Born from Holy Fire these Dawn Wardens are the chosen of Celestial forces to eradicate the darkness of Demons and Devils alike. These "Angels" are often found in seemingly innocuous places such as villages or small homesteads though they are known to frequent larger cities where faith in the gods has fallen in favor of the populous. Wherever they are found however it is always an ill omen to See one, it is rumored they are only seen by those marked for destruction whether by action or association. Even Capital cities have fallen to their rampages at times. Wherever faith in the gods has fallen to heresy or Fiendish cults arise they call down Celestial fire to cleanse all in their path. Not to be crossed they will stop at nothing to destroy any who make pacts with denizens of the lower planes only showing mercy to those cursed by such forces even if that mercy comes at the end of a blade.
