Angel

Angels are ethereal beings of light and purity, recognized by their radiant beauty and majestic wings. Forged by the High Creator Noma, they embody benevolence and righteousness in form and spirit. Their serene demeanor conceals immense divine power, which they use to heal the afflicted, protect the innocent, and combat forces of darkness.

Origins

Angels begin as extraordinary souls who, after enduring trials of immense fortitude, ascend to a higher plane of existence by Noma's grace. Their society values selflessness, duty, and honor above all else. Angels organize themselves in celestial hierarchies, with each rank dedicated to specific sacred duties—from guiding mortals to maintaining cosmic balance in the Afterplane's heavenly domains.

Celestial Radiance

Angels radiate an aura of divine energy that empowers and protects their allies. This natural radiance gradually heals nearby companions, strengthens their defenses, and increases resistance to negative effects. Additionally, this light disrupts the abilities of unholy or demonic creatures, making Angels particularly effective in combating corrupted entities across Solaris.

Seraphic Wings

The magnificent wings of an Angel enable them to fly with grace and agility, granting increased movement speed and enhanced perception while airborne. Their aerial capabilities allow them to outmaneuver foes and access locations impossible for ground-bound races. Angels can channel divine energy through their wings to unleash powerful blasts of purifying light against enemies.

Divine Intervention

Angels can invoke Noma's power to perform miraculous acts of intervention. They may resurrect fallen allies, restoring them to full health and cleansing them of ailments, or unleash waves of divine energy that eradicate unholy creatures. While tremendously powerful, these interventions require significant energy and can only be performed sparingly.

Regions & Relations

Though primarily dwelling in the Celestial Sanctums of the Afterplane, angels sometimes establish enclaves in Solaris's most hallowed locations, including the sacred groves of Western Osperia and the Crystal Falls of Xhan Tarn. They maintain cordial relations with most benevolent races, particularly Solarians and Guardians, while standing in eternal opposition to Demons and other corrupted entities.

Class Affinities

Angels naturally excel as Paladins, where their divine connection and protective instincts flourish on the battlefield. Many also pursue the Cleric path, channeling Noma's healing light to mend body and spirit. Some angels, especially those with tactical minds, become Knights, leading others with divinely inspired courage and strategic brilliance. Regardless of class chosen, Angels bring their innate connection to divine energy, enhancing related abilities.

Magical Affinities

Divine magic flows naturally through Angels, making them exceptionally powerful healers and purifiers. Their connection to the magic grants them abilities to illuminate darkness and reveal hidden truths. Many Angels develop affinity for Air magic, complementing their aerial nature with wind manipulation. Those who guard the boundaries between planes may develop Shadow magic to better understand and counter their demonic adversaries.

Professional Pursuits

Angels are drawn to trades that allow them to protect, heal, and guide others. Many become Enchanters, imbuing objects with divine properties that protect their bearers from harm. Some pursue the Sigilist's path, creating protective wards and sacred inscriptions that channel their divine energy. Those who serve as guardians of sacred knowledge often become Explorers, mapping the hidden sanctuaries of Solaris and ensuring they remain protected from corruption. In the Afterplane, some Angels work as Salvagers, reclaiming souls and objects that have fallen into demonic territories.
