Ethereal Angels

Ethereal angels are the divine heralds of the deities, acting as a sort of adviser to worshippers of their respective gods to allow the worshipper to know what the gods wish them to do. It is extremely uncommon for a deity to directly contact one of their worshippers if they are less in status than a divine champion which is equally rare, instead the ethereals give clerics and priests commands on behalf of their deity which they do not need to get permission from the deity first so long as it align with the deities goals; for example an ethereal may task their cleric with finding and protecting an ancient relic while another may simple tell their priest to spread the word of the deity they worship.

*"The heralds from which a holy-person may hear from if their devotion has long gone unquestioned, they work alongside priest and clerics; in a sense, with grace and beauty only heard of in tales and tavern songs."* - Prof. Kaysi Halbrunt

## Physical Appearance

Ethereal angels more commonly have skin, hair, and eyes which reflect the metallic variety: iron, gold, silver, steel, etc. are all colors which are found most commonly in the appearance of these types of angels. However, their most notable and identifying feature is their unidentifiable features as an ethereal angel's beauty cannot be seen by anyone but their fellow angels or their deities for everyone else, their face is masked in blinding light a cosmic mixture of purple, black, and gold. Their aura is more powerful than the Oavii; the angel type which is weaker in power than the ethereal; providing light and protection farther out from the angels' body. Additionally, the ethereals have the things most commonly associated with angels, likely due to the ethereals being the most commonly seen by mortals, wings, fluffy and pale feathered with accents of gold.

## Personality

Imposing but charismatic, everything about the ethereal angels make them fascinating from their unseen beauty to their literal silver tongue, they are the second most common to bed a mortal besides their lesser the oavii. They are serious for the most part and dutiful to a fault where they will do anything to provide their service to their master but, it is often that a particularly interesting mortal may catch their eyes and stray them from their initial path; in this event the Ethereal Otheon may be created which the angel will raise with the same vigor and sense of duty as serving their master, providing riches and comfort for both the child and other parent.

## Possessions

The ethereals are all equipped with a pair of flaming short swords which are affixed with a chains at the end they that carry with them in a pocket dimension at all times, to grab the weapons from the pocket dimension it is believed they think or speak a command word and simply grab the weapons out of the sky. Additionally, they are granted a clasp of armor and a basic +1 dagger. Whereas the Oavii can always be seen clad in traditional mortal clothing's depending on where they may be travelling to, the ethereals, like many other angels, don't really believe in the need of clothing and as such they typically walk naked when in the upper realms; when they visit a mortal realm they may wear a simply loin cloth or very loose robe in order to adhere to the mortals standards and not make them uncomfortable.

## Abilities

### Spellcasting

Unlike the oavii and even lesser Odaelion, the ethereals are the first type of angel strong enough to be granted magical spells and abilities that they can enact through simple somatic and verbal components but do not require the spells material components. These are the spells ethereals have access to:

#### One per day

#### Two per day

* Teleport
* Freeze Creature

#### Three per day

## Combat

Ethereal angels prefer distanced combat using their spells and flame short swords to whittle enemies down, whoever would dare challenge them. However, as a back up if they cannot defeat said opponent, they will use their Teleport spell to be safely transported to a place they know is safe; typically they leave their last spell from that category in order to escape.
