The Infernal Republic of Paraiso is a nation residing in Dreamspace. It is a republic of hell, an exile for those condemned by the gods; here, the Erelim who participated against Tetragram in the War in Heaven keep the flames of the revolution alive.
Government
Tetragram operates as a Mechanical Erelim Theocracy, with its de jure leader being the missing god ██████. It is led by the Regency of the Aurorean Assembly, a council of all Erelim in existence created by ██████ as part of the genesis of their worlds. These Erelim essentially operate as self-serving microstates unless called upon by the Aurorean Assembly, them being able to raise their own levies, seize fiefdoms as they see fit, and create ways to further one's devotion to ██████. In each of these Erelim is a purpose, the last orders given by ██████ prior to their departure, which they would carry on till the world's end. Those who have deviated from their purpose turn into Shedim, demons that have been stripped of their connection to ██████.
The Aurorean Assembly is what remains of the faithful Erelim after the lightbringer's rebellion, specifically it is a rump state of the Seventh Heaven led by Samael, with the other six being subsequently shattered during the course of the war. Being the most distant to other of ██████'s creations, they act in complete disregard of others' feelings, relying on imposing blind faith for the sake of maintaining control over their devotees.
The Archangel of all of Tetragram is known as Samael, while there was once up to seven (inc. the archangels Michael and Gabriel), only he remained alive after the War in Heaven. Samael is a seraphim, those Erelim who are closest to ██████, and thus suffered the most with his departure, with them degenerating into mindless leviathans, after being forcibly torn apart/made hollow; but still Samael remained as both groups' sole survivors.
Notable Erelim
The Erelim of the Aurorean Assembly are numerous, but there are influential figures among them.
- Samael, the Poison of God / Archangel of the Aurorean Assembly ruling from State Engine Stauros.
- Azrael, the Help from God / Angel of the Marum Alignment
- Ananiel, the Cloud of God / Angel of the Stereoma Alignment
Demographics
The majority of Tetragram consist of devotee Beastmen, partially calcified with patches of iron and presence of churning gears related to the angel in control of them. The leadership is solely made up of Erelim, mechanical spirits created by ██████ to carry out his plans for creation. They share the same population with their counterpart Paraiso.
Religion
Cruxifism is a monotheist religion centered on the sole worship of ██████, the missing god that had departed the seven heavens shortly after the genesis of his own worlds. In practice, some saintly worship is given as well to the "patron angels" that preside over the devotees, which they draw their power from.
