Line of Melchizedek (Also known as the Order of Melchizedek or merely The Order) – an ancient sect of King-Priests that dates from before the time of Abraham. Their charge is to protect powerful and ancient sacred relics (one being the mythical Gateway to the Third Heaven). Those of the line of Melchizedek are blessed with extraordinary strength. Their greatest strength however is that they excel beyond all mortals at the art of war. This is because their purpose is to wage war against the forces of evil. None surpass their skill with the sword, with the spear, with the bow, or nearly any weapon. They are obsessed with striving to remain holy. Before the time of Abraham, their sect was the emissaries of the One True God. They hold fast to the traditions brought from that era, seeking to live blameless lives according to the Law. They also carry immense authority and power in the spiritual realm. They know the ancient utterances and tongues that invoke power and destruction. They have a very limited control over matter in the Earthly realm. They rarely use these powers though because merely their presence strikes fear into most common spirits. They are few in number and are decreasing. Yet they still have a great role to play in the future of the world.

 

Rephaim – in the recent past they were known as vampires, but in ancient days they were called the Nephilim or the Rephaim. When fallen angels came unto women, this abominable race was founded. When a person of the Rephaim is born they has no soul; this is because the fallen angels who started the race had no soul. Thus, in order to live they must drink the blood of the living. At first they were born as giants and they laid waste to the land wherever they went. But after near extermination by the Hebrews, and intermingling with mortals, most Rephaim have no distinguishing physical features. They do retain some amazing capabilities from their ancestors however. They are remarkably strong; strong enough that the greatest of the Rephaim have taken on angels in battle. Also they are astonishingly fast. Having the supernatural coursing through their veins, they are keenly aware of the spiritual world around them, and they know angel from demon, and mortal from those who are not of this world. Their power is great, yet following the actions of their fathers they are evil. Each goes through a Rite of Passage, once they reach a certain age, where they must choose the side that they belong too. None have ever chosen the side of Righteousness; in fact few believe that they can. It is rumored that they can turn (to the side of Good), but none can remember having seen that happen.

.

Seraphim – The Fiery Ones who stand in the presence of the Lord. The most powerful of all angels, most of the Seraphim have the sole duty of eternally declaring the Holiness of God before His throne. Immense in stature and terrifying in appearance, often emblazoned with Holy Fire, only a few have been delegated to the realm of Earth. Though it is their wish that the Earthly drama be ended so that they may return to once more fly and sing songs before the Throne of the Most High, they dwell in the Earthly realm (though rarely among men) to serve the purpose that God has given them. Their presence helps to balance the scale between the forces of Good and Evil; for many powerful angels fell and subsequently became great demons. No one has ever fought the Seraphim and won. Yet they have only been engaged in battle once; and that was to expel Lucifer, the head of the Seraphim from the Heavenly realm.

 

Cherubim – Though not nearly as powerful as the Seraphim, it is the duty of the Cherubim to guard the Holiness of the Throne of God and to shield the mortal world from its unbearable brilliance. In the ancient days when The Most High rode forth from heaven, they served as His chariot. They are the Angels of Light and their glory, when revealed, is close to unbearable. Similar to the Seraphim, all save few of these remain in the Third Heaven. Those that have come to Earth have done so because of their love for all the acts of God; particularly His creation that was made in His own image. Because of this, they serve and fight on the Earth for the betterment of mankind and against the forces of Evil. These are the most powerful of angels that one might encounter (since it is exceedingly rare – and usually fatal – to encounter a seraphim). These Angels of Light have laid waste to many strongholds; it was their principal involvement at the Battle of Babylon that brought that nation to its knees. Some of the greatest of this rank include Uriel the Great and Abaddon, a fallen cherub known as the Angel of the Abyss.

 

Archangel – Archangels are the overseers – commanders if you will – of the large body of angelic forces. Larger, faster, and stronger than the common angels, these leaders coordinate the Will of God through the Heavenly Host. These are the battle hardened generals who have fought Evil since the beginning. They look forward to the day when they too will stand before God’s presence again and proclaim His glory. The chief of all archangels is the High Arch Angel Michael. Over the eons through Righteous battle he has risen to the level where he can challenge even the Cherubim.

 

Angel – a supernatural being of immense strength and power over the earthly realm. With the ability of flight due to their wings, they fight with weapons forged from the Ancient Days. This is because hardly anything of the Earthly realm can hurt them; yet a sword forged in the Heavenly fires (or the Fires of the Abyss) is a deadly opponent. When vanquished these spirits return to the place of their origin permanently to await the Day of Judgment. Angels return the Heavenly realm (unfulfilled however because their purpose had not been accomplished) and demons are thrown into Hades to be tormented until the Last Day. Angels, good and evil, have the ability to assume any human form they wish and can render themselves invisible to the common mortal at will. However, those with seeing eyes are able to divine their presence easily.

 

Demons – see angels. They are fallen angels who now fight for the side of darkness. They are utterly evil and seek any opportunity to destroy man or the Forces of Light.

 

Mage – a person who is able to tap into the evil power of the supernatural. Whereas The Order derive their power merely from their righteousness, demons imbue power unto those who can utter the ancient words. Since fallen angels were once angels and had power over the material realm, there are ancient incantations and utterances that a mortal can use to temporarily borrow this power from the spiritual world. Opposite of The Order, those of the Order of Mages derive their power not only from their extensive memorized knowledge of the ancient words, but also by their utter wickedness. Though one need not be exceedingly evil in order to use this power – often referred to as “magic” – the more powerful one gets, the more evil one becomes.

 

ArchMages – a person who has reached the upper levels of the Order of the Mages. Often persons who have reached this level partner with a specific demon of large power. With their wills combined – often through possession – in the mortal realm they have more power together than they would separate. Also at that level Archmages are cannot use incantations with immense power by pulling power just from the dark realm; they can only achieve higher power by combining their own wickedness with that of a demon. They think that they are equal partners in the matter, but in all situations it is the demon who is in control and secretly despises and will destroy the Archmage when they is no longer needed.  

 

Necromancers – a priest of the underworld. Whereas a mage taps into the power of the underworld, a necromancer studies the dark arts of sorcery until they are at the point where they can enslave lower demons to do their beckoning. Advanced necromancers have can control demons to the point that they can animate dead bodies.

 

The Gideons Templar – sect of devout Christians who reside in secret locations worldwide. They are mortals; mortals who have dedicated their lives to aid in spiritual battle. They too are a society that has been around for centuries. After the death of Jesus this group was formed to play the specific role of providing mortal forces to aid in battle against the Forces of Darkness. Guided by their founder, an ancient jewish mystic named Elijah ben Sirah, they are armed not only with prayer but mystical armor that is secretly blessed by the Pope himself when they are confirmed. They can be compared to knights but of the modern age. At any given time there are 343 Gideons Templar – 7 times 7 times 7. It is a birth rite passed onto the first born son or next closest of kin. They are gifted with extended life and usually live to be at least 200 years old. Each has a hand fashioned sword - forged in the forgotten ways that are prime for killing demons - that has imbedded in its hilt a shard from the Cross of Christ. They receive their orders from Gabriel who serves as the head messenger for Michael the Archangel. Though demons often discredit and underestimate them, many a demon has been vanquished because of the Gideons Templar; they are a great force to be reckoned with.

Aelion – By blood, He is the last surviving member of the Line of Melchizedek. He is the firstborn of four children of his father Ailion. He had two brothers and one sister – however both brothers were slain in battle. He alone remains to carry on the blood-line; and he must not fail. He is fanatical in his passion for keeping tradition and carrying on the time-honored ways of his fore-fathers. His skill with the sword is unparalleled and he is a master tactician. He wields the original sword of Melchizedek. He is practiced in all areas of weaponry and of the forging of weapons. He knows all the Holy utterances (at least he thinks) and Words of Power. He is capable of limited control over matter – he was not able to complete full training in this before his father was murdered. He seeks with his entire being to defeat the forces of Evil. He has however an unhealthy obsession with revenge; he seeks vengeance on those who on one evil night struck down his father and raped his mother (whom died later during childbirth). Aelion, when enraged with righteous anger is nearly unstoppable for mortal (and many immortal) forces.

 

Yehiel – sister to Aelion, she is gifted with the rare power of great natural control of the Earthly realm – it is called the Gift of Light. Mostly through the ability to form force fields, it is called this because of the person’s unique ability to control light – the most powerful manifestation being lightning. Besides these things however, Yehiel is notably more weak in other areas. She is one however that strives for righteousness; though not always the way Aelion would wish her too. She is more unconventional and seeks to push the boundaries. Though respecting the Old Ways, she continually finds ways to improvise. She also seems to have a limited Gift of Sight; she is able to prophetically see what will happen in the future before it happens. Though often her ability only extends a few seconds or minutes into the future (which sometimes aids in battle), occasionally she will have a vision about much future times to come. Overall she is a force to be reckoned with and a valuable asset to have on the side of Good.

 

Earthrenders – these are 15 ft tall mystical beings made of stone. With low intelligence, they were created by a great Archmage in ancient times to destroy enemy cities. They have incredible strength and invulnerability, as well as surprising speed. After destroying much of the Egyptian countryside, they were imprisoned by rival mages in a subterranean prison under the Atlantic Ocean. The prison was created by ten great mages, and was essentially an air pocket deep in the crust of the earth. The purpose of the Earthrenders was to destroy; so after being imprisoned they immediately began to dig their way out. With all six of the Earthrenders working, it took 5000 years to dig themselves out and into the bottom of the Atlantic – which brings them to present day.  

 

The Wind – the legendary earthbound demon, whose angelic name is Aaen. After denouncing his master Lucifer, this cherub ended up on earth through means unknown. He retains all of his angelic powers save invulnerability. Nevertheless, he is one of the most fabled and feared combatants on the face of the earth. He can move nearly at the speed of thought, his sword can shave electrons from their orbits, his strength is almost unparalleled, and his wings allow him flight. Though he is not for the Forces of Light, he neither fights for the Forces of Darkness – a renegade, the Forces of Darkness want him dead, so he lives in complete seclusion in a tall white spire. The spire, though not invisible, is secluded in such a way that no one has ever located it. Occasionally, the Wind breaks his seclusion when the opportunity for redemption – or vengeance – presents itself.

 

Abaddon – the Angel of the Abyss. He derives his power from darkness, and was once a cherub in Heaven. Though currently bound in Hades, he awaits the day where his minions will free him to engage in a final War against Heaven. A being of immense power in evil (which has merely grown with the passage of time), one hammer-blow from the dreaded Nakam (his war-hammer, whose name means revenge) is enough to shake the foundations of a continent. The Forces of Heaven seek to keep him imprisoned at all costs.   

 

Xaron – the most power necromancer alive. He has mystical objects which increase his physical abilities (such as an enchanted skull helmet) and he is an adept fighter. His plans are unknown…but also unopposed.

 

Vadros – the most powerful villain in the current world. He is very secretive and subtle, but extremely powerful nonetheless. The exact nature of his abilities is unknown, but what it is known is quite frightening. He seems to have the ability to harness the life force, or soul, of an unlimited number beings (those who are not righteous) and enhance it to use as his own. In effect he drains a person of their own life energy and adds it two his own temporarily. The range of his life force drawing abilities is seemingly unlimited. Upon a few occasions Vadros has drawn upon this power so much, that hundreds of those upon whom he was drawing power died instantly. With this power he is able to generate explosive like blasts that resonate in the physical and spiritual realm. This ability makes Vadros extremely powerful and dangerous. In his last known battle against the forces of good, he generated a gigantic napalm-like explosion that turned an acre of desert into glass and took the life force of five thousand innocents.

 

The Watchers – since the moment man fell, these angels have been entrusted with the duty of ensuring the well being of man. When Adam sinned, they were given the bodies of earthly men so that they could blend seamlessly in with them. They are called the Watchers because they have catalogued in an immense library all the works of Men since the beginning. They know the going in and the going out of men and all their ways; they perhaps are the source of the greatest wisdom to be found on Earth. Though given temporary mortal bodies, they are also gifted with amazing powers (since at core they are still angels). All of their senses are heightened to a supernatural extent – this is to give them better ability to watch over humankind. They are given strict rules not to intervene in the plight of man unless the need is dire. This has at times caused great conflict in the heavenly realm between the archangels and The Watchers. Some of the Archangels have wondered if The Watchers have indeed forgotten that they are angels since they have been human for so long. No one is sure of the exact powers of The Watchers – though it is rumored that they can hear a pin drop among a large city a mile away, that they can single-handedly take on an army of 185,000 men, and are invulnerable to magic. (Note: the 185,000 rumor is true. Isaiah records this in his book. When Jerusalem was under siege y the Assyrians – and Vadros – one of the three watchers slaughtered 185,000 men in a single night)

 

Uziel – an angel in the prestiged battalion of Michael the archangel. Uziel means “The Lord is my Strength” – this is evident with his fighting skill because though he is decently skilled with the sword, it is his incredible strength that makes him unique. He is gruff and sees things strictly in black and white. He is not subtle in the least and is quick to use the sword. He takes great pleasure in banishing demons and would rather lop of the head of a demon than enjoy an unhindered flight through the clouds (which most angels love more than anything).     

 

Werewolves – in ancient times a powerful necromancer animated a corpse that he made assume the form of a wolf. Unable to control it, the wolf-man went on to create havoc for the entire country side until it was finally slain by valiant knight. Unfortunately it was after the wolf had wreaked its chaos – a child was born to an unfortunate woman whom the wolf had encountered. Such was the origin of the werewolves. Because the powerful incantation that was used to create the first wolf-man had required the light of the full moon, all werewolves (if they are in human form) cannot resist a transformation into a werewolf when a full moon rises. Otherwise they are fully capable of assuming a normal human form and can transform at will. When transformed their ferociousness is unparalleled.

 

The Angel of Death – his legendary name is Azrael, but in fear most simply refer to him as Acimah which means “The Lord will Judge”. Though an Angel of Heaven, Acimah is a silent and mysterious being. Though he is quick to give glory to the Almighty, rarely does this one smile; perhaps he will not do so until his job is completed. Grim and rough, extremely tall yet lanky, good yet dark in a way, there are none – save the kind hearted Michael – who seek to associate with him. When a soul dies, Acimah either brings this soul to the heavenly realm or escorts it to Hades (it is God’s will that he not be touched by the Forces of Evil while he performs his duty). Acimah is a powerful being and alone among the angels is able to be in more than one place at one time. This ability is limited however; he has unlimited ability to escort the dead to their resting place, but if many people die at the same time he is strained to maintain his presence elsewhere (in lending his hand in fighting battles for example). He is a great asset in battle however – having 3 or 4 Acimah’s fighting at the same time for the forces of Heaven is a great advantage.

 

Semes – one of the greatest fighters of the Gideons Templar. He is 120 years old and in the prime of his life. Personally having vanquished over 100 demons and 50 vampires (the current running record), Semes – whose name means Sun – is a head-sure fighter who does not think twice about plunging into battle. Though he is a great warrior, he is not always the wisest, and has on a handful of occasions almost gotten himself killed by being a too aggressive. Only his great skill as a warrior – and his powerful armor (which was the first forged about 2000 years ago) – saved him. He knows Aelion but does not always get along with him. He is always in search of the next minion of darkness that he can send back to the Abyss.

 

Gaon – one of the most dangerous vampires. Extremely smart and quick, he has eluded the grasp of Aelion and the Gideons Templar for many years. The mastermind behind many vampire ambushes and general mayhem, he is perhaps one of the most wanted vampires alive. Chillingly cold and emotionless, he cares nothing except for his own pleasure and advancement – he is evil through and through.

 

Natali – a human turned vampire, Natali (whose name means My Burden) has gained the strength and powers of a vampire but has also gained the rejection of the outside world. The minute a vampire shows its face publicly it is usually found and killed by someone of the Forces of Light (anyone for the side of Heaven). Because of this she resent her situation and the side of Good and in many ways has become evil. Yet at her core she may not really be evil. Perhaps one of the most skilled at martial arts among the Rephaim the future may hold much for her.

 

Shade – no one knows this man’s real name. No one even knows if he has a name. His history and past is unknown. What is known about him is that he is a one-man vigilante. He operates only at night; no one has ever found him during the day. He dedicates his entire life to single-handedly killing all who have any association with Evil. Be they human, werewolf, vampire, demon, etc, he will pursue them and destroy them. He is an expert bowman, acrobat and swordsman. He speaks little for he is a mute. No one knows how his blades can cut down the demons or how he seems to be impervious to magic. It is known that his body is covered in ancient angelic runes and Hebrew scripts. Perhaps it is these that gives him protection, but no one is sure. All that is known is that when Shade shows up, evil things die. The most surprising thing is that besides his imperviousness to magic, he seems to have no other powers (though his extensive array of gadgets might be counted as one). The controversy is that Shade takes all law into his own hands; he acts as judge, jury, and executioner in all cases. Some regard him as more a hindrance than a help. Regardless, at the mention of this mysterious Shade, the Forces of Darkness always tremble.

 

Tslmona – a dark force of terrible power. Both a necromancer and a mage (unheard of since the creation of the world) she commands many deep and dark powers. Rather than showing outright aggression, Tslmona prefers to extend her powers unbeknownst to others to all facets of mankind. A mastermind behind all kinds of evil, no one is sure just how far her influence reaches. With the authority to command demons, usher in temporary darkness at will, and to create temporary minions from the darkness, none question her evil intention is to rule the world. Elusive, few have ever been able to pin down her location long enough to engage her in direct battle. More often you find yourself fighting her many minions. A rival to Vadros, she is another one of the most powerful villains in the current world.

 

Lucifer – the ex-head of the Seraphim, Lucifer fell from Heaven and took one third of the angels with him; they have all subsequently become demons. Immensly powerful, it is His goal to destroy everything having to do with Heaven and God; to lay utter ruin to all who claim righteousness. He is the leader and mastermind of the Forces of Darkness in the present world. Of all created beings he is the most powerful and seeks to take the Throne of the Most High for himself. After his rebellion against Heaven, he battled the Seraphim for entrance to the Throne. However the combined might of all the Seraphim greatly weakened him. At last he was cast out of heaven, not by the Seraphim, but Michael the Archangel when in a surprise move rallied his mighty sword against the almost beaten Lucifer, throwing him out of the heavenly realm. The remaining angels also cast out the one third who had rebelled with him. Lucifer has a special hatred for Michael and seeks to bring him to ruin whenever possible.  

Redemption – humans have been given the special gift of being able to be redeemed. This does not extend to all beings. The rephaim, having no soul, cannot be redeemed. The ability to have a soul is passed down from father to son (or daughter), so it is thought. That is why when the fallen angels came unto women their children did not have souls. However, some think that the soul of the mother may come into play; the legend for the Rephaim is that if one chooses the Path of Righteousness during their Right of Passage, then one can be redeemed. This legend has since fallen out of common knowledge. The angels who actively took part in the rebellion with Lucifer cannot be redeemed. Angels in general are set in the ways that they currently are. However, some angels have left heaven out of their own will. These angels will be cast into the Abyss when the Day of Judgment comes unless the become redeemed. Werewolves are pretty much animals; they do not have souls and cannot be redeemed. The meaning of redemption is being accepted into heaven and/or being given a soul.  

 

Transformation – some beings are capable of changing their form. Angels are capable of changing their outward appearance; their face remains the same but they can assume the garb of a beggar, or a millionaire of they so wish. Demons can do the same, but have had the opportunity to figure out more deceitful ways to change shape; they can also transform into a more hideous appearance which is more gargoyle like. In this form they often have more physical power. Werewolves can transform from their own human form to a wolf whenever they want. However, when a full moon rises, they must turn into their wolf form. The only transformation the vampires have is with their face – when feeding it assumes a more hideous appearance with mouth drawn back to allow the incisor teeth to better puncture a blood vessel. During feeding times their eyes are known to turn red.

His name is Raamiel. In mystical teachings this was the name of the Angel given charge over Thunder. Here is the account of his origins.

 

Ancestry: His father was none other than Asmodius – the pure-blood Rephaim warrior who traced his blood line back to the leader of the angels that fell from heaven and came unto women. Asmodius serves as somewhat of a figurehead to all Rephaim, being of great heritage. Inherently evil, Asmodius serves as an example of the cruelty and abominations that the Rephaim are. He has personally slain 10 persons of great lineage in the Order – a great feat for any mortal. Long he was a bane to all who walked the Earth. Though Asmodius had a harem of women at his call, one particular night, drunk on wine, he sought to feed and have his pleasures fulfilled by a human woman; whether with her will or against it. Having seen a woman of great beauty that night, hungrily he followed her back to her house. Unbeknownst to Asmodius, that night he had stumbled into the house of the pure line of the Order of Melchizedek. Unfortunately, the father and the first born had left momentarily for unknown reasons, leaving the mother, daughter and two sons alone. The children were not yet mature and stood no chance against Asmodius. He slew the two boys readily and easily. The girl hid and Asmodius could not find her. He then took the lady for himself. As he was leaving the father, Ailion, and the son, Aelion, returned. Enraged, Ailion single-handedly battled Asmodius. Blinded by his rage however, Asmodius struck Ailion with a mortal blow. Young Aelion, unseen by Asmodius as he stumbled away wounded, was infuriated and grabbing the fabled Sword of Melchizedek from his father’s dead hands, ran Asmodius through with it, clean to the hilt. Thus Asmodius and Ailion died. The mother Ariel, following the time-honored code of the Line of Melchizedek, did not kill the baby as it grew inside her; for such was murder before the eyes of the Lord. Yet none knew what would come forth from her – for she was of the Holy Line of Melchizedek and Asmodius was of the Rephaim. Sadly, the consequences of Asmodius’ evil ran far, for Ariel died in childbirth. Yet her baby lived, and with her dieing breath she named him Raamiel.

 

History: From the moment he was born, Raamiel knew he was different. This became more obvious as time progressed. He was abnormally strong – stronger than any of The Order even as a teenager. He did not require the blood of living so it seemed – for lived quite normally off of normal food. He was swift for sure, yet the best of The Order could still outmatch him. Most of the elders knew of Raamiel’s past, and for such reasons he was often viewed as an outcast. In fact, some of the Elders objected to Raamiel living among them. Yet because of the high position of Ailion and the high regard of Ariel, The Order took him in and trained him in their ways. He became at expert swordsman and forger – his blade was swift and amazed even the Elders of the Order. He had an instinctual skill in combat that was very obvious. However, what worried The Order was his inklings of his evil nature. He was not one to follow rules and received much discipline as a child. At the age of sixteen, when those of the Rephaim usually go through their Rite of Passage, Raamiel did not, but grew increasingly restless. Eventually, despite the love the Order had given him, Raamiel was tired of following orders. He ran away and soon found himself amongst a dark crowd. Not much is known about him during this time, however he came across many a dark and dangerous thing.

It was during this time that he first drank the life-blood of another; it was invigorating for him and seemed to impart renewed strength in him. However, the side effect was that it loosed his mind and his conscious and the evil in him deepened. After many a year on the streets, and being subsequently very hardened in consequence, Raamiel’s soul (and he did have one) had grown weary of the evil. There was also a good in him that would not be vanquished; thus he started in his solo wanderings across the Earth. During his solo wanderings, whenever Raamiel witnessed evil about to be accomplished, he stopped it; whenever he witnessed it done, he punished. He found that this too seemed to swell within him a renewed strength. Yet of his soul and of his destiny he did not understand. He was in many ways lost.

After his wanderings he came again to The Order. There he met Aelion, full grown, whom he had not seen since he was a boy. As a youngsters, Aelion had always been a little stand-offish towards him; for he knew the circumstances of his birth. Aelion had always been one to go by the books. Raamiel was not. Though Aelion and Raamiel never quite got along, Aelion still embraced his childhood companion upon arrival. Aelion had grown great in stature and seemed to fulfill the legends of those old warriors of the Order; built strong and tall, stocky yet flexible, with eyes of brown fervor and hair long and black, Aelion stood a head taller than the rest of his people and of Raamiel. Yehiel had blossomed in the years that had past into a tall and slender figure, with long flowing black hair and piercing and gentle eyes that seemed to be able to see straight through a person to their soul. Though a constant and friendly childhood companion to Raamiel, Raamiel was still shocked at the beauty which dwelt within her.

The Order had grown smaller since Raamiel had left, for many a valiant warrior had fallen by demon-sword or the hands of other evils. Aelion of course seemed not to have a scratch on him, and you could tell that he felt incomplete without the presence of his sword. It was then that he informed Raamiel of the present evils and that brings us to present day.

There are great forces at work in present day and ancient evils arising from times past.

Vadros, one of the most dangerous forces at times present, has again come forth and is exterting his power in parts of the world. Yehiel had forseen the imminent return of ancient forces known as Earthrenders. Their presence on the Earth could not be underestimated. The Rephaim seem to be increasing in number – faster than the forces of Good can control it. About this Raamiel is torn, for he shares a certain kinship with them. In many ways he identifies more with the side of Evil than that of Good.

            Perhaps of greatest importance is that through knowledge found by the Gideons Templar, The Order has become aware of a plot to free Abaddon from the Abyss before his time, thus unleashing Armageddon upon the Earth and the rule of Evil. Tslmona seems to be the mastermind behind the plot but few are sure.

            The plot unfolds as the forces of Evil begin to make inroads against the weakened and battle weary forces of Good and the choice Raamiel must make between them.
