Physical Description

Members of the dea race appear entirely human other than one pair, or more, of angel-like wings.

They can fly using the mere power from their celestial soul.

History

The dea and their realm were created by the Supreme Deity. The Supreme Deity is a greater god who created the dea. The dea have been clashing with the demons and the devils since their creation.

Society

Dea live on the celestial outer plane named Keltea. It is essentially composed of Sky Palaces built on floating islands, themselves suspended in the clouds. One palace is a temple made of light named The Light of Stigma which can connect the Dea to other planes. Bet this temple is accessible by the army of the Dea. The army has four generals who are called The Four Arches. The four Arches are the four most powerful deas and with the power of all four of them can maybe even kill a greater god. Many dea join the army to destroy the fiends. They usually think that all fiends and people with fiendish blood are evil and need to be stopped. But some dea try to help good people with fiendish blood, but if they do help them they are banished from Keltea and would have to fight through The Four Arches. The Dea like all other races except fiends. The Supreme Deity is like a controlling tyrant who is narcissistic and cruel. She is said not to care about anyone but herself and uses other races and dea as pawns to completely exterminate fiends.
