Shemihazah sketch

Okay, so our second artist has submitted his sketch of Shemihazah in his angelic form before the fall:

Barel - Defender of the East

Barel is the son of Kelnar, the ruler of the city of Kesef, the city that rests near the base of Mt. Hebron. When we first meet him, Barel is a young teenage youth, dealing with the hustle and bustle surrounding the newly arrived angelic visitors.

After the sudden death of his father and marriage of his sister, he moves on to the city of Shahar. There he befriends the ruler, Issacar, and joins the city's defense force. When the Iyr convince Issacar to submit to their guidance, he becomes a prominent leader within the Razzmada military. He receives the title "Defender of the East" for his exploits against the Saggisera.

As time passes and the addiyrben start to grow in population, his personal unit is one of the few still comprised solely of the "Sons of Adam" He still must work with and commands other units that are mixed with the half-nephilim/half-human soldiers.

He is a fierce warrior but strategic in his work. He still possesses a sense of justice and righteousness, though he no longer believes that The Almighty has any involvement in Eden.

Barel is one of the few "good" characters that is encountered in Razmadda. He never completely trusts the Watchers, and the Iyr do not fully trust him either. He is allowed to keep his station because of his fame and relationship with Issacar. He also has a lot of freedom to do as he wills, as long as he continues to follow orders from those above him.

Enosh -The Chosen Leader of Siriad

Enosh is the eldest of the leaders within Siriad. He is in charge of the affairs of Padooth, while Javin rules Thoheleth, and Shamgar rules Meshfaht. After the Watchers come and unite the rest of Eden, the three city leaders and the other leaders of the people decide to make Enosh the ruler of all three cities and lands that are associated with them and form a confederation under him. All the other cities of Eden are being persuaded to join the angelic confederation of Razmadda.

Siriad is left alone by the Iyr for a while, but the offer is eventually extended to them. With the new set up of Siriad, the decision to remain apart or join falls solely on Enosh.

Enosh in this novel is considered to be a patient, reserved, and wise person. He understands the relationship between the Almighty and man and wants to preserve that relationship. He has seen how the people of Eden have slowly fallen away from a relationship with the Almighty and tries to curb such an attitude in Siriad, though some of it has already happened. Within this book, Enosh is given a vision that will propel others to discover what the true meaning of the vision is and will uncover the true intent of Eden's new divine patrons. Enosh's patience and willingness to overlook minor indiscretions is also one of his biggest flaws.

Drawing updates

Because of the number of drawings we have to do, and the spring release for this book, we have decided to hire a second illustrator to draw the characters for us. The first drawing of Lilith is almost finished, but hopefully we will be able to begin posting at least two per month.

We are planning to begin our official marketing campaign in Spring and are going to be looking for some professional editors in the next month.

Publication Update

We are having the book proofread this fall. Since the book is large, it requires a pretty sizable investment to do this. However, we are planning on beginning our official marketing of the book in the spring and then releasing it in Summer of 2014. This date may be earlier, depending on our marketing, but we are hoping it will not be later.

Our artist is almost finished with Lilith. If anyone would like to see a special character, they can comment on one of our posts and let us know who they would like to see next.

We still do not have a website (but we do have a website design). This is because we are trying to get together a book trailer. As soon as it is ready, we will post details.

We will post updates here as we have them. We may also post a few excerpts over the next few months to give you an idea of what the book is like real time. FYI - the book is complete in its entirety, and we are beginning to write the sequel.

Thank you for bearing with us. If people do not like our book because they are not happy about the story line - that's okay, everyone has an opinion. We realize our fiction is not for everyone. However, we do not want people to dislike our book because the quality is so poor. It takes time because we are doing everything we can to make sure that it will be well edited and well put together. (And we all have day jobs at this point.)

Can Angels Die?

This is a tricky question. For the purpose of the book the answer is - yes. However, death for an angel means that they lose their bodies (which are silicon based instead of carbon based) and become imprisoned in the Abyss.

When angel's bleed, they do not bleed blood. They bleed light. Like a solar panel, they collect light and absorb it. This is why they do not need food.

They are also in tune with all of the atoms in their body and can command cells on an individual level. The allows them to morph, fly, and perform other supernatural feats.
