Aasimon

Clueless's picture

Aasimon (ASS-eh-mun) are servitors, warriors, stewards, and heralds created by the gods of good. The common folk often call them angels. Unlike Eladrin, guardinals, and Archons, they aren't true manifestations of good, or true personifications of the upper planes; they serve the gods, and their role stops there. Because gods are seldom perfect, they've been known to fight against one another in "holy" wars.Aasimon (ASS-eh-mun) are servitors, warriors, stewards, and heralds created by the gods of good.

Their evil equivalents would be any servitors created by the gods of evil, such as minions of Set, linquas or the like.

Aasimon include Agathinon, devas, solars, planetars, and lights.
