When people are vehemently
dedicated to the faith of the Highfather, and magically endowed
with abilities from the moment of their birth, but choose the path of a
warrior, not a priest or a magician, they become Angels.
This
hidden strength helps them to move quickly on their path, and they will
soon receive the rank of knight. And then, win the honor of becoming an
Imperial Knight. But by that time, they are usually no longer
occupied by terrestrial life, so that very soon they leave this world
and rise to the throne of God.
However, in turbulent times,
when the Empire needs every sword that is available, it happens
sometimes that some of the angels time on the ground is delayed in
order to help defend the right.
To support (and keep) them in
the imperial service, a special chapel needs to be built in the
capital, where a continuous prayer takes place as long as at least one
of the angels is battling in Nevendaar for the Empire.
For
those that were once knights in the smithy, in the territory of the
chapel, the monk-smiths are manufacturing helmets and armour from the
celestial (meteorite) iron that has received a special blessing.
Messengers
of God are not required to carry any other earthly weapons, such as
swords, spears, etc. All that remains for them in the past, is their
human life.
Henceforth, they were granted new and terrible
weapons, such as the divine wrath of lightning. And there is no enemy
who could resist this power.
Comrades who had to fight
shoulder to shoulder with the angels, tell that there is not a more
beautiful or terrible spectacle than the dazzling white wings hovering
over a battlefield. The opponents however, are usually unable to detect
a thing.
