Angel

Angels are celestials of varying humanoid-like forms that originate from any of the celestial planes. They are traditionally of good alignment and serve some kind of deity.

Appearance
Most angels have white or gold wings.

History
In the Age of Arcanum, the city-state of Aeor engineered Aeorian hunters and a disease called frigid woe to fight, among other creatures, angels.

In the Calamity, many angels were slain, and those who weren't were often wounded. The black-winged angels of the Raven Queen were devoured by Tharizdun, and when they were freed after Tharizdun's banishment, they returned as mortal kenku.

Related races
The kenku, as mentioned above, are descended from what used to be angels.

Aasimar have angelic ancestors and are guided by angels.
