The Luminaries

The Luminaries are celestial beings created by Ellarium at the beginning of time.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Not much is known about the Luminaries' natural form as they usually hide within the Veil. Seeing them in their natural state in the physical realm is a rare occurence and a sure sign that the one to whom they reveal themselves has been given a divine assignment. When seen, whether within the Veil or without, they appear as a large orb of blinding light. The only discernable part of their bodies are their wings, which are feathered and have eye-like patterns dotting them all over.

Social Structure

Luminaries are divided into two equal, yet distinct, classes: messenger and soldier. Within each group, there are individual ranks and approrpiate authority for each rank. The highest rank of any division is classed as the Luminary Supreme.

Average Intelligence
