Talk:Ten Archangels of the Sephira/@comment-65.182.3.42-20181009202303

I can only imagine how surprised the Players who know little of angelololy where when they encountered these bosses. Immediately assuming that just cuz they share the name of the second weakest Angel type, they will be weak too. Its true that Archangels are the second lowest of the whole hierarchy, but the word Archangel literally means &quot;Chief Angel&quot;, so it can also be used to describe the most powerful Angel(s). Such did John Milton in Paradise Lost calling the Seraphs &quot;Archangels&quot; as in the strongest Angels of Heaven. Truth be told, the hierarchy that YGGDRASIL uses is the one proposed by Pseudo-Denys. The most influential, but not the only one. Some medieval theologist proposed hierarchies that not only almost inverts the order the game uses, but also adds completely new Choirs, like the &quot;Aeons&quot; and &quot;Hosts&quot; just below the &quot;Cherubims&quot;, for a total of 11 Choirs. Some hierarchies even demoted the &quot;Thrones&quot; to the Third Sphere, and other outright replaced some Choirs with other new ones (like removing the &quot;Virtues&quot; and adding &quot;Authorities&quot;). If you ask me, it was in a good part thanks to Dante Alighieri and his Divine Comedy that spread and popularized Pseudo-Denys&apos; hierarchy of Angels, since it is the one he uses in his epic poem. And speaking of adding ranks, the game franchise Bayonetta even added another rank above the First Sphere called &quot;Auditio&quot; which holds another 4 Choirs, for a total of 13 Choirs. Now that I think about it, if I ever make a RPG that lets you choose your own race, I will go crazy and will add tons of races and more advanced races for heteromorphics to advance, maybe even add over 15 Choirs of Angels to start and advance towards.
