War in Heaven
https://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n231/GeneralHankerchief/War%20in%20Heaven/heaven33.jpg
Lucifer awoke.
He gazed at his surroundings, eyes blinking, as if he had never seen such a sight before. The glory and beauty of Heaven is impossible to describe from a human perspective, yet the imagery is much the same. Endless green fields occasionally dotted with trees, producing sweet fruit and honey. Pleasant rolling hills that extended off into the distance, some becoming mighty mountains, some of them trailing off until they met the sparkling gold horizon. Thick forests, teeming with life, the trees letting just enough light in where the entire area is bathed with an ethereal green-gold light. White shores of the finest sand imaginable leading into a calm, impossibly blue ocean. Lucifer saw all of this, and saw that it was good.
Yet, even these wondrous sights were nothing in comparison to the centerpiece of Heaven itself: The golden Throne of God, resplendent in its glory, its size indescribable. It shined and glimmered, with not a single imperfection to be found anywhere on or beneath its surface. Even Lucifer, known as the Morning Star for being the brightest and most beautiful angel of them all, had to mask his eyes to protect himself from the Throne's glimmer.
Desiring not to take part in the spontaneous and frequent "gloria"s that were constantly happening in Heaven exalting the Creator, Lucifer instead turned away from the Throne to one of Heaven's pools, wishing himself a drink of water to completely clear his head. Bending down to drink, he paused, seeing an odd shape facing up at him from the completely still pool. Lucifer was immediately struck by this shape's beauty; it reminded him of his angelic brethren, only far more fair. Puzzled, Lucifer moved his head left, wishing to get a better view of this figure, but the figure flawlessly mimicked his movements in the undisturbed water. Now curious, he moved his head right, and then back and forward, the figure in the water each time making the exact same movements at the exact same time. He closed one eye. The figure did the same.
Taking his eyes away from the figure, Lucifer sat up, realizing the implications of what he had just seen. "O Truth!" he said to himself, "Surely fate has smiled upon me, for if this is truly my own visage that I have spied upon, then I find myself fairer and more resplendent than all!" He knelt back down to the pool, admiring his reflection for another minute before finally taking a drink, waiting for the rippling water to settle down.
After another period of self-admiration, another line of thoughts sprung up in his head, these far more sinister than their predecessors. "And yet... at the same time, God defies fate by denying me my rightful place amongst the angelic hierarchy. For surely, the most beautiful and brightest angel, the most perfect aspect of creation, should be seated at His right hand, should he not? Yet this is not the case. Certainly, I am an archangel and have certain privileges of rank, but I far outstrip my peers in glory, including even Michael. No, even more. I am more beautiful even than the Son! Yet I do not stand at His right side... why is this so?"
Lucifer paused for a moment, ruminating on the implications of this, before the final, most sinister thought of all hit.
"And if He got this - this, of all! - details wrong, then He is not perfect after all. Surely I must be allowed to ascend to my rightful place."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the days passed on, Lucifer’s forces grew. From gathering his original followers in a remote mountain cave, the rebel angels now possessed one of Heaven’s many fields, privately claiming it as their own and were attracting hundreds of angels a day to their banner. Lucifer predicted that within a few days, he would command a full third of the entire angelic population, truly a force to be reckoned with indeed. After all, if God was truly perfect, then how was it that so high a percentage of His creations were willingly ready to throw off His yoke?
Lucifer gazed over his forces, briefly catching a glimpse of his beautiful face in on particularly polished battle helmet and grinned. Soon, he would have to pick his lieutenants. First, there was Beelzebub. That was beyond question. The Lord of the Flies had been the very first angel that Lucifer had lured over to his side, and he did so without hesitation. While Beelzebub’s military prowess and tactical understanding was slightly above-average at best, the lesser angel’s loyalty was beyond question. Beelzebub had found his new lord, and would serve him far more faithfully than he had ever done so to his previous Lord; he would stay by Lucifer’s side until the end of everything. Surely loyalty counted for something.
Next, there was Mammon. This angel, too, was not the first choice one would have in such a contest as this, but there was no denying that Mammon was highly influential amongst the angels. His penchant for luxury was legendary in the angelic community, somehow managing to secure even the greatest of Heaven’s treasures for himself. Several of the lesser angels, wishing to curry favor amongst Mammon, started to tail him and complete rudimentary tasks for him, getting small tokens in exchange for their labors. Soon, Mammon had built up a minor trade empire, reaping most of the benefits of it for himself. Lucifer had played off Mammon’s greed in order to sway him to his side, promising the angel riches beyond comprehension, treasures that were only hitherto accessible to the Father and the Son. Mammon came over, but he would have to be rewarded with a major position.
Leviathan, one of the water angels, would also receive a command. He had spent much of his time in Heaven’s oceans, immersing himself in it, becoming one with the element of water. It was said that on some days, Leviathan would emerge from the water only to satisfy his hunger, which was always immense. Lucifer was banking on Leviathan’s appetite and mastery of the oceans to sweep away Michael’s forces in mass quantities before they even reached the battlefield.
Moloch was to be one of Lucifer’s most able generals. A very warlike angel by nature, Moloch’s natural personality had been aggressive before the rebellion and had evolved into full-fledged anger as Lucifer’s strength grew. Lucifer had lured Moloch into his camp using a two-pronged method: first, by insinuating that God had masked his true nature and that a Luciferian Heaven would allow it to come out undisturbed; second, by promising him increased strength. Moloch went over easily, and had spent the majority of his time since by felling entire mountains.
Astaroth the shapeshifter would lead a force, as would Abaddon, Angel of the Abyss, as would Belial, whose lewd behavior was becoming well-known indeed in the rebel camp, as would many others. But still Lucifer needed more. The Morning Star wished to be absolutely certain that has rebellion, certainly just, would be successful. And thus he went on a personal recruitment campaign, attempting to lure the archangel Abdiel over to his side.
“Abdiel,” he said, words taking a sickeningly sweet and horribly logical tone to the angel’s ear, “You know that His plan is flawed. You can see it in these very fields just over the hills. If God were indeed perfect, then would there not be a full third of His sentient creation rising up in armed rebellion against Him? If God were indeed perfect, then why does He make the mistake of having his fairest and most powerful angels shut out from the ruling hierarchy, instead letting the power clique of Himself, His Son, and Michael oversee the day-to-day operations of life in Heaven? Why are you and I even here discussing the possibility of rebellion if His plan is not flawed?”
Abdiel, however, was having none of it. “Begone, foul boggart,” he said, driving Lucifer back in shock. Never before had the archangel been repudiated when canvassing for followers. “The Lord works in mysterious ways, even to such beings as you and I, Lucifer. You deny the omnipotence and sovereignty of your and my Creator, the Creator of us all? You only possess the capability to think such rebellious thoughts in the first place because He gave you that capability, because free will is a far more beautiful concept than any of us will ever know or understand. You seek to overthrow Him who sees, knows, and is capable of all? Nothing in all existence is less possible.”
“It is heartening to see your confidence and zeal so placed in your Master,” Lucifer said with a snarl, “but by the end you will find your faith misplaced. I *will* prove His plan wrong and create a new angelic order, and those who were loyal to me from the beginning will be remembered… as will those who opposed me. Think carefully on your decision, Abdiel, you may regret it dearly.”
“As will you, Adversary, and when you finally realize that you have been horribly mistaken about everything, I hope that you have the internal courage to admit it to your misguided followers as well as yourself.” And without another word, Abdiel sped off in the other direction. Lucifer surmised that he would inform Michael and the other angels about what had transpired here. As such, he returned to his own camp, where he was greeted with a thousand cheers and ten thousand swords banging on ten thousand shields. The weaponsmiths had finished their work. The rebel army was ready.
“Prepare for war,” Lucifer said, and the roar of approval could be heard throughout Heaven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abdiel flew as high and fast as he could over Heaven’s great expanse, not wanting to waste any time. Every single second he tarried, Lucifer’s rebellion would grow, that much he was sure of. Abdiel, strong in faith, was not worried about the possibility of an overthrow, rather, he was concerned for the integrity of his fellow angels’ souls. The less that were corrupted by the Morning Star’s lies, the better. Clearing entire fields in seconds, Abdiel made his way towards the very center of Heaven and the Throne of God itself, where nearby the Archangel Michael was sure to be.
“I must see the Archangel!” Abdiel shouted at the Seraphim guards around Michael’s encampment. “I have critical information about an insurrection that must be passed along. In the name of God, let me pass!” The Seraphim, seeing that Abdiel’s heart was true and pure, stepped aside, and in Abdiel flew.
What he saw surprised him greatly: There was a huge encampment filled to the brim with angels; a force that surely matched Lucifer’s in number. Each angel was either armed or in the process of being equipped, and their armaments gleamed equally brightly as did their rebel counterparts’. Dwarfing it all was a gigantic command tent that was sure to contain Michael. Abdiel made his way towards the tent, again guarded by Seraphim, but this time they let him in without a word.
Once inside, Abdiel could not help but gape. He had never seen such a collection of high-ranking angels present in one place before; the only angel of comparable rank that was not present was Lucifer himself. Michael, his true form almost imperceptible thanks to the blazing and radiant glory that surrounded him, looked up and bode Abdiel welcome, motioning Abdiel to join the council. Somewhat taken aback, Abdiel took closer stock of his peers.
The three Great Archangels were the most prominent in the command tent, with Michael the most so. Abdiel, though he would never admit it, and despite his unwavering faith in God, was struck a bit fearful when he was face-to-face with Lucifer. This was perfectly reasonable, as Lucifer was an extremely powerful angel. However, what remained of that fear completely evaporated upon gazing at Michael. The Prince of the angels and High Commander of the Army of Heaven was truly a majestic figure to behold, radiating powerful red light. His sword, unused and at his side, gleamed a soft reddish-light glow, a foreshadowing of the brilliant pure white flame it would radiate when in the heat of battle. Yes, as long as the angels still had Michael on their side, all would be well.
Michael’s second-in-command was the archangel Gabriel, a powerful figure in his own right. If Michael represented fire, Gabriel did so for water, his outer calmness masking his devastating potential. Mainly the Messenger of God, Gabriel was a more-than-capable warrior who had been primarily summoning all angels near and far to assist in the upcoming battle against Lucifer’s legions. If Michael were somehow to fall in combat, Gabriel would take command, where his fighting prowess and communication skills would serve him well.
The last Great Archangel was Raphael, less of a fighter than the other two but could still hold his own. Raphael, who represented air, was more of a healer and a benevolent soul. He also passed on knowledge from any and all possible subjects to those who sought it. These tasks made Raphael a valuable force, and his presence was deeply respected at the council.
Amongst the lesser archangels - of which Abdiel could count himself as company - sat Uriel, who had the sharpest eyes in all of Heaven and could keep an accurate estimation of Lucifer’s current forces, and what they were up to. There was also Seraphiel, chief of all the Seraphim, Metatron, the embodiment of universal understanding and universal knowledge, and Jehoel, who headed all of the Heavenly singing, amongst others.
Abdiel, now realizing that of course the other Archangels would have heard about Lucifer’s rebellion, decided not to say anything after all, and merely waited for Michael to deliver his final opinion. The other archangels remained respectfully silent as the Prince drew himself up.
“The Lord has seen fit to grant us, His eternal subjects, with free will, so that we may do as we please. However, this free will does not grant us the right to rise up and attempt to overthrow He who is both omnipotent and benevolent, He who made us all. These rebellious angels have made their choice – now they are to face the consequences. We shall muster our entire force and meet Lucifer in battle and cleanse this place of his pestilence.” The other angels nodded silently at Michael’s decision, and they filed out of the command tent, one by one.
Quickly and orderly, the loyalist angels organized themselves based on the chain of command, and soon battalions formed and they flew out to one of the particularly large fields that Abdiel had flown over earlier. This field, large and beautiful even by Heaven’s standards, was previously unoccupied but that had since changed, as Lucifer’s army had moved there in force.
The two armies landed, staring at each other, with Michael and Lucifer at their respective heads. The War in Heaven was about to begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview and disclaimer:
This is the second Huge game I have hosted in the Gameroom, after Pirate Ship Mafia last fall. As you might have guessed, it is based off the concept of the War in Heaven, or Lucifer’s rebellion in the pre-Creation era that got him and his followers all cast down into Hell and started the great drama that is existence. The game is based off a number of sources, most notably John Milton’s Paradise Lost. In terms of the mechanics, I’ve borrowed heavily from (of course) Capo di Tutti Capi as well as my own Pirate Ship Mafia. I also owe gratitude to, among other games, Rubicon, Lylat Wars, The Shadow Fort, and A Bridge Zhou Far, whose ideas I have taken and molded in some form or another.
While the game assumes a Christian view of the concepts of angels and Heaven due to the setting, this is for entertainment purposes only and is not an endorsement of any particular view. I have left my own personal religious beliefs out of the game, as should you. Any theological debates outside of roleplaying will not be tolerated. If you wish to discuss such things as the nature of God or whether or not this rebellion is justified or not, the proper place to do so is the Backroom (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?19-Backroom).
Setting:
For those that didn’t read the above story, the game takes place in pre-Creation Heaven. One particular archangel by the name of Lucifer, dissatisfied with his lot in life, has decided to rebel against God, whom he believes is denying his rightful place in the hierarchy of Heaven. Lucifer has gathered a significant amount of followers, most notably Beelzebub and Mammon, and is preparing to make war on the established order.
Opposing him is the triumvirate of Great Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, as well as an amount of Loyalist angels roughly equal to that of Lucifer’s forces. They fight for the natural order as well as the confirmation of God’s sovereignty over all. The recruitments all but complete, there is nothing left to do but fight the greatest and most epic battle existence has ever known.
Basic rules:
One of the main features of War in Heaven is your ability to choose a side: Loyalist or Rebel. There is no guarantee that you will get you side depending on how evenly people split, but your choice will be taken into consideration upon my handing out of roles. Once signing up for the game, you must PM me your choice of preferred side or let me know if you do not have a preference. Failure to do so will result in you being marked down as “no preference”. You may not discuss your choices/make pacts beforehand with anyone. Basically, this means you're picking blind.
At the start of the game, you will be randomly PM’d a role, its description, and both your team and individual victory conditions. Immediately upon doing this, the game will begin. War in Heaven will start with a night phase where you will be able to take part in any of the activities you are able to do under your role PM. The initial night phase will last slightly longer than usual to allow you time to begin sending out feelers and networking. After the night phase, the day phase will take place which will allow you to vote for the person you want to be lynched, as per usual. This cycle will repeat as necessary until the game concludes.
Legions and night actions:
For the normal angels in the game, you cannot complete any night action without assistance of a pre-created group, known as a Legion. A total of either four normal angels of one alignment, or two normal angels and one minor archangel may band together to form a Legion. Once a Legion has been formed, it can sustain one casualty and still be able to operate as normal. However, if it sustains two casualties (or it loses a minor archangel, which acts as two normal angels), the Legion is considered dissolved.
Legions may perform the following actions at night:
Kill one target per night OR
Protect one target per night OR
(with Minor archangel only) Investigate one target per night to determine a character’s alignment
Minor and Major Archangels also have individual powers that will be detailed further on. Unless otherwise noted in your role PM, you may only perform ONE action per night.
When sending me your orders PM you must send me the exact specifics: What you are doing, the name of every person who is doing it with you, and who you are doing it to. If there is miscommunication and the orders do not match up, they will not be executed, and you are put at a slight risk of dying at night. Beware!
Example orders PM:
GH – Night 3 orders
Tonight, GeneralHankerchief, Yaseikhaan, Sigurd, and Seamus Fermanagh will kill TinCow.
At the end of every night I will send feedback PMs detailing how successful you were at night. If the group failed, I will not reveal what exactly what went wrong.
Voting:
Voting is your primary action in the day phases. When voting for a player to be lynched, you must do so in the standard style:
Vote: GeneralHankerchief
Should you wish to change your vote at any point in the day phase, you must do so as follows IN A NEW POST:
Unvote: GeneralHankerchief
Vote: TosaInu
You may also Vote: Abstain if you have no preference as to who is lynched. However, voting for “No Lynch” is not allowed. All votes must be bolded and votes may not be edited. To do so risks the wrath of a far more powerful being than God: The game host. The person with the most votes at the end of the day phase is lynched. Should there be a tie vote, it will be resolved at my discretion. Depending on my real-life schedule, it will either be done as a short extension of voting or a 24-hour runoff vote between the tied candidates.
The factions and victory conditions:
War in Heaven is somewhat unusual for a large game in that there are only two factions: Loyalist and Rebel. This is an absolute number, reflecting on the nature of the setting; there are no neutral roles. There is no traditional “mafia” either that unifies both sides. Instead, the factions are set up where the minor and non-power rules provide protection and support to their sides major roles while they try to eliminate particular roles on the other side.
Both factions, while having different strengths and weaknesses, are fairly well-balanced. If I have properly done my work, then there will not be an advantage to either side and thus you have no reason other than personal preference to base your initial decision off of.
The Loyalist faction is more well-organized to start off with, and have a slightly easier victory condition in that they only need to eliminate one role for their side to claim victory. They are led by the Archangels Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. However, they are hampered by the fact their overall powers are weaker than those of the Rebels; and, if I know my audience, the Rebel side will be slightly more popular. Their faction victory condition is to destroy Lucifer, either by a night action or by lynching him.
The Rebel faction is less organized than their Loyalist counterparts, reflecting a not-as-well-established chain of command. In addition, they must eliminate all three Major Archangels in order to claim victory as opposed to the Loyalists, who only have to eliminate Lucifer. However, they have far more raw power than their opposites; indeed, Lucifer is the most powerful role in the game (and probably the most powerful role I have ever created) and will be extremely difficult to take down. In addition, I am expecting the Rebel side to have a slight numerical advantage. Their faction victory condition is to destroy Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.
In addition to faction victory conditions, every individual player has a personal victory condition which they must fulfill. Neither condition has priority over the other; you must examine your conditions and decide for yourself which one you are going to go for at first. Obviously, those who fulfill both conditions will achieve the highest level of victory. In addition, both the faction and individual victory conditions are usually (but not always) not mutually exclusive.
Unless otherwise stated in your role PM, DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR PERSONAL VICTORY CONDITION WITH ANYONE AT ANY TIME. Do not even hint or make vague allusions towards it. Doing so will jeopardize the integrity of the game as well as the careful balance which I have put into it.
Your role once dead and other ethical issues:
Quoted from Seamus, with a few edits:
The dead may post, but not vote/select nor carry out any night actions. Dead players may not reveal their roles publicly or privately and may not reveal their faction or role particulars either. Dead players may not quote from a PM unless that PM has been posted in the public thread by a living player. Dead players may not reveal, recount or allude to their previous night actions (or results thereof in the case of investigations) publicly or privately – even to confirm a previously made public or private reveal. Remember, even if dead, you can still take part in a faction victory. Your participation must be circumspect, but your continued participation IS encouraged.
No screenshots are allowed for any purpose at any time, under any circumstance. This especially includes role PMs and other official PMs which I as host has sent you. However, you may alter or fabricate PMs or chat logs to your heart’s desire in a written form (commonly known as “faking PMs”).
Suicide as an option is not allowed in this game – it is possible to create “suicide pacts” which could be potentially gamebreaking. If you must drop out of the game due to unexpected real-life reasons, let me know privately and I will write you out of play.
This has been mentioned already, but I am doing so here again: When picking your alignment, you are not to consult with anyone about it. This is a strictly individual decision.
I would like to once again stress the point that you are not allowed to reveal any information about your individual victory condition without my explicit written permission, and do not try to get around it by vaguely hinting or the like either. This is a personal request as well as an official rule. I have invested far too much time into crafting and (hopefully) perfecting this game, and the balance of power is precarious enough already. One person slightly overstepping the rules could literally ruin the entire game for fifty other players. Anyone who I find willingly and knowingly violating the rules will be subject to my full wrath both as host as well as Gameroom Moderator.
Basically: Use common sense! :yes:
Clarity to balance the ambiguity:
Stolen from Seamus (again).
Upon death, Michael’s special task force will launch a full investigation of that individual to try to determine the reason they were killed. Though slow (results reported on the 3rd morning after death), their then-current role will be revealed. Unfortunately, the specific actions of that individual -- what they did with their role -- will remain a mystery (until the post-game!).
The roles:
Loyalist roles:
Major Archangels
Michael
Gabriel
Raphael
(The exact particulars of these roles will remain a secret, but a few general points that I can give here are that Michael is the most powerful and has the best chance of slaying Lucifer in combat, Gabriel is a very well-rounded role and will utilize his “Messenger of God” role, and Raphael has more of a support role. Those who know their angelology as well as the various powers in Mafia can make educated guesses as to who can do exactly what.)
Minor archangels
Uriel
Abdiel
Seraphiel
Jehoel
(Note: this is assuming 50 players with 25 on the Loyalist side. The amount of minor archangels is subject to change based on the amount of players)
Minor archangels are very versatile roles. Their primary goal is to serve as Legion buffer: they function as two normal angels, thus knocking down the minimum amount of angels required to join a Legion from four to three. In addition, Legions that have the presence of a minor archangel may investigate any single target to determine its alignment. Alternatively, two minor archangels working together may investigate a single target to determine its strength as well as alignment, and have a better chance of blasting through protection in order to kill a target.
Normal angels
Normal angels are powerless on their own, but with the help of three other angels or one angel plus a minor archangel, they can form a Legion. Once in a Legion, they can either kill or protect (or investigate with the help of a minor archangel) a single target per night. Legions will be functional until they are reduced to the strength of two angels – however, a Legion consisting of only a normal angel plus a minor archangel will not function either.
Rebel roles:
Major Archrebels
Lucifer
Beelzebub
Mammon
(The exact particulars of these roles will remain a secret. However, Lucifer is the single most powerful role in the game, Beelzebub is an extremely effective support role, and Mammon will be incredibly annoying for people to deal with. Those who know their demonology as well as various Mafia powers can make educated guesses as to who can do exactly what.)
Minor archrebels
Leviathan
Moloch
Belial
Abaddon
(Note: this is assuming 50 players with 25 on the Rebel side. The amount of minor archangels is subject to change based on the amount of players)
The powers of Minor archrebels are identical to those of their Minor archangel counterparts.
Normal rebels
The powers of Normal rebels are identical to those of their normal angel counterparts.
Secret roles:
They exist. :evilgrin: However, there are no neutral roles.
Personal message:
War in Heaven was originally conceived in the spring and developed over the summer when I took a much-needed hiatus from Mafia games. The goal was to take the concepts originally introduced in Pirate Ship Mafia and streamline them based off my experiences in that game as well as observations from several games since then. Hopefully, the game will be very tense and organized, lasting a long number of rounds and being closely fought up until the very end.
Upon returning to school last month, however, I was facing the very real worry that I simply did not have the time to invest the required amount of effort on my end. After watching Netherworld III unfortunately unable to meet the minimum amount of players, I was two days away from pulling the plug and postponing this game indefinitely. However, around the same time, I began developing a case of insomnia that, while extraordinarily taxing on my end, has also been extremely convenient in the fact that I now have 3-4 hours every night where I have nothing else to do but work on this game.
In essence, the only reason that this game is still proceeding is because I can no longer sleep at night. This underscores the fact that, as time marches on and my responsibilities increase, I will probably no longer be able to do anything like this again after War in Heaven concludes. As a result, I am all the more determined to make what is most likely my final role-intensive game for the foreseeable future all that it can be. I resolve to put everything I possibly can into this game as a host if you promise to give me a great game.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you sign up! I’m looking for 50 players, so tell a friend (or three).
REMEMBER TO PM ME YOUR PREFERRED ALIGNMENT UPON SIGNING UP.
Good luck and the most important rule of all: Have fun! :medievalcheers:

Lucifer awoke.
He gazed at his surroundings, eyes blinking, as if he had never seen such a sight before. The glory and beauty of Heaven is impossible to describe from a human perspective, yet the imagery is much the same. Endless green fields occasionally dotted with trees, producing sweet fruit and honey. Pleasant rolling hills that extended off into the distance, some becoming mighty mountains, some of them trailing off until they met the sparkling gold horizon. Thick forests, teeming with life, the trees letting just enough light in where the entire area is bathed with an ethereal green-gold light. White shores of the finest sand imaginable leading into a calm, impossibly blue ocean. Lucifer saw all of this, and saw that it was good.
Yet, even these wondrous sights were nothing in comparison to the centerpiece of Heaven itself: The golden Throne of God, resplendent in its glory, its size indescribable. It shined and glimmered, with not a single imperfection to be found anywhere on or beneath its surface. Even Lucifer, known as the Morning Star for being the brightest and most beautiful angel of them all, had to mask his eyes to protect himself from the Throne's glimmer.
Desiring not to take part in the spontaneous and frequent "gloria"s that were constantly happening in Heaven exalting the Creator, Lucifer instead turned away from the Throne to one of Heaven's pools, wishing himself a drink of water to completely clear his head. Bending down to drink, he paused, seeing an odd shape facing up at him from the completely still pool. Lucifer was immediately struck by this shape's beauty; it reminded him of his angelic brethren, only far more fair. Puzzled, Lucifer moved his head left, wishing to get a better view of this figure, but the figure flawlessly mimicked his movements in the undisturbed water. Now curious, he moved his head right, and then back and forward, the figure in the water each time making the exact same movements at the exact same time. He closed one eye. The figure did the same.
Taking his eyes away from the figure, Lucifer sat up, realizing the implications of what he had just seen. "O Truth!" he said to himself, "Surely fate has smiled upon me, for if this is truly my own visage that I have spied upon, then I find myself fairer and more resplendent than all!" He knelt back down to the pool, admiring his reflection for another minute before finally taking a drink, waiting for the rippling water to settle down.
After another period of self-admiration, another line of thoughts sprung up in his head, these far more sinister than their predecessors. "And yet... at the same time, God defies fate by denying me my rightful place amongst the angelic hierarchy. For surely, the most beautiful and brightest angel, the most perfect aspect of creation, should be seated at His right hand, should he not? Yet this is not the case. Certainly, I am an archangel and have certain privileges of rank, but I far outstrip my peers in glory, including even Michael. No, even more. I am more beautiful even than the Son! Yet I do not stand at His right side... why is this so?"
Lucifer paused for a moment, ruminating on the implications of this, before the final, most sinister thought of all hit.
"And if He got this - this, of all! - details wrong, then He is not perfect after all. Surely I must be allowed to ascend to my rightful place."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the days passed on, Lucifer’s forces grew. From gathering his original followers in a remote mountain cave, the rebel angels now possessed one of Heaven’s many fields, privately claiming it as their own and were attracting hundreds of angels a day to their banner. Lucifer predicted that within a few days, he would command a full third of the entire angelic population, truly a force to be reckoned with indeed. After all, if God was truly perfect, then how was it that so high a percentage of His creations were willingly ready to throw off His yoke?
Lucifer gazed over his forces, briefly catching a glimpse of his beautiful face in on particularly polished battle helmet and grinned. Soon, he would have to pick his lieutenants. First, there was Beelzebub. That was beyond question. The Lord of the Flies had been the very first angel that Lucifer had lured over to his side, and he did so without hesitation. While Beelzebub’s military prowess and tactical understanding was slightly above-average at best, the lesser angel’s loyalty was beyond question. Beelzebub had found his new lord, and would serve him far more faithfully than he had ever done so to his previous Lord; he would stay by Lucifer’s side until the end of everything. Surely loyalty counted for something.
Next, there was Mammon. This angel, too, was not the first choice one would have in such a contest as this, but there was no denying that Mammon was highly influential amongst the angels. His penchant for luxury was legendary in the angelic community, somehow managing to secure even the greatest of Heaven’s treasures for himself. Several of the lesser angels, wishing to curry favor amongst Mammon, started to tail him and complete rudimentary tasks for him, getting small tokens in exchange for their labors. Soon, Mammon had built up a minor trade empire, reaping most of the benefits of it for himself. Lucifer had played off Mammon’s greed in order to sway him to his side, promising the angel riches beyond comprehension, treasures that were only hitherto accessible to the Father and the Son. Mammon came over, but he would have to be rewarded with a major position.
Leviathan, one of the water angels, would also receive a command. He had spent much of his time in Heaven’s oceans, immersing himself in it, becoming one with the element of water. It was said that on some days, Leviathan would emerge from the water only to satisfy his hunger, which was always immense. Lucifer was banking on Leviathan’s appetite and mastery of the oceans to sweep away Michael’s forces in mass quantities before they even reached the battlefield.
Moloch was to be one of Lucifer’s most able generals. A very warlike angel by nature, Moloch’s natural personality had been aggressive before the rebellion and had evolved into full-fledged anger as Lucifer’s strength grew. Lucifer had lured Moloch into his camp using a two-pronged method: first, by insinuating that God had masked his true nature and that a Luciferian Heaven would allow it to come out undisturbed; second, by promising him increased strength. Moloch went over easily, and had spent the majority of his time since by felling entire mountains.
Astaroth the shapeshifter would lead a force, as would Abaddon, Angel of the Abyss, as would Belial, whose lewd behavior was becoming well-known indeed in the rebel camp, as would many others. But still Lucifer needed more. The Morning Star wished to be absolutely certain that has rebellion, certainly just, would be successful. And thus he went on a personal recruitment campaign, attempting to lure the archangel Abdiel over to his side.
“Abdiel,” he said, words taking a sickeningly sweet and horribly logical tone to the angel’s ear, “You know that His plan is flawed. You can see it in these very fields just over the hills. If God were indeed perfect, then would there not be a full third of His sentient creation rising up in armed rebellion against Him? If God were indeed perfect, then why does He make the mistake of having his fairest and most powerful angels shut out from the ruling hierarchy, instead letting the power clique of Himself, His Son, and Michael oversee the day-to-day operations of life in Heaven? Why are you and I even here discussing the possibility of rebellion if His plan is not flawed?”
Abdiel, however, was having none of it. “Begone, foul boggart,” he said, driving Lucifer back in shock. Never before had the archangel been repudiated when canvassing for followers. “The Lord works in mysterious ways, even to such beings as you and I, Lucifer. You deny the omnipotence and sovereignty of your and my Creator, the Creator of us all? You only possess the capability to think such rebellious thoughts in the first place because He gave you that capability, because free will is a far more beautiful concept than any of us will ever know or understand. You seek to overthrow Him who sees, knows, and is capable of all? Nothing in all existence is less possible.”
“It is heartening to see your confidence and zeal so placed in your Master,” Lucifer said with a snarl, “but by the end you will find your faith misplaced. I *will* prove His plan wrong and create a new angelic order, and those who were loyal to me from the beginning will be remembered… as will those who opposed me. Think carefully on your decision, Abdiel, you may regret it dearly.”
“As will you, Adversary, and when you finally realize that you have been horribly mistaken about everything, I hope that you have the internal courage to admit it to your misguided followers as well as yourself.” And without another word, Abdiel sped off in the other direction. Lucifer surmised that he would inform Michael and the other angels about what had transpired here. As such, he returned to his own camp, where he was greeted with a thousand cheers and ten thousand swords banging on ten thousand shields. The weaponsmiths had finished their work. The rebel army was ready.
“Prepare for war,” Lucifer said, and the roar of approval could be heard throughout Heaven.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abdiel flew as high and fast as he could over Heaven’s great expanse, not wanting to waste any time. Every single second he tarried, Lucifer’s rebellion would grow, that much he was sure of. Abdiel, strong in faith, was not worried about the possibility of an overthrow, rather, he was concerned for the integrity of his fellow angels’ souls. The less that were corrupted by the Morning Star’s lies, the better. Clearing entire fields in seconds, Abdiel made his way towards the very center of Heaven and the Throne of God itself, where nearby the Archangel Michael was sure to be.
“I must see the Archangel!” Abdiel shouted at the Seraphim guards around Michael’s encampment. “I have critical information about an insurrection that must be passed along. In the name of God, let me pass!” The Seraphim, seeing that Abdiel’s heart was true and pure, stepped aside, and in Abdiel flew.
What he saw surprised him greatly: There was a huge encampment filled to the brim with angels; a force that surely matched Lucifer’s in number. Each angel was either armed or in the process of being equipped, and their armaments gleamed equally brightly as did their rebel counterparts’. Dwarfing it all was a gigantic command tent that was sure to contain Michael. Abdiel made his way towards the tent, again guarded by Seraphim, but this time they let him in without a word.
Once inside, Abdiel could not help but gape. He had never seen such a collection of high-ranking angels present in one place before; the only angel of comparable rank that was not present was Lucifer himself. Michael, his true form almost imperceptible thanks to the blazing and radiant glory that surrounded him, looked up and bode Abdiel welcome, motioning Abdiel to join the council. Somewhat taken aback, Abdiel took closer stock of his peers.
The three Great Archangels were the most prominent in the command tent, with Michael the most so. Abdiel, though he would never admit it, and despite his unwavering faith in God, was struck a bit fearful when he was face-to-face with Lucifer. This was perfectly reasonable, as Lucifer was an extremely powerful angel. However, what remained of that fear completely evaporated upon gazing at Michael. The Prince of the angels and High Commander of the Army of Heaven was truly a majestic figure to behold, radiating powerful red light. His sword, unused and at his side, gleamed a soft reddish-light glow, a foreshadowing of the brilliant pure white flame it would radiate when in the heat of battle. Yes, as long as the angels still had Michael on their side, all would be well.
Michael’s second-in-command was the archangel Gabriel, a powerful figure in his own right. If Michael represented fire, Gabriel did so for water, his outer calmness masking his devastating potential. Mainly the Messenger of God, Gabriel was a more-than-capable warrior who had been primarily summoning all angels near and far to assist in the upcoming battle against Lucifer’s legions. If Michael were somehow to fall in combat, Gabriel would take command, where his fighting prowess and communication skills would serve him well.
The last Great Archangel was Raphael, less of a fighter than the other two but could still hold his own. Raphael, who represented air, was more of a healer and a benevolent soul. He also passed on knowledge from any and all possible subjects to those who sought it. These tasks made Raphael a valuable force, and his presence was deeply respected at the council.
Amongst the lesser archangels - of which Abdiel could count himself as company - sat Uriel, who had the sharpest eyes in all of Heaven and could keep an accurate estimation of Lucifer’s current forces, and what they were up to. There was also Seraphiel, chief of all the Seraphim, Metatron, the embodiment of universal understanding and universal knowledge, and Jehoel, who headed all of the Heavenly singing, amongst others.
Abdiel, now realizing that of course the other Archangels would have heard about Lucifer’s rebellion, decided not to say anything after all, and merely waited for Michael to deliver his final opinion. The other archangels remained respectfully silent as the Prince drew himself up.
“The Lord has seen fit to grant us, His eternal subjects, with free will, so that we may do as we please. However, this free will does not grant us the right to rise up and attempt to overthrow He who is both omnipotent and benevolent, He who made us all. These rebellious angels have made their choice – now they are to face the consequences. We shall muster our entire force and meet Lucifer in battle and cleanse this place of his pestilence.” The other angels nodded silently at Michael’s decision, and they filed out of the command tent, one by one.
Quickly and orderly, the loyalist angels organized themselves based on the chain of command, and soon battalions formed and they flew out to one of the particularly large fields that Abdiel had flown over earlier. This field, large and beautiful even by Heaven’s standards, was previously unoccupied but that had since changed, as Lucifer’s army had moved there in force.
The two armies landed, staring at each other, with Michael and Lucifer at their respective heads. The War in Heaven was about to begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview and disclaimer:
This is the second Huge game I have hosted in the Gameroom, after Pirate Ship Mafia last fall. As you might have guessed, it is based off the concept of the War in Heaven, or Lucifer’s rebellion in the pre-Creation era that got him and his followers all cast down into Hell and started the great drama that is existence. The game is based off a number of sources, most notably John Milton’s Paradise Lost. In terms of the mechanics, I’ve borrowed heavily from (of course) Capo di Tutti Capi as well as my own Pirate Ship Mafia. I also owe gratitude to, among other games, Rubicon, Lylat Wars, The Shadow Fort, and A Bridge Zhou Far, whose ideas I have taken and molded in some form or another.
While the game assumes a Christian view of the concepts of angels and Heaven due to the setting, this is for entertainment purposes only and is not an endorsement of any particular view. I have left my own personal religious beliefs out of the game, as should you. Any theological debates outside of roleplaying will not be tolerated. If you wish to discuss such things as the nature of God or whether or not this rebellion is justified or not, the proper place to do so is the Backroom (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/forumdisplay.php?19-Backroom).
Setting:
For those that didn’t read the above story, the game takes place in pre-Creation Heaven. One particular archangel by the name of Lucifer, dissatisfied with his lot in life, has decided to rebel against God, whom he believes is denying his rightful place in the hierarchy of Heaven. Lucifer has gathered a significant amount of followers, most notably Beelzebub and Mammon, and is preparing to make war on the established order.
Opposing him is the triumvirate of Great Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, as well as an amount of Loyalist angels roughly equal to that of Lucifer’s forces. They fight for the natural order as well as the confirmation of God’s sovereignty over all. The recruitments all but complete, there is nothing left to do but fight the greatest and most epic battle existence has ever known.
Basic rules:
One of the main features of War in Heaven is your ability to choose a side: Loyalist or Rebel. There is no guarantee that you will get you side depending on how evenly people split, but your choice will be taken into consideration upon my handing out of roles. Once signing up for the game, you must PM me your choice of preferred side or let me know if you do not have a preference. Failure to do so will result in you being marked down as “no preference”. You may not discuss your choices/make pacts beforehand with anyone. Basically, this means you're picking blind.
At the start of the game, you will be randomly PM’d a role, its description, and both your team and individual victory conditions. Immediately upon doing this, the game will begin. War in Heaven will start with a night phase where you will be able to take part in any of the activities you are able to do under your role PM. The initial night phase will last slightly longer than usual to allow you time to begin sending out feelers and networking. After the night phase, the day phase will take place which will allow you to vote for the person you want to be lynched, as per usual. This cycle will repeat as necessary until the game concludes.
Legions and night actions:
For the normal angels in the game, you cannot complete any night action without assistance of a pre-created group, known as a Legion. A total of either four normal angels of one alignment, or two normal angels and one minor archangel may band together to form a Legion. Once a Legion has been formed, it can sustain one casualty and still be able to operate as normal. However, if it sustains two casualties (or it loses a minor archangel, which acts as two normal angels), the Legion is considered dissolved.
Legions may perform the following actions at night:
Kill one target per night OR
Protect one target per night OR
(with Minor archangel only) Investigate one target per night to determine a character’s alignment
Minor and Major Archangels also have individual powers that will be detailed further on. Unless otherwise noted in your role PM, you may only perform ONE action per night.
When sending me your orders PM you must send me the exact specifics: What you are doing, the name of every person who is doing it with you, and who you are doing it to. If there is miscommunication and the orders do not match up, they will not be executed, and you are put at a slight risk of dying at night. Beware!
Example orders PM:
GH – Night 3 orders
Tonight, GeneralHankerchief, Yaseikhaan, Sigurd, and Seamus Fermanagh will kill TinCow.
At the end of every night I will send feedback PMs detailing how successful you were at night. If the group failed, I will not reveal what exactly what went wrong.
Voting:
Voting is your primary action in the day phases. When voting for a player to be lynched, you must do so in the standard style:
Vote: GeneralHankerchief
Should you wish to change your vote at any point in the day phase, you must do so as follows IN A NEW POST:
Unvote: GeneralHankerchief
Vote: TosaInu
You may also Vote: Abstain if you have no preference as to who is lynched. However, voting for “No Lynch” is not allowed. All votes must be bolded and votes may not be edited. To do so risks the wrath of a far more powerful being than God: The game host. The person with the most votes at the end of the day phase is lynched. Should there be a tie vote, it will be resolved at my discretion. Depending on my real-life schedule, it will either be done as a short extension of voting or a 24-hour runoff vote between the tied candidates.
The factions and victory conditions:
War in Heaven is somewhat unusual for a large game in that there are only two factions: Loyalist and Rebel. This is an absolute number, reflecting on the nature of the setting; there are no neutral roles. There is no traditional “mafia” either that unifies both sides. Instead, the factions are set up where the minor and non-power rules provide protection and support to their sides major roles while they try to eliminate particular roles on the other side.
Both factions, while having different strengths and weaknesses, are fairly well-balanced. If I have properly done my work, then there will not be an advantage to either side and thus you have no reason other than personal preference to base your initial decision off of.
The Loyalist faction is more well-organized to start off with, and have a slightly easier victory condition in that they only need to eliminate one role for their side to claim victory. They are led by the Archangels Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel. However, they are hampered by the fact their overall powers are weaker than those of the Rebels; and, if I know my audience, the Rebel side will be slightly more popular. Their faction victory condition is to destroy Lucifer, either by a night action or by lynching him.
The Rebel faction is less organized than their Loyalist counterparts, reflecting a not-as-well-established chain of command. In addition, they must eliminate all three Major Archangels in order to claim victory as opposed to the Loyalists, who only have to eliminate Lucifer. However, they have far more raw power than their opposites; indeed, Lucifer is the most powerful role in the game (and probably the most powerful role I have ever created) and will be extremely difficult to take down. In addition, I am expecting the Rebel side to have a slight numerical advantage. Their faction victory condition is to destroy Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.
In addition to faction victory conditions, every individual player has a personal victory condition which they must fulfill. Neither condition has priority over the other; you must examine your conditions and decide for yourself which one you are going to go for at first. Obviously, those who fulfill both conditions will achieve the highest level of victory. In addition, both the faction and individual victory conditions are usually (but not always) not mutually exclusive.
Unless otherwise stated in your role PM, DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR PERSONAL VICTORY CONDITION WITH ANYONE AT ANY TIME. Do not even hint or make vague allusions towards it. Doing so will jeopardize the integrity of the game as well as the careful balance which I have put into it.
Your role once dead and other ethical issues:
Quoted from Seamus, with a few edits:
The dead may post, but not vote/select nor carry out any night actions. Dead players may not reveal their roles publicly or privately and may not reveal their faction or role particulars either. Dead players may not quote from a PM unless that PM has been posted in the public thread by a living player. Dead players may not reveal, recount or allude to their previous night actions (or results thereof in the case of investigations) publicly or privately – even to confirm a previously made public or private reveal. Remember, even if dead, you can still take part in a faction victory. Your participation must be circumspect, but your continued participation IS encouraged.
No screenshots are allowed for any purpose at any time, under any circumstance. This especially includes role PMs and other official PMs which I as host has sent you. However, you may alter or fabricate PMs or chat logs to your heart’s desire in a written form (commonly known as “faking PMs”).
Suicide as an option is not allowed in this game – it is possible to create “suicide pacts” which could be potentially gamebreaking. If you must drop out of the game due to unexpected real-life reasons, let me know privately and I will write you out of play.
This has been mentioned already, but I am doing so here again: When picking your alignment, you are not to consult with anyone about it. This is a strictly individual decision.
I would like to once again stress the point that you are not allowed to reveal any information about your individual victory condition without my explicit written permission, and do not try to get around it by vaguely hinting or the like either. This is a personal request as well as an official rule. I have invested far too much time into crafting and (hopefully) perfecting this game, and the balance of power is precarious enough already. One person slightly overstepping the rules could literally ruin the entire game for fifty other players. Anyone who I find willingly and knowingly violating the rules will be subject to my full wrath both as host as well as Gameroom Moderator.
Basically: Use common sense! :yes:
Clarity to balance the ambiguity:
Stolen from Seamus (again).
Upon death, Michael’s special task force will launch a full investigation of that individual to try to determine the reason they were killed. Though slow (results reported on the 3rd morning after death), their then-current role will be revealed. Unfortunately, the specific actions of that individual -- what they did with their role -- will remain a mystery (until the post-game!).
The roles:
Loyalist roles:
Major Archangels
Michael
Gabriel
Raphael
(The exact particulars of these roles will remain a secret, but a few general points that I can give here are that Michael is the most powerful and has the best chance of slaying Lucifer in combat, Gabriel is a very well-rounded role and will utilize his “Messenger of God” role, and Raphael has more of a support role. Those who know their angelology as well as the various powers in Mafia can make educated guesses as to who can do exactly what.)
Minor archangels
Uriel
Abdiel
Seraphiel
Jehoel
(Note: this is assuming 50 players with 25 on the Loyalist side. The amount of minor archangels is subject to change based on the amount of players)
Minor archangels are very versatile roles. Their primary goal is to serve as Legion buffer: they function as two normal angels, thus knocking down the minimum amount of angels required to join a Legion from four to three. In addition, Legions that have the presence of a minor archangel may investigate any single target to determine its alignment. Alternatively, two minor archangels working together may investigate a single target to determine its strength as well as alignment, and have a better chance of blasting through protection in order to kill a target.
Normal angels
Normal angels are powerless on their own, but with the help of three other angels or one angel plus a minor archangel, they can form a Legion. Once in a Legion, they can either kill or protect (or investigate with the help of a minor archangel) a single target per night. Legions will be functional until they are reduced to the strength of two angels – however, a Legion consisting of only a normal angel plus a minor archangel will not function either.
Rebel roles:
Major Archrebels
Lucifer
Beelzebub
Mammon
(The exact particulars of these roles will remain a secret. However, Lucifer is the single most powerful role in the game, Beelzebub is an extremely effective support role, and Mammon will be incredibly annoying for people to deal with. Those who know their demonology as well as various Mafia powers can make educated guesses as to who can do exactly what.)
Minor archrebels
Leviathan
Moloch
Belial
Abaddon
(Note: this is assuming 50 players with 25 on the Rebel side. The amount of minor archangels is subject to change based on the amount of players)
The powers of Minor archrebels are identical to those of their Minor archangel counterparts.
Normal rebels
The powers of Normal rebels are identical to those of their normal angel counterparts.
Secret roles:
They exist. :evilgrin: However, there are no neutral roles.
Personal message:
War in Heaven was originally conceived in the spring and developed over the summer when I took a much-needed hiatus from Mafia games. The goal was to take the concepts originally introduced in Pirate Ship Mafia and streamline them based off my experiences in that game as well as observations from several games since then. Hopefully, the game will be very tense and organized, lasting a long number of rounds and being closely fought up until the very end.
Upon returning to school last month, however, I was facing the very real worry that I simply did not have the time to invest the required amount of effort on my end. After watching Netherworld III unfortunately unable to meet the minimum amount of players, I was two days away from pulling the plug and postponing this game indefinitely. However, around the same time, I began developing a case of insomnia that, while extraordinarily taxing on my end, has also been extremely convenient in the fact that I now have 3-4 hours every night where I have nothing else to do but work on this game.
In essence, the only reason that this game is still proceeding is because I can no longer sleep at night. This underscores the fact that, as time marches on and my responsibilities increase, I will probably no longer be able to do anything like this again after War in Heaven concludes. As a result, I am all the more determined to make what is most likely my final role-intensive game for the foreseeable future all that it can be. I resolve to put everything I possibly can into this game as a host if you promise to give me a great game.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you sign up! I’m looking for 50 players, so tell a friend (or three).
REMEMBER TO PM ME YOUR PREFERRED ALIGNMENT UPON SIGNING UP.
Good luck and the most important rule of all: Have fun! :medievalcheers:
