i wonder if we'll ever find out if there was more to the emptying of throne than the stories tell

why did the gods banish their Servants from their city? if the prime angels did not know the gods, who exactly put them there? why was heaven emptied, locked, and left to crumble?

the Primes knew the gods, but not all angels were Primes; there's only two ex-Primes conscious and kicking around right now and neither one of them is exactly a reliable source of stories about the good old days

which does raise the question of, like, is 2 Michael the sole source that creation myth comes from? last any Servants woulda saw of Throne it was a bustling pantheon, then a hintillion years later Zoss busts in and finds these giant monster angels hanging around a charnel house, slaughters them all, and the one guy who saw everything that's left talking says everyone just killed themselves I swear, p.s. let's you and me launch a coup on heaven and kill everyone just on the DL :shrug:

Here is a page with all the demiurges before they went batshit. Here they are just after the war.

Notably, these are the only places we've seen Mammon so far. Not even a dream appearance like Incubus.

Here they are at their earliest. Jagganoth is considerably smaller (and was dead at some point?) Solomon David envies that beard. Mammon and Jadis don't care.

I don't think that person with the arrows in them is meant to be Jagganoth. Not bulky, scarred, or red enough.

Edit: I still love how Solomon has the tallest throne there, in addition to his ridiculously large halo, though given Jagganoth's size he still winds up being taller.

Based on that, it looks like Incubus still retains the same general shape and form that he had before, although because of the shadowing who knows what his face looks like now.

I assume the prime angels did know the Gods. Abbadon said Metatron is the only one that has memories of them, but apparently angels lose their specific memories during reincarnation. He was simply the only one from that era that never died.

Both humans and servants originated from Throne, and were both banished into the multiverse upon its creation. Presumably to populate it, as it seems the multiplicity Gods couldn't create the flame of sapience themselves; Koss only did it with flames he took from the corpses of YIS and UN.

on that ask tumblr abbadon clarifies that metatron is the only surviving being to have known the gods in one post. michael has not reincarnated, therefore logically if the primes had known the gods he would remember them

it could have been retconned since, but

also, there's a slight but crucial difference between populating unpopulated worlds and literally emptying the birthplace of life of people, imo

I think that was speculation that's now wrong. It's all about the void-death.

Q: is solomon david a cool dude to know? like, is he anyone's pal, or is he as likely to smite/smash/slice someone as any of the other demiurges

A: Solomon David is regarded as just, even-handed, and incredibly brutal by most of his subjects. As god-emperor of the powerful Celestial Empire, his dictatorship has uplifted countless societies and crushed countless more into dust. Most people live their daily lives with a high degree of safety, industry, and prosperity under his rule, if not freedom.

The pantheon started with a single God so bored they killed themselves, resulting in the 2 new gods fighting for ages before having wicked make-up sex.

Probably not the best foundation for a pantheon.

The 777,777 gods represent all aspects of YISUN, and YISUN is (was) everything, so naturally some of those gods were chill and made of birds, and some of them were unfathomably evil psychopaths.

how has he been reincarnated for so long (look at how old and crumbly that armour is) when all of the other prime angels are still doing the building-sized chrysalis thing and show no sign of emerging any time soon

angel armour is incredibly heavy-duty poo poo, and somehow i don't see michael exposing his to a lot of wear and tear? he's been dragging that thing around for a while
