Aion history aion

[Unclean]

I just stumbled across this wiki on "The Lesser Key of Solomon", which is a book for weirdos that think they can summon demons. Anyway, one of them is called "King Asmodeus". I wonder if there's an angel equivalent like "King Elyosa". Kind of a neat read for the parallels to Aion.

 

Oh, and one more thing - "daeva" is apparently a word meaning "demon". So all players "ascend" to demons? Is Aion actually satanic? That's kinda messed up if it is. Reminds me of a movie that came out a few years back where each child would get their own personal "demon", or personal pet. Was that the Golden Compass?

 

Fishy.

I think it was the Golden Compass, which was a horrible movie btw. It left the ending like completely open like they were making a second one, and the first one bombed so much that the 2nd has yet to see the light of day.

<h1>Asmodeus

The name of the demon mentioned in the Book of Tobias (iii, 8). The name is most probably derived from the Hebrew root meaning "to destroy": so that the being would correspond to the demon called Abaddon, the Destroyer in the Apocalypse 9:11. The Book of Tobias relates that the virgin Sara, the kinswoman of Tobias, had been given successively to seven husbands; but they had all been slain on the night of the nuptials, before the consummation of the marriage. From this fact, a superstition had arisen that the demon loved the maiden and slew her husbands through jealousy. In the Greek text of Tobias, it is stated that the younger Tobias himself was moved by this superstition. The inspired text in no way approves the superstition. God allowed the demon to slay these men because they entered marriage with unholy motives.

Rev 9:10-12

.....And they had tails like to scorpions: and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men, five months. And they had over them 11 a king, the angel of the bottomless pit (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon, in LatinExterminans). 12 One woe is past: and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter.

ASMODEUS,

Name of the prince of demons. The meaning of the name and the identity of the two forms here given are still in dispute.

 

In the Book of Tobit.

 

Asmodeus first appears in the Book of Tobit.......

 

Testament of Solomon.

 

Akin to this representation in Tobit is the description of Asmodeus in the Testament of Solomon, a pseudepigraphic work, the original portions of which date from the first century. Asmodeus answered King Solomon's question concerning his name and functions as follows:Test. of Solomon, transl. in "Jewish Quarterly Review," xi. 20.

 

"I am called Asmodeus among mortals, and my business is to plot against the newly wedded, so that they may not know one another. And I sever them utterly by many calamities; and I waste away the beauty of virgins and estrange their hearts. . . . I transport men into fits of madness and desire when they have wives of their own, so that they leave them and go off by night and day to others that belong to other men; with the result that they commit sin and fall into murderous deeds."

Asmodeus or Asmodai (Hebrew: אשמדאי‎ Ashmedai) (see below for other variations) is a king of demons mostly known from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit.^[1] The demon is also mentioned in some Talmudic legends, for instance, in the story of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. He was supposed by some Renaissance Christians to be the King of the Nine Hells. Asmodeus also is referred to as one of the seven princes of hell.

Daeva (Old Pers., daiva; Middle Pers., dēv: 'shining one'). One of a group of gods in Ancient Persia (cf. DEVA) who were denounced by Zoroaster as demonic and as gods of war and strife.

 

 

Yeah, that name and that term have been around for ....erm....forever.

 

I kinda doubt it was an accident.

Well color me ignorant! Is there anything related to the Elyos? Or is that just a random made-up name?

 

And Abaddon, like the UT2004 character? Noes!!

Helios was an ancient Greek sun god, son of Hyperion and Theia, both titans.

I dont know how its used in the game, so I dont know any context/relativity.
