The Almighty (AKA the Creator, Michael’s Boss).
The Faerie Mothers, The Archangels
The Fallen, Old Gods, Old Ones
The Faerie Queens, the Erlking, dragons, The Archive
Outsiders, regular Angels, the Faerie Ladies
Ancient demons, Sidhe Knights, Denarians, Knights of the Cross
It's from the RPG that's in development. :)

I have a dispute. I do not agree that Old Gods, and Old Ones aer less powerful than Faerie Mothers and The Archangels. We have no real proof that is true, and some inkling that it maybe patently false.
Additionally Mab does not seem to fear the White God. She admits he's powerful but indicates that she feels pretty darn powerful herself. You have Faerie Queens listed as 2 orders of magnitude weaker than the White God, and that seems at odds with what we actually know from the books.
iago:
You think Mab is as powerful as God? Interesting.
No worries, though: the list presented in the book is presented as a possible ranking, not an absolute. It's compiled by a werewolf after all, not the Archive.

No I don't think Mab is as powerful as the White God.
But I don't think she's 2 orders of magnitude weaker than him. Also, we're completely unclear on how much power Mab has personally, and how much is vested due to her control over Winter.

Yeah, I hear you. But going strictly off the first ten books, it's hard to come up with any sort of list with any authority. I imagine by the end of the series -- another 12 books or so -- we'll have some better measurements. :)

Just for giggles Iago, where would Lea fall in this hypothetical, precocious werewolf-compiled listing? :)
