==Angels==
Angels are representatives of higher powers usually, and the only definitive evidence that there are any such things as "Gods". Even then, they tend to be infuriatingly ambiguous about their origins, allegiances, and powers at times.

One thing is certain, they have a love of the dramatic.  Whenever they appear, they usually cast a bright light behind them and yell boomingly "BE NOT AFRAID", to the now startled viewers.  Aloofness and cryptic conversations will usually follow.  Less authoritative Angels can be talked out of doing this with time and familiarity, but it is rare for anyone other than an <<Insert High Priest Equivalent>> to speak with one of their respective Angels on equal terms.

Not to be confused with angles, a mathematical term, or Angles, rogue shapes and wandering things from the Geometric Planes.

; Iron Angels

:These angels are the standard image of classic angel.  Flawless human visage and form, they are created by Myrthter to answer and aid the cries of humanity (<strike>Isn't the fact they are more beautiful than us more likely to make us kill ourselves?</strike>).  When manifesting their powers and miracles, a halo of iron and wings of precious metal will appear, with the side affect of turning spilled blood into water.  Appearance and detail of these manifestations are thoroughly recorded to become more and more complex based on the divinity of the angel.  Their duties range from healing, messengers, warriors or morale boosters.  Some would posit though their miracles cover a larger and more generalized domain, they sacrifice outstanding performance in specialized fields such as the war angels of Ter or the forest sprites of the Nine.  They do not age, and pairings between them and mortals, though rare but existing due to the nature of angels representing humanity and thus love, offspring produced is often whisked away by the holy parent, or must endure an existence of unwanted worship and adoration.

:Current rankings according to Theology

::''Blessed'' - Capable of performing singular miracles, usually that of healing or protection.  Most resemble children or adolescents.

::''Sacred'' - These angels fit the more standard mould, and resemble many different walks of life, but all adult human.  From the inspirational robed muses the Harmonies to the charitable white garbed Irenics, the fearless metal garbed Courages and the determined armor fused Dauntless, etcetera, etcetera.  Two miracles to their names, whose domain is defined by their class.

::''Sainted'' - Usually a soul who has done great good in life, now in service and guardianship after life.  Men and women of the Iron Church aspire to follow even a single aspect of these raised humans, who can rouse spirits and repent sinners, banishing demons and repelling monsters.  Often awarded to successful Seekers of the Church, paladins, priests or pilgrims alike, they are capable of two or more acts of miraculous domain as they were in life.  Despite that, there are often great differences between the nature of these miracles as they cover the nature of the person when they were alive, so war Saints would bolster combat and bring men to great deeds, while guardian Saints would protect travellers and lost children, and so forth.
::Notable saints include:
:::Saint Viterus, the Pure:  Invoke his name to bolster unity and destroy the corruptive influences.  Many a crusade against the abominable and infernal have been made in his name.

::''Divine'' - These are some of the greatest angels around, said to be as old as Myrthter himself.  Usually termed archangels, many of them are warriors nonpareil, being called on to combat Demons will do that to you.  Each embodies some aspect of humanity, being paragons of mankind and their images have been used as inspirations and muses for many a sacred icon.
