Angel

Angels (Nimir in Seonian) are a race of sentient winged humanoids. They resemble humans in all ways except for their wings. Created long ago by the First of Law, their purpose is to intercede in worldly affairs where the Greater Pantheon sees fit. For this reason, they are seldom seen or interacted with by humans.

Though technically biological beings, Angels are not born, and do not reproduce, age, or die natural deaths. Andhas Nimias, the First of Law, created them soon after Denoadus was created, and new Angels come into being very rarely. They can, however, be killed.

For the most part, Angels live only to serve the Gods. They have no worldly desires or ambitions, and do not live normal lives. When they are not carrying out the demands of the Gods, they enter a deep hibernation, a state closer to death than sleep.

High up in the mountain range known by humans as the Gods of the North, the Angels reside within what is known as the Sanctuary. This grand, illustrious, temple-like building is laid out almost like a mausoleum; side by side, hundreds of slumbering Angels line the great halls within small chambers. A few remain awake to guard the Sanctuary, though its location makes it all but inaccessible.

Angels have a strict organization of hierarchy and roles. Each is a member of a particular Host. Within the Host, each rank serves a particular purpose, such as forging the uniform weapons and armor, or guarding the Sanctuary.

No knowledge or reports exist of Angel activity during the Second and Third Age, and with the absence of the Greater Pantheon at the time, it is unknown if they even existed during this interregnum of the Gods.
