The Heavenly Host
"The Might & Fury of Her Grace, the Body of Yggdrasil and the Soul of Man, the Sword of God and the Cloak of Mortals. The Heavenly Host is the one and true and only army of God."
Structure
The Choirs of Angels
Angels are being cast directly from the power and science of Her Grace, Hasadiah, the Second Name of God, a marvel of her genius and ability. They are immensely powerful and are seen as the embodiment of God's Will, Wrath, and Mercy. There are Nine types of Angels separated into 3 Choirs based on connection to Her Grace.
Choir I: The Godly Servants
"We Art Who are Nigh God"
- The Seraphim are the closest to Her Grace, they reside at The Almighty, Throne of Yggdrasil and sing the praise of God for all of Creation to hear. Their song is the "Heavenly Gospel" and records all the deeds of Her Grace.
- The Cherubim serve as the sentinels of the Throne of Yggdrasil and God and as God's escorts. Whenever Her Grace would depart her Throne, no matter where she traveled, she was always with an escort by Cherubim legions.
- The Thrones are divine judges who deal out God's Justice, they are responsible for determining if a being or beings have violated one of The 7 Sacred Seals, and, if so, delivering the measured punishment for such a crime.
Choir II: The Heavenly Rulers
"Our Word is Law in Midgard"
- The Dominions receive the Word of God as interpreted by the First Choir and provide the Word to Angels under them. They reside in Essdale, City of Grace & Timber, and can be found ruling over the various worlds and locations present.
- The Virtues are Angels who are charged with maintaining the Natural Order of Yggdrasil turning the Word of God into Blessings and Boons for the faithful. If the Natural Order of Yggdrasil is a machine, then the Virtues are engineers who keep it running.
- The Powers are the Angels who are responsible for protecting Holy Sites of significance to the Faith and the Order.
Choir III: The Earthly Messengers
"Ours is the Way of Physical Aspects"
- The Principalities are numerous and are each assigned to a Major God or Vessel of other Elder Gods who have been given representation in Yggdrasil. This is to keep the God in question safe but to enforce obedience as a God's Principality is to kill them should they show heresy.
- The Archangels are the only class of Angelic beings who possess a significant aspect of Her Grace, making them related to her in a pseudo manner. There are 7 of this type and despite their rank, are considered to be among the most powerful Angels to ever exist.
- The Common Angels are vast and numerous as well, and they are 7 Legions each led by an Archangel. They do the bidding of their superiors, whether that be guarding a certain Realm or raining Holy Fire down on Heretics.
The Holy Knights
History
The Heavenly Host was formed when Hasadiah wed King David of Aelia Capitolina. She was preparing for a war with the mighty dragons and needed a suitable army to do so with. Yggdrasil birthed her Nine Types of Angels for her to employ and she paired them with the Holy Knights under the command of David's son, Solomon, to birth the Heavenly Host.

The Choirs of Angels
Angels are being cast directly from the power and bark of Yggdrasil, The Worlds Tree, imbued with Holy Majik with 100% loyalty and obedience to the Vessel of Yggdrasil. They are immensely powerful and are seen as the embodiment of God's Will, Wrath, and Mercy. There are Nine types of Angels separated into 3 Choirs based on connection to Her Grace.

- The Common Angels are vast and numerous as well, and they are 7 Legions each led by an Archangel. They do the bidding of their superiors, whether that be guarding a certain Realm or raining Holy Fire down on Heretics.
The Holy Knights of Aelia Capitolina
Aelia Capitolina was a massive Kingdom in the Lands of Discord ruled by King David, his Holy Knights were integrated into the fighting force of Yggdrasil when he wed Hasadiah and played a hand in helping to establish The Church of Grace. His Knights have power over the Crucible and Giant blood in their veins.
-
The Holy Knights are the main fighting force of the Heavenly Host, boasting over 300 thousand legions and Armadas, all in service to Her Grace. On each and every World Touched by Grace, one can find Armies of Holy Knights standing at the ready. The Supreme Commander of the Holy Knights is King Solomon, the Son of David and a wise old sage.

Fiercely Obedient
The Heavenly Host is made up of the Nine Choirs of Angels and the Holy Knights of David. The Angels are hardwired to be fiercely loyal to the House of the World Tree while the Holy Knights are technically servants of The Church of Grace, and are not trusted fully by the Sacred Lineage.
Obedient
The Heavenly Host is led by Solomon, the first-born son of David, who answers to officials in The Church of Grace, not The House of the World Tree. They serve the purpose of spreading the Word of God and the Host is to be their escorts.
Untrusting
When Godwyn The All-Knowing was banished from Yggdrasil, The Church of Grace commanded the Heavenly Host to re-take his library, the Owlwyn Collective. They attempted to do this by force which resulted in the Book-Keepers expelling all their arcane knowledge, returning their accumulated knowledge back to the cosmos, and denying the tyrannical Church monopoly over it.
