Angels are divine beings, the servants of the Golden Pantheon and exemplars of the virtues often seen in mortals. Angels seek to enforce the will of their holy masters, while protecting the realms of mortals from harm of all varieties. Angels seek to guide mortals towards morality, urging them to embrace the good that lies within their hearts. To an angel, watching a mortal fall to evil is the greatest distress imaginable.
The souls of virtuous mortals are allowed to enter the heavenly domains, where they will spend eternity in a state of bliss. On occasion, the soul of a truly upstanding individual will make its way to the heavenly domains. It is here the soul receives an offer. The soul may rest peacefully should it wish, or it may become an angel so that it may help the mortals it once lived among. Typically this offer is accepted, resulting in the creation of a new angel.
