Archon
Archons of Dark and Light Aspects are known as Celestials and Abyssals. These two groups are so different in their core outlook on the world that Celestials usually can’t abide the company of Abyssals for long. This goes both ways as the Abyssal Archons of Dark Aspect tend to have no use for the weakness they perceive in their lighter cousins.
While the Celestial and Abyssal Archons were often at odds with each other, opposition of the Gilghul was one thing upon which both always agreed. The Archons have been at the forefront of every major battle of the War for Talvair, tireless in their devotion to the conflict.
It is said that there were once no Archons on Talvair. Legends tell that Archons were heralds and harbingers of danger, and that when they first joined the Great War they provided hidden pathways and key insights that tipped the balance of many a battle. Although whatever paths they walked then are long lost, Archons still have a certain level of attunement to pathways and traveling - it is not unusual for an Archon to find a hidden door missed by the most diligent thief, or a trail missed by the most observant scout. Because of the many stories that portray Archons as harbingers of danger, in some regions the superstitious see the arrival of a strange Archon as a sign of dangers to come. These folk have been known to beg the traveling Archon for details of the coming danger or advice on how to avoid it. Most Archons who travel such areas regularly have devised a number of harmless, simple rituals that they can "share" with the superstitious to set their minds at ease, as it is far easier to tell a comforting lie than to undo centuries of folk belief.
