Angels

"Angels. The 'blessed of the gods', if you listen to the old stories. Honestly, it feels like we're more like glorified janitors." 
-Axel Navath 
Angels, also known as the Wingborn and the Ilaxians, are a race of powerful light spirits native to the realm of Iln-axa, within the plane of Solaxis. Among the first of the races created by the Primoridal Four, it is widely considered the most beloved of the gods, and the only one viewed as being above elves in both the tan'rayy mythos, and the teachings of the Reverent Church. 
Angels are powerful creatures made of pure light an energy, compressed into a physical form that can shift at a moments notice, but is most often perceived as being immensely beautiful to the beholder, with the only consistency being their wings. As the angel ages, they will gain a new pair of wings for every notable achievement they accomplish. The most ancient of the angels are known to have so many wings that they are unable to move, and instead interact with the world through magic. These creatures, known Archangels, are the most revered by the angel race. 
Though angels live in and interact with the normal world, they are not actually creatures Central Plane, and due to their immense size and power needs their true forms are unable to leave their home in Iln-axa. Instead, they create artificial bodies for themselves, which they pilot from their dormant forms within the folds of Iln-axa. These artificial bodies are powered through the magic of Iln-axa, and are thus highly durable. However, if destroyed, the angel in question will be able to form a new one, though this process takes a lot of time and energy.
