Angelic Beings

That the Children of Fire are "angelic beings" is clear from any description I give them. But how close they are to real angels I cannot say. I doubt very. But there are similarities.

The Children of Fire have the power to assume any physical form they desire. These forms can be of real things, familiar to the mortal Free People who populate The Great Sea. Or they can be something entirely new and confusing. There is no limit.

I expect that is true of real angels, too. As spirit beings they are not bound by the physical. They can look like people, animals, or anything else. In the Book of Ezekiel we read how the prophet saw a vision of angels who's descriptions seem to indicate they appeared as machines. Possibly spaceships. More than a few people have suggested that those U.F.O. sightings which cannot be explained by means of human creations, or natural earth events, could possibly be angels/demons flying through the air. Don't know. Could be, I suppose.

The Children of Fire have divided themselves into two groups: those who support the High King's decision that Madatar be given control of The Great Sea, and those who oppose it.

That's kind of true for angels, too. Most of them have remained true to God and serve him with all their heart. But some have turned away. For whatever reason, they now oppose God. In Revelation, Chapter 12, we read how the dragon's tail, "swept down a third of the stars of heaven".

The thing is, though, Swords of Fire is not about our world, our redemption, or even the angels which come here. Swords of Fire is about a different place, with different people, who follow a different code. So don't get too hung up when even my "good" angels don't behave according to scripture. They're following a different book.
