Agathion
An agathion is a member of a group of benevolent outsiders who have delayed transcendence in order to defend the realm of Nirvana and meditate on its deeper mysteries.
Each group of agathions follows the teachings of a transcended elder master, a powerful agathion who has been granted far greater power by the plane itself, and who is believed to have been one of the first mortal souls to have reached this plane. This arrangement is not any sort of strict hierarchy, as these creatures do not try to enforce their will on others. As well as contemplating the nature of Nirvana, each of the agathion races have their own specific roles from guardians to messengers to bards. Agathions also send representatives to Pharasma's court to help mortal souls reach a more enlightened state.
Ecology
Agathions, the most prominent natives of Nirvana, are compassionate beast-aspected races who guard the plane while also embodying its values.- Avorals guard the monastic aeries of the Dragonmane Mountains, including the monasteries of Xia Hua, Borolen, and Etamu. They also represent and fight for the plane's deities. Korada leads the plane's avorals.
- Vulpinals are messengers who serve as storytellers and sages, and are led by Lady Taramyth.
- Lion-headed leonals, responsible for guarding the plane's gates and portals, are led by Kelumarion.
- Bishops are unsettling fishlike agathions who work as liaisons between celestial leaders on land and sea alike.
- Cervinals, who resemble elk-like taurians, represent agathions in matters that span all good-aligned planes.
- Cetaceals, guardians of oceans across the planes, craft homes in the depths of the Sea of No Shadows among its coral reefs.
- Draconals have extravagant and diverse domains, particularly the Evergreen Palace and Lignitic Labyrinth, and are most responsible for their exceedingly timely insight and their actions in accordance with the gods' wishes.
- Taking the forms of housecats, Silvanshee travel mortal planes seeking wondrous curiosities.
