Line 87:
* The setting of Sanctuary in which the ''[[Diablo]]'' series takes place primarily concerns a war between demons from the Burning Hells and angels from the High Heavens. The demons are led by the three Prime Evils and the four Lesser Evils, and in the final book of "The Sin War" trilogy, a council of five angels referred to as the Angiris Council decide the fate of the world after the main conflict is over. The angels, by the way, are doing a [[Crapsack World|really lousy job]], but then they're kind of jerks anyway, the main exception being Tyrael, the archangel who cast the deciding vote for humanity to continue to exist.
* Celestia from ''[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness]]'' game has the angels (and in one of the [[Multiple Endings]], the [[Noble Demon]]) praying to [[God]]; though he doesn't actually seem to live there. It's implied that there is a higher heaven (where Kurtis's dead family is); and "lower" hells. Although, to be technical, Celestia and the Netherworld aren't Heaven or Hell at all, but the Japanese concepts of Tenkai (literally "Heavenly world") and Makai (literally "Demon world") that don't have equivalents in modern Western thought.
** In the bonus chapter of the PSP remake, Volcanus tries to trick Flonne by calling out to her and ''claiming to be God''. Make of that what you will.
*** Considering [[Jerkass|what a dick]] Vulcanus is {{spoiler|- being burned by the anti-evil pendant and all -}} it's probably fair to say he's not a reputable source to be listening to in terms of what might or might not be God's intentions in the series.
