Race Information

"In the eternal dance of light and shadow, I am a guardian of the balance, a beacon in the darkness. My wings carry the whispers of the righteous and the cries of the innocent. With every beat, I bring hope; with every breath, I speak justice. I am a Movanic Deva, a celestial envoy, and my purpose is as unwavering as the stars. In me, the light of goodness finds its sword and shield, and in its service, I find my eternal path."

Regions

Movanic Devas can be found across Faerûn, though they are more likely to appear in regions where their presence is most needed. This could be near ancient holy sites, in lands besieged by darkness or corruption, or at the heart of significant conflicts between good and evil. They may also be found in places with strong connections to the celestial realms, such as near portals to the Upper Planes or in areas where the barrier between the planes is thin. A Movanic Deva in the Savage Frontier, a region known for its rugged wilderness and perilous adventures, might be there for several reasons that align with their celestial nature and divine missions:
