Welcome back to my worldbuilding series! In Part 2, we're tackling one of the biggest challenges in Christian fantasy: How do you write God and Satan in a fantasy world?

I'm sharing my approach to portraying the God of Judeo-Christianity in my fantasy world of Petrus, including the different names and titles I'm using that reflect His character attributes. Plus, I'm introducing the five demonic entities (Elohim) that will shape this world's history - inspired by biblical theology about spiritual principalities and powers.

This is getting deep into biblical worldbuilding territory, and I'd love your input on names for God and ideas for my fifth demon!
