| Esoterica | All angels gain power from the Divine they serve. They are made of heavenly light, and therefore, all of their powers are filtered through that energy. Daevas are imbued with hegnh and the Divine might of Equality. Other powers vary and are limited in their uses, but unholy powers are impossible. |
| Special Powers | Each kind of angel has special powers based on their function in service to their Divine. All angels have a holy aura. For daevas, that aura is an equalizing force. All angels also communicate directly to the souls of the faithful or those who have not been wholly corrupted. |
| Scribe | Scribe daevas have powers that aide them in the administration of their domains. They have a pen made from one of their feathers [or equivalent], called a stylus. A daeva's stylus has the power to inscribe the power of equality and freedom into anything. They have an oculus power that allows them to see the bonds that hold anyone. They also have an aspectu , which is their power to see and understand the differences and similarities between two things with a glance. All scribes understand any non-evil language and have the power to understand their Divine's judgment of a mortal and inscribe it upon the scrolls of Heaven. |
| Herald | Herald daevas' powers aide them in spreading the Word of Equality. They bear a trumpet called a lituus, which heartens the defenders of the meek and causes pain in those that exploit them. Their cross, or crucis, allows them to match the strengths of any near them. And their scrolls bear the Word, which inspires devotion to equality and liberation in those that hear or read them. Herald daevas have a capio, or required task, which requires them to spread equality in the world. As they do this, they become stronger. Their oculus allows them to see on a scale of exploitation to liberation, and their infundere allows them to infuse specfiic protections into those in need. Heralds can appear anywhere, though if they appear in unholy areas, it can hurt them. They speak all non-evil tongues. No one who hears their words, or voce, will ever forget them. |
| Warrior | Warrior daevas have powers that aide them in fighting evil. They bear a sword called a gladius and a shield called a scutum (though their appearances to not necessarily match those terms). Their gladius is equal to any blade it clashes with, and their scutum will let no harm come to the meek. Their oculus allows them to see the bonds that affect people. They have a presence called a coram, which heartens the oppressed. Warriors gain power through service. For every 1,000 beings of pure evil they destroy, they gain a new power, capping at twelve:
The more evil a foe is, the more attacks a warrior has per round, capping at twelve. |
| Guardian | Guardian daevas protect innocents and followers of Equality. Those they protect cannot see them without esoteric intervention. If their ward's soul is in incredible danger, they can intervene at the cost of their existence. Guardian daevas have a power called teneo, which allows them to absorb pain and trauma to protect their ward. Their oculus allows them to see the bonds holding anyone, and their augere power allows them to increase the compassion in their ward, if need be. Once in the life of their ward, they may physically intervene to protect them, surrounding them with a holy barrier that protects any they choose. |
| Lord | Lord daevas are the most powerful of all angels. Their very presence exudes power. This is called coram. For lord daevas, their presence is one of liberating power, allowing them to shatter bonds and free people. Every lord angel gains power both from serving their Divine and from being served by lesser angels. The gain a new power every Age they exist in service, capping at twelve:

| Service | Daevas serve Equality. Scribe daevas administer the work of the Sanctum. They keep track of the lives of all the oppressed and followers of Equality. They do all of the minor tasks that make the realm of Equality and Liberation work. Herald daevas spread equality in the world. They leave the Sanctum and spread the Word, seeking out those mortals who will do great works of liberation in the world and empowering them. They also carry messages for Equality between Her and other Divines. Warrior daevas are the army of Equality and Liberation. They oppose evil in all its forms and serve as Equality's defense against the powers of the Infernal. They are a fair and just army led by their Leader Davamayar. Guardian daevas protect the oppressed and followers of Equality. They exist as protectors. Holier beings sometimes have more than one guardian. They cannot leave their service to their ward, or they fall. Lord daevas run the Sanctum and see to it that all other daevas are doing as they must. |
