Cassisian (Archive Angel)

Aight, blog update time. I've been away for several days, and I am sorry for that. A lot of life happened in those few days, but now that everything is fine, i'll be getting back to beastfinder. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

I  really, really love abilities that rely on some GM fiat, like the Cassisian's repository of lore. Your angel witnessed the creation of the world and knows everything about every deity, but can't see the difference between dwarves and humans? Sure.

In the duchy of Santa Clara, the aristocracy has always had good relations with the heavens. Several cassisians are present within castle walls at all times, prime among them an old an experienced being called Firstlight. Firstlight is not above investing itself within day-to-day politics of the duchy, though it mostly concerns itself with matters of piety and morality.
When the old Duke dies, his twin sons call a moot, to decide who will ascend to the throne. Unfortunately, instead of landing on one of their heads, as it had for every duke ten generations prior, the angel decides to land on a lone ranger, expelled from the city for his treacherous claim he was the duke's illegitimate son...


Before ascending to godhood, claiming the title of God Of Hard Work, Mistress Bunuela was a wizard specializing in good-aligned planes. In one of her many travels, she famously formed a bond with an archive angel named Flutterswap. Now that she is gone from the mortal realm, a race to find the angel has begun, as many speculate it's perfect memory holds his mistress's plan to achieve godhood, and could indeed be used to recreate her feat.

Oswint Orkbane was a legendary knight, known for never appearing in public without his suit of armor and winged helmet on. After he embarrasses himself during a feast, an investigation reveals that ser Oswint is gone, and that what has been walking around in his stead is a suit of animated armor, and a cassisian angel mounted on top of it. Weirdly enough, even when questioned within magical zones of truth, the angel seems to fully believe himself to be the legendary knight.
