Since The Rival of the main character works for one,and as such said faction will be important to the story. I have most of the names of their various ranks down (e.g Seraph, Archangel, etc.) So I just need the name for the actual Organization.

The setting is a sort of pseudo-future Magitek world, if that helps any.

[up]Hey, at least it's cool.

You could always go with the old standby of "The Wrath of God" or something along those lines. Is the organization outright religious in nature, or is this just Theme Naming?

[up] A little bit of both really. Think something along the line of the Jedi Order. So something as ominous sounding like that probably wouldn't work.

The Harmonium is taken, but you could do something like that, or pick some innocous name like the Order of St. Gilroy the Peacebringer.

Latin and Aramaic are the go-to languages for a case like this. In English, angelic themes call for words like Host. Heavenly Host, Sacred Host, stuff like this. You may also pick fun names like Punishing Hand Of Lord or Terrible Swift Sword. Or something more poetic, like Myriad or Pillar Of Smoke. Have you tried looking for badass-sounding Biblical quotes? That should do.

[up] That's kinda the problem, I don't read the Bible.

The reason why it's Heaven themed(the meta reason anyway) is because the main character is half-demon, so I wanted her rival, and the Organization she works for to contrast with that.
