Um. Wow. And in some ways it makes sense. Beleth wasn't an Archangel at
the fall. But the Angel of fear was afraid that she *would* fall, a more
terrifying concept than she had ever dealt with. During the Battle,
Lucifer convinced her that she *had* fallen and she followed him from
that belief. Later, Lucifer then raises her to being a Superior. (Where
does it say in Canon that Lucifer can only raise Demons to
Superior-hood?)

Agreed on the first part, but don't really understand the second half...

Yup, Asmodeus doesn't get angry, it isn't appropriate as part of the
Game. 

Actually, Lucifer has already started that backup plan. If Beleth either
truly falls or realize that she hasn't Fallen, Lucifer will hand the
duty for the Marches over to Nybbas. What, you thought that Raising a
Demon Prince designed to alter what humanity created on the Ethereal
Plane didn't have anything to do with being a backup for Beleth?

Well, not quite. Quetzalcoatl existed as a god for various cultures of
Mesoamerica for almost 2000 years. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzalcoatl and there are other Aztec gods
that were adopted from other previous Mesoamerican culture.

On the other hand, nothing would set a Pantheon of gods so completely
against Heaven as already being killed off before they exist. 

>See?  Perfectly logical.  :)

This is the type of discussion that makes Litheroy *swear* that Jean has
a sense of humor.
