Choral

Chorals, or choir angels, are the archetypical harp-wielding cherubs sitting atop a cloud. While their ferocity in battle increases with their numbers, granting them access to higher-level spells, actually ending up fighting six angels probably means your campaign went sideways at some point.

The Quantum Quintuplets are a wildly successful choir who have achieved worldwide renown. Except for their conductor, Master Mazzio, the members of the choir all perform under masks, and their identities are a closely guarded secret - leading to wild speculations about them, from those claiming that they sold their souls to Mephistopheles in exchange for perfect talent, to those that say they are instead all children of one of the Primordial Beings Of The First World. The truth, instead, is that they are all chorals, bound to service in a dark ritual by Master Mazzio, an infernalist who has no real agenda - instead, only enjoying in the irony of using the purest beings in existence for purely selfish means.
What Mazzio doesn't know, is that the angels are secretly looking for help - reaching out to a bard known to fraternize with a group of adventurers widely known for their distaste for slavery.

Silenius is a weird case among choir angels - while most angels sing serious and ceremonial tunes, they still impart a dose of optimism into them. Unlike them, this gloomy choral sings somber melodies, almost dirges. An overly zealous Solar has accused him of treachery, mistaking such breaking of tradition for treachery. While solars wisdom is almost infinite, it is not infallible - and the poor little depressed lad is looking for someone to petition the heavens in his name.

Boldegard is a choral angel who is never content with his songs. He often roams to the mortal realms, seeking out musicians and performers, trying to find new, different approaches to music. Those who manage to impress him are given one feather from his wing - and rubbing it will summon him to remove a curse, disease, or fear from the petitioner.


Sorry for the late entry today, my home game took a fair bit longer than i expected. No regrets, really.
