In regards to Auriel, we don't really know the circumstances of her capture, only that she was. We don't know how many scores of demons attacked her. We do know from the Wrath video though that she does have some capable combat ability.
I thought the story was alright, but some part were really lacking.
The Tyreal becoming a mortal archangel plotline was really weak and unnecessary IMO. It raises far too many questions. What does it mean for an archangel to be mortal? What happens when he dies; does Justice cease to exist? Will a "replacement" archangel be born from the arch? I think it would have been better for him to have been cast out, and then be restored by the end. While still on the subject, how can he just change his alignment from Justice to Wisdom? That seemed way out of left field and added even more to a confusing plot point.
I also was disappointed that the idea of heaven being really no better than Hell (in regards to human survival) wasn't elaborated on more. It was just a few scenes of Imperius being aggressive, but no more.
I really hope that the some of these points are expanded upon and explained in the expansion(s). I'll actually be extremely disappointed if its not.
Beyond those aspects, I think the story was fine. Nothing shocking, but still as good as I expected.
