Heaven

Heaven or Paradise is where those who have belonged to several cultures, or to none, come when they die if they have lived good and righteous lives - it is also the abode of the angels and archangels, the champions of the Light, and was once the home of the deity known as God. The realm was also said to be created by God Himself but Lucifer believes that Heaven and God came into existence at the same time.

Overview
In its history, Heaven has had two civil wars. The first was when Lucifer became jealous and angry of God's growing love and devotion towards mankind and, subsequently, led a rebellion against God. The second was between the remaining angels/arch-angels and the Djinn after Iblis, the leader and original Djinn grew angry with God and decided to rebel in the same way Lucifer did. Both wars ended the same way, with those who were loyal to God remaining in Heaven, and those who weren't, were cast out. God resided in Heaven with His angels until his departure around the time of the First World War (Earth Time). In God's absence, the archangel Michael led the angelic Host and directed the affairs of Heaven. Raphael was also an authority.

Every soul that goes to Heaven is placed under a spell by the Arch Angel Michael that keeps them in a permanent state of peaceful bliss.

Time Changes Between Dimensions
Time in Heaven passes twice as slow as time on Earth. What is one year on Earth is two years in Heaven, one day on Earth, two days in Heaven, and so forth.

Appearance
Most of Heaven appears to by some to be an infinite range of mountains, angels and the souls of the blessed residing within light-filled caves near the summits. However, there is a garden in the very centre of all these mountains, referred to by the angels as the Heavenly Garden. As one can assume, the Heavenly Garden is where God rules Heaven from. Several angels guard the outside of the Garden and prevent any soul from getting in. The only individuals allowed in the Heavenly Garden are the Arch Angels, Iblis (formerly) and God Himself.
