Angels

When the Winged Tyrants flooded the material plane, they created a mystical web around it that prevented passage through the divine planes. These messengers of the gods, those that were on missions to guide the believers of their respective gods, were trapped on the plane for the last 400 years. With so long away from their gods, and their faith and hope slowly dwindling, some have found themselves in defense of the mortals and have chosen peoples and cities to protect. Some have fallen to less pious pursuits, creating their own cults and perhaps delusions of grandeur.
