Description Houris are men and women of comely appearance. They have bright white eyes with deep black pupils, and they are hairless save for their heads. There are two kinds of houris: those who serve on Shem and those who serve in paradise. Those on Shem are of normal proportion, but those in paradise stand 90' tall. Those on Shem have faces bright as the full moons, while those in paradise have faces like all the shining stars in the night skies. The marrow of houris in paradise can be seen within their legs.
Procreation Houris reproduce only with each other, and the process is instantaneous.
Esoterica Houris can use dumaqu easily. Other holy powers are not unheard of; faith is nearly universal. Other esoterica is rare, and infernal powers are impossible.
Special Powers Houris have golden combs that keep them from "fading," or growing old. They have censers full of aloe-wood that comfort those who breath the smoke. They always appear of equal age to those they serve, and their beauty is supernatural. They do not get pregnant or have bodily functions, but simply exist in perfect physical form.

Houris can compensate the good deeds of those they serve, usually by granting powers or wishes.
Weaknesses Hatred and blasphemy can destroy them.
Culture Houris exist to serve the faithful, especially followers of the Beloved Goddess.
