| Astral devas serve a dual purpose in the Upper Planes. First, they are the heavenly warriors that often take the fight to evil. They often crusade on the Lower Planes, fighting demons, devils, and yugoloths in an effort to end their wickedness. However, they also journey the Astral Plane, seeking out good planar travelers that have become lost and helping them find their way. |
