Basic Introduction to Allies of Majesty

Allies of Majesty is set in the world we know during any time period. One difference is that the character you play is an elohim, a spiritual being often called an angel. Specifically, you are a Watcher, tasked with watching over and guiding humanity and overseeing the whole of creation. You are loyal to Elyon, the Most High, eternal Creator of all things. Elyon is elohim. No elohim is like Elyon. Your enemies are your brothers who have chosen not to serve the Most High, but rather their own selfish appetites. The humans you defend have the potential to decide their ultimate allegiance as long as their mortal lives persist.

Allies of Majesty is a tabletop roleplaying game where players engage in cooperative storytelling. It is ideally played by 2-6 players, one of whom will function as the Host, presenting the story and controlling the environment for the rest of the players. The game is played around a tabletop, but sometimes that tabletop is virtual for people playing remotely. Players each control characters they have created and customized and get to roll a lot of dice. 

Characters in Allies of Majesty can be one of the 4 basic Orders: Warrior, Messenger, Ministering Spirit, Minstrel. Players can also choose to be any combination of these Orders, even all 4.
