White winged beings generally regarded as the embodiment of good. Angels look like humans with slender graceful figures and are best known for their wings. They give off a powerful holy aura that can bring mortals to their knees. Angels are best associated with the goddess Estridae and serve to fulfill her agenda; though they were created by the goddess Pasquirn. They hail from Myssora, the realm of the gods.

Mythology regarding Angels places them with varied degrees of power. They are said to be able to traverse the planes at will, a statement backed up by the Church of Glory in Naltronia. Many of the priests and priestesses of the order claim to be in contact with an Angel at some point but their legitimacy is rarely tested. The Council holds that Angels are unable to breach the plains by magic means and must travel via gateways opened by the gods.

Angel feathers are powerful magical components and are extremely rare. A feather can imbue and object without magical incantations and yield powerful magical tools. During the early days of Saratta feathers were often a gift given to those who were loyal to Estridae. Commonly they were attached to ink quills creating a magical Muse's Pen - an ink quill capable of copying text by reading thoughts. The pens were said to be capable of making flawless records of what the bearer could see or dream making them extremely valuable possessions. Only a handful exist in the Lunidor period.
