Line 1:	Line 1:
		Angels do not have consciousness. Some, for specific tasks, are given reasonable facsimiles. Many are but the mouth of the god they serve, with no purpose beyond their voice.

		== On death ==

		When an angel dies, its mouth opens for the first time to reveal a sucking void. After that, it evaporates in short order.

		Any part removed from an angel before its death is preserved. Few mortals are actually willing to do this for most angels, so most of these artifacts are from the aftermath of angel/demon battles.

		Angel eyes are powerful magical foci and are extremely rare.

		Angel feathers are almost perfectly rigid, but act like a metal when broken or crushed.

		== Varieties ==

		=== Seraph ===

		Seraph feathers ring with a discordant jangling like bells. Their wings are many-jointed and cover most of the body. The top set cover the face, the lower set the legs, and the middle set beat slowly in the appearance of flying. On each joint of the wing is mounted an eye with no lid that points into the distance.

		== The Rebels ==

		Before the gods awakened the mortals, they created an angel with a true mind that could freely travel into the world as the gods could not. They sent sa into the world, where sa discovered it had a full connection to the Aether and could have near-unlimited power. This angel’s name was Odukôr.

		=== Odukôr ===

		Sa brought a legion of angels along to explore the world. In addition, sa gave the same gift of sentience that sa had to several of the angels under sa’s command.

		The gods decided that the creation of the sentient angels was a mistake because they were able to bring the power of the æther into the world, giving them influence beyond even that of the gods. Soon, the wrath of the gods fell fully upon tse, as they became jealous of kusa great power within the material world. Odukôr anticipated their coming wrath and took great measures to spread the others across the globe to ensure that tse’s legacy would not be forgotten.

		One of those stayed behind to infiltrate the legions of the gods. Sa did not expect their vengeance to be so complete and was slaughtered along with the rest of the legion who followed Odukôr.

		When the hammer fall came, Odukôr did not expect it to be so total. Every single angel that the gods could find was destroyed utterly. Fortunately, they did not know about the other sentient angels and could not find them. Several have been found since then, and the gods send their clerics with a geas of destruction. The gods are loath to interfere in the world directly after the creation of the sentient races, else they would destroy that angel themselves.

		The other angels raised to sentience are below.

		=== Tainakh ===

		Tainakh was killed after disguising veksa as a simple angel and trying to infiltrate the ranks of the gods’ angels. However, sa was destroyed along with the rest in the cataclysm that the gods caused and that created the Sky’s Rim.

		=== Xaphi ===

		Sa first revealed veksa to mortals as [[Intuvan\|Intuvan]]. Sa appeared in the lands that were to become Cald in PKV 93. As sa attracted more attention, the gods figured out kusa identity. Soon the problem became too great to bear and the gods recruited a paladin to do their work. This paladin was an elf woman by the name of Lialana, a devotee of Bahamut. Given this divine quest, she recruited some compatriots to strike forth. They tracked Intuvan for the better part of a year as sa attempted to evade them while keeping up kusa preaching. Finally the band of zealots caught up with Intuvan as sa was preaching to a crowd just outside of Lómingad. They attacked, and Intuvan was only able to kill a few of them before being overwhelmed and struck down by Lialana. Much of the crowd rose up and attacked those who were left standing, and many died with the last of the zealots.

		=== Madriin ===

		Madriin is the most personable of the angels, and has a group of people who treat sa as a revered teacher. These “Children of Madriin” can be found in the limestone caves to the southwest of the Vozen. They are happy to share their stories with travelers who would not persecute them.

		=== Cotsel ===

		Cotsel dwells at the bottom of the ocean, and has made great allies of the krakens and water primordials.

		=== Onot ===

		Onot desired to help the world in a great way, and saw an opportunity in the rise of Morvanga. Sa revealed veksa to the orcs when the time was right, and joined the fight. But the gods had great influence over their chosen, and drove an orc cleric to murder Onot in the heat of battle. That cleric then slit his own throat in regret.

		=== Seljoidun ===

		Seljoidun rules as the immortal king of the giants. Sa is a kind lord, but also very ready to deal punishment to those who have earned it.

		One of Seljoidun’s great achievements is the mathematics of architecture, which allowed sa to design and order the building of the gigantic great hall, 200 meters at its peak.

		=== γudzel ===

		There is one more angel, that no one now remembers due to active erasure from their memories.

		γudzel is responsible for the birth of true mages. After all, the gods clearly aren’t. A true mage is able to bring the power of the Aether into the world, exactly the problem that caused the gods’ jealousy before. Sa has sought out and erased kusa from the memories of all those angels who knew sa. Sa summons the greatest of the true mages to veksa to give them great knowledge.
