Lore
Living in a strictly hierarchic society, these angels have been called that by humans for centuries. What they actually are is not quite known, but they are happy to accept the fame and adoration they recieve. Some of the highest ones regularly visit the human realm to share their "wonders", which mostly ends up being support in various human conflicts - where the side with the stronger angel usually wins. Within themselves, from childhood on, their potential is heavily judged. Both in magical powers, as well as in the size of their wings. Against popular belief, not all angelus can fly, as their wings may be to small, or their magic too weak. Hence, those with small wings and weak magic are of the lowest rank, and often treated less than kindly. Angelus create and wear magical weaponry that they share a unique bond with. This is a priviliege, and thus, most angels strive to reach the high heavens all their life. Once there, they are expected to mingle only with their high-ranking peers. But not all of them represent the light and these values.
Generally speaking, bigger wings symbolise greater power, and the most powerful angelus have more than one set of wings.
Angelic Smithing
Amongst the angelus are some of the most renowned smiths across realms. These are capable of forging traditional angelus armor, which is really rare and precious because only the best armorsmiths in eden can create it. The material used can only be mined in eden and is then imbued with magic. The armor can do slight form changes, so it can grow with the user (if they receive it as a gift when younger for example), and the looks may slightly shift every now and then depending on the wearer. Its slight changes, but its still special. This wear is also known to absorb and keep some of the angelus magic for later use.
