Faction Name	The Angiris Council

The Eel Council is a powerful group of archangels in the Diablo universe, each personifying a positive aspect of Anu's being. Operating from the High Heavens, they are constantly at war with the demonic denizens of the Burning Hell in eternal conflicts. Imperius, the Archangel of Courage, presides over the Council with a determined but fiercely bellicose spirit. Auriel, the Archangel of Hope, brings comfort and optimism to the council, while Itherael, the Archangel of Fate, presides over the outcome of all events and decisions. Formerly the Archangel of Wisdom, Malthael becomes the Angel of Death, marking a major shift in power and perspective within their ranks. Tyrael, the Archangel of Justice, famously renounces his divinity to help humanity, demonstrating the Council's deeply held values of justice. Together, they represent a formidable force that strives to maintain cosmic balance in a time of constant and chaotic warfare.

Overview

The Eel Council, the divine representative of the High Heavens in Blizzard's Diablo universe, is the main beacon against the evil forces of the Burning Hells. Made up of five archangels, each personifies a different virtue: courage, justice, hope, wisdom and destiny. Imperius, the Archangel of Courage and head of the Council, is known for his fierce fighting prowess and indomitable spirit. Auriel, the archangel of hope, uses his calming influence to maintain unity and optimism among his heavenly brethren. Tyrael, Archangel of Justice, intelligently serves to maintain order. Malthael, the former archangel of wisdom chosen to describe the eons of existence, carried the burden of infinite knowledge. The elusive Itherael, archangel of fate, sees the many possibilities yet to unfold in space. Their combined power makes them formidable opponents to the evil of Hell, but internal strife and differing ideologies often threaten their unity. Finally, the Angiris Council plays a vital role in dictating the balance in the cosmic conflict at the center of the Diablo universe.

History

The Eel Council is a celestial governing body that rules the heavens and embodies the virtues of the High Heavens in the Diablo universe. It consists of five exceptionally powerful archangels: Imperius, the archangel of courage, Tyrael, the archangel of justice, Auriel, the archangel of hope, Itherael, the archangel of fate, and Malthael, the former archangel of wisdom who later assumed the mantle of God. Presumed Death - The Council considers matters related to the sanctity and defense of the High Heavens, the World Stone, and other important matters related to divinity.
Recorded in the annals of celestial history, the Council of Angiris witnessed the creation of the universe from the mysterious crystal ark and fought the unjust Legions of the Burning Hell in an eternal struggle. The leadership of the Council is deeply rooted in the primordial light and eternal conflict, culminating in the irrevocable decree of the War of Sins, which forever sealed the fate of mankind, hiding the Temple from the forces of Heaven and Hell.
First of all, the unity of the Council was shattered when Malthael, in despair at the incessant strife and humanity with its potential for good and evil, faded and then appeared as the Angel of Death. His transformation ushered in chaos, endangering both the heavens and the sanctuary and exposing internal strife within the council.
The history of the Eel Council undoubtedly reverberates far beyond their skies. Their actions and decisions shaped major events in the Diablo universe, with profound effects on Sanctuary and its inhabitants. Even as they continue to defend the realms of the High Heavens, their future is clouded by uncertainty and inner turmoil, a stark paradox of the constancy of change even among eternal beings.

Geography

The Eel Council is based in the Silver City, which is said to be one of the most breathtaking places in the High Heavens. This city, glittering with luminous opulence, is built only on a huge alabaster cloud suspended in the endless sky. Lush arches of silver and gold carve the vast skyscape, and the walls shine like diamonds in the eternal day of the High Heavens. Le Piscine della Sapienza, a huge fountain filled with exquisite heavenly liquids, is located in the very center of the city and reflects the nobility and enlightenment of the inhabitants.
Silver Peak, the highest point of Silver City and the meeting place of the Angiris Council, pierces the endless expanse of the sky. The crystalline structure emits light of all possible colors, visible from every corner of the city. But the greatness doesn't stop in the city. The surrounding heavenly steppes reflect an extraordinary calm, where the angels meditate in peace, strengthening their connection with the crystal arch from which they were all born.
Despite its breathtaking beauty, the Silver City has not spared the eternal conflict. It bore the brunt of Diablo's invasion, which left many parts of the city abandoned, but the resilient Angiris Council managed to restore much of the city to its former glory. Today, the Silver City is a beacon of hope and courage in the face of adversity, a testament to the firmness of the high heavens and the mighty Council of Angiris.
