* ''[[Dungeons
** The Celestial Hebdomad for the [[Lawful Good]] archons. These seven, one for each of the Seven Heavens of Celestia, most closely resemble the traditional Christian concept of archangels.
** Talisid and the Five Companions, paragons of the [[Neutral Good]] guardinals.
Line 52:
* The Archangels in ''[[In Nomine]]''. They are much more powerful than regular angels, but are Word-bound (forced to operate in accordance with their descriptive Word) and thus limited in thought and action.
* The Angels are the Imperators of Heaven in ''[[Nobilis]]''- though in a case of [[Light Is Not Good|Light Is Not (Exactly) Good]], they are ''just'' above all else. The schism that resulted in the [[Fallen Angels]] existing (at least in third edition) was that some of the angels loved everyone, even the corrupt... and for this, they were cast into Hell.
* Considering the [[Space Marines]] of ''[[Warhammer
** If the [[Space Marine]]s are considered to be [[Our Angels Are Different|Angels]], then the Living Saints can be considered to be the Emperor's actual Archangels.
* ''[[Promethean: The Created]]'' features ''qashmallim'', who are [[Our Angels Are Different|not-quite-but-maybe angels]] serving [[In Mysterious Ways|a cosmic Principle]]. There are arch-''qashmal'' as well, and when they show up, something big happens... [[Subverted Trope|though not necessarily nice]]. The book lists an example of an entire city convening to build an edifice before leaping off of it, and one adventure features {{spoiler|an arch-''qashmal'' about to irradiate all of Detroit unless the Prometheans make a sacrifice}}.
