The Archangel of War
War and violence given form, herald of Aelit, and Eclipse Father. Born from war and baptized in blood, the archangel seeks battle, to participate in many-a-war. Legends say that it had first fought in an ancient war many centuries ago, blinding all with its wings of molten bronze and the 3 eclipsed stars that follow the archangel. During the battle it did not care for who it slaughtered, only seeking blood and death, the tide of the battle had shifted greatly, chaos erupting upon the battlefield. From the earth, thousands of spears thrust towards the heavens, catching hundreds of soldiers off guard.

The archangel also has the lambda branded onto its back, a symbol of ancient spartan warriors. Reports of the archangel are widespread and go far back into the early 9th century, as wherever a great conflict occurred, the archangel would appear and decimate those unlucky enough to cross its hollow gaze. The most infamous sighting occurred during the midst of the Great War, wherein the archangel spread a swath of death and chaos across the european landscape, leaving a trail of chaos in its wake. The eclipsed stars that followed the archangel and its molten wings were bright enough to make night look like day, as well as burn and sear anything that came near it. Due to this many called it the &quot;False Dawn&quot; or &quot;Sun of War&quot;, but most feared to even speak its name, let alone think about it. Ancient descriptions state the archangel had gleaming bronze armour, shining as bright as the sun, although this is no longer the case. Seeped with both fresh and ancient blood, it has changed the color to a dull-blackened bronze, a constant reminder of how much death it has reaped over centuries. The sheer brutality and ruthlessness it shows to any and all make other archangels fear it, even some gods fear what it is capable of...
