Seraphim. A class of angel found upon the highest tier of Heaven and, very rarely, upon Earth.
Seventh Law. The Seventh Law was instituted by the Creator. The intent to is to prevent other, potentially dangerous entities from crossing over into the plane of Mankind by restricting travel through the Eye of God (the
Veils). According to this law, the more powerful the entity, the more difficult it is to navigate the Eye of God.
Sitra Akhra. The dwelling place of Legion. A foul plane of existence so far removed from Heaven, its inhabitants refuse to acknowledge the existence of God.
Soldier (demon). A lesser demon charged with protecting Greater Demons, or Demon Lords. Vicious, and cruel in the extreme. Most commonly manifest in physical form upon Earth, but possess the ability to escape human notice.
Throne. A class of angel found upon the middle tier of Heaven and often upon Earth. One of the classes commonly referred to as Guardian Angels.
Usurper. A new challenger has emerged to challenge the God for the Throne of Heaven, much as Lucifer did in the early days of Creation. It is believed he commands between a third and half of all heavenly angels. His name and class is currently unknown.
Veils. The common name for the Eye of God.
Virtue. A class of angel found upon the lowest tier of Heaven and often upon Earth.
Void. An empty expanse, without any reference to Time or Space, and existing outside any known natural law. Some angels believe this place is the final resting place for their deceased kin.
Watchers. A modern-day militarist religious order with ancient roots, traced directly to the original order of Knights Templar. Oddly enough, these righteous warrior-priests took for themselves the name Watchers, as a reference to the Nephilim, a group of angels whom had taken human wives in the early days of humanity, and thus fell out of favor with the Creator. The reason is unclear.
The church outlawed the Order and demanded they disband in the fifteenth century. Modern descendents still carry on the highly secretive mission of the Order. The Watchers are believed to possess powerful religious artifacts taken from eleventh- and twelfth-century Jerusalem and the latter-day French government, as well as the Vatican, is rumored to have a serious interest in recovering these artifacts.
Word of Power. Words spoken in the "tongue of angels" that allow these celestial beings to command vast elemental power.
