Namaru: The Devils
Once belonging to the House of the Dawn and serving as God’s heralds to
the rest of the heavenly host, the Devils were the standard bearers of the Creator’s
will and the champions of humanity. Now they use their charisma and powers of
persuasion to twist mortal and immortal minds alike to serve their own agendas.
Asharu: The Scourges
These former angels of the firmament were given the task of directing the winds
and carrying the life-giving breath of God to those whom the Creator deemed
worthy. Now the Scourges are the bearers of plague and pestilence, their passage
swift and unseen but their punishment cruel and lingering. Depending on their
whim, they can heal or poison with a touch.
Annunaki: The Malefactors
The Malefactors are the artisans among the fallen, once given charge of the
earth and all that lies within it. These demons are cunning, patient and thoughtful,
using their powers of creation to turn the most mundane items into wondrous
gifts that ultimately corrupt the recipient.
Neberu: The Fiends
The Fiends directed the course of the sun, moon and stars. They were the bearers
of the complex patterns that governed the tides, seasons and portents of Heaven.
Where they were once oracles dispensing wisdom and warnings, they are now the
masters of nightmares and curses.
Lammasu: The Defilers
The Defilers are seducers, ever-changing, always alluring. They once held dominion
over the oceans, and can alter their appearance like quicksilver, taking the
form of a victim’s greatest desire. They can manipulate not only their
bodies, but others’ as well, granting glorious beauty in place of ugliness,
but always at a price.
Rabisu: The Devourers
Devourers are the warriors among the fallen, given charge of the beasts of the
wilderness and infused with the nature of the predator. They are fierce and
impulsive by course, favoring action over long-winded discussion. They incite,
ravage, annihilate and move on.
Halaku: The Slayers
After God created man and woman he returned to Heaven, his labors complete –
leaving death and decay to follow in his wake. The Slayers were the angels of
mortality, tending to those who had passed. Now they’re masters of spirit
who can raise ghosts, reap souls from living bodies or trap them in vessels
of their infernal choosing.
