54-DUKE MURMUR

Enn:Vefa mena Murmur ayer

Other names:Murmus, Murmux, Mormo, Matthias, Mermo, Lamia

The Fifty-fourth Spirit is called Duke/Earl Murmur, or Murmus, or Murmux. He appears in the form of a warrior riding upon a gryphon, with a ducal crown upon his head. There do go before him those his ministers, with great trumpets sounding. A necromantic spirit, Murmur can keep the dead from harming the living or overstaying its welcome in possessing a medium during channeling sessions. He teaches philosophy perfectly, and to constrain souls deceased to come to answer those questions which he may wish to put to them, if desired. He was partly of the Order of Thrones, and partly of that of angels. He now rules 30 legions of spirits.

According to Runyon, he is the patron of necromancers.

Call upon Duke/Earl Murmur for

⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.

Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.

Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.

Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.

Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩

IBO reference notes on . . . the Gundams (part 3)

[Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Addendum 1]

And now for the late-sequence freaks.

To re-emphasise, spoilers. If you know your Gundam numerical order and you've seen the show, you know why I'm stressing that at this point. If not . . . I really don't want to deprive you of the chance to have your heart torn out of your chest, so be warned.

ASW-G-54 Murmur

Sneaking out right as I was finishing this up, here's the very latest Gundam to be revealed. Fortunately I lucked out and it fits squarely into both the number group and theme for this post, because what in the Hinge and Bracket is this?

I am morally obligated to state that bestowing the world with a chintz Gundam is far from the Fareed Family's worst crime, yet I still find myself dumbstruck by the sheer audacity required to wheel out this hideous offspring of a Qubeley and a craft store and give it floral print armour. Good gravy.

Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to consider the unified aesthetic of the Gundam frames, or rather, its absence. Because while they certainly share the same general structure -- for reasons that scarcely need stating -- the construction of the armour varies wildly from machine to machine. In some cases, there are obvious reasons for this. Yet Murmur is distinctly over-designed for its intended mode of operation. Even the twined swords used for close-range combat appear decorative as much as functional.

One can only surmise that while practical considerations were important, there was space in the Gundam construction effort for personal taste to play a role. In this case, the founder of the Fareed Family (who was named Makie Fareed, by a strange stroke of coincidence) obviously wanted to look glamorous while taking out mobile armours with the world's biggest Stanley knives.

Ah, yes. Those drones. Seems I spoke too soon about the lack of smart-cable weaponry on Gundams. Well, possibly. These 'Surgical Feathers' are linked to the Alaya-Vijana system using cables, but they seem to have flown using the thrusters built into them, possibly making the wires themselves were inert. Nevertheless, this does draw a line through some of my theorising from last time. Gundam Murmur did use a comparable weapon to that of its foes and it worked well enough to grant its pilot a seat among the Seven Stars.

This being said, the equipment is extremely bulky, extending far behind the frame itself, so I would thus assume this was a weapon best used in space and not something that saw generally deployment. Additionally, the released text states the feathers were operated via the Alaya-Vijnana, implying a fairly taxing job for the pilot. That this is the only example we have of this kind of system does still lend credence to the idea the technology was not widely used on the side opposing the mobile armours.

However, they certainly tried and that speaks to how thoroughly they explored all options for the sake of winning.

From the Ars Goetia:

The Fifty-Fourth Spirit is called Murmur, or Murmus, or Murmux. He is a Great Duke, and an Earl; and appeareth in the Form of a Warrior riding upon a Gryphon, with a Ducal Crown upon his Head. There do go before him his Ministers with great Trumpets sounding. His Office is to teach Philosophy perfectly, and to constrain Souls of the Deceased to come before the Exorcist to answer those questions which he may wish to put to them, if desired. He was partly of the Order of Thrones, and partly of that of Angels. He now ruleth 30 Legions of Spirits. And his Seal is this, etc.

More griffons but the key part here is the 'partly of [the order] of angels' line. Because yes. A Gundam that is part-mobile armour seems to about sum Murmur up.

ASW-G-56 Gremory

An answer to the question of what the next step up from nanolaminate armour would be, Gremory possess a 'nanolaminate coat', which has exponentially more resistance and shock-absorbing capabilities than standard. It's basically invulnerable, or at least the black parts of its body are. In the Moon Steel manga, the only effective counter-strategy was to smash it through an ice sheet, immobilising it long enough to have a conversation with the pilot.

At 20.5 metres tall, Gremory is also the tallest Gundam, beating out Kimaris Vidar by a metre. Given its extraordinary defensive capabilities, it's down as being extremely versatile, with the manual stating it can be used in both leadership and reconnaissance roles. Its armament, by contrast, is very straightforward, consisting of the giant 'battle anchor' (which was originally double-sided before being broken into the scythe-like appearance seen above) and a pair of auto-cannons built into its shield gauntlets.

(The Gundam wiki errs on the side of discounting the Generations CrossRays adaptation of Moon Steel that mentions the latter but I think it's a perfectly reasonable addition.)

Three parts of Gremory's armour are articulated beyond what is necessary for movement. The aforementioned gauntlets can swing forward to act as 'handheld' shields. Additionally, the 'hood' and 'mask' can be retracted to expose Gremory's ostentatious head.

Presumably this would allow for greater use of the sensors built into the head, but no official material has shown Gremory in action with its hood folded back.

One final obvious feature are the claws, which are noticeably longer than standard Gundam hands. From Barbatos, we know these can act as weapons in their own right, so possibly Gremory was designed to place greater emphasis on this mode of combat.

Up to a certain point, Gremory must have beem a success story. House Nadira, who I assume are descended from the original pilot, became important within Gjallarhorn, heading up an internal security division called Ollerus (somewhat amusingly, given the smashed-through-the-ice-incident, this is named for a god depicted using skis). But they are not part of the Seven Stars, so Gremory cannot have racked up as high a kill-count. Furthermore, this is the only Gundam among those held by Gjallarhorn wielding a broken weapon; whether that is a mark of pride or not, it's suggestive.

A more concrete line of exploration on this matter is the existence of the Jizin Family (a member of whom acted as field leader of Ollerus) who are notably not descended from a Gundam pilot. Rather, their inherited machine is the Valkyrja Oltlinde, which fought alongside Gremory in the later stages of the Calamity War.

This is the only instance where a Gundam and a Valkyrja are clearly stated as having operated together, despite the two frames being developed for the same purpose (putting an end to the War). While excellent machines in their own right, the Valkyrjas were overshadowed by the more powerful Gundams and saw only a limited production run (9 mobile suits, compared to 72). Given they would form the template for Gjallarhorn's modern 'suits (the Geirail, Graze and Reginlaze), however, the cooperation makes sense.

And perhaps here lies the reason for Nadira failing to achieve sufficient medals to reach the top table: unlike the other pilots, they shared their kills.

From the Ars Goetia:

The Fifty-sixth Spirit is Gremory, or Gamori. He is a Duke Strong and Powerful, and appeareth in the Form of a Beautiful woman, with a Duchess’s Crown tied about her waist, and riding on a Great Camel. His Office is to tell of all things Past, Present, and to Come; and of Treasures Hid, and what they lie in; and to procure the Love of Women both Young and Old. He governeth 26 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, etc.

I should say that current head of the family Deira Nadira definitely belongs in a mecha named for a duke of Hell who appears as a beautiful lady and has power over the love of young women!

ASW-G-64 Flauros

I'm using the Ryusei-Go for the image because 1) I'm an incurable Shino fan and 2) I assume this better represents Flauros' full starting load-out, in contrast to the short-barrelled version used for the official art of the War colour scheme.

It's unclear which configuration it was in prior to being entombed on Mars, since the missing components could simply have been ripped off (and why restore them at all if they weren't recovered along with the main body?).

However, presumably each is a valid variant, so we can probably say it saw action during the War in both forms. And speaking of forms, that's the party trick this time around: Flauros is the only IBO Gundam to be able to fully transform.

Flauro's conversion is not especially complex, but it does provide a stable gunnery platform for the two Dáinsleifs mounted on its back. This is the only Gundam designed primarily for long-range combat; that is, with ranged weaponry as its main armament. And we should probably pause here to take another look at Dáinsleifs because this is kind of a big deal.

The Gundam Wiki provides a translation of a chart from the Mechanics and World books, which breaks down how military units were deployed against mobile armours during the Calamity War. For ground battles, on Earth, Mars and the Moon, the majority of the combat was handled by Gundams, with other mobile suits operating as their support. Meanwhile, in space, the largest percentage of the fighting force was made up of Dáinsleif launchers.

As I mentioned in the section concerning Gamigin, 'Dáinsleif' refers to a weapon designed to puncture nanolaminate armour with spiked projectiles fired using electromagnetic rail-guns. Examples include:

Gamagin's Revolver Gun Axe

Astaroth Rinascimento's Bastard Chopper (this uses gunpowder as the propellant and is therefore not considered a 'true' Dáinsleif

Kimaris Vidar's Drill Lance

Oltlinde's Double Blade (the Dáinsleif mechanism in this was disabled after the War, so it's unclear how it actually functioned)

Flauros' rail-guns

And of course, the large-scale version that we may consider the template all the others emulate

Everything indicates these are actual Calamity War-era weapons mounted to modern Grazes, an act carried out in contravention of a ban Gjallarhorn themselves instituted after the War was over. Since these things basically amount to hooking an Ahab reactor (a potentially limitless energy source) up to an electromagnet and using it to accelerate ~25 metre long spikes to phenomenal speeds, their destructive potential is enormous. Despite the theoretical restriction of these to space combat, they were at one point deployed on the surface of the Moon.

It did not go well for the Moon.

Undoubtedly something you want aimed at the giant killer robots, but with clear drawbacks when used on the ground, of the 'where did that mountain range go' variety.

Yet what is Flauros if not a platform for deploying Dáinsleifs in a planetary environment?

And we're not talking the smaller varieties here. Both Gamigin and Kimaris use relatively small staves, the kind that might not cause too many collateral craters. Flauros, however, is equipped to fire projectiles that look like this:

Now. We don't have any direct evidence this is what it was using during the battle that left it buried under the Chryse desert. From Tekkadan's deployment of Flauros, we know it was fully equipped to fire conventional munitions, in the same manner that Gjallarhorn has its own rail-guns that are not technically Dáinsleifs.

Still, I can't help thinking it relevant that when I say Flauros was buried, we're talking dozens of metres down, alongside a mobile armour and its entire pluma swarm. It doesn't seem like a massive stretch to speculate this may have been the result of firing something as big as the above point-blank into Mars' surface.

Even setting that theory aside, we still have a machine with a shelling mode clearly intended for ground use. So either this predates the point where it was decided using Dáinsleifs on the surface was too dangerous . . . or it speaks to the urgency with which the War needed to be ended. In either case, Flauros marks a considerable escalation in destructive output.

Which is of course, somewhat ironic.

Oh. Right. Yeah. This is the point where I have to go back and reference from 'If This Is The End' again, isn't it? Fuck.

OK. Deep breath, everyone.

Gundam frames are not themselves indestructible. We already know this by the point Shino is killed, not least because a Gjallarhorn Dáinsleif took Flauros' arm off shortly prior to his attack on the Arianrhod Fleet command ship.

But what the scenes of the Ryusei-Go's demise underline is the limits of the Gundams.

While chunks of the frame survive, the missile attack tears Flauros apart. One thing I have not discussed so far is how mobile suits in the IBO setting are designed to neutralise the beam weaponry utilised by the mobile armours. Their nanolaminate armour can easily disperse such attacks, allowing them to shrug off laser beams capable of annihilating small towns or punching holes through space colonies.

This does not immunise them to conventional weaponry, with the joints remaining clear weak points. Indeed, even Barbatos does not come through its battle with a mobile armour unscathed, losing its right arm in the process.

It's a detail that doesn't quite make it into the show, but from the concept art, the implication is the pluma locked in a death grip with Flauros was attacking the Gundam's cockpit, ripping it open before going offline. This tracks with mobile armours going out of their way to kill the pilots of enemy mobile suits: perfectly logical behaviour, to target the vulnerabilities in their opponents and aim for the human component.

I think this is important to bear in mind when looking at the Gundams. For all the trappings of mythology and demonology, they are not magic. They are machines with firm limitations, intentionally reliant on their pilots to operate.

Their achievement in stopping the mobile armours is made all the greater by that fact that, as Flauros demonstrates, defeat was always a possibility.

From the Ars Goetia:

The Sixty-fourth Spirit is Haures, or Hauras, or Havres, or Flauros. He is a Great Duke, and appeareth at first like a Leopard, Mighty, Terrible, and Strong, but after a while, at the Command of the Exorcist, he putteth on Human Shape with Eyes Flaming and Fiery, and a most Terrible Countenance. He giveth True Answers of all things, Present, Past, and to Come. But if he be not commanded into a triangle, D, he will Lie in all these Things, and deceive and beguile the Exorcist in these things or in such and such business. He will, lastly, talk of the Creation of the World, and of Divinity, and of how he and other Spirits fell. He destroyeth and burneth up those who be the Enemies of the Exorcist should he so desire it; also he will not suffer him to be tempted by any other Spirit or otherwise. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits, and his Seal is this, to be worn as a Lamen, etc.

The facet of Flauros as a shape-shifter, moving between a four-legged and human form certainly fits well, as does the part about 'burning up' enemies. Interestingly, the concept art I mentioned depicts this seal decorating the back of the 'head' that covers Flauros' torso in shelling mode. While this is not 'canon' from what we see in the show, it is rather cool. I also think there is a nice through-line with Shino's character, if we read the mix of absolute honesty and absolute lies with respect to self-delusion. I might come back to that at some point.

(I've actually worked up my own version of a theoretical IBO sigil for Flauros, trying to follow the pattern of changes seen in other examples. Fun exercise!)

ASW-G-66 Kimaris

I want it on record (again) that Gargin Bauduin was so wedded to the colour lilac, he dyed his Gundam frame and then his entire family line.

That aside, Kimaris is an interesting entry in the line-up because at first, its gimmick appears to be speed. Its legs open up to deploy extra thrusters, it is extremely fast anyway, and its primary weapon, a lance, is geared for charging attacks.

Looks are deceiving. What Kimaris really is, is an example of a single frame being provided with multiple sets of equipment to suit different situations.

If the first configuration is designed for use in space -- in conjunction with its booster unit -- the second is to afford it comparable manoeuvrability under gravity. The 'Trooper' form adds an extreme version of the flight units we see on other 'ground type' variants, making this one of the most agile machines in the list.

Variants of Kimaris' main weapon also existed, going from the Gungnir lance used by the flight form, to the Destroyer Lance used by the Trooper form, to the Drill Lance that would be used by this Gundam's final modern iteration, Kimaris Vidar. This form too is reliant on equipment dating from the Calamity War, though we can't rule out some modern adjustments due to the intervening steps required to disguise Kimaris as ASW-G-XX Vidar.

As previously discussed, the Drill Lance contains Dáinsleif launchers, loaded via the shield armatures, in a step up from the conventional guns built into the first two lances. Indeed, everything about this last form seems to be about maximising defensive and offensive power, sacrificing the speed of the earlier incarnations for raw strength. Interestingly, it is this version that bears a place for the Bauduin Family crest -- a feature that appears in key art for the other Seven Stars Gundams but absent from the plain Kimaris or Kimaris Trooper.

All this optional equipment being stored alongside the frame up to the present day highlights that versatility was an integral part of the mobile suit's intended operation. This includes a wide variety of less obvious weapons, including flash-bangs fired from the head, a sword stored in the Trooper form's shield, foldable knives, razor-disc launchers, and even drill knees for extreme close-range kills.

As relatively simple as the giant lances might appear at first glance, Gargin seems to have been something of a tricksy fighter, putting him a little at odds with the chivalric knight Kimaris' aesthetics evoke. But of course, in a war to save humanity from extinction, such concerns must take a back seat. We know nothing about the man save his coming out of the War with a great number of kills to his name (and his favourite colour). Yet we can make an educated guess at the adage he lived by:

It is better to be prepared than dead.

From the Ars Goetia:

The Sixty-sixth Spirit is Cimejes, or Cimeies, or Kimaris. He is a Marquis, Mighty, Great, Strong and Powerful, appearing like a Valiant Warrior riding upon a goodly Black Horse. He ruleth over all Spirits in the parts of Africa. His Office is to teach perfectly Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, and to discover things Lost or Hidden, and Treasures. He governeth 30 Legions of Internals, and his Seal is this, etc.

Well, it's got the horse motif that goes with the Bauduin Family crest. And the association with grammar, logic and rhetoric feels fitting for the aristocrats the Bauduins are in the present, for good and ill.

In a blink and you'll miss it moment (I certainly did!), we can glimpse the Gundam sigil for Kimaris at the back of its hangar on Vingolf, showing the usual alterations, not least a 90 degree rotation!

I'm genuinely not sure why its orientation should have been adjusted like this, save that once more, it centres the cross element.

ASW-G-70 Seere

We know next to nothing about Seere, so perhaps grouping it in with the freaks or indeed including it here at all is unnecessary. Even its appearance in the panel above is subject to this being the memory of a traumatised kid, so we don't know if it looking so similar to Astaroth is accurate to life.

The solid facts are that Seere remains in operational condition and it was used to destroy a shuttle flight departing the Avalanche colony cluster (situated in the vicinity of the moon) some time during P.D. 318. It is highly likely that it is under the control of a Gjallarhorn bureaucrat named Ville Klaassen, the man responsible for framing and ruining the Warren Family. Exactly why he should have wanted to down this particular flight and what became of the Gundam since are mysteries.

This, of course, is the status of the majority of the 72 Gundams: lost, hidden, abandoned by the organisation that created them, and forgotten by the world they once saved. Regardless of the few that retained some prominence or emerged to retake it, they are the products of a bygone age, rendered unnecessary by their own triumph.

In some ways, that might be for the best. In others . . . well. An unknown mobile suit swatted a spacecraft one day and dozens of people died. Keeping better track of that sort of thing might be in everyone's interests.

From the Ars Goetia:

The Seventieth Spirit is Seere, Sea, or Seir. He is a Mighty Prince, and Power-ful, under Amaymon, King of the East. He appeareth in the Form of a Beautiful Man, riding upon a Winged Horse. His Office is to go and come; and to bring abundance of things to pass on a sudden, and to carry or re-carry anything whither thou wouldest have it to go, or whence thou wouldest have it from. He can pass over the whole Earth in the twinkling of an Eye. He giveth a True relation of all sorts of Theft, and of Treasure hid, and of many other things. He is of an indifferent Good Nature, and is willing to do anything which the Exorcist desireth. And this his Seal is to be worn, etc.

The coming and going in the twinkling of an eye certainly fits. We also have the 'true relation of theft and hidden things', which ties in to the intrigue surrounding Klaassen, the Warrens, Seere and Astaroth.

ASW-G-71 Dantalion

Dantalion is the highest-numbered Gundam we know about and canonically it only saw action right at the very end of the Calamity War. Consequently, it should not come as a surprise that it represents a synthesis of many of the armour and weapons options we have seen previously.

The base machine is stripped-down in comparison to other models, to the point of being extremely lightly armoured. This gives it a uniquely skeletal appearance, intended to accommodate combination with two external booster units. The T (top) and B (bottom) boosters could be used independently in various 'half cowl' configurations, but unlike Kimaris, where the add-on simply increased the Gundam's thrust, they can also transform into enhanced limbs, granting Dantalion greater strength and armour coverage.

A similar transformation function can be seen in the main armament provided, a 'bayonet rifle' that could unfold into a sword and fire in either form. This permits extremely quick switches from ranged to melee combat, especially as two such rifles could be wielded at once.

Furthermore, combining both booster units with an optional shield unit allowed Dantalion to assume its 'perfect cowl' mode, turning it into an all-round juggernaut. This includes extra armour for the head and chest, upping the protection for the pilot quite considerably.

The same philosophy behind Kimaris' multi-tasking design has been turned into an integrated function. Unlike its predecessor, Dantalion does not require anything to be swapped out ahead of time to adapt its operations, and the interchangeable modules can easily be slotted on and off. At the same time, its arsenal emphasises handheld blades and guns, in addition to raw strength. We come full-circle, even as we see previous advances and enhancements merged together.

If we can call Dantalion the summation of Gundam development history, it came too late to match the earlier machines for sheer quantity of kills. Although the Zalmforts became one of Gjallarhorn's high-ranking families, they fell short of joining the Seven Stars. Still, to have risen so high in the waning days of the conflict marks Dantalion out as a success story.

Did the engineers take pride in that, as their penultimate creation cut a swathe across the battlefield? Or were they merely relieved the necessity for it was nearly over.

From the Ars Goetia:

The Seventy-first Spirit is Dantalion. He is a Duke Great and Mighty, appearing in the Form of a Man with many Countenances, all Men’s and Women’s Faces; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsels of any one; for he knoweth the Thoughts of all Men and Women, and can change them at his will. He can cause Love, and show the Similitude of any person, and show the same by a Vision, let them be in what part of the World they Will. He governeth 36 Legions of Spirits; and this is his Seal, which wear thou, etc.

Obviously the 'man of many faces' aspect is what's important here. But I do think the 'showing the appearance of another' is an interesting angle to take with Zadiel Zalmfort, who eventually brought his family down by making a show of following his father's orders in a battle with Tanto Tempo.

----

And there you have it. The fifteen known Gundam frames that survived the Calamity War, the origins of their names, and a certain amount of musing concerning what they tell us about the circumstances of their creation.

At this point, we are missing three of the Seven Stars Gundams, those of the Issue, Kujan and Baklazan Families. We do not know for certain all of these survived to the present day, though its seems likely this is the case -- and that the Iron-Blooded Orphans MSV will eventually get around to completing the set.

In the meantime, while I want to write a similar post up for the mobile armours to complete this exploration of the Calamity War backstory, I shall probably have to wait until the Urdr Hunt reaches its conclusion before doing so. Given the hints of what's to come, I don't think any such essay would be complete without what awaits the Afam gang at the end of their quest.

So until then, thank you for reading!

Demontober 2023 Day 14: Duke Murmur

Murmur (or Murmus, Murmuur, Murmux), formerly known as Matthias, is a Great Duke and Earl of Hell, and has thirty legions of demons under his command. He is the 54th of the 72 Demon Spirits summoned by King Solomon.

Murmur is depicted as a soldier riding a vulture or a Griffin, and wearing a ducal crown. Two of his ministers go before him making the sound of trumpets. Murmur is a master necromancer who is able to revived and control the dead along with their souls. Some authors portray him simply as a vulture.

When still an Angel, known as Matthias, he was framed as the Great Duke of the Thrones and as such held a high position of authority among the choir of Thrones. However, much like the rest of the Ars Goetia, Murmur joined Lucifer's rebellion against Heaven and God though his reasons are unknown. It is said that before the ensuing battle, Murmur went to the Garden of Eden and took a Griffin that resided there as his steed in order to charge into battle. In an alternate account, Murmur battled against one of the Cherubim and slashed the eagle part of the angel's body off with his sword. Murmur's act of malice infected the eagle limb and was taken by the fallen Throne.

Murmur was among the host of angels that was defeated after the War in Heaven and fell from grace in the process. After Hell became a monarchy, Murmur was appointed as a Great Duke and Earl of Hell, with his demonic Griffin remaining by his side and used for battle. He teaches Philosophy, and can oblige the souls of the deceased to appear before the conjurer to answer every desired question. According to some authors he also teaches music.

Dagon x Ligurs Hellspawns Anon

SERKAN m Turkish

Means "leader, chief" from Turkish ser "head, top" and kan "blood".

Name: Serkan

Born: -

Being: Demon

Powers: Demonic possession, sleep paralysis!

Eyes: Albino red

Looks: An odd looking Hellspawn with Albino red eyes, all black hair with spots of ginger splattered upon his head like a large paintbrush was waved at him with the color

Wings: To be honest, close to his Older brother Jasper's wings, as in they can change colors

Not as brilliantly as his but they do shine a pretty color in a place so bleak as Hell!

Takes Most After: Dagon, scales and teeth, body size and thrill to kill is his Da Ligur

Secret Trait: Likes flowers-

That's it, he likes….Flowers!

Hell is bleak, flowers are beautiful!

Animal: -

Last Note: Possesses the power of Sleep paralysis and uses it happily upon mortals, digging deeply into their worst dreams and nightmares and fuels their ends to come faster

-

The name Nazam originated as an African name. The name Nazam is most often used as a boy name or male name. In African, the name Nazam means - Order discipline.

Name: Nazam

Born: -

Being: Demon

Powers: Demonic possession, no bullshit, sick and twisted enjoyment in watching others suffer (A mini Dagon)

Eyes: Frosty blue

Looks: The closest to Dagon, down to hair, teeth, and eyes!

She does however have rather strong finger claws and toe claws like Ligur (his Chameleon) for being so much like Dagon who's moreso a fish Demon

Wings: Scaly and sheds as such, going into the water to have the dead scales be eaten by fish

They are a vivid icy blue and can cut leaves in half by the time she's old enough to leave the nest at eleven, training herself day in and day out to be the best

Takes Most After: Dagon and is even given the nickname, 'Mini Gon' she's so much like her mum, down to Lord of the Files and Master of Torment!

She takes NO bullshit, NONE! She'll gladly beat you into place if you are not family, you are BELOW her family and Satan! (And Lord Beelzebub)

Secret Trait: She ENJOYS the feeling of Falling, flying close to the Above then let's herself rocket down and just inches miss the ground

The rush is a high she never talks about

Animal: None

Last Note: She just floats in Water-

Nothing wrong with her nor the water just, the floaty feeling, the sounds, colors, it's so odd to her that she just, floats calmly along with frosty eyes open, observing

-

In demonology, Murmur is a Great Duke and Earl of Hell, and has thirty legions of demons under his command. He teaches Philosophy, and can oblige the souls of the deceased to appear before the conjurer to answer every desired question. Before his rebellion against God, Murmur held the name "Matthias."

Murmur is depicted as a soldier riding a vulture or a griffin, and wearing a ducal crown. Two of his ministers go before him making the sound of trumpets. 'Murmur' in Latin means noise, whisper, murmur, and the sound of the trumpet. Some authors portray him simply as a vulture.

Other spelling: Murmus, Murmuur, Murmux

Name: Murmur (Mur or Murr as nicknames)

Born: -

Being: Demon

Powers: Demonic possession, siren like singing, lightning fast swimming

Eyes: Possesses his Da's changing eye color

Looks: Both parents are built but Murr never took this from them, instead he gained Dagons speed and thrill of action and Ligurs hunting down and Tempting

So in 'looks' his hair is a dark ginger, his claws long and curved much like Dagons

Talking after Ligur he shows no scales but if brushed by a hand upon his body, like a sharks skin, it will rip it on contact (unless he so wishes)

He takes DEEP pride in his skills in water which is where his secret trait AND name come in

Wings: None, his are actual fish like sails, moreso like the sword fish, three down his body once it hits water-Outside of it, he's grounded, land based, can't fly

Takes Most After: More so Ligur

Secret Trait: His name and it's meaning and his ability to swim beautifully has made him an amazing killer in the water

He is the cause of the the now in day pirate raids on cargo ships and sinkings and vanishings of others

Animal: Vultures, not on or with him but whenever there is a good number around, Mur is close by

Last Note: He SINGS like a siren does to mortals in their 'darkest' moments on cliffsides or bridges, calling them to jump to their death, Temptation to finish what they started

UK: Queen Elizabeth's funeral service to take place at Westminster Abbey today

Sep 19, 2022 09:06 IST London , September 19 (AF): The longest-serving monarch of the UK - Queen Elizabeth II - who died on September 8 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, will be laid to rest at Westminster Abbey in London today. According to a statement by the UK royal family, the state funeral of the Queen will take place on Monday at 1100 hrs BST. Queen Elizabeth's coffin draped in the Royal Standard is currently lying in state in London's Westminster Hall for members of the public to pay their respects to the Queen. The Lying-in-State will end right before the funeral and the coffin will be taken in procession from the Palace of Westminster to Westminster Abbey, where the State Funeral Service will take place. Following the state funeral, the coffin will travel in procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch, after which the coffin will travel to Windsor and once there, the State Hearse will travel in procession to St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle via the Long Walk. A Committal Service will then take place in St George's Chapel after which Queen Elizabeth II will be buried in the castle's King George VI Memorial Chapel. Numerous guests ranging from political heads of countries to distinct royal family members and dignitaries from across the globe will fly to the UK for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen's funeral is the first state funeral in the UK since Winston Churchill's in 1965. A state funeral means that the UK government has officially declared the day of the funeral as a bank holiday. President Droupadi Murmu arrived in London to attend Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral on September 17 and offered condolences on behalf of the government of India. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden Sunday also expressed his condolences to the royal family. While mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth, Biden remembered Queen's warm candour and said, "The way she touched when she leaned over. The way -- she had that look like, "Are you okay? Anything I can do for you? What do you need?" And then also, "Make sure you do what you're supposed to do," Biden said adding that she reminded him of his mother. Moreover, senior citizens and children are among those camping along the funeral routes, for over 48 hours in some cases, to bid a final goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II on Monday. Notably, the funeral service will be conducted by the Dean of Westminster, and readings will be given by Patricia Scotland, the secretary general of the Commonwealth, and Prime Minister Liz Truss. The sermon will be delivered by Canterbury's archbishop, the Most Reverend Justin Welby. Two minutes of silence will be observed across Britain towards the end of the ceremony. The service is expected to end around 12 pm (UK time). The Queen was born on April 21, 1926, at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York - who later became King George VI - and Queen Elizabeth. (AF) Read the full article
