Now long forgotten, the Aengul named Zecharael once stood among the heavens as a paragon of justice. Demanding respect yet righteous and impartial. From his realm he presided over material and divine planes to dole out judgement upon all. Those who sought to rise above the rule of law were met with their undoing and it was this that Zecharael relished. In his eyes no being was above justice, not even his brethren among the Aengudaemons. Sadly, this proved to be his downfall.

When Iblees rose up in defiance of the Heavens, Zecharael made it his purpose to seek out and pass judgement upon all who joined the Betrayer. Many did face retribution but this single-minded pursuit so engrossed the Aengul of Justice that he neglected his duties. His celestial court that had once presided over the judgement of many was now desolate and untended. Only the actions of the Lord of Sunlight stirred Zecharael from his quest and Justice would have raised up to strike at him were it not for his conflict with Iblees and subsequent death.

The Gilded Court of Zecharael

The former realm of Justice, now abandoned.

Zecharael's domain, known simply as the Gilded Court, is an expansive chamber made from gilded stone, lined with statues of marble, and motifs of heavenly design. Always was this domain bright with the light of the heavens and from atop his lofty throne did Justice damn those guilty and hand punishment out for transgressions. However, wit the absence of its lord the realm has fallen into disuse. What were once bright halls host to constant tribunals now are empty of life and utterly devoid of light. Untouched, the Court remains as a fragment of its master's power and persists in the celestial plane.

History

Zecharael was once heralded a champion among the Aenguls. His name itself was Justice and thus did he preside over the righteous bringing suffering to those who refused the light of the Heavens. The Aengul was closely aligned to two others of the divine: Xan and Eshtael. For through order there was law and through law, justice. Balance was brought in Eshtael's wake and she often served as warden to those found guilty.

When Iblees revealed his nature and cast aside his siblings, Zecharael was among the first to heed the call of the Archaengul and bring glorious battle to those who stood with the Betrayer. As the conflict dragged on, however, the Aengul came to a realization that the divine were not above justice and must too be tried for crimes should the natural order be maintained. Becoming obsessed with this new purpose it inevitably drove him to turn upon Xan, who he so loved and cherished, for Order made his descent into the mortal plane and sired children with a mortal woman. Zecharael was among the few to openly challenge Xan which fostered animosity between them. Xan, however, would not face Justice's wrath as Zecharael was slain in battle with the Archdaemon himself. Thus the mantle of Justice was taken on by Tahariae and Zecharael's name faded into obscurity.

Full Lore

Zecharael, Once-Aengul of Justice Sigil: Closed Gauntlet Long forgotten to the aeons and only whispered of in the most archaic and ancient of celestial repositories, the Aengul Zecharael once stood among the heavens as a paragon of justice; his was a station demanding of respect, righteous and impartial. From his gilded court, he presided over the material and divine planes and doled out judgment upon all. Yet there were those who sought to rise above the rule of law and it was their undoing that Zecharael relished in, for no being was above justice - not even the Aengudaemon whose majesty was born of celestial grace and this would prove to be his bane. When Iblees reared his head in defiance of the Heavens, he made it his purpose to seek out and pass judgment upon all those who saw fit to join in the Betrayer’s folly, and many did face retribution at the hands of Justice. So engrossed did Zecharael become in this single-minded pursuit that he neglected his duties and would no longer preside over the judgment of the many, rendering his celestial court desolate and untended. It was during this era of strife that he came to an impasse with the Lord of Sunlight, who brazenly committed sacrilege with his intervention into the material realm and the siring of an abomination born of a mortal. Justice would have raised a hand to strike him down were it not for their ongoing conflict with Iblees and his subsequent death at the Betrayer's hands. The Gilded Court of Zecharael Before he was slain doing battle with Iblees, Zecharael ruled from his domain - known simply as the Gilded Court. It was an expansive chamber of gilded stone lined with statues of marble and motifs of heavenly design. Always was Zecharael’s domain bright with the incandescent light of the heavens, and from atop his lofty throne did Justice damn those guilty to punishment for their transgressions. However, it has fallen into disuse with the absence of its lord. What were once bright halls that were host to constant tribunals are now desolate, silent and empty of life and utterly devoid of light.
