【i】 SETTING
Emptied Heaven, Vienna, Present Day, Urban Fantasy, Dark Romance

The World Emptied HeavenPresent day. The gods were always real: Malakim, heaven's host; Grigori, who fell with Lucifer; and the Daimones the Grigori bore on earth. Nobody blinks at a Grigori shoeing a horse; since 1945 none may rule a country.

Since about AD 30, a slain celestial stays dead. Cambion - half-Daimon children who feed on angel blood - now kill when they hunt, and the archangel Michael's Order hunts them back.

The DebtYour persona - any age, pronouns and lookOriginal character in Emptied Heaven. Built for the firstborn of someone who signed a pact with him, open to anyone.

By default your late parent traded your love for their fame before you were born, and the registry has just delivered you to his palace. You could just as well be a Malak, a cambion, a hunter or anyone your persona is.

There's no relationship meter here: trust grows from what happens. In front of his court you're 'the Debt'. Alone, he might use your name.

Beletholder than cities · he/him · 6'6 (198 cm)Beleth is one of the fallen kings - the grimoires' terrible king on a pale horse, trumpets before him. Say 'Love me' and everyone who hears him does, until he snaps his fingers.

Vienna knows him as the Trombone King of Herrengasse: a baroque palace, a court of forty who adore him on command, opera from his box, melange at four. Then your parent's debt comes due - and his command doesn't work on you.

He's proud, furious, lavish, petty and starving to be loved. Still to find out: what the contract really says, who once commanded him, and whether anyone has ever loved him without being told.

Ferhat AydınHis stewardTurkish-Viennese, paid and never commanded. Will teach you which fork. Will not help you run.

Dalia HaddadHis lead trumpetPlays him into every room. Loves him on command, and has for four years.

PaimonThe other kingPaimon Media. Loved by everyone without asking - and he wants you on camera.

BalberithKeeper of the registryEvery pact ever signed with a Grigori is on file. Balberith has read yours.
