History

Semi-divine beings, descended from angels, sent to guard and protect the other races. Over the generations their semi-divine blood has lost its potency and they're now only slightly stronger than the other races.
They have a long history of imperialism and appropriating "lesser" races for their needs. One such case is the Fel Elves who were selectively bred intoOrcs. Through arranged marriages and strict breeding policies they've managed to become the physically and mentally superior species they are today.
