Angel

**Angels**, were celestial beings created by the twin Gods Lyume and Hyume to act as guards during the age when divinities walked among the earth. Powerful entities of light and goodness, they were the traditional counterparts of the Demon race and their enemies. They mostly went extinct during the Angel-Demon War 40 000 to 10 000 years ago.

All angels had a number of inherent magical powers. Scholars reported that they had the ability to grant divine aid, perform auguries, change their appearance, comprehend languages, cure serious wounds and neutralise poison, detect evil or magic, discern moral and ethical alignments. Angels could see in darkness and low light. They were generally capable of speaking the language of any creature they came across, even if they did not know it inherently. Angels were immortal and therefore did not need to eat, drink, or sleep, though they could do so if they desired to. Their souls, while not bound to a certain physical form, could be confined and limited by external forces.

Known Angels: Conah.

## Overview

### Personality and Psychology

The immense power of angels was balanced by their compassion and kindness. Beyond their propensity for goodness, there was great diversity among angels in terms of their moral and ethical sensibilities. Some were very lawful and orderly beings, ensuring that truth prevailed; others upheld the importance of freedom, choice, and creativity; while still others maintained a balance.

All angels were honest beings, who found lying or cheating abhorrent. Likewise, it was against the nature of angels to steal from others, and angels were typically honorable and trustworthy in all their dealings. Some argued that this behavior implied that angels were only ever lawful good beings, but this was only a more recent opinion. Angels were quick to vocalize their disapproval to any companions who did not act in similar manner and would seek to repair any damage done by such "misguided" peers.

Angels sought to lead by example and tried to persuade others toward righteousness without having to preach or condemn. If their goals were in direct conflict with another, they would never acquiesce. Even so, they considered violence as the last option and would never provoke a fight, desiring rather to find a peaceful solution.

Angels were rarely ever mistaken in their judgments, and they were well-aware of their status as one of the most powerful beings in the planes. These qualities could lead to a sense of superiority in an angel, but few refuted the facts. Elves and Dragons looked up to them, the latter worshipping them as gods. They in turn held these races in high regard.

### Physical description

Angels were known for their ephemeral beauty and comely appearance, which reflected their benevolent aura.

Their height and build is among the largest in the world of Lomia, averaging around 2.40-2.60 m tall. Angels possessed brilliantly shining light coloured hair and eyes. They had great white wings, whose feathers held enough magical energy to be used as cures for any ailments. Their blood dried quickly in contact with the air.

## Culture

Not much is known about their culture. Their identity as servants of the Main Gods of the Lomian pantheon indicated that order was vital for their day to day life implying a well defined law system.

One custom is that Angels gifted their mate one of their feathers as a sign of their union.

Oftentimes, the movement of their wings served as a form of para-verbal communication, showing their emotions.
