Aasimar
Aasimar bear within their souls the light of the heavens. They are descended from humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities. Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, their births hailed as blessed events. They are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage.
An aasimar, except for one who has turned to evil, has a link to an angelic being. That being – usually a deva – provides guidance to the aasimar, though this connection functions only in dreams. As such, the guidance is not a direct command or a simple spoken word. Instead, the aasimar receives visions, prophecies, and feelings.
Aasimar in Midrial
The Aasimar race is received differently depending on where you are in the world. In many cases, Aasimar spend their lives seeking out the reason for their existence. For others, it is something to be ashamed of. In Oldvale or Atolvance, Aasimar are both feared and worshipped. In Merriby or Costrana, people are more often unaware they even exist and mistake them or angels or devils.Basic Information
