Exalted

The Exalted are beings from higher planes, commonly the servants and messengers of deities, great celestial powers, or divine concepts, sent out to the Lower Realms to see their patrons will done. Most Exalted are created by such powers or born fr om the union of a mortal and a seraph, but a rare few are promising mortals that proved themselves and were appointed as such.

Their purity makes them less than ideal vessels for summoning magic and Exalted have strong initial resistance to most harmful effects, but their helpful, merciful, and selfless nature tends to border on naivety which makes them easily persuaded or tricked. Swords of a variety of shapes and sizes tend to be the tool of choice for dispensing divine justice. Most Exalted gravitate towards fighters or divine casters, and although they understand and accept that it takes all sorts of skills and talents to combat evil, they abhor the use of summoning magic or cruel methods.

It is whispered that if an Exalted were to ever go against the tenants or will of their divine patron, and not seek to atone for their transgressions, they would be stripped of their sanctity and cast down to spend the remainder of their days as one of the mortal races.
