Sariel, Sahariel, et Zariel
Is it really a religious side blog if I don't mention modern interpretations of ancient fallen angels from the Book of Enoch that the Catholic Church blocked et is highly debated in most circles today but unfortunately I have DND brainrot, while also being an Abrahamic and Christian mythology lover which brought me closer to God et it will make me talk about it?
No it wouldn't be so here we are.
Some background, in DND there is the Archduchess of Hell, Zariel who is described as a fallen angel with anger issues. If you know Baldurs Gate 3, which might be the first time some of heard of her, she is a villain that is there that haunts Karlach's narrative.
Despite being a villain, she was originally under Lathander was a good guy (defining good and bad with celestial deities one would have an easier time explaining the FNAF timeline) and even now, because of this background she is still a (not well-informed) idealist who truly believes humans would do well in Avernus.
Et then there is Sariel et Saharial.
Minor differences in the Book of Enoch, they are known as watchers, still celestial entities under God's rule but not exactly the same as an Archangel like Michael with a far longer problem of falling from Grace.
Sariel fell due to his, and Enoch is one of the books that does give genders to these beings though many would believe that since technically they are noncorporal beings they wouldn't have genders, lust of the daughters of man. He was said to teach humans the lunar calendar, and then there is also an Archangel Sariel who was sided with Michael.
Sahariel has less on him, but is considered a labyrinth upon falling.
Fun fact, usually when something falls from Grace they usually become volatile.
Second Fun Fact, Both Sariel and Zariel are associated with the number 7, Zariel fell from the Seven Heavens and Sariel is one of the original seven angels in Judaic lore!!
