Aasimar

The light of the gods still shines upon Allenia, even from behind the Divine Gate. Aasimar are the purest expression of that divine light as it burns within every mortal soul, for the souls of those blessed with an angelic ancestor blaze brighter than any other. Even rarer than the Tieflings with whom they share a commonality of ancestry, Aasimar are mortal, and yet are understood to be destined for a grander cosmic purpose than others around them. In every culture across Allenia, the birth of an Aasimar is seen as a blessing and a portent.

Aasimar who can bear the burden of their destiny become champions of noble causes and encourage others to walk always in the light. More often than not, however, an Aasimar saddled with a vague destiny and the grand aspirations of their clan ultimately falls from grace, their inner light succumbing to shadow.

In some instances there can be a Fallen Aasimar where its power is granted by another darker source.

Whether descended from a celestial being or infused with other planer power, Aasimar are mortals who carry a spark of the Outer Planes within their souls. They can fan that spark to bring light, ease wounds, and unleash the fury of the heavens.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Aasimar can arise among any population of mortals. They resemble their parents, but they live for up to 160+ years longer than there usual species and often have features that hint at their celestial heritage. These often begin subtle and become more obvious when the aasimar gains the ability to reveal their full celestial nature.
