Born out of the flux of Primordial Chaos, the angels have erected Heaven as a bastion against a hostile universe. Even so, the Cacoastrum (the stuff of chaos) periodically grows violent and assails the walls of Heaven in great Waves, which the angels must fight to keep back. At the same time, the Waves are the only way angels may reproduce, for they force their will upon the flux as they fight and it mimics them in response. Now, during a lull after the Third Wave, the angelic lord Yaweh sets forth an ambitious Plan to erect a permanent safe haven against the chaos. Many may die in the creation, but it is fewer than will die in another Wave.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Not all agree with the Plan, however. Some fear dying in the execution. Others question whether it is right to force others to face the flux. Rumors and discontent filter through Heaven faster than truth, and discord arises in their wake. Though none want it, conflict seems inevitable...To Reign in Hell is a 1984 fantasy novel by Steven Brust that retells the story of Yaweh's creation of Heaven and Earth, and Satan's creation of Hell. It is notable for its simple, yet compelling cosmology, its witty use of language, and its depiction of the War in Heaven as an avoidable catastrophe that was tragic for all concerned. | |

To Reign in Hell / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: The basis of the novel's entire characterization and plot. Yaweh is merely the firstborn angel and as fallible (or more so) than the rest, Satan is honest and forthright to a fault, Lucifer is magnanimous and cares intensely about free will, Yeshuah is almost bipolar with a desperate need to be loved... The entire point of the book is to recast the War in Heaven as a tragic falling-out of honest but fallible people goaded on by a few malcontents, rather than as a titanic battle of good versus evil. | |

Aerith and Bob: The names of the angels draw from several angelological and demonological sources, resulting in a mixture of names derived from Hebrew (Yahweh, Satan, most other angels), Latin (Lucifer) and Arabic (Harut). And then, of course, names like Michael and Gabriel are common names nowadays. | |
