Extra Background Lore:

History

Long ago, in ancient times, three archangels rose against God’s reign, beginning a rebellion in heaven. Led by Lucifer, the prideful and enlightened, Satan and Belial joined his crusade for having become sick at the thought of humans.

After losing, the three were cast to the depths of the primordial ocean, where they would become Kings in exchange for a portion of their strength, giving it to the Primeval, who would use God’s blood that flowed through the veins of the archangels to create a twisted being and avatar for itself, The Leviathan, and together the four ruled over the various versions of hell, assigning princes to the layers.

The history of man since Adam and Eve brought sin into the world has been a sad record of the human race departing from God in spite of all that God has done for them. Though Adam and Eve had consciences that enabled them to distinguish right from wrong, that did not make them good, and their posterity drifted further and further from God until God decided to destroy the whole human race, except Noah and his family.

God’s restart of humanity happened again and again, from Noah and the Flood, to the tower of babel, humanity repeatedly turned their backs on God, often with obvious disrespect and contempt for all he did. Finally, God sent Jesus of Nazareth, the embodiment of himself who would take upon his shoulders all the sin of the world, allowing any and all who would follow to be absolved.

It was Jesus’ death that led to all of humanity being given the opportunity to be saved, with all who sought salvation only needing to seek it. It was after a millennium that Jesus would return, with the crusades in his name and the world christianized that the rapture would happen, taking with it the souls of all the saints in the world which was left to humanity.

Since this time, the four Kings of Hell would corrupt and rape humanity until it was unable to recognize god, even taking on various human vessels to further their ambitions and goals, taking the baring the name of Jesus to further harm his image. Two millennia later, during the twenty-first century, their goals had finally been realized, and they were able to materialize their angelic bodies, along with the angels that had fallen with them, on earth, where they would reign a second tribulation over the sons and daughters of the sinners that were left.

Truth

America was an experiment by several elite groups working together, who saw Colonial America as the perfect place to begin a long-running thought of a World Government.

This group has hidden many things and created a false narrative, including the fact that the world is a hologram of vibrations. Christ and the orthodox God is real, though the cosmology of the old Hebrew testament is closer to reality.
