The Cabinets

 

THRONES BEFORE THE SHADOW

In the radiant dawn of Shamayim, before the First War of the Skies, the clan of Archangel Lucifer was a wonder of brilliance and harmony. None among the Twelve Archangels commanded a host more refined or radiant in knowledge. To maintain order within his vast dominion, Lucifer established The Cabinets, a sacred council of seven — six angels of might and one Archangel, himself its head. Their purpose was noble: to counsel, to judge, and to administer harmony among his multitudes.

Each of the six was chosen for their excellence: Agrat, a Queen-angel of persuasion and peace; Abyzou, the keeper of boundaries and guardian of purity; Eisheth, the mistress of wisdom and song; Azazel, the King-angel of discipline and armory; Malphas, the builder and guardian of dominions; and Beleth, the King-angel of command and courage. Together they were the pillars of governance in Lucifer’s house — the breath between authority and mercy.

The Cabinets sat in radiant halls where decisions echoed like psalms. Their task was to maintain virtue within the clan and resolve matters of cosmic law entrusted to them by the 24 Elders. Yet within their perfection lay a seed unseen — a unity so absolute that none could challenge their head, not even in counsel. Their harmony, though divine in form, slowly bent toward devotion to one voice: the voice of Lucifer. When the spark of pride touched his heart, The Cabinets did not resist — they reflected. Thus, what began as an instrument of order would one day serve the most elegant rebellion ever conceived in Shamayim.

The Cabinets was a seven-member council formed within the clan of Archangel Lucifer. It functioned as a governing body prior to the rebellion, designed to manage the affairs of Lucifer’s angelic hierarchy. Records from the Chronicles of the Elders describe it as an internal court that supervised judgment, training, harmony, and delegation of authority within Lucifer’s dominion.

The council’s structure reflected a balance of gender and rank, featuring three Queen-angels and three King-angels beneath Lucifer himself.

- Lucifer (Archangel) – Supreme Head of the Council

- Agrat (Queen-angel) – Chief Diplomat and Voice of the Clan

- Abyzou (Queen-angel) – Keeper of Law and Boundaries

- Eisheth (Queen-angel) – Archivist and Custodian of Knowledge

- Azazel (King-angel) – Commander of Armies and Discipline

- Malphas (King-angel) – Architect of Strongholds and Order

- Beleth (King-angel) – General of Command and Strategy

Originally, the 24 Elders approved the formation of this council, recognizing it as a model of administrative perfection among the clans. However, it gradually evolved beyond its mandate. Lucifer’s growing sense of autonomy and philosophical divergence from the Elders shifted its orientation from service to sovereignty.

After the Fall of Lucifer, The Cabinets were disbanded. Yet in the Olam-Chuphshah Universe, where Satan (Lucifer’s new name after judgment) reigned, the structure was resurrected under a new title — The Executive Council. This darker counterpart expanded its membership to include demons of high rank drawn from all fallen clans. It no longer governed in light, but in hierarchy, command, and dominion over the legions of darkness. The shift from Cabinets to Council symbolizes the transformation from celestial order to infernal rule — the shadowed reflection of what once was perfect.

There are whispers that The Cabinets were never merely a council — they were a throne room in rehearsal. Within their circle, reverence for Lucifer grew into awe, and awe into allegiance deeper than reason. The seven often met beneath the Vault of Sapphire Flame, where the light from Ahavah’s river shimmered through the ceiling like fire across water. There, in silent concord, they planned the harmony of their clan — or perhaps, the architecture of a greater dream.

When Lucifer’s voice began to question the Elders’ decrees, none among The Cabinets opposed him. Agrat’s calm words soothed his doubts; Eisheth’s wisdom gave eloquence to his pride. Azazel trained his hosts with greater zeal, and Malphas built halls that no longer faced the Throne of Ahavah but the eastward edge of Shamayim — toward freedom. Even Beleth, loyal to the core, began to see Lucifer not merely as leader but as destiny itself. Thus, by unity, The Cabinets wove their own undoing.

When the rebellion finally erupted, their names were among the first struck from the Scrolls of Life. Yet their legacy endured, reshaped by shadow. In Olam-Chuphshah, the seven thrones became many — their design twisted but their structure intact. What was once a mirror of justice now reflected dominion and despair.

Some celestial scholars argue that The Cabinets were never evil — only too unified, too harmonious, too trusting of brilliance untested. Others say they were the architects of rebellion, the first to turn counsel into conspiracy. But perhaps the truth lies in between: that The Cabinets, like fire, were meant to illuminate… until the flame forgot its purpose and chose instead to consume.
