Angels

Angels serve the gods, who often deploy them to guide and protect humanity. They come in several general types, and further variations exist within these types, connected to the god the angel serves. Beings of love and light, angels are incapable of hatred or spite, and while the more powerful kinds can detect falsehood, the weaker varieties struggle to detect - or even conceptualise - deceit.

History
After they came into the world, the gods created angels to serve them in their own realms. After humanity was stolen from Aurelius by the gods, they deployed angels to protect and serve their new subjects.

Physicality
Angels appear as impossibly beautiful winged humans, and unlike demons, they have natural bodies. Rather than matter, their bodies are composed of light, concentrated and bound with the love of the gods to form bodies.

Cherub
The most minor of the angelic orders, Cherubim are often sent as advisors to favoured servents of the gods. Cherubim take the form of white-winged children and lack physical power, but are wise and clever.

Seraph
The soldiers of the gods, Seraphim are powerful warriors and are often sent to guard important people or holy places. These angels appear to be young, muscular men and women in their early twenties with white wings, and they're almost never seen unarmed.

Planetar
Looking like ageless humans with blue skin, white hair and golden wings, Planetars act as commanders of the Seraphim when they're deployed in numbers. Planetars are the warrior-philosophers of the angels, and spend their spare time in discussion and quiet contemplation. They're also occasionally sent to take down particularly powerful devils or Voidspawn.

Solar
With their pitch-black skin, golden wings and burning gold eyes, Solars are figures of awe and majesty. They're only ever seen in Teldaris when a god sends one to impart a great revelation on a prophet - no threat great enough to require the presense of a Solar has ever threatened Teldaris directly, and thus a wrathful Solar is an unheard of sight. Legends state that four solars stand guard over the Pit, where Aurelius is imprisioned along with wicked human souls.
