark Lord, Dyster, it gained the ability to absorb souls and add the power of the soul to its own power, increasing it's power dramatically at the cost of slowing corrupting it's wielder and making the wielder addicted to battle and battle alone. By the time Nemedus was put to rest in a stasis like state, the Dyster had become so powerful through the absorption of so many Dark Lords, it was, when swung, able to rip small portions of reality apart. By this time as well, Dyster had manifest a mind of it's own, albeit one to a Dark Lord of slaughter and death. Realizing how much of a threat Dyster was, the Sisters of the Eternal Light through some means, broke the blade into three parts, the hilt, the guard and the ebony blade itself. The locations of these pieces have been lost to time however it is known that the Sisters of the Eternal Light are no longer in possession of such pieces, leaving many to ponder where the three pieces are.

**Caduceus -** A legendary staff that symbolizes the power and sovereignty over the bridges of Aelthuan, Arthunial and the Spirit World. Originally belonging to Laertes, it is now in the possession of Eilauver. Granting the user to travel between realms, the wielder can use Caduceus to instantly travel to Aelthuan, Athrunial or the Spirit Realm although it's true powers are known only to Eilauver whom described such power as being "Able to become one with Nature".

**Mjolnir -** Called the **"Hammer of the Gods"** and as the **"Hammer of Thunder",** Mjolnir was the Divine Hammer created by Necris and given to Argastes to aid him in his duties in smiting. Imbued with lighting runes of such quality than even the gods themselves cannot copy, Mjolnir is the most potent weapon that is imbued with Lighting, allowing Argastes complete mastery over Lighting to such an extent, Mjolnir has the ability to instantly disintegrate lesser beings and severely stun beings of similar power to Argastes. Although Lethal in combat like many Archangel weapons, the Mjolnir was originally designed by Necris to be the greatest hammering tool of a smith, allowing Argastes to smith the greatest weapons and armor needed for his servants, as a result, there is no greater smithing hammer than Mjolnir within any of the realms to the point Mjolnir is considered non existent to mortals, even most smiths will doubt it's existence although any would agree, they would die and potentially kill just to use it one in the creation of something over their fire.

**Ascalon and Rhongomiant -** Commonly known as the **"Heavenly Duo's"**, these two weapons are the identical weapons of Lendira's Daughters, Ilyrana whom wields Rhongomiant and Iyrelleia whom wields Ascalon. Identical in nature as stated above, these two identical weapons take the form of two weapons, in their original form, they take on the upper appearance of silver, golden powerful staves while the bottom appearance is that of a lance. In this form, the stave grants the wielder mastery over the five elements as well as the mastery over Light and thanks to Eilauver, mastery over Nature as well, allowing the wielder to use all seven types of magic, albeit one at a time. Also thanks to Eilauver's tempering, those with the staves are able to instantly teleport themselves to the Spirit Realm and back as well as to the location of it's sibling weapon. Their final passive ability grants the user flight, allowing them to fly at a moderate pace without the usage of their own energy. In the weapon's second form, they take on the appearance of swords, the appearance however is left upto the wielder and after the first time morphs into what they think the weapon will look like, it will always take that form until they are no the owner of the weapon. In this form, the wielder loses the ability to teleport and fly however the elemental magic of the weapons is increased significantly, allowing the wielder to far more direct and offensive in their approach.

**Wheel of Fire -** Said to be imbued with a portion of Ragnarok's own power, this wooden wheel in appearance is currently under the possession of the Vilja Throne, Suriel whom uses it as a banner to inspire the Aeadra and especially the Thrones under his command to inspire them to fight without fear. While the wheel does have a commanding presence, it's abilities is it's aura it gives off. This aura automatically makes any Aeadra that can see it's aura, be without fear or any such emotions that would jeopardize them in battle, greatly increasing the Aeadra's odds at victory.

**Thyrsus -** A white and golden rod used by Nulthaestial, it is said to increase his entire mana capacity by three fold and it allows him to teleport anywhere within Aelthuan without the usage of his mana reserves.

**Sonengund Gauntlets -**A master crafted pair of steel plated gauntlets of Aeadra origins, these gauntlets grant the user incredible strength, allowing them to lift something many times their own weight.

## Notable Aeadra

### **Wingaandovraw**

Nicknamed the **"Winged Dragon of Raw"** and the **"Dragon God of Power"** was amongst the first and most powerful Archangel ever created by Necris as well as his favorite by Wingaandovraw. From his conception with Necris, Wingaandovraw was meant to lead his fellow Archangels in their duty of protecting and guiding Athrunial until Necris would awake of his slumber. Right before onset of the **"War of the Heavens",** He was replaced as Chief Deity by Amriel whom had dethroned him after an honor duel using her new founded powers. For much of the **"War of the Heavens",** Windaandovraw lead the Aeadra for much of the war, easily holding off Amriel's advances in Aelthuan and the Mortal Realm until he was betrayed by one of his Archangels whom had been corrupted by Amriel which led to the near destruction of his forces during the battle. Wanting his fellow Archangels to survive along with any other Aeadra still alive, Wingaandovraw choose to sacrifice himself in an effort to buy time for his remaining forces to escape. Wingaandovraw held off Amriel, Zenthius and Dantes, three corrupted Archangels long enough for his forces to escape before eventually lowering his guard intentionally allowing himself to be killed after he knew everyone escaped, knowing he had completed his duty.

### **Rimyia**

or Rimiya, Nicknamed the **"Angel of Vengeance",** the **"Dragon Goddess"** and **"Angel of Judgement"** was the second Archangel created by Necris with the sacred duty of acting as the Judge and Executioner of the Archangels. Rimyia was tasked by Necris to watch over the Archangels specifically and If any showed any hints of betraying Necris, the Aeadra or their Ideals, she was to immediately kill them without restraint. Her position of power made her Wingaandovraw's second in command with the two working together in harmony for the greater good of their species and Athrunial however their relationship isn't well understood. Many Aeadra considered Rimyia to be Wingaandovraw's wife due to her close relationship with him and with Rimyia having Dragon traits however other Aeadra see Rimyia as Wingaandovraw's attack dog and Champion during peacetime and during the **"Way of the Heavens"** where she became infamous for slaying a Archangel turned Dark Lord in single combat and adsorbed their power, giving her Dragon like traits. During the **War of the Heavens"** , Rimyia became infamous for being the most skilled Archangel alive, able to effortlessly killed six lesser Dark Lords in single Combat and killing one Archangel turned Dark Lord in single combat before adsorbing their powers for her own. After Wingaandovraw's death which turned the war in Amriel's favour, Rimyia took command of the remaining Aeadra in the mortal Realm and continued lengthy hit and run campaigns against the Deadra. It was during this time the modern Aeadra firmly believed the female Aeadra under Rimyia became the first Valkyrie after countless Valkyrie choose to stay behind in key locations to defend the most critical locations or to defend what was left of the mortal races as Rimyia's army pushed onward to combat the Deadra on every front. She finally met her end during the closing stages of the war when she was cut off from the main force of her army and was forced to fight through a Deadra army a hundred times the size of any other Deadra force she and her forces had encountered. Though she was able fight her way through the endless hordes of Deadra, by the time she made herself out, a critically wounded Rimyia was confronted by the Archangel turned Dark Lord Dantes better known as Valaso. Despite becoming the first Aeadra to unlock the **"Awakening"** ability during her climatic battle, she proved no match for him eventually in her critically wounded state. Before Valaso could land the final strike on Rimyia, Lendira and a number of Valkyrie were able to drive off Valaso. In her final moments before she died, Rimyia in her final moments, she gave Lendira the last of her power within her body with the intention of Lendira using such power to seal the Deadra into the Realm of Oblivion and use her power to end the Dark Lords.

### **Archaon**

Nicknamed as the **"Sentinel Of Deliverance",** Archaon was the third Archangel created by Necris with the duty of being Athrunial's Sentinel, to watch over for any external threats. Due to Archaon's nature, he became incredibly close with the Archangels, Ragnarok and Zenthius out of their strong desire to protect those they cherished and completing their duty to Necris. Archaon was not present when the **"War of the Heavens"** began due to being Athrunial's Sentinel which required him to be far away from Athrunial however when he did return to Athrunial, he quickly learned of Emriel's betrayal and the wrong she had committed for whatever reason she had. The Majority of his deeds during the "**War of the Heavens"** has been lost to time however is is known Zenthius had on numerous occasions tried to persuade his close friend of joining him and Emriel on their side in hopes of ending the war quicker and for his sake as well, not wanting to kill a close friend. Zenthius had misjudged his former close friend whom he thought he could bring to his side, Archaon in response saw what Zenthius had become, a corrupted pale imitation of the once holy angel he was once. Determined to either redeem or kill his former close friend, Archaon over the span of the entire war fought Zenthius countless times over to no anvil until the final stages of the war. During their final fateful battle, the two titans fought at their max power, determined to kil the other and end these pointless events of sadness however eventually it seemed Archaon became on top as after a lengthy battle, a mortally wounded Archaon charged Zenthius, breaking his guard and plunged his great lance into Zenthius stomach. At first it seemed as Archaon had in fact killed his former close friend however this was far the case. When his Lance impacted Zenthius, Archaon fed his own life force into Zenthius after the initial damage he made with his great lance. The life force Archaon had given to Zenthius saved his life and in the process, allowed Zenthius to see Archaon's thoughts,memories and feelings towards him, even in the end where Archaon had impaled Zenthius with his great lance, Zenthius could see Archaon never once lost faith in his close friend and firmly believed Zenthius could be redeemed to walk alongside Archaon once more like they used to. It was only after Archaon fed the last of his life force into Zenthius and died did Zenthius eye's finally opened, he finally realized what he had become and knew what he had to do, Zenthius was saddened it took the death of his close friend to finally open his eyes but Zenthius swore his death wouldn't be in vain and it wasn't as Zenthius was able to kill Amriel and end the **"War of the Heavens"**, restoring peace to Athrunial at the risk of his own life, following his close friend's example.

### **Haveena**

Known as the **"The Keeper of Knowledge"**, Haveena was the fourth Archangel created by Necris whom had gifted her with the responsibility of safeguarding and cataloging all Knowledge on Athrunial and quite possibly the galaxy from the Great White Tower of Kisitus. Much of Haveena's exploits during her life as an Archangel is unknown however, she was known to have been extremely close to the Archangel, Yami Dantes to the point of Love yet her dedication to her duties forbidden her from acting on such feelings. After being denied of the woman he loved, their relationship never recovered, especially Dantes had learned that his close relationship with Arkam was simply a ploy by Haveena whom had taken pity of him. The worst part however was when Arkam's journal revealed that Haveena had formed a romantic relationship with Arkam out of academic reasons. With this information and later a confrontation, Haveena and Dantes would not see other until the ending portions of the War in the Heavens and it was during that final stretch of that war, after Dantes had morphed into the Dark Lord, Valaso did he locate and find Haveena but he also corrupted her into his first Arch Deadra after he had defeated her and Arkam in single combat. Since than, Haveena has rarely been seen since her corruption and is believed to be more of a pet than an actual Deadra of War like many Greater Deadra are.

### **Milroas**

Known as the the **"Philosopher of Power",**  the **"Sage of the twenty six paths"** and even as the **"God of Heroes"** as well as many more, Milroas was the seventh Archangel created by Necris whom is widely regarded of being the progenitor of all forms of Magic and as the ancestor to the greatest of Heroes. He is also credited with the creation of the very first demons of nature, the Kaitiaki and the holy Codex Nuovoka Megertes, the code of conduct that teaches understanding others through the usage of magic. Despite his wisdom and his constant effort of trying to spread his ideals of understanding on the Archangels and the mortal of Athrunial, he could not prevent the War in the Heavens and was forced to fight under Wingaandovraw's banner much to his dismay. Largely due to his mastery over magic, he was able hold off Amriel's forces advanced to great effort however throughout the course of the war, Milroas continued to weaken greatly as time went on, unable to recover his strength due to the strain magic had put on his body therefor by the time the war drew close, it was said Milroas was nothing more than shriveled up, old man. During the final portions of the war, in his weakened state, Milroas was defeated and presumed killed by Khulraud although his body was never found.

### **Hexion**

*"It seems in the end......I've failed you sister, I let the monsters...of the dark take me and I've became one of them.....Things can never be the same....All the horrible things I've done....I can never take them back!.....I don't know...If your heart can but......I'm sorry sister.....I'm so sorry....I hope one maybe one day you can forgive me......There isn't much time, the end calls for me and I can't.....run.......but you, my dear sister......for the both of us.....you have to to live and and no matter what happens....even If....the remaining Archangels.....die....you have to live on.....continue our legacy and our duty as an Archangels.....our....no.....my dreams.....my honor......and....my will of..fire......they now belong to you......................now..................go."*

-Hexions final words to Uma before dying.

Known as the **"Fire God of War"** and as the **"Great Phoenix Lord"**, Hexion was the eight Archangel created by Necris whom is best renowned for his martial abilities in battle with his large, phoenix like fiery wings, as well as his mastery of Fire release magic whom is also credited for aiding Milroas in discovering and wielding Fire release magic. Hexion was also known for his inseparable yet exceptionally close platonic relationship with Uma whom by Milroas, was considered to be the closest living example of his ideals of the Codex Nuovoka Megertes to the point, only Hexion and Uma considered each other true siblings related by blood. Hexion's original role set by Necris has been lost to time but it is believed Hexion was an enforcer of sorts, using his martial abilities as sorts as an deter mortals from waging war against each other. Unlike the majority of the Archangels, Hexion favored far more direct methods of keeping the peace, as a result, he was not above killing innocents and others he believed to be the catalyst of the problem. In his youth, Hexion was said to have befriended Milroas before eventually become close friends later in his life and it was said he even agreed to aid his friend in his relationship. Although Milroas was the one whom discovered the release of fire, it was Hexion whom became the first being in existence whom was able to not only control it, but to wield It as If was an extension of his body. During one of his experiments after he gained the knowledge to wield fire, it was there Hexion lost his control of such fire and ended up burning his entire body, including his angelic wings falling off. After the incident, Milroas not proficient in healing, had Uma whom took it upon herself to heal her sibling. It was during such a time that the two grew a near inseparable bond. When he healed, Hexion wings grew back in the form fiery like wings that continually grew, withered away and fell off before regrowing back.

During the War in the Heavens, Hexion and Uma fought together as a duo and to great effect, holding off entire invasions single handily to such an effect, the two were nearly considered invincible by Ambriel after they managed to defeat and slay the Archangel turned Dark Lords, Umaril and severely wound Laertes and Miriael during the battle of Uruer and others less renowned Dark Lords. During the later portions of the War in the Heavens, at the battle of Evotl, through some unknown means done by Amriel, the two were separated during the fierce battle and in the end, Hexion was captured by a Dark Lord strike force led by Miriael before being presented before Amriel, there she corrupted him to their side. From there Hexion led many Dark Lords into battle and won many pivotal battles. In the final stages of the war, Uma managed to track Hexion and after she failed to persuade to come back to her, she was forced to battle with him. Although she initially refused to fight at full strength towards her brother, when she saw he was completely lost, she mustered all her remaining strength and slew him. In his final moments, Hexion finally realized what he became and what he had done, he asked for forgiveness from his sister but before she could respond, Hexion used the last of his energy to pass on his **"Will of Fire"** before dying of his injuries, leaving Uma to whatever fate awaited for her.

### **Uma**

*".........I won't forget you brother.....never.....and even If the Archangels have failed now, I promise you....I will return and continue my duty as an Archangel.......For that is the Will of Fire....."*

-Uma's last words after Hexion's death

Known as the **"The inheritor of Fire"**, Uma was the ninth Archangel created by Necris whom was best known for her exceptionally close platonic relationship with Hexion as well as being the first inheritor of the "Will of Fire". Uma's role is unknown and so is her early life however it was known that along with Yulla, Uma was also a discipline by Rimiya whom taught them to how to wage war and how conduct oneself as an Archangel. Sometime during their training, through Rimiya, Uma befriended Milroas and Hexion during their experimentation with magic, especially during their experimentation with Fire release magic when Hexion had severely burned his body, forcing Uma to take upon herself to look after and heal Hexion of his burns, It was during that time the two grew a very close platonic relationship.

During the War in the Heavens, Hexion and Uma fought together as a duo and to great effect, holding off entire invasions single handily to such an effect, the two were nearly considered invincible by Ambriel after they managed to defeat and slay the Archangel turned Dark Lords, Umaril and severely wound Laertes and Miriael during the battle of Uruer and others less renowned Dark Lords.

In his final moments, Hexion finally realized what he became and what he had done, he asked for forgiveness from his sister but before she could respond, Hexion used the last of his energy to pass on his **"Will of Fire"** before dying of his injuries. After Hexion died, Uma used what remaining power she had left and seemingly fled Athrunial to some unknown location, never to be seen again. It is theorized by the Aeadra that in her weaken state, she entered some sort of exile or fled so she could plan, whatever it is, the Aeadra believe she will return one day when they need her most.

### **Yulla**

Known as the **"Unyielding Shield of Aelthuan"**, Yulla was the eighteenth Archangel created by Necris whom had given Yulla the duty of watching over the gateway that led into Aelthuan itself, granting her the power to deny or allow anyone entry into Aelthuan, even the Archangels If she deemed it necessary. In her youth, along with Uma, she was also a discipline by Rimiya whom taught them to how to wage war and how conduct oneself as an Archangel, as a result, Yulla formed a close relationship with Uma. Unfortunately Yulla was not able to continue their relationship due to her duties as Aelthuan's Gatekeeper forbidden her from leaving her post under normal circumstances. Yulla only well known exploit was during the War in the Heavens when the Archangel turned Dark Lord, Brisela led the final assault on Aelthuan gates. During the battle, Yulla was forced to battle Brisela however eventually, Yulla was defeated, slain and beheaded. Although Yulla entered battle knowing she would die, she was able to bide enough time for Hexion to arrive and drive Brisela away, thereby saving Aelthuan from being destroyed or worse, corrupted.

### **Asuryan**

Known as the **"The Exalted Sword of Aelthuan"**, Asuryan was the nineteenth Archangel created by Necris. Tasked with being the absolute final defense of Aelthuan should, for whatever reason fall, Asuryan would seek out and destroy any threat to secure Aelthuan. Due to such duties however, Asuryan was put into a stasis like coma by Necris with the strict instructions to his Archangels, that under no circumstances, could Asuryan be awaken unless by the most dire of threats that threatened Aelthuan itself. As a result, Asuryan was never awaken from his coma, even during the War in the Heavens, even when Aelthuan was assaulted many times over and almost broken into. Instead during Brisela's assault on Aelthuan and her duel with Yulla, it was said Wingaandovraw teleported to Asuryan's inner sanctum where he laid and opened a portal to some other realm or through time and space, it is not known but what is known that Asuryan's body was thrown into the portal, never to be seen again. Wingaandovraw most likely did this to prevent his capture and eventual corruption by the Dark Lords however Wingaandovraw appearance and Asuryan being flown into a portal is only a theory created by the modern Aeadra as no one knows the truth.

### **Umaril**

Known as the **"Auroran King"** and later as the **"Great Betrayer King"**, Umaril was the thirteenth Archangel created by Necris with the sole duty of ruling Aurora, the perfect utopian city that stood to inspire the mortals of Athrunial to greater heights and to a higher standard, to inspire them so much, they would forgo war and other ill trivial human activities in the hopes of creating their own utopia. For much of the Age of Creation, Umaril ruled fairly and justly, using his charisma, his foresight as well as his mastery of planning, organizing to continue Aurora's golden age from ever stopping. Towards the end of the Age however, Umaril became distanced from the Archangels, viewing himself as the one true God King of Athrunial, seeing it was his and his work alone that had allowed the mortals of Athrunial to prosper. As far as he was concerned, ruling all of Athrunial was his and his bright right alone and he wouldn't let anyone take it from him. Due to these reasons and his mindset at the time, Umaril willingly joined Amriel's forces in preparing for the War in the Heavens, focusing exclusively on Athrunial itself due to his extensive knowledge of the land and it's people. Much of Umaril's exploits during the War in the Heavens is unknown with his only known feat was his defeat at the Battle of Uruer where he was slain by the Archangels, Hexion and Uma. In his final moments however in an attempt of revenge, Umaril used the last of his power to sink the entire island that housed the Kingdom of Aurora into the sea, killing almost everyone instantly and sinking Aurora into the sea, thus starting the legendary myth of Aurora, the city of the gods that sank into the ocean.

### **Miriael**

Known by many names such as the **"Bride of the Almighty One"**, the **"Great Prophetess of the Supreme Beings"**, the **"Arch Saint of Sisterhood"** and many more, Miriael was the seventeenth Archangel created by Necris whom is responsible for creating religion and spreading the worship of Necris throughout Athrunial in the hopes of creating peace and understanding through faith as well as to aid Necris through speeding up his recovery by the power of worship while he slept. Due to her actions, Miriael is considered the "Patron Saint" or "Mother" of all nuns and western priestesses, even to this day, she is still highly venerated despite being corrupted during the War in the Heavens.

Miriael early life and original purpose is unknown, having abandoned it altogether shortly after she was conceived in the world in the hopes she could spread the "Truth" to those whom didn't know, recognizing Necris as the "All Creator" of all things and that it was only them, through their belief, that Necris could awaken once more from his slumber to lead them to paradise. Since the beginning of such actions, Miriael was always at extreme odds with her siblings due to her abandoning her original purpose and the fact they always saw her ideals of religion and worship and her mindset as pointless and a true waste of her time as an Archangel. She was especially at extreme odds with her Archangel sibling,Milroas whom firmly believed peace and understanding could only be achieved through the usage of magic, not faith as Miriael believed. This in returned form the foundation of an intense rivalry between the two, hoping to prove to the other that they were right and the other one were wrong. Such an intense rivalry however produced a complex relationship between the two, the two hated each other yet at the same time, the two were considered by the other Archangels to be as close as Hexion and Uma, able to understand each other's ideals as If they were their own despite their differences.

During the outbreak of the War in the Heavens, Miriael formed The Order of the Eternal Light, a crusading force of mortals that comprised entirety of her personal followers as well as those completely loyal to the worship and veneration of Necris. Taking up the mantle of "Abbess Canoness" of The Order of the Eternal Light, Miriael and the Order fought under the banner of the Archangels faithfully throughout the course of the entire war, waging defensive war on every fight in attempt to defend the innocent and the weak as well as the temples dedicated to Necris. Sometime during the later portions of the war, Miriael was later defeated in battle by Argastes and was corrupted into a Dark Lord. For the reminder of the war, she fought under the banner of Argastes, leading the endless hordes of the Deadra and destroying all what she had built during her time as an Archangel. She was eventually defeated by a weaken Nemedeus at the battle of the Ossuara Temple and by using the last of his strength, she was sealed away within a object of power.

### **Nemedeus**

*"I am the Supreme Being's Wraith, my sword is at their command and only them! I bow to no one, living or dead!"*

-Nemedeus to the forces of the Aeadra

Known as the **"Lord of Death"**. the **"Angel of Death"** the **"Blood Angel"** and as the **"Ancestral Vanguard of the Supreme Beings"**, Nemedeus was the twelve Archangel created by Necris whom's role has been lost to time however it is believed Nemedeus functioned as a Justicar under Rimiya during the Age of Creation. Acting as her eyes and ears, Nemedeus would judge anyone of power and determine If they were innocent or guilty of a crime, no matter whom it was or what they, If they were found guilty, Nemedeus would deliver justice to the unworthy. Being a being that took his duties very seriously, even for an Archangel, his dedication to his duties had often put him at great odds with the vast majority of the Archangels since he always viewed all his siblings with suspicion. Due to this behavior, Nemedeus was a near outcast in Aeadra society with the only ones standing by him was Wingaandovraw and Rimiya whom often saw Nemedeus as an disciple of sorts. Thanks in large part to his close relationship with Wingaandovraw and Rimiya, Nemedeus was gifted far more training than any other Archangel and thanks to this, Nemedeus undoubtedly became one of the most skilled Archangels when it came to battle. It is theorized by the modern Aeadra that Nemedeus was trained by Wingaandovraw and Rimiya to be their successor, to be the Chief Diety and the Executioner If for one reason or another, the two could no longer continue their duty or were killed.

Alongside Rimiya and her Valkyrie's, Nemedeus was present for nearly the entire War of the Heavens, fighting on the front lines, always acting as a Vanguard for the Aeadra forces and never giving an itch to the traitors. Acting as a Vanguard, this became Nemedeus sole duty for the entirety of the War after the battle of Tisaldin, where he took on the Vow of the Provocator, making him the first ever Aeadra to ever receive the honorary position of being the "Vanguard of the Supreme Beings", to act as the Champion of any Aeadra force in the name of the Supreme Being and challenge any enemy Champion to single combat. He took on this vow during the battle of Tisaldin, one of the bloodiest battles of the war when the forces of Order were trying to the best of their ability to defend Tisaldin, the largest mortal kingdom on Athrunial at the time against the Deadra and their Dark Lords. When the Tisaldin palace and the remaining Aeadra forces were about to falter in their defense against the Deadra, having little choice, the severely wounded Wingaandovraw singled out Nemedeus and bestowed upon him with the highest honor of becoming Necris personal champion by taking the Vow of the Provocator. Accepting this duty and taking the vow to his very core, Nemedeus donned the colors of Necris and took on the mantle as the "Vanguard of the Supreme Being". With his weapon in hand, Nemedeus flew himself over the palace walls and threw himself into the battle, slaughtering many and challenging every Dark Lord to single combat. It was said by the end of the day, the siege ended after Nemedeus slew the Dark Lord Dragon, Vul Ulokuun in single combat and hanged the dragon's corrupted corpse over the walls, breaking whatever morale the Deadra had.

Soon afterwards, his ferocity in combat and his martial prowers became so well known throughout the ranks of the Dark Lords and the Deadra, that under normal circumstances, any Dark Lord was to make a tactical withdraw and regroup with other Dark Lords in the area to formulate a plan to counter Nemedeus. This policy was largely in place due to the belief he was considered invincible in single combat and was far too much for any single warrior to defeat. Eventually however, as the war dragged on, Nemedeus mental state began to slowly decay the more he fought fanatically in the name of the Supreme Being until he became consumed with the thrill of battle itself. Completely engulfed by the sole desire to fight the strongest, Nemedeus abandoned the Archangels to their fate, leaving the frontlines in search of the most skilled of warriors however despite this, he did not forget his purpose. It is said Nemedeus last known exploit during the War in the Heavens was during the battle of the Ossuara Temple near the throat of the world where Nemedeus almost single handily defeated the corrupted Archangels turned Dark Lords, Argastes and Miriael with the aid of the Sisters of the Eternal Light. Having used the vast majority of his power to defeat the two Dark Lords, Nemedeus used what remained of his power to seal Miriael within a object of power from the temple while the severely wounded Argastes, sensing an opportunity, fled the battle, leaving Miriael to her fate. After the sealing of Miriael, Nemedeus, having virtual no energy left, collapsed and fell into a coma. Nemedeus would have died there where he laid yet he was saved by the Sisters of the Eternal Light whom took his near lifeless body and laid him within the heart of the Ossuara Temple, there, using the magic gifted to them by Miriael herself, they performed a ritual which in returned allowed them to save Nemedeus at the cost of their own but by doing so, the ritual put the fallen Archangel in a stasis like state while he lay dormant in his coma like state, saving the warrior from certain death. Since that fateful day, the Archangel has been watched over by the surviving Sisters of the Eternal Light and to this day, Nemedeus in his near death state, still lays where he was put to rest. With this sole reason that such a Being still exists, thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of pilgrims make the pilgrimage to the Ossuara Temple despite the dangers of Aklator that reside within.

### **Laertes**

Known originally as the **"Great Guardian"** as an Archangel as currently as the **"Destroyer of Life"**, Laertes was the fourteenth Archangel created by Necris whom was given the sacred duty to watch over nature and the connection between the mortal realm and the spirit world. Once the Protector and Guardian of the Kraymvirk Forest, a massive forest that was heavily infused with spiritual energy, the Kraymvirk Forest was completely and utterly destroyed during the War in the Heavens by Amriel for unknown reasons. Due to Laertes seclusion from the rest of his Archangel Siblings, he was not aware of the civil war that had transpired so when the Kraymvirk Forest was destroyed by Amriel's dark power, Laertes was corrupted simultaneously at the same time. It was said after Laertes had been corrupted by Amriel, he had opened a portal to the Spirit World and nearly destroyed it after he had 'consumed" the vast majority of the animal and human spirits that had dwelled within it. Luckily, before he was able to consume all life within the Spirit World, he was defeated and was casted out by Milroas with the help of the remaining Spirits. His exploits during the War in the Heavens is completely unknown however it is believed some time after being casted out of the Spirit World, Laertes was consumed by Amriel.

### **Argastes**

Known only as the **"Hammer of the Gods"**, Argastes was the fifteenth Archangel created by Necris whom was responsible for creating and maintaining the arms and armor of the Archangels and the Aeadra. Argastes only exploits during the War in the Heavens was when he created the Arkis Dagger for Ragnarok during the later portions of the War in the Heavens in an last ditch effort purify the world of the Darkness. Later down the line, Argastes participated in the defense of Aelthuan's gates however he was defeated and captured and defeated by the Dark Lord, Agunido. Following his corruption, Argastes battled Miriael and after a tiring battle, he managed to defeat her and corrupt to the forces of Darkness as his servant. With Miriael at his side, they led their own hordes against Humanity and the Aeadra to great success until he along with Miriael were defeated by Namedeus at the Ossuara Temple. Despite being severely wounded, Argastes managed to escape the battle and disappear after sacrificing Miriael. Once Argastes was forced away into Oblivion, Argastes created his own realm, Urdrakule and began his work on Forgebreaker, a massive hammer that would allow him to rip through the Gates of Oblivion and find himself in the mortal world once again.

### **Amriel**

Infamously known as the **"Great Betrayer", "Amriel the Destroyer",** the **"Fallen Angel", the "Great Deceiver", "Angel of Lies, "Goddess of Corruption", "World Destroyer"** and many more, Amriel was the last of the twenty Archangels to be created by Necris. Unlike the others, Necris designed Amriel to be strong as a normal Aeadra in the hopes she would be the link between her people and her siblings. Despite being the weakest of the Archangels by far, she was blessed by Necris to have the highest potential of all the Archangels combined and was easily the most gifted out of all her siblings, able to learn and master abilities and techniques in a manner of hours to a few days compared to her siblings and her Aeadra brethren. It was foretold by Necris himself to Amriel and all her sibling that once he awoke from his slumber, Amriel was to have a special destiny or position, even higher than that of her Archangel siblings however whatever this special destiny or position was, was never stated, even to Amriel,leaving her to wonder what her special destiny or position would be in the future. Such thinking would eventually lead to her downfall. At first Amriel did the same as her fellow Archangels did, performing her duties without hesitation, firmly believing in her holy duties given to her by her creator however over a long period of time, eventually Amriel began to change after she began to loaf her duties and being befriended by Zenthius before coming close friends and eventually lovers. While romance was never stated to be forbidden by Necris between his Archangels, Wingaandovraw had outright frown upon their relationship when he and the rest of the Archangels found out about the matter, arguing it was the Archangel's duty to guide over the mortals and Athrunial, they were to be above such things such as romance but considering Necris had never stated an Archangel could never be n a relationship, it was permitted albeit heavy monitored due to the negative effects it could bring. Such actions taken by Amriel only pushed her further down her dark path despite Zenthius best efforts at trying to heal her blacking heart. Matters only grew worse when she befriended and instantly fell in love with the other Archangel by the name of Dantes, creating a love triangle although Zenthius himself never knew the truth until much later. Some time after Amriel and Dantes became lovers in secret, one day, Dantes had accidentally without thinking, slipped the location of one of the fabled Necron Stones to Amriel, whom took the initiative a few days after Dantes had told her and took it for herself, fusing one of the holy stones created by her Creator into her very own body, increasing her power by two hundred fold, gaining such power she could have only dreamed of yet at the same time, by absorbing a piece of Necris soul into her very being, the very power she wanted twisted her inside and out, corrupting her mind and body beyond all belief. With a portion of a Supreme Being's power coursing through through her vains, Amriel was easily able to maneuver around the court of the Archangels and within a short period of time later, was able to remove Wingaandovraw power, effectively becoming the new Chief Deity of the Archangels and the Aeadra.

After she became the Chief Deity of the Archangels and the Aeadra, Amriel began secretly began corrupting many Aeadra in secret and eventually managed to even corrupt nearly half of the Archangels including Zenthius and Dantes for unknown reasons until her corruption was discovered by Rimyia which quickly escalated into an outright civil war called the **"War of the Heavens".** With Zenthius and Dantes at her side, she waged her war against the Aeadra in many battles with her newly created Deadra and became infamous for killing many Archangels directly or through some indirect action. With numbers of her side and the majority of her siblings now either dead or now corrupted on her side, Amriel was close to winning the **"War of the Heavens"** until she was confronted in the final stage of the war by Zenthius whom was now redeemed by Archaon's death and single handily slew his lover in single combat before dying of his own wounds. Her own death caused enough confusion in the Deadra ranks for the Aeadra to push the Deadra back long enough for the Valkyrie Angel, Lendira to seal the Deadra race and the now Dark Lords into Oblivion itself. Although Amriel is long dead, her actions are still felt to this day and is the main reason why Athrunial is in it's current state.

### **Zenthius**

Zenthius infamous known as the **"Redeemed Angel"**, he was the sixteen Archangel created by Necris. Unlike the majority of his siblings, Zenthius origins and why he was created isn't known, neither is what he did before his corruption by Amriel however what is known is that Zenthius became the lover of Amriel and willingly joined her side after she used their love to corrupt him. He greatly aided her during the **"War of the Heavens"** along with Dantes, going to great lengths with Dantes to kill a few Archangels who weren't corrupted however his most famous deeds was his fateful final duel with Archaon whom redeemed Zenthius with his death which in returned, opened his eye's to the truth and saw the chaos Amriel had willingly created. Zenthius now returned to his noble and honorable self, tracked down Amriel during the final stages of the war and killed her in single combat at the cost of his life afterwards. In his last moments, he gave his remaining energy to the Aeadra whom thanks to such energy, were able to push back the Deadra and seal them away to Oblivion. Zenthius is highly venerated by the modern Aeadra for being an honorable and noble warrior yet is used as a prime example when an Aeadra gives into their emotions. Zenthius is the only Archangel whom was pardoned of their crimes by the modern Aeadra while the other traitor Archangels are never spoken of.

### **Ragnarok**

Known as the **"Great Sacrificer"**, Ragnarok was the tenth Archangel created by Necris whom is responsible for the creation of the Throne Angels as well as the Arkis Dagger that led to his death. Although Ragnarok's original purpose is unknown, Ragnarok, even in the beginning took it upon himself to safeguard Aelthuan. To do this, Ragnarok used the vast majority of his power to create the "Vilja", the first group of Thrones in existence and by extension, his right hands whom he would often consider his "Sons" or "Children". After the creation of the Vilja and eventually the Throne bloodline, Ragnarok and his sons, along with his descendants, safeguarded and protected Aelthuan until the outbreak of the War in the Heavens. Throughout the entire war, Ragnarok led his Thrones in battle many times with them gaining the reputation of being the Aeadra's most steadfast warriors, so much so, Ragnarok and his Thrones would refuse to leave any battleground until the innocent and defenses had enough enough time to flee. Such principals would eventually led to the death of the majority of the Thrones including the Vilja with even Ragnarok receiving a fatal yet permanent wound during the battle of Ucidere where he had refused to withdraw from the city of Akrithos since the people had not yet evacuated. Even when Akrithos was deemed a lost cause by the Aeadra after they lost control of the city and withdrew, Ragnarok and his Thrones on the other hand remained behind to save as many as they could, resulting in Ragnarok's forces almost being slaughtered to the last man with Ragnarok himself being captured and injured by the Dark Lords, Thideax, Kirax and Hiugea. If it hadn't been for the sacrifice of the Vilja Throne, Adriel, Ragnarok would have been slain, thankfully Adriel's sacrifice managed to buy Ragnarok enough time to flee in shame. Permanently crippled and the vast majority of his children and his descendants dead, Ragnarok returned to Aelthuan with his surviving children and descendants, there along with the help of Argastes, Ragnarok began the construction of the Arkis Dagger. With the physical constructed being created by Argastes, Ragnarok and the vast majority of his children and his descendants began pulling their remaining power together to empower the Arkis Dagger so when Argastes finished the constructed of the Dagger itself, Ragnorak and his followers imbued all their remaining power into the dagger that would later be called the Arkis Dagger before presumably dying. After his death, it was said the remaining Vilja that did not partake in the ritual hid their father's grand design somewhere on Athrunial or Aelthuan, hoping it would never fall into the wrong hands.

### **Lendira**

infamous for being known as the **"Valkyrie Goddess",** the **"Goddess of Prophecy" ,** the **"Goddess of Hope,** the **"Goddess of Light"** and as the **"Grail Goddess",** to the mortals of the mortal realm and especially to the Kingdom of Laetannia whom worships and venerates her the most amongst those in the mortal realm. Lendira is the single most oldest and most powerful Aeadra in existence, having existed before the **"War of the Heavens",** being one of Rimyia's hand maidens. During the course of the **"War of the Heavens",** Lendira became a highly renowned Valkyrie known for her martial prowers in battle and was known to have fought under Rimyia's personal command for many battles, earning much praise for her combat abilities where she was infamous during those days for killing a single lesser Dark Lord in combat, something unheard of amongst the Aeadra. During the Closing days of the war during one bloody battle, Lendira and her Valkyrie unit were cut off from Rimyia from the intense fighting and were forced to cut their way through the endless hordes of the Deadra. With Lendira leading the charge, her and her unit were able to reach Rimyia just in time as the wounded Dark Lord, Valaso was about to land the final blow upon a critically wounded Rimya. With the support of her unit, Lendira fought Valaso in single combat on even ground until he was forced to pull back due to his wounds. With the last of Rimyia's strength, she entrusted Lendira with the future of their race with the last amount of her power to use against the Deadra. Following Rimyia's death, Lendira would continue to fight in the last stages of the war, leading the remaining Valkyrie's and the Aeadra remaining on the mortal plane until, she along with the remaining Aeadra received the last of Zenthius power. With such newfound power, the Aeadra with great determination, pushed back the Deadra long enough for Lendira and her remaining Valkyrie warriors to open massive portals all scattered throughout Athrunial which with great power, threw the Deadra along with the Dark Lords into the portals before being sealed by Lendira and her Valkyrie, ending the **"War of the Heavens"** and saving Athrunial and her race from total extinction.

Despite the hard earned victory by the Aeadra, the ending result left almost the entire race almost completely wiped out to the last with Lendira and a few hundred Aeadra surviving the **"War of the Heavens".** Lendira had no choice in the matter, Lendira became the new Chief Deity of the Aeadra and was forced to take the survivors of her race back to the ruins of Aelthuan, leaving the mortals behind in the mortal realm to fend for themselves, granting them freedom they have never had before. During the "**Age of Fire"**, the Aeadra were completely absent from the Mortal Realm, having to rebuild Aelthuan and to replenish their numbers, leaving the mortals to construct mighty civilizations and pursuit the path of power and wisdom however it was only a matter of time before their sins became to take over as countless civilizations waged wage, forgetting what had happened in the past. The **"Age of Fire"** ended when two large kingdoms clashed in one final battle with one side attempting to wipe out the other side with magic that was once wielded by Amriel. Unable to control such magic, the spell backfired and somehow weakened Lendira's seals enough to allow the Deadra to once more invade Athrunial. Despite the time that had passed since the **"War of the Heavens"** and the beginning of the **"Age of Fire",** the Aeadra still hadn't recovered enough to combat their corrupted counterparts, leaving the mortals to fend for themselves, hence beginning the **"Dark Ages".** Although the Aeadra themselves couldn't aid those in need directly, Lendira refused to stand idle while Athrunial burned, choosing to aid those in need by indirect means, such as visions of the future, blessing those who wished protections against the darkness to even grant a select a few a portion of her own power however despite her best attempts, these things did little to save Athrunial until a fateful meeting.

One day, Lendira heard the prayers of a gallant warrior within a cathedral, able to read his soul and mind and the events that had transpired in his life upto that moment, Lendira was so impressed by his ideals, she had decided to answer his prayers, appearing before him, she gave him the guidance he needed before she offered the gallant warrior a Chalice of her own blood and told him to drink from it. Although the gallant warrior was hesitant at first, eventually the gallant warrior stepped forward and drank from the chalice, immediately turning the gallant warrior into the first Grail Knight of Athrunial and her very first champion. After their fateful meeting, she sent her champion on his first quest to receive the marks of all the Divine Being's still left alive while she returned to Aelthuan. When her Champion completed his first quest, Lendira decided to travel personally with her Champion in aid of finding the fabled Necron Stones of legend and through her guidance and companionship for nearly a century, her Champion was able to complete his quest just in time as Necris had finally awoken from his slumber after being disturbed. Although Lendira was forced to return to Aelthuan due to the situation, she blessed her Champion before he ventured forth to battle Necris for the sake of the world. Though Lendira's Champion was victorious, the end result was the worse possible outcome, Lendira was horrified her Champion was corrupted at the last moment by Necris as a last ditch effort. With the **"Dark Ages"** finally ending and the beginning of the **"Age of Cinders",** Lendira knew her seals that held the realms of Oblivion closed wouldn't last for long despite the best efforts of the best mortal magic users could generate so to prepare Athrunial for the grim future and in memory of her personal champion, Lendira had decided to found her own mortal kingdom, Laetannia in hopes of generating Grail Knights like her first Champion whom would push back the Deadra and destroy the heart of the darkness just as her first Grail Knight did. Since the beginning of the **"Age of Cinders",** Lendira had founded the "**Holy Kingdom of Laetannia",** and has guided it's people and it's Grail Knights with the help of her Valkyrie warriors in preparation for when the portals of Oblivion open once more.

### **Auctora**

*"Auctora.....The Aeadrain God of War, the greatest Aeadrain warrior to have ever existed since the time of the Archangels, his skills are second to none, for If he still walked Aelthuan like the day of the Ancients, many would say he would have became an Archangel himself. As long as Auctora watches over the world, we will never know defeat."*

- Nulthaestial's inner thoughts on Auctora

Known by the modern Aeadra as the Aeadrain **"God of War"** and as the **"Archangel of War"**, Auctora is widely considered to be the first Seraph to had ever existed and by extension, the first Seraph Angel that had ever morphed into a Serra Angel, the first Angel of War. In the current setting, Auctora is a member of the Asura Council led by Lendira whom functions as Lendira's adviser and General during War, this is largely due to the fact that Auctora is the oldest Aeadra in existence and is considered by the vast majority of the Aeadra to be by far, the most powerful Aeadra in existence. It is said during the Age of Creation and the War in the Heavens before receiving his permanent injuries during his battle with the Dark Lord, Malus, that Auctora's power rivaled that of the Archangels and it was prophesied that one day, Auctora would morph into an Archangel and led the Aeadra into a new, grander era similar to the Age of Creation however that did not come to pass.

*"My Place is at Lendira's side as her sword and shield, I may have the knowledge of the Ancients and my skill in battle might have even compared to the Archangels of old but I am simply a warrior and nothing more, I thought I was like an Archangel yet with such thinking, in the end, my arrogance got the best of me and because of that, it almost took everything away from me. Even to this day, I still carry the mistakes of my past.....If I had the knowledge I have now, I could have prevented the War in the Heavens and the Dark Ages, I could have evolved into an Archangel.....Whatever opportunity I had to led all of Aelthuan has been lost to me forever and because of that, I have no place in leading in our people to salvation........"*

-Auctora to the younger members of his race that questioned the leadership of the Asura Council

How Auctora came into existence has been lost but what is known is by Auctora himself, that he was originally a Disciple of all the Archangels and was tutelaged by them in all matter subjects but it was the studies of war and battle did Auctora truly shine. Although it had always been Wingaandovraw's intention to groom Auctora into an Archangel If, for whatever reason the original Archangels were no more although when it became apparent there was no true threat that could threaten them at the time, Wingaandovraw granted Auctora's request of allowing him to morph into an Angel of War, a Serra Angel. Eventually after so much time had passed, Auctora's skill in warfare began to rival that of the Archangels and so did his arrogance, causing the Angel of War to become extremely prideful and rash, this only rose greatly during the War in the Heavens. When the War in the Heavens broke out, Auctora was amongst the first to lead the Aeadra into battle, functioning as the Vanguard of the Aeadra forces, much to the dismay of the Archangel whom had taken notice of Auctora's reckless and arrogant behavior. Auctora's such mastery over warfare granted him many victories during the War in the Heavens with even the early portions of the war being almost won almost singly handily by Auctora and his forces however with such victories, especially after the slaying so many Dark Lords by his own hands, made his arrogance and pride swell even more. Auctora was eventually put in his place some time later in the war during the Battle of Telia where Auctora rushed ahead of his forces after the Dark Lord, Malus had managed to pull off a number of ploys insulted Auctora's honor and pride as a Serra Angel. these ploys essentially managed to to lure Auctora into a cavern that led to a massive cathedral that had fell through the ground. When Auctora entered the Cathedral, the massive doors closed behind him and the darkness revealed a massive, bloody arena with the Dark Lord on the other side. It took only a brief moment for the two to exchange words before the two charged each other, beginning a titanic duel between two warriors. The two fought for what seemed like an eternity as the two landed many blows but in the end, Auctora having believed he gained the upper edge in the battle, Auctora allowed his arrogance and pride to get the best of him, causing him to lose the battle and by extension, almost his very life when the Dark Lord appearing defenseless, managed to somehow spawn his weapon from what appeared as nothingness and stabbed Auctora through his chest, piercing his armor, allowing the darkness to taint his body.

As Auctora began to bleed out in a puddle of his own blood, it was only than did Malus finally reveal the truth, that he had in fact held a Necron stone the entire time, he had simply waited until the perfect time to use it. In Auctora's presumed final moments, Malus told him he had been gifted the stone by Amriel by herself to aid him in his battle against Auctora. Before Malus could land the final strike to finish Auctora off, it was than of course, the massive doors of the cathedral were obliterated and out from the rising smoke, came a warrior clad head to toe in ebony armor appeared. Through blinding speed alone, the ebony warrior managed to deflect Malus blade from landing the final strike on Auctora therefor saving his life, forcing the Dark Lord to fall back. Realizing this warrior was fast and strong enough to deflect his blow with even a Necron stone in his possession, along with the fact he was severly wounded from his battle with Auctora, Malus withdrew from the battle, saving Auctora's life. Looking down at the dying Auctora, the ebony warrior used his light magic to heal Auctora's wounds threatened his life but not the damage he had sustained during his duel nor the damage that was caused by the taint. Seeing how Auctora's life was no longer threatened, the ebony warrior turned around and began walking towards the exit of the Cathedral. As he left, he left Auctora with some parting words before he disappeared.

*"Consider this......my parting gift to you disciple, use it well....and remember.....the mistakes that led you to this fate.....your mistakes.......they will live with you until the day you die....remember them well......"*

-The Ebony Warrior to the crippled, yet living Auctora

After he had managed to muster the strength to escape the Cathedral and the cavern, Auctora saw witness to the ending of the Battle of Telia but it was no battle, for without their peerless leader, without his leadership or his mere presense to inspire them, Auctora's forces were slaughtered almost to the last man. After witnessing the death's of so many of his own, the pain of his injuries were too much and fell unconscious. If it hadn't been for a few survivors that found and took him to the safety of Aelthuan, he would have likely been found by the Deadra and corrupted. Following this event, due to his severe injuries, Auctora was not able to participate for the reminder of the War and while he did eventually recover sometime during the Age of Fire, Auctora was never the same again, having lost his potential to eventually become an Archangel one day and seeing how he had left his arrogance and pride get the best of him which in the end, led to his defeat of not just him but his entire force as well. Auctora took the words of the warrior whom had saved him and took them to his heart, taking an oath to never allow himself to be overtaken by such things ever again. When Auctora did finally recover physically and mentally, Auctora surrendered his position on the Asura Council as Chief Deity to Lendira and initially refused to be on the council at all until he eventually realized Lendira would need his strength and wisdom for the future to secure Aelthuan and Athrunial as well as to make sure no one would follows in his footsteps and made the same mistakes. Later in his life during the Dark Ages, seeing he had reached the pinnacle of his power due to the injuries he has sustained during the battle of Telia, Auctora decided to take the Vilja Throne, Arkam as his apprentice after he returned from his exile and had decided to dedicate his life to the defeat of the Dark Lords, especially Valaso and Haveena in the hopes that possibility one day, they can return as Archangels.

### **Suriel**

Known famously by the Aeadra as the **"Last of the Vilja"**, **"Ragnarok's Wraith"** and as the **"Shield of the Gods"**, Suriel is a Vilja Throne whom was the Lord Commander of Ragnarok's Aeadrain Forces during the War in the Heavens and later in the present time as the Captain General of the Vigilian Guard, the elite force of Aelthuan whom functions as it's guardians and protectors. Due to Suriel's duties as Captain General of the Vigilian Guard, Suriel is a member of the Asura Council as well, responsible for Aelthuan and all places deemed of Importance besides those within Laetannia. Elected from his siblings from his creator, Ragnarok for his outstanding abilities in leadership despite being the youngest of his siblings, Suriel led Ragnarok's force with bravery and determination through the entire War in the Heavens, proving to not only be a Commander but a powerful warrior as well, to the point he was second only to his sibling, Arkam. Later on in the war, Suriel was one of the few survivors of the Battle of Ucidere and is mainly the one whom is responsible for saving what remained of his siblings and his descendants, the Thrones however at the near cost of losing their creator and leader. Following Ragnarok becoming crippled, Suriel formed the Vigilian Guard to protect the already weaken gates of Aelthuan and promoted his brother Araqiel in his stead as Lord Commander of Ragnarok's remaining forces for the reminder of the war. Despite taking blame for not being strong enough to prevent his creator from becoming wounded and watching his siblings die in front of him, Suriel is highly venerated for his skill in leadership and his abilities in battle and it is even said, Suriel prevented himself from morphing into an Archangel during the Dark Ages so he could remain with his siblings in the hopes he does lose himself or his true purpose as a Vilja Throne.

### **Nulthaestial**

Known as the **"Scholar of a thousand Sins"** and as the **"Protector of the Ancients"**, Nulthaestial is a Seraph Angel that is currently the Keeper of Knowledge, whom is responsible for the safeguarding all known knowledge, even those of the forbidden nature. Nulthaestial is a member of the Asura Council as well, aiding Lendira in maintaining Aelthuan as well as well as educate the younger Aeadra in all topic's from history to warfare. Nulthaestial's early life and exploits is unknown however it is believed Nulthaestial was originally a Domininon Disciple of Milroas and Haveena.

### **Eilauver**

known as the **"Mother of the Heavens"**, the **"Ancestral Mother"** and as **"She whom watches"**, A powerful Seraph Angel, Eilauver is the current personification of Athrunial and is the direct descendant of Laertes. A member of the Asura Council, it is she whom directly watches over the mortal realm and it is she whom maintains the connections between the Mortal Realm, Aelthuan and the Spirit World. Due to such duties, she if often mistaken as the Chief Deity of the Aeadra and is often worshiped as much by the mortal race under different alies. Although considered young for her position, being once a Disciple of Lendira like Celestine, her training and guidance has given her strength and wisdom comparable to the Ancients, earning the recognition of her peers. Because of this, she made the Deputy Deity of the Asura Council so when there is a time Lendira cannot no longer lead, disappears or is killed, it is Eilauver whom take charge of the Asura Council and the Aeadra as a whole.

### **Ira**

Known as Honora, Honera, Honia, Honoia by mortals, said to be the eldest daughter of Lendira that is the physical manifestation of her divine wraith and justice, Ira is the representation of Lendira's warrior like nature she had inherited during her time when she served under the Archangel of Vengeance, Rimiya as a Valkyrie. Unlike the rest of her sisters whom are capable of being passive in their awoken duties, Ira being the manifestation of Lendira's pure rage, she is a near uncontrollable weapon whom seeks to destroy all Evil's and any source of the Darkness in all worlds and realms at any cost, making it impossible for her to stay awake during times of peace. Because of this, Lendira often keeps her in a stasis like state until she is truly needed again. The only time she has ever been awoken was shortly before the closing days of the Dark Ages when she appeared under the guise of Honora, there she became a renowned as a Divine Goddess of War and Honor, taking on the form whatever the enemy dreaded most from a War like Aeadra before slaying them. Ira is thought to have slain the vast majority of the remaining Dark Lords that were not present during the Final Battle or those whom did not flee into the Realms of Oblivion. Due to Ira's nature and having no set form as well as her guise as Honora, Ira is mistakenly seen as a regular non-Aeadra Divine Being of War due to her mastery over the Light and the Shadows, something that is considered impossible for the Aeadra by mortals.

### **Ilyrana**

One of the Twin Goddesses and a daughter of Lendira, Ilyrana is the younger twin sister of Iyrelleia and one of the Twin Goddesses whom which is distinguishable by her long ponytail and the green fabric's she wears. She, along with her sister is one of the Spirit Guardian whom protects the bridge between Athrunial, the Spirit World and Aelthuan. As a result, Illyrana and her sister work very closely with Eilauver, causing the three to form a tight, near unbreakable bond. Unlike her sister, Iyrelleia whom was patient and warm loving towards she cared for, IIyrana was best described as a woman with a fierce personality. Being hotheaded and having little patience at times, IIIyrana's judgement could be clouded, preventing her from making the correct choice or a choice that would having long term effects. Despite this, compared to IIyrana whom chose the sit and wait approach before making a decision, IIyrana, having a strong sense of justice, would always be one for jumping into battle to protect the weak and defeneless and especially those whom were "evil" by her standards, earning her the reputation of being courageous and protective of her comrades and those whom she cared for. In the eye's of the mortals, she is viewed as a beautiful but fierce War God whom is willing to do nearly anything to bring divine justice to those whom she deems evil.

### **Iyrelleia**

One of the Twin Goddesses and a daughter of Lendira, Iyrelleia is the oldest twin sister of IIyrana and one of the Twin Goddesses whom which is distinguishable by her long ringlet curled like hair and the blue fabric's she wears. She, along with her sister is one of the Spirit Guardian whom protects the bridge between Athrunial, the Spirit World and Aelthuan. As a result, Illyrana and her sister work very closely with Eilauver, causing the three to form a tight, near unbreakable bond. Although the two shared a unbreakable bond, Iyrellia differentiated greatly from her sister in the sense Iyrelleia is best considered the most wise and peaceful out of the two whom is best comparable to their mother. Level headed and patient, Lyrelleia has always preferred the same approach to all things like her mother, always waiting out to see how events could possibility unfold before often deciding on what the correct decision is to make. she is also like her mother in the way she, under normal circumstances has always been restrictive in using her power, firmly believing that fighting and waging war is not the answer to all conflicts and she has always refrained from killing unless she has deemed it necessary. To the mortals that are luckily enough to see her and interact with her, she has always been depicted as a divine yet elegant beauty that is warm loving and caring to those she cares for yet along with her sister, very protective of those whom need it against the forces of evil.

### **Elysia**

Said to just be a little over a thousand years old, Elysia is the youngest daughter of Lendira and is said to be the physical manifestation of all the world's knowledge or the combined knowledge of all that Lendira has acquired since her creation many millennia ago. Despite being a Guardian of knowledge at her core, due to her extremely young age, still being in the "Chibi" stage of development as an Aeadra and her cheerful and adventurist yet native nature, Lendira is highly protective of her daughter whom oversee's her protection and development when able and when she isn't, her mentor, Nulthaestial and her friend, Eilauver watch over her. Although very obedient towards her mother and those whom care for her, Elysia is known for her habit of disappearing at times, using whatever, unsupervised time she has to collect knowledge she doesn't already have, especially knowledge partaking to discovering whom her father is, if she even has one. Out of all her sisters, it is said Elysia has the highest potential of all her sisters where many lesser Aeadra have begun to believe that after her mother and Eilauver are no more, it is she whom will become the one, true leader of Aelthuan whom will lead the Aeadra race with the second generation Archangels at her side.

### **Arkam**

Known originally as the **"Keeper of War"** and now known as the **"Archangel of Woe",** and as the **"Prince of War"**, Arkam was originally the second Vilja Throne created by Ragnarok whom symbolized War and because of that, Arkam was without a doubt the most powerful of the Vilja in combat. Even from an early age, Arkam was considered a prodigy of war and because of this, he was taken away from Ragnarok and was personally trained by Rimiya, Tarinuva and lastly, Wingaandovraw in the arts of war and leadership. Through this training, Arkam had somehow broke the mental shackles placed on him by his creator and was able to feel and understand the emotions of Humanity far more intensely than he ever could have before. Understanding of such emotions allowed him to become close with the Archangel, Haveena whom in returned used it to her advantage for her research when she asked him If he was interested in a romantic relationship between herself and him for purely academic purposes. Arkam agreed and the two entered a romantic relationship although the nature of their relationship was more platonic in nature than romantic or especially sexual. It was also during this time when Arkam took in the mental disturbed Archangel, Yami Dantes and struck up a friendship with the Archangel although this was initially done due to Haveena's request and thus at first, Arkam and Dantes relationship was entirely artificial in nature. Eventually the two did form a real relationship out of their constant spars and became close, unfortunately their relationship came to an end when Dantes stumbled upon Arkam's journal which exposed the artificial origins of their relationship and the fact Arkam's journal revealed he had been in a romantic relationship with Haveena whom he loved. Dantes refused to accept this new information until he witnessed Arkam waiting outside for the Asura Council to end, only for the two to embrace each other when Haveena appeared. What came next was a duel between Arkam and Dantes however before a clear winner could be declared, Wingaandovraw appeared before them and forced the duel to be over before lecturing the three on their duties and to suppress their emotions.

Following this, Arkam returned to his duties as a Vilja under the command of Ragnarok once he finished his apprenticeship under Rimiya, Tarinuva and Wingaandovraw. When the War in the Heavens broke out, Arkam was amongst the first of the Vilja to throw themselves into the war. Due to Arkam's war like nature, Arkam was amongst one of the first to enlist in Auctora's forces, allowing Arkam to fight on the front lines, allowing him to witnesses some of the bloodiest battles of the early war. Initially Arkam acted as one of Auctora's Vanguards, leading the other Aeadra into battle when Auctora himself wasn't present including the Battle of Telia where Arkam, despite his combat prowers, was nearly killed. Much like his creator, Arkam refused to falter, he refused to withdraw from the field of battle until his allies had managed to escape with their lives intact. Outmaneuvered and outnumbered, Arkam and the remaining survivors that stayed behind to cover the retreat of Auctora's surviving forces were forced to cut their way out of the near limitless Deadra Hordes. Though severely wounded from the battle, Arkam's led the survivors in one last push and through his unshakable resolve to survive and his heroic spirit, Arkam managed to even slay Arkos, one of Amriel's most favored Champions in his final push at the stake of his own life. Through his presumed sacrifice, a fair amount of survivors of Auctora's forces, inspired by Arkam's resolve and determination, returned to the battle and fought their way through the hordes long enough for them to recover Arkam's body and retreat once again. Arkam's actions during the Battle of Telia earned him much recognition from his Aeadra and those of the Archangels, he had even earned the respect of Auctora himself.

Following the recovery from his wounds he had sustained at the Battle of Telia, Auctora, impressed with Arkam's martial abilities and leadership, gave command over his forces to Arkam and ordered him to lead his forces to victory while he remained in Aelthuan to recover his wounds. Arkam accepted this duty and did as Auctora asked of him, leading his forces into many battles, aiding the other Aeadra forces in battle by functioning as the vanguard. Due to his duties as Commander of Auctora's forces, Arkam was not present during the Battle of Ucidere nor did he yield to Ragnorak's request to return to him and his surviving siblings to aid them in the creation of the Arkis Dagger. Having believed he had evolved past his duties as a Vilja and the fact he believed he was far too important to the Aeadrain Forces to sacrifice himself for a weapon of power that may not even work, Arkam continued to lead Auctora remaining forces for the remainder of the war until his force was completely decimated in one of the final battles of the War. After his force had been completely decimated and seeing the battle as hopeless, Arkam fled the battle, only for him to detect the diminishing life force of Haveena. Sensing she would not last long, Arkam rushed to her aid and largely thanks to his speed, he was able to arrive just in time as the Dark Lord, Valaso was about to execute her. Mustering all the strength he could, Arkam fired one massive beam of energy at Valaso, forcing him to dodge, little did he know it was an actually an healing ability in the guise of an attack. When Arkam realized Dantes was in all actuality Valaso, Arkam attempted to persuade him of whom he was and the destiny he held but Dantes was far too gone at this point. After seeing the madness he had become and realizing there was nothing he could do to save his former friend, left with no choice, Arkam charged Valaso with the intention of slaying him and saving the world. Such a result ended in the two waging war against each other in a show of power between two godly warriors. Although Arkam fought well, landing many blows on Valaso, in the end, he was no match for the Dark Lord whom wielded two of the Stones that housed a portion of Necron's power. Just as before, with Arkam weakened and wounded on his last leg, before he could be executed, Haveena saved him from instant and ordered him to flee. He initially refused but when he saw the weary but the fire that clung within her eyes, he complied with her order, leaving Haveena to her fate.

Feeling disgraced and the fact he had not only failed in saving his close friend and probably Haveena but the remains of Auctora's forces, Arkam used his remaining power to exile himself from Athrunial. Where ever he went is unknown but he spent many millennia afterwards pondering on what went wrong and how he could prevented all the events that transpired in his life he could have possibility avoided such as the death's of his siblings, his creator, Ragnarok as well as the deaths of Dantes, Haveena as well as failing Auctora by allowing his forces to be slaughtered. He spent many years meditating on his defeats before he finally realized that he couldn't run away from his mistakes and use them as an excuse, he knew that despite the mistakes he had made in life, he couldn't run from his duties and now more than ever, the Aeadra needed him more than even before. When the Dark Ages were in full swing, Arkam returned to Aelthuan and after being forgiven by Lendira and Auctora for his actions, Auctora seeing Arkam had learned what he had needed to and seeing him wield the same potential the Archangels saw within him, took Arkam in as his apprentice in the hopes that one day, he can take his place on the Asura Council and morph into an Archangel. Since that moment, Arkam has spent every moment of his life through the most brutal training imaginable by Auctora and through such training, at the dawning of the Age of Cinders, Arkam ascended to the ranks of Seraph Angels before morphing himself into a Serra Angel, an Angel of War just like his master. As Arkam continues to train and his power increases drastically over time with the help of Auctora, Arkam has became one of the last hopes of the Aeadra species as a whole with many believing that with the help of Auctora, it will only be a matter of time before Arkam will morph again, only this time into an Archangel of War and save not only Aelthuan and Athrunial but destroy the Darkness once and for all and guide all those down the path of light just as Auctora was prophesied to do so many millennial ago.
