## Celestial Court

Aure is a god whom has a well known and expansive celestial (or angelic) court. Formed of 3 spheres, each rank referencing how involved in the matters of mortals vs those of Aure himself the celestials are.

### First Sphere

This Sphere of Aure are beings that interact with mortals and mortal matters most commonly.

#### Angels

Aure's Angels are possibly the most commonly interacted with of all Celestial beings. They are tasked with aiding mortals during times of hardship, with each cleric of Aure believed to have an angel personally assigned to them. When they appear, they take the form of the most numerous group of people in a region though often sporting pale yellow eyes that glow without an iris and a radiant glow around their bodies.

#### Archans

The Archans, or Archangels, of Aure are visibly similar to his Angels. They are the foot soldiers of Aure, tasked with facing Evil when it arises in protection of mortals. They aren't commonly seen in current times, though their existence is well doccumented. They again take the appearance of whatever group of people is most common in a region, though will appear visibly larger (human like Archans appear at 8ft) and bare wings of Pure light.

#### Principalities

The Principalities of Aure will only appear to followers of strong in times of great need. Said to be humanoid figures of pure light, only three verifiable appearances of these beings have been documented.

### Second Sphere

#### Authorities

Celestial machines of War, Authorities of Aure are impenetrable suits of 15ft armour piloted by Aure's light. They are tasked with defending the home realm of Aure, though are believed to have been sent to the Material Plane in some circles.

#### Virtues

The overseers of Aure's domain, these celestials are who guide the First Sphere on their duties. They hold no form, being simple orbs of light.

### Third Sphere
