History
Angels were a race of luminous beings who were formed shortly after the dawn of creation when the creator Anu defeated the monstrous Tahamet. From Tahamet, the Burning Hells were created giving rise to the race of Demons whilst the mortally wounded Anu similarly died with his body becoming the High Heavens from which the race of Angels were formed. They came to come under the rule of a group of Archangels that embodied different values with these sitting on the Angiris Council. Since that time, they came to be involved in the Eternal Conflict against the races of Demons and their leaders who were the Prime Evils.
The coming of the Great Conflict to the mortal realm saw Angels and Demons disguising themselves among humans. This resulted in the Sin War where they attempted to secretly lure mortals to their respective causes.
Under the Archangel Tyrael, a secretive order of mortal magi were gathered from wizards among the diverse and numerous mage clans of the East. These sorcerers formed the Horadrim where they were tasked with the goal of hunting down the three Prime Evils and put an end to their vicious rampage.
Eventually, Tyrael came before his fellow Angels where Imperius accused him of repeated interference in the mortal plane that was in defiance to their ancient laws. Ultimately, this led to Tyrael deciding to willingly abandon his position as an Angel and become mortal where he was banished to Sanctuary as a result.
Overview
In appearance, the Angels resembled humanoids in cowls but in their true existence were a divine essence composed of light and sound. Their kind were also regarded as the Seraphim who were not immune to the corruption of Demons. It was possible for an Angel to abandon their divinity and willingly become mortal though such an act was seen as sacrilege by their kind.
Leadership of their kind was held by a group of Archangels who sat on a body known as the Angiris Council. The ancient laws of the High Heavens prevented them from interfering in the mortal plane.
The home of the Angels was the realm of the High Heavens.
