Sauriel (Saur-eee-el)

Archangel of Hope

"When I first laid eyes upon the Archangel Sauriel, he was brilliant in form, and towered over the stature of lesser men. He was proud, strong, but more importantly one of the most caring and kind beings I have ever met."

Travels Amongst the Realms

Sauriel is the youngest of the Archangels of Sanctum and a member of the High Council of Sanctum. Born in the Citadel of Light during the current Age of Storms, Sauriel is a loyal servant of Araneos. Since joining the Heavens, Sauriel has spent his time trying to do as much as possible for the Elder Races of the Inner Realms.

Sauriel is one of the most interventionist of Archangels, often interfering in the affairs of the Elder Races. As such, he has cultivating a large following in a short period of time in the Known Realms. He often sends messages, signs and other communications to his followers, and as such is possibly the most widely venerated amongst the Archangels.

Sauriel joined the High Council after the ouster of Azreal during the Age of Storms. As such, he is the newest being on that council, and did not participate in the Infernal Crusade nor the conflicts that precipitated it.

Faiths, Cults and Organizations

Church of Light- The Church is the largest and most powerful religious organization in the Known Realms. Most popular amongst the Elder Races, the Church is dedicated to the preservation of the Light's teaching and subservience to the Lady's will. They protect the weak, attend to the poor, and are a beacon of hope in times of darkness. While sometimes this mission can be lost or corrupted within the Church, they still hold great influence over most of Earedar. There are many smaller orders and fraternities within the Church, the most well-known being the Oathsworn.
High Council of Sanctum- The ruling council of Sanctum, the High Council rules over the forces of the Light across the Known Realms. Their leader is Araneos, Archangel of Honor and Protector of the Realms. All followers of the Light recognize him as the leader of our Lady's Church, and the reach of the council extends across known space.
Church of Hope- The Church of Hope is an organization dedicated to the veneration of Sauriel and Church of Light. Springing up in the aftermath of the Infernal Crusade, the teaching of the Church center around a shared hope for the Elder Races, and a desire to rebuild their realms.
