Angelic is a fan language based on the world of the webcomic Slightly Damned.
In the words of the comic's creator:
"Unfortunately, I am no J.R.R. Tolkien. All the Angelic you see in the comic is a bunch of symbols I made up on the fly. There’s no guide, no translation. It’s all nonsense."[1]
Internal mythos
Edit
Angels live in Heaven with Mother Gaia, their creator. Their duties range from making the afterlife pleasant for souls in paradise, and doing battle against the forces of Hell.
