The sound of the water pulsed
Pressure pushed them on beat by beat
Marching forwards, dying upon the beach
And with each stroke they pulled the sand
Dragging it upon the stones
Polishing their faces smooth

Starting with the Leliel, Angel of Night and moving forwards, I'll be adding a special credit to everyone who pledges at the higher support tiers on Patreon. At that level of support, you've gone so far above and beyond what I could hope for, that I feel you need something extra beyond the downloadable rewards that are currently due.

You have to give up a certain amount of stability and safety in order to gain both creative and financial control of your work. To me, that trade off is essential but I often feel like it’s not clear to people what I’m doing or how it fits into the landscape of this industry.
Read MoreThe Book of Watchers, is more than just a book about the Watchers. It's the first glimpse beyond the mysterious beginnings of Angelarium's larger narrative. One of the most important figures in this narrative is Raziel. He show's up only in the opening of Book of Emanations but he wasn't illustrated until after the book was complete.
Raziel is that which is not known. Which makes him a very familiar figure to us. We live our lives bathed in unknowing. The vastness of the universe means that we'll never really experience more than a small piece of it, the rest is Raziel's territory. He acts as a docent to the Infinite and transcribes all knowledge inside his book. That book is an important part of the Angelarium lore. You may have already seen it and not realized.
