#21 Archangel Gabriel

The greatest mountain in the Multiverse is shining Mons Divinus. Its summit is the pinnacle of Heaven, and from this peak, seeming to grow from the glittering stone, is the silver Aquiline Tower. The dome of its central minaret is supported by tall ionic columns, and between them soar a constant traffic of eagles. The eagles serve the colossal silver-winged figure who sits enthroned in the marble chamber below the dome. Motionless, cold, and pale, alike to an immense statue: it is Gabriel.

From the Aquiline Tower Gabriel sends his billion eagles abroad. All that occurs throughout Creation is viewed by the eagles and reported back. Gabriel’s role is chiefly that of an observer, monitoring the forces that shape the World. Occasionally he will send messages to inform the other Powers of the Light of significant events. It is rare that he intervenes directly.

But it should be noted that to his right hand is a weapon that fires beams of pure light, and to his left is the Standard of the Silver Eagle. And on the day of the Eschaton, Gabriel will take up arms and raise his banner and go to battle against the forces of the Dark. And the Convocation of a Billion Eagles will be a shining storm cloud of wings and beaks and talons.
