Tarnish (GoE)

The Tarnish are a race of Angels among Men. Forged of rock and metal, they bear the wear of the world like badges of honour.
==Description==
The are currently four types of Tarnish:
*The Metal Tarnish: Considered haughty and flighty by their earthier kin, these Tarnish inhabit the strange mists of the Sea of Daj. The mists of their home wear them down in the most wonderful and fantastic of ways, with various metals reacting differently to the odd gases, painting their bodies a myriad of colours.
*The Stone Tarnish: The second oldest after their metallic kin, these Tarnish guard the the Slopes of Eternity. Their stone bodies are not painted like their brethren, but rather worn down by wind, and they consider this a purer homage to their Dusty Goddess. Their warring with the Fallen have decimated and fractured their numbers. The Stone Tarnish that remain on the Slopes of Eternity have retreated into cavernous halls to study magic-lore.
*The Gem Tarnish: Once Stone Tarnish, these are the few who fled the horrors of the Fallen by retreating southward towards the seas there. The wide open plains were ideal for their foes to pick them off, but a chance prayer to the gods saved them. Now with bodies of solid gemstone, they search for a land of their own. Gifted with superior strength and a remarkable resilence to their former foes, these Tarnish have little left to fear but losing their way. Now no longer able to decay as they were once able, these Tarnish grow either pensive as this ominous portent, or arrogant, having finally escaped the limitations of their kin.
*The Crystal Tarnish: Also known as Deep Tarnish, these are those who were not offered the sanctuary of the stone halls, but were rather forced deep into the caverns and tunnels that run through their mountain home. Their retreat from the punishing winds drove them insane, and they now lurk in the darker places, strange horrors of the Deep. Many have begun to exhibit strange crystalline growths in their new home. Many remain solid limestone, but rumours tell of a Tarnish of Quartz, a ominous portent if there ever was one.
==History==
Birthed by Dajjal who sought to rectify her own lack of creations, the Tarnish began as two experiments: the Metal Tarnish, and the Stone Tarnish. Left to their own devices, the Tarnish were largely unremarkable. But a newfound conflict with the Fallen, children of Tireas, brought a change in them, most notably the Stone Tarnish. The conflict decimated their numbers, and splintered them into three disparate groups, each physically marked by the suffering they had endured: the Crystal Tarnish took to the tunnels, the Gem Tarnish fled south while the Stone Tarnish stayed to defend.
