World Tree

The **Underworld** is loose term for all non-abrahamic realms where people are judged and where the sinners are punished by the deities and demons of their own religions and theologies.

## Overview

The concept of an underworld is found in almost every civilization and "may be as old as humanity itself". Common features of underworld myths are accounts of living people making journeys to the underworld, often for some heroic purpose. Other myths reinforce traditions that entrance of souls to the underworld requires a proper observation of ceremony, such as the ancient Greek story of the recently dead Patroclus haunting Achilles until his body could be properly buried for this purpose. Persons having social status were dressed and equipped in order to better navigate the underworld.

A number of mythologies incorporate the concept of the soul of the deceased making its own journey to the underworld, with the dead needing to be taken across a defining obstacle such as a lake or a river to reach this destination. Imagery of such journeys can be found in both ancient and modern art. The descent to the underworld has been described as "the single most important myth for Modernist authors".

## Description

The entities that reside within the Underworld are regarded as Chthonic. They are connected to the nine main circles of Hell, though are not considered part of "Satan's Kingdom".

Each of the mythological underworlds are connected to multiple gates that lead to these different underworlds stationed across the borderlands of Hell such as one that leads to Yamaloka (the Hindu equivalent of Hell), Hades (the Greek Underworld), or Yomi (the Japanese Underworld). These gates are fashioned in a way that fit the aesthetic and theme of the mythology they represent such as the gates of Yomi having artistic Shinto decorations around it.

Rhan-Tegoth

**Rhan-Tegoth** is the Great Old One of hibernation, immortality, and ruin. It has spent most of its existence as an immobile statue, and ancient texts agree that when Rhan-Tegoth awakens by itself, the End Times shall be upon the universe, but it is unclear which one triggers the other. According to legends, destroying Rhan-Tegoth will forever avert this apocalypse, but there is no known method of doing so.

## History

Rhan-Tegoth is said to have been active and ruling over a northern empire, on a planet far from Golarion. When abandoned by its followers, Rhan-Tegoth transformed into a statue.

## Appearance

Rhan-Tegoth resembles an aquatic arthropod with a globular torso, six limbs ending in crab pincers, three fishy eyes and a long proboscis. Its body measures 10 feet long, its legs span 24 feet, and it weighs 2,000 pounds. In statue form, it weighs 20,000 pounds and is still aware of its surroundings. Numerous statues of Rhan-Tegoth exist, and it is impossible to distinguish the actual Rhan-Tegoth from a simple statue. Mere proximity allows Rhan-Tegoth, even in statue form, to influence lesser minds and compel them to perform increasingly violent sacrifices.
Acheron

**Acheron** is the fifth river of Hell and Avernus

## Overview

It is called the River of Pain as it is the ultimate punishment for many souls of the damned, especially murderers. This is the point where the daemon, a divinity or supernatural being of a nature between gods and humans, like Charon, ferries the souls of the dead to Hell.

## Description

The Acheron is described as being about twenty feet across, with a roaring current that has thousands of voices crying out, shrieking in agony and pleading for mercy. A dreary fog hangs over the water, and lightning strikes light up the sky above it. On its shores lie those who lived with neither infamy or praise, denied entry into the Inferno or Paradise.

The Acheron also has a malevolent and mesmerizing effect on whomever comes too close to it, blaming them for egregious sins they never committed, and showing them their worst memories, trying to convince them to jump into the river.
Focalor

Focalor is a powerful Great Duke of Hell, commanding three or thirty legions of spirits. Focalor is mentioned as the forty-first of the 72 goetic demons. Focalor is depicted in the form of a man with a griffin's wings, kills men, drowns them, and overthrows warships; but if commanded by the conjurer he will not harm any man or thing.

Focalor has power over wind and sea, and had hoped to return to heaven after one thousand years, but he was deceived in his hope.

One of the archdemons, Lucifuge Rofocale, has his second name as an anagram of Focalor, implying an intellectual relationship.
Territorial Spirit

**Territorial spirits** are national angels, or demons, who rule over certain geographical areas in the world. While they are similar in function and task to a Guardian Angel they remain to be different to where they are even regarded as opposers. The existence of territorial spirits is viewed as significant in spiritual warfare within these Christian groups.

## Overview

It is believed that the Prince of Persia is a territorial spirit that acts as the guardian of the kingdom of Persia. Moreover, it is believed that the Persian prince is the angel known as Dobiel. After coming to power in Heaven, Dobiel set about helping the Persian people at the expense of every other nation. The legend states that all of the 70 or 72 tutelary or guardian angels of nations (except Michael, protector of Israel) became corrupted through national bias. The "man" that appeared before Daniel is also purported to be Gabriel.

Dumah was also once revered as the guardian angel of Egypt. As the patron angel of Egypt, he disregarded the command of God to exercise judgment over the Egyptian deities, having become attached to the Egyptian people as well as their worship. Dumah also viewed God's command to slaughter the firstborn as immoral, and convinced the angels under his command to rebel against the Heavens. Upon seeing this, God became furious and banished Dumah and his angels to Gehenna so that he could enact the slaughter of the firstborn.
Mount Olympus

**Mount Olympus** is the highest mountain in Greece, located in Thessaly. It was said to be the home of the Dodekatheon, the principal gods in the Greek pantheon, who lived in crystal mansions.

## Overview

The Twelve Olympian gods lived in the gorges, where there were also their palaces. Pantheon (today Mytikas) was their meeting place and theater of their stormy discussions. The Throne of Zeus hosted solely him, the leader of the gods. From there he unleashed his thunderbolts, expressing his godly wrath. The Twelve Olympians were Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, and the twelfth was Hestia, although some lists describe the madness god Dionysus as the twelfth.

Greek mythology also dictates that, when Gaia gave birth to the Titans, they used the highest mountains in Greece as their thrones, with Cronus sitting on Mount Olympus itself. After the Great Titanomachy, Olympus' Palace was constructed by the Cyclopes, the one-eyed giants who were freed by Zeus from the depths of Tartarus. In their gratitude, they gave Zeus his trademark thunderbolts.

## Description

Hephaestus, the talented god of the smiths and the forge, created all the furnishings and artwork on Olympus, even making some of the chairs and tables able to move themselves in and out of the celestial hall. At its highest peak, the mountain reaches nearly 1,000 feet above sea level and is steep, foreboding, and difficult to climb. Mount Olympus was an ideal paradise where the weather was always perfect and the gods could enjoy their feasts of divine nectar and ambrosia.
Mammon

**Mammon** is a powerful demon that is commonly personified as Greed and is the noble demon lord of avarice, richness, abundance, prosperity, wealth and injustice, most often personified as a deity.

When appearing on the various fashion magazines, he appeared as "a stereotypical, privileged young lord". His hair is described to be made out of pure color while his eyes shift color constantly between the colors of banknotes, with the most notable one being the "dollar-green". His skin is the same as a priceless ivory statue, so pale that it makes the color white seems darker in comparison. He also leave behind him a trail of black oil, which Wright claims to worth a thousand times more than any oil human could possibly mine on Earth.

## History

During his time in Heaven, he was depicted as forever looking downward at Heaven's golden pavement rather than God himself.

### Fall from Grace

After the rebellion in Heaven, Mammon was banished to Hell where he is the one who finds underground precious metal that his demonic companions use to build their capital city, Pandemonium by Lucifer's order. Mammon counsels the devils to be happy with what they have got, and to create a home for themselves in Hell.
Dodekatheon

The **Dodekatheon**, more commonly known as the Twelve Olympians or simply the Olympians, are the major deities of the Greek pantheon, and as such were the principal deities of the Greek pantheon, said to reside atop Mount Olympus.

## Overview

The Olympians gained their supremacy in a war of gods in which Zeus led his siblings to victory over the Titans. The children of Cronus and Rhea were the original Olympian gods who usurped the rule of their Titan family and have taken their seat of power, which was Mount Othrys, and renamed it as Mount Olympus. Ever since then their ranks were joined by their children but ones that possessed great impact and influence over mortals and natural order.

The Dodekatheon were also said to have ties with other groups of deities both across the West, the North, and the East. And, as with most of the gods, because of their arrogance they do not bother to form companionship or allegiance with lesser known pantheons. They have the closest allegiance to the Norse gods, known as the Aesir, often on rare occasions address one another in order to discuss important or critical matters.

Their Roman counterpart are the Dii Consentes, who share the god Apollo and also exclude Pluto, the lord of the Underworld.

## Description

While the number was fixed at twelve, there was considerable variation as to which deities were included. They were a family of gods, the most important consisting of the first generation of Olympians, offspring of the Titans Cronus and Rhea: Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Demeter and Hestia, along with the principal offspring of Zeus: Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Dionysus. It is believed that Hestia willingly gave her seat as the twelfth Olympian to Dionysus to keep the peace, although this has never been confirmed as official.

When it comes to Hades, even though was a major deity in the Greek pantheon, and was the brother of Zeus and the other first generation of Olympians, his realm was far away from Olympus in the underworld, and thus he was not usually considered to be one of the Olympians. Olympic gods can be contrasted to chthonic gods including Hades, by mode of sacrifice, the latter receiving sacrifices in a bothros ("pit") or megaron ("sunken chamber") rather than at an altar.

There are numerous other minor gods and goddesses that had close ties with the Dodekatheon and might be considered to be Olympians. Heracles became a resident of Olympus after his apotheosis and married another Olympian resident Hebe. According to Hesiod, the children of Styx: Zelus (Envy), Nike (Victory), Kratos (Strength), and Bia (Force), "have no house apart from Zeus, nor any dwelling nor path except that wherein God leads them, but they dwell always with Zeus." Some others who might be considered Olympians, include the Muses, the Graces, Iris, Dione, Eileithyia, the Horae, and Ganymede.
Succubus

**Succubus**, or **Succubi** for many, is a female demon known in European folklore during the medieval ages, which takes the form of an attractive female to seduce men before draining them of their life force during sexual intercourse or just devour them outright in the end.

## Overview

They were either spawned from or created by the legions of Hell. They are said to have sexual intercourse with sleeping men and in the process draw energy from them to sustain themselves, often until the point of exhaustion, deterioration of health or the death of the victim. A Succubus' male counterpart is the Incubus. They are often associated with Baobhan Sith, a vampire with deer feet who seduce men and are afraid of iron.

Lilith and her daughters, the Lilim, are considered succubi. The Lilim were said to be the first succubi in existence and are the strongest of their kind with later succubi being a lesser species of the Lilim. These traditional succubi were conceived from the union between Lilith and Asmodeus, and were called Asmodai. According to legend, Lilith became a succubus after leaving Adam. Succubi encounters have also been theorized as an attempt to explain birth defects or sometimes adultery.

According to the *Malleus Maleficarum*, or *"Witches' Hammer"*, succubi collect semen from men they seduce. They then use the semen to impregnate human females, thus explaining how demons could apparently sire children despite the traditional belief that they were incapable of reproduction. It is generally believed that the best and possibly only way to prevent attack by or to banish a Succubus is through the art of prayer, particularly through the use of the ‘Saint Michael’s prayer’.

In India, the succubus is referred to as the seductress Yakshi. In India they are described as a lone lady draped in a white sari (traditional Indian dress worn by women), with untied long hair. She generally is said to haunt lonely paths or roads, and to have died from torment by a male, and thus would seek revenge on any male. The stories of Kalliyankattu Neeli and Kanjirottu Yakshi are examples.

## Abilities

They have supernatural abilities, largely involving seduction, including the ability to produce pheromones which cause feelings of almost unquenchable lust in men, and there are almost no beings in the world, male or female, which can resist the charms of a succubus. In fact, the world "succubus" is used often to describe any supernatural temptress.

They are capable of inhabiting mortal bodies, in their case, female humans who are either willingly or unwillingly connected with the demon, with the demon being able to reside within and control the body of the vessel. All forms and vessels of succubi are mostly infertile, and they "reproduce" through a corrupting of a willing soul in Hell. If the forms aren't infertile, they may be able to reproduce with the male counterparts of their race.
Five Satans

The **Five Satans**, also known as **Five Lesser Satans**, are a collection of adversaries that appear in the Book of Enoch and which had sexual relations with human women.

## Overview

Their actions were in part responsible for the series of events that incited God to flood the Earth. Despite being called the Five Satans, they have no connection with Satan himself.

In this case they are more known as the Five Adversaries as "satan" is more of a title than a name. This may indicate that the Five Satans were originally nameless angels that were apart of the Arbiter choir of angels under Samael when he was in Heaven at the time. It was only then that Samyaza gifted them with a name that they Samael allowed them to become members of the Watchers.

Due to being former arbiter angels, they have a more fundamental understanding of humans and thus are usually regarded as the more wicked of all the Grigori due to their deep and insightful knowledge of humanity's morale and psyche. And with such knowledge they became a major factor in the downfall of humanity which then leads to the birth of the Nephilim.

Shiva

**Shiva** is known as **The Destroyer** within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity which also includes Brahma and Vishnu. In the Shaivite tradition, Shiva is the Supreme Lord who creates, protects and transforms the universe. In the goddess-oriented Shakta tradition, the Supreme Goddess (Devi) is regarded as the energy and creative power (Shakti) and the equal complementary partner of Shiva. Shiva is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism. Shiva has many aspects, benevolent as well as fearsome. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with his wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi (the first Yogi), regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and the arts.
Tuonela

**Tuonela**, also known as **Manala**, was the realm of the dead, where the old Finnish pagans would end up after dead. Tuonela is also the name of the river that leads to the realm.

## Details

### Located within

World Tree

The dead would arrive down the river of the same name, and it was the destination for both good and bad souls, where they would wander as grey, shadow-like beings. The realm is ruled by Tuoni and his wife, Tuonetar, who share the realm with their children Kivutar, Vammatar, Kalma and Loviatar, who are goddesses of pain, death and sickness.

Väinämöinen and some other wise men have managed to travel to Tuonela, in order to learn new spells or raise the dead, though the journey to the realm and back was dangerous. Heroes also have traveled there in order to prove their worth, though has often ended in tragedy.

An example of this was Lemminkäinen, who tried to catch the Swan of Tuonela as a trophy for Louhi, the ruler of Pohjola. The journey to the land of dead ends in tragedy, as Lemminkäinen drowns in the underworld's river, seemingly being doomed to die. His mother, with the help of Ilmarinen and Ukko, manages to fish her son's corpse out of the river and revive him with honey.
Hemera

**Hemera**, also known as **Dies**, was the Greek Primordial goddess of the Day and its personification. She was the daughter of Nyx and Erebus. Hemera resides with her mother in Tartarus, but the two deities rarely met each other in home.

## Overview

Hemera left Tartarus just as Nyx entered it, when Hemera returned, Nyx left in kind. Nyx and Hemera drew near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze: and while one is about to go down into the house, the other comes out at the door. Night and day were substances distinct and quite independent from the sun.

Every evening, Nyx drew her dark veil across the sky, obscuring the the shining blue of the heavenly ether, and bringing night to earth. With each morning, Hemera dispersed her mother's mists, bathing the Earth again in the light.

In the ancient cosmogonies night and day were actual substances distinct and independent of the sun. The sun ruled the day but was not its source. Hemera was briefly seen by Phaethon when the latter visits the palace of his father Helios, the Titan of the Sun.

## Description

Hemera was closely identified with Hera, the queen of heavens, and Eos, the goddess of the dawn. Hesiod seems to regard her as more of a divine substance rather than anthropomorphic goddess.

Given their similarities, some ancient texts closely associated Hemera with Eos, the goddess of the dawn. In some cases, the two goddesses were interchangeable. Philostratus the Elder uses their names interchangeably when describing a painting of the funeral of the Ethiopian king Memnon—also the son of Eos. In addition, both Callistratus and Pausanias, cited Hemera as Memnon’s mother in their writings. Her role was wholly subsumed by Eos in later myths.
Forbidden Fruit

The **Forbidden Fruit**, often envisioned as an apple or a pomegranate, was a divine fruit that became a tool of evil that lead to the downfall of humanity

## Overview

The divine fruit was used when the Serpent successfully tempted Eve into eating it, which was a grave sin as the Forbidden Fruit, true to its name, was the sole fruit in all of Eden that God forbade humanity from eating. Eve in turn tempted Adam into trying the Forbidden Fruit and at once the two of them became aware of their nakedness and tried to hide themselves out of shame, when God arrived to visit them they became afraid and tried to hide.

However, God found them and thus, this began the event known as the Fall of Man. It is said the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that bore the Forbidden Fruit still exists in the Garden of Eden, but God tasked a powerful angel known as Uriel to guard the gates of Eden so that no mortal may enter it, as was part of his punishment for Adam and Eve's transgression. The Forbidden Fruit is since then become a task to the corrupt for them to acquire and harness, as they believe that by eating the fruit, it will not only give them everlasting life, but divine power as well.

## Description

Despite the fruit being identified as an apple by Westerners, it is unknown what the fruit actually is. Which fruit may have been the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, possibilities include apple, grape, pomegranate, fig, carob, etrog or citron, pear, and mushrooms.

Proponents of the theory that the Garden of Eden was located somewhere in what is now known as the Middle East suggest that the fruit was actually a pomegranate, a plant indigenous from Iran to the Himalayas and cultivated since ancient times. The association of the pomegranate with knowledge of the underworld as provided in the Ancient Greek legend of Persephone may also have given rise to an association with knowledge of the otherworld, tying-in with knowledge that is forbidden to mortals.
Ki

**Ki**, also known as **Uraš** or **Antu**, is the Mesopotamian goddess of the earth, who is the consort of Anu, the god of the sky, and mother of the gods Enlil and Ninlil.

### Overview

The goddess Ki represented the Earth and is the wife of Anu. They are thought to be brother and sister, who could both be offspring of the God named Anshar (the sky pivot) and Kishar (the earth pivot). Making Anshar and Kishar her father and mother.

The union between Anu and Ki gave birth to none other than the Anunnaki which were a group of ancient gods that supposedly aided the development of humankind in ancient Mesopotamian mythology. This would make sense given that the word 'Anunnaki' could be translated as 'Children of Heaven and Earth'.

According to legends, heaven and earth were once inseparable until Enlil was born; Enlil cleaved heaven and earth in two. An carried away heaven. Ki, in company with Enlil, took the earth. Ki marries her son, Enlil, and from this union all the plant and animal life on earth is produced.

Daniel

**Daniel** is the seventh fallen member of the Grigori.

## Overview

Daniel was an angel, and the seventh mentioned of the 20 Watcher leaders of the 200 angels in the Book of Enoch, who taught the "signs of the sun" to humans. The name is translated by Michael Knibb as "God has judged".

He was known as the sixth angel in Heaven, the Angel of Lost Souls and The Watchers which was named Grigori.

Anu

**Anu**, also known as **An**, is the divine personification of the sky, supreme god, and ancestor of all the deities in ancient Mesopotamian and Anatolian religion.

## Overview

He was regarded as a source of both divine and human kingship, and opens the enumerations of deities in many Mesopotamian texts. At the same time, his role was largely passive, and he was not commonly worshipped. It is sometimes proposed that the Eanna temple located in Uruk originally belonged to him, rather than Inanna, but while he is well attested as one of its divine inhabitants, there is no evidence that the main deity of the temple ever changed, and Inanna was already associated with it in the earliest sources. After it declined, a new theological system developed in the same city under Seleucid rule, resulting in Anu being redefined as an active deity. As a result he was actively worshipped by inhabitants of the city in the final centuries of the history of ancient Mesopotamia.
Shudde M'ell

**Shudde M'ell** is a mile long great grey worm-like creature that burrows through the earth, melting all rocks in its wake. It is believed to be the supreme regent of the Chthonians as well as the largest and most powerful of the race.

Shudde M'ell appears as a colossal worm with tentacles sprouting from its head, and is so large that it can cause earthquakes by simply moving. Although Shudde M'ell is thought to have lain dormant beneath Ethiopia for aeons, it is also suspected to have been the cause of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
Hecatoncheires

The **Hecatoncheires**, also known as the Hundred Handers, are giant beings from Greek myth who are brothers to the Titans and the Greek gods.

## History

### Background

Born with one hundred hands and fifty heads, all flailing awkwardly in opposite directions, the Hekatonkheires were seen as disgusting by their father Ouranos and imprisoned back inside their mother's womb. The most well known of the Hekatonkheire are the three siblings, firstborn among the Hekatonkheire. These three were named Briareus or Aegaeon (the vigorous or the sea goat), Cottus (the striker or the furious) and Gyges (the big-limbed).

It is upon seeing these particular trio that Ouranos became repulsed and imprisoned them back within the womb along with the rest of the unborn Hekatonkheire. This act upset Gaia greatly, causing her great pain and set in motion the eventual overthrow of Ouranos by Cronus, who continued their imprisonment, except this time in Tartarus instead.

### Titanomachy

The Hekatonkheires remained there, guarded by the dragon Campe and several minor Titans who tormented their brothers until Zeus rescued them as advised by Gaia. Zeus slayed their captors, but demanded that the Hecatoncheires learn to control their own limbs and work in unison to free themselves if they truly wished to defeat Cronus. The Hekatonkheires did not disappoint, finally learning to control their many hands in order to break free from the chains of their imprisonment.

Stumbling forth as they took their first steps, the Hekatonkheires slowly erupted into a charge lead by Zeus, loyally following him from that day forth. During the Titanomachy, the Hekatonkheires threw rocks as big as mountains, one hundred at a time at the Titans, overwhelming them as they fought alongside the gods and Zeus.

### Gatekeepers of Tartarus

After the conclusion of the Titanomachy, Cottus and Gyges became the chief gatekeepers of the Bronze gates that guarded Tartarus. The Hekatonkheires under their command are known to be some of the most skilled combatants of the lower planes, using the knowledge of their ancient prison to outwit any Titans or infernal abominations that attempt to escape it. These gatekeepers know of all the ways and passages through the underworld, and possess extensive knowledge of the labyrinthian layout of Tartarus.
Magnum Tenebrosum

**Magnum Tenebrosum** is the Outer God of darkness created by Azathoth during the Primeval Wars. Formed alongside Magnum Innominandum as the Old Ones of being, it is the creator of infamous Shupnikkurat.

## Overview

Tenebrosum is more of a sentient representation of Azathoth's creation rather than a physical being. Tenebrosum represents nothingness, Innominandum represents existences, and Nyarlathotep represents the mind of Azathoth. This makes them incredibly respected, even among the other personifications non-existence.

## History

Magnum Tenebrosum was created by Azathoth to fight for him in the Primeval Wars, with it birthing Shupnikkurat and Yig to add to his army. Over the course of the war, he fought and lost to the serpent Ophion, but was spared due to the serpent discovering his love for battle. Afterwards he attempted to fight both Barak and Nun before Nun defeated both of them.

The war eventually winded down after Azathoth and his creations being locked away in the Outerverse. For some reason, Tenebrosum chose to help in the creation of the universe alongside Magnum Innominandum, possibly to gain living followers to help free Azathoth.
Sathariel

**Sathariel** is the 17th fallen angel of the Grigori. His name means the Moon of God or the Dawn of God.

## Overview

Sathariel is the second Watcher of the South, guarding the spiritual gates of the South which leads to Paradise. He was one of the very few benevolent Watchers even after his fall from grace. Sathariel was known to be a weaver of stories, for when Samyaza would speak of the tales regarding the conception of the universe and all that transpired within it, Sathariel would weave these tales from the imagination of the human mind, creating a fantastical cacophony of what can be perceived behind the veils of reality.

As he is the angel of deception, he only spins the truth into what the mortals would see from the words spoken by either him or another celestial. As such he is often referred to as the Face of Mercy, for Sathariel deceives the mind of what it envisions for it may become overwhelming. His "storied webs" come in the shape of paintings that exceed the abstractum of mortal painters, and his webs take life with every word spoken by Samyaza. He is said to provide the mortals with guiding visions and dreams though only to a specific set. He took Norea under his care after her immortality was stripped from her due to burning the Ark.

Even after his fall, it is said that Sathariel's woven celestial tapestries touched the minds of mortals and would be passed on for ages to come, leading to what would be called as abstract art, a showing of an image which deceptively hides a deeper story. His imprisonment in Sheol would mark the end of stories relating to the Grigori, and he sits within the desolate and Godless realm with an ending but no beginning or a reborn beginnings.

## Description

Sathariel is described in the *Book of Enoch* as the 17th Watcher of the 20 leaders of the 200 fallen angels. The name is believed to be of Babylonian origin and a combination of shetar and El (God) with the name meaning "side of God". Michael Knibb believes the name to mean "Moon of God" or "Dawn of God" based on the Ge'ez copies of the Book of Enoch.

It represents the Concealment of God, which hides the face of Mercy. The form of the demons attached to this Qliphoth are of black veiled heads with horns, with hideous eyes seen through the veil, followed by evil centaurs.

Ouranos

**Ouranos**, also known as **Uranus**, **Father Sky** or **Caelus**, was the Greek Primordial personifying the sky, the husband of Gaia and the grandfather of the gods.

## Overview

In Ancient Greek literature, according to Hesiod in his Theogony, Ouranos was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. Ouranos and Gaia were ancestors to most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Ouranos survived into classical times. Nonetheless, Ouranos is the catalyst that sets off a series of events regarding a son usurping a father in order to claim dominion over the cosmos

## History

**Theogony**

In the Olympian creation myth, Ouranos came every night to cover the earth and mate with Gaia, producing some of the most powerful offspring of any union between primordials. Hesiod named their first six sons and six daughters the Titans, the three one-hundred-armed giants the Hekatonkheir, and the one-eyed giants the Cyclopes.

**Children of Ouranos**

But despite the boundless potential within each of his offspring, Ouranos hated the children that Gaia bore him. Ouranos imprisoned Gaia's youngest children in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused great pain to their mother Gaia. In retribution, she shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and pleaded with her sons for them to castrate Ouranos. Only Cronus, youngest and most ambitious of the Titans, was willing: he ambushed his father and castrated him, casting the severed testicles into the sea. For this fearful deed, Ouranos called his sons Titanes Theoi, or "Straining Gods."From the blood that spilled from Ouranos onto the Earth came forth the Gigantes, the Erinyes (the avenging Furies), the Meliae (the ash-tree nymphs), and, according to some, the Telchines.

**Usurped by Cronus**

In some versions of the myth it is Hyperion, along with Cronus, Iapetus, Krios, and Koios who together revolt against their father. When Ouranos descended to the Earth to lay with Gaia, Hyperion along with Krios, Iapetos and Koios waited at the corners of the world and grabbed him as he came down. Kronos then was able to castrate his father with a sickle made by their mother.

After Ouranos was deposed, Cronus re-imprisoned the Hekatonkheires and Cyclopes in Tartarus. Ouranos and Gaia then prophesied that Cronus in turn was destined to be overthrown by his own son, and so the Titan attempted to avoid this fate by devouring his young. Zeus, through deception by his mother Rhea, avoided this fate. After the Titanomachy, Zeus punished the Titan Atlas by having hold up the heavens, which was in this case Ouranos, to forever separate him from Gaia in the hopes of the latter to never mate with Ouranos and attempt to produce children mighty enough to usurp the Olympians.
Malakh

The **Malakh** or **Mal'akh** (literally **Messenger**) in Hebrew, aka **Malakhins**, are the studious angels of Heaven, responsible for studying the cosmos and the origin of things. They are the lowest class of Angels, being at the very bottom of the hierarchy due to their extremely low amount of power, which doesn't mean they should be underestimated, as their knowledge and intelligence makes them incredibly dangerous and threatening.

## Overview

The word mal'akh roughly translates to messenger. The malakh appear in the Old Testament a number of times and as stated before they carry God's messages from Heaven and Earth and sometimes act on His behalf.

When the malakh appear in the bible, they are not described as having any wings in contrast to how they are portrayed in art and media. In fact, the malakh have the appearance of any ordinary person although far more impressive in comparison to a human. When a malakh walks among humankind they shroud themselves with cloaks and only appear before one that is chosen by God. When they appear, their presence is so overwhelming that the human they come before is overcome with immense shock, fear, and astonishment.

Despite being described as simple messengers of the Almighty, they have been described in the Old Testament as being fierce, resolute, and quite powerful. The two most notable moments showcasing their power was when one malakh struck 70,000 Israelites to death and another that singlehandedly killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night.

## Description

To record the flow of the Megaverse and the history of Creation, God created the Malakhs, studious and reclusive angels who, within their libraries, would keep sacred manuscripts and notes. They were given the Sixth Heaven, Daqua. They rarely get involved with the other choir and almost never leave the Sixth Heaven, much less the exercise of their duties.

Because of their impartial and reserved character, they hardly come into conflict with other choirs and have superior motivations, which keep them away from politics and wars. They also spend most of their time in the Celestial Library, studying the world and re-studying the cosmos.

### Strains

The choir is divided into three strains, or classes, which vary among their functions. Are they:

* **Scholars**: Always studying the Megaverse and the human race, secluded in their sacred libraries. Described as introspective and perfectionists.
* **Scribes**: Responsible for translating the Scholars' notes, immortalizing them in beautiful words.
* **Kãla**: Malakhs archaeologists, this strain roams space seeking information from places unexplored by angels.

## Known Malakh

* Camael - Prince
* Legion- Fallen
* Caim - Fallen
* Murmur - Fallen
* Amy - Fallen
* Iuvart - Fallen
Mulciber

**Mulciber** is one of the fallen angels, who serves in the legion of Mammon. Before his fall, Mulciber was an angel in Heaven who served as the chief architect of heaven, designing the countless palaces in the celestial plane so that he may honor God.

## History

### Fall from Grace

When Mulciber was an Angel in Heaven, he was the chief architect who designed the countless palaces in order to honor God. During the War in Heaven he decided to side with Lucifer, and he was cast into Hell among so many others.

### Architect of Hell

In Hell, he continued being an architect and led the construction of Pandemonium, the new capital of Hell, which was built within one hour, but is greater than any known human structure in scope. Compared to other many of the other demons in Hell, he was very active during this period.

Tiamat

**Tiamat**, also known as **Tehom**, is the Primordial goddess of the ocean, and the salt water which roared as it flowed in the original Khaos of creation. She is also known as the Queen of Chaos and the Mother of Dragons, though she was also once known as a Mother Goddess, but this title has been long forgotten.

## Overview

She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. She is referred to as a woman and described as "the glistening one". It is suggested that there are two parts to the Tiamat mythos. In the first, she is a creator goddess, through a sacred marriage between different waters, peacefully creating the cosmos through successive generations. In the second Chaoskampf Tiamat is considered the monstrous embodiment of primordial chaos. Some sources identify her with images of a sea serpent or dragon.

## Description

Tiamat has been commonly portrayed as either a sea serpent or a dragon. Her physical description includes a tail, a thigh, "lower parts" (which shake together), a belly, an udder, ribs, a neck, a neck, and several eyes, nostrils, and mouths, as well as insides (possibly "entrails") such as a heart, arteries, and blood.

Her other form is unique, she had one head for each primary color of the most common species of Chromatic Dragons (black, blue, green, red, white). Each head was able to operate entirely independently of each other and had the powers of a member of the respective race of dragonkind. Her body also had traits in common with a Wyvern, including a long tail tipped with a poisonous stinger.

However, there are those who disagree with this depiction of Tiamat, and believe her to have manifested in the form of a radiant and divine woman.

Ycnágnnisssz

**Ycnágnnisssz** is a cosmic, boundless and almost perfect Outer God of insane proportions, as well as the other progenitor of the Lovecraftian pantheon besides Azathoth.

## Overview

Ycnágnnisssz is a being originating from the Xoth System, where Idh-yaa also dwells and thus it was considered its older sibling. The Dark Star of Xoth, such an ever consuming parasite floating in this vast celestial sea, controlled by the endlessly and rampantly expanding whore with the infinite hands. And yet, even that multi-dimensional form, that amorphous puppeteer; it is but an echo of its true self. It is close to omnipotent, beyond the power of its children and descendants and is only semi-restricted by Azathoth.

## Appearance

Ycnagnnissz's true form is as incomprehensible as Azathoth's. It is perceived differently by all, to the point where some lesser beings cannot even determine on what plane of existence it exists or if it exists at all.

## Personality

Ycnágnnisssz is said to have more intellect than Azathoth, as her mind was not destroyed by her power, though it is deaf to all of Creation, not living or existing, but simply being in a world of muted ignorance and isolation. She very faintly holds some reasoning, control and morale. It is a sentient force that is barely able to notice the effects it has on reality.

## Ycnágnnisssz

### Aliases

Deaf Genius God, Daemon Sultana, the Infinite Handed Whore, Abhoth, Ubbo-Sathla, Second Progenitor of Lovecraft, The Outverse Hole, Unnamed Darkness, Azathot, Queen of Outerverse

Kokabiel

**Kokabiel** is considered to be the 'angel of the stars,' along with being a fallen angel, and the fourth mentioned of the 20 Watcher leaders of the 200 fallen angels in the *Book of Enoch*.

## Overview

His name is generally translated as "star of God," which is fitting since it has been said that Kokabiel taught astrology to his associates as well as the humans. Like his fellow Watchers, he was subdued by the Heavenly Host and imprisoned within Sheol for his transgressions against God and Heaven.

According to the *Book of Enoch*, as well as the angel Raziel, Kokabiel is a holy angel; in other apocryphal lore, however, he is generally considered to be fallen. Kokabiel is said to command an army of 365,000 spirits in the Underworld despite the fact that he was imprisoned within Sheol alongside his fellow fallen Watchers.
Tamiel

**Tamiel**, also known as **Tumiel**, **Tâmîêl**, **Kasdaye**, **Kasdeja** or **Kasyade**, known as the **Angel of the Unseen**, is a fallen angel of the Grigori, the fifth mentioned of the 20 Watchers of the 200 fallen angels in the *Book of Enoch*.

## Overview

Tamiel is described as "God is Perfect" or "Perfection of God" (the combination of tamiym and El-God). Tamiel was known to put humans into a dream state of their perfect Heaven. Tamiel did this for thousands of years under a variety of different names.

Tamiel was attributed as a teacher of astronomy. He also taught "the children of men all of the wicked strikes of spirits, [the strikes of demons, and the strikes of the embryo in the womb so that it may pass away (abortion), and the strikes of the soul, the bites of the serpent, and the strikes which befall through the noontide heat, [which is called] the son of the serpent named Taba'et (meaning male)" during the days of Noah, not the days of Jared.
Abdiel

**Abdiel**, name meaning "Servant of God", is a high-ranking angel or seraph that is known for having resisted Lucifer and Satan's temptation into joining their cause to dethrone God and destroy humanity respectively.

## Overview

Abdiel denounces Satan after hearing him incite revolt among the angels, and abandons Lucifer to bring the news of his defection to God. However, when she arrives, he finds that preparations are already underway for battle. In the ensuing fight, Abdiel smites fallen angels such as Moloch, Arioch, and presumably among others.

Abdiel even had a hand unleashing a strike against Satan himself in a vain attempt to bring him down with the aid of Ariel and Hasmed. Ariel subdued Satan by one arm while Hasmed subdued him by the other arm, giving Abdiel an opening for him to drive her sword into his chest.

However, this only served to infuriate Satan as the Arbiter let out a terrible hollar that shook the stars and made angels flee in terror, knocking back Abdiel before doing the same to Hasmed and Ariel. Abdiel was said to have been incapacitated by Satan's roar and the sound followed him throughout the immortal eons of her existence.
