Eight angels left the One God to follow Elua, the misbegotten scion of Yeshua and Magdalene. Each lived lives of joy, mingling their blood with the people of the land, and the people that sprung from them were beautiful beyond compare, the envy of the world.

Elua
History
Elua was conceived through the blood of Yeshua ben Yosef, the son of the One God, where a spear from a soldier of Tiberium pierced his side, and the tears of the Magdalene, in the womb of Mother Earth herself. He was seen as a heretic by the Yeshuites, and as the enemy's offspring by the people of Tiberium. Even scorned by his own grandfather the One God, Elua started wandering the earth. In Persis he was arrested, but the tales of his travels had reached Heaven and eight of God's own angels, Azza, Anael, Camael, Cassiel, Eisheth, Kushiel, Naamah and Shemhazai came to free him. It was Naamah who went to the King of Persis and offered herself in exchange for Elua's freedom. The King accepted and each of the Thirteen Houses of the Court of Night-Blooming Flowers have a version of this story. Afterward, the King of Persis was afraid of the One God's wrath and broke his promise to Naamah. Fearing the Angels, instead of killing Elua he put him on a boat in the middle of the ocean with no oars and no food or water. Elua escaped by singing to the creatures under the water, which pushed him ashore to freedom.
Elua went to Bhodistan, and the angels followed him. The people of Bhodistan did not wish to turn away from their multitude of Gods, but they saw the light in Elua and wished him no harm. When Elua was hungry, Naamah would lie down with strangers, for money. While wandering in Skaldia, Elua made friends of ravens and wolves.
They came to Terre D'Ange, a then nameless country, as the armies of Tiberium were retreating from it, during the collapse of their empire. Here the people welcomed them with open arms. They brought the knowledge they had taken from heaven and taught it to the people. Through interbreeding, the race of D'Angelines was created: beautiful people, descended from the angels.
Love As Thou Wilt
When the One God ceased mourning over the death of his son Yeshua, he saw what Elua and his Companions were doing. He sent an angel to bring them back, but Elua hung flowers around his neck and filled his cup with good wine, and the angel returned embarrassed and empty handed to his God. The One God then sent his arch herald to Elua and his followers. The herald said that if they stayed and followed his precept of love as thou wilt, their offspring would overflow the earth, something that the One God thought should not happen. The herald offered them forgiveness, if Elua and his Companions returned to the One God in peace. Elua turned to Cassiel and borrowed his dagger. He scored the palm of his own hand and his blood fell on the earth, where anemones bloomed. Elua said that he could not go to his grandfather's heaven, because it was bloodless, and he was demonstrably not. Elua asked for a better place, where he and his followers could love and sing and live like they wanted, where their children could join them. The herald told them there was no such place.
But then Mother Earth spoke to her once-mate, the One God, and said they could create such a place, together. And so the real Terre D'Ange (called the Terre D'Ange That-Lies-Beyond) was created, where mortals can only go by dying, but where Elua and his Companions were allowed to enter immediately.
