| Description | Yazatas appear to be crowned warriors, bearing maces. Their feet never touch the ground. |
| Procreation | As permitted by their leaders, only with each other. |
| 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. Yazatas are imbued with calm resonance, hegnh, and the Divine might of Serenity. 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 yazatas that aura is serenity emanating from their crowns. All angels also communicate directly to the souls of the faithful or those who have not been wholly corrupted. Their maces and crowns are made from equinium. |
| Scribe | Scribe yazatas have powers that aide them in the administration of their domains. They have a pen made from equinium, called a stylus. A yazata's stylus has the power to inscribe accords, writing lasting treaties and infusing agreement into their words and actions. They have an oculus power that allows them to see danger. They also have an aspectu, which is their power to see and understand the roots of a conflict 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 yazata's powers aide them in spreading the Word of Serenity. They bear a trumpet called a lituus, which instills calm in the kind and gentle and puts to sleep the violent and dangerous. Their cross, or crucis, prevents assaults from anyone nearby. And their scrolls bear the Word, which inspire peace and friendship in those who hear or read them. Herald yazatas have a capio, or required task, which requires them to spread peace. As they do this, they become stronger. Their oculus allows them to see intentions, and their infundere allows them to infuse calm into the unstable individuals they can see. 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 yazatas have powers that aide them in fighting evil. They bear a mace called a clavam and a shield called a scutum (though their appearances to not necessarily match those terms). Their clavam only stuns those it strikes, causing no pain, and their scutum will allow no violence to pass beyond its edge. Their oculus allows them to see danger. They have a presence called a coram, which exudes peace. 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 yazatas protect innocents and followers of Serenity. 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 yazatas have a power called teneo, which allows them to absorb belligerence and anger to protect their ward. Their oculus allows them to see intentions, and their augere power allows them to increase the gentleness 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 exudes peace and calm. |
| Lord | Lord yazatas are the most powerful of all angels. Their very presence exudes power. This is called coram. For lord yazatas, their presence is one of pure serenity, allowing them to repel the violence and dangerous. 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 | yazatas serve Serenity. Scribe yazatas administer the work of the Sanctum. They keep track of the acts of violence and peace of all mortals and followers of Serenity. They do all of the minor tasks that make the realm of Peace, Calm, and Friendship work. Herald yazatas spread peace in the world. They leave the Sanctum and spread the Word, seeking out those mortals who will do great works of peace and accord in the world and empowering them. They also carry messages for Serenity between Her and other Divines. Warrior yazatas are the army of Protection and Peace. They oppose evil in all its forms and serve as Serenity's defense against the powers of the Infernal. They are a calm, disciplined army led by their Leader Azman. Guardian yazatas protect the meek and followers of Serenity. They exist as protectors. Holier beings sometimes have more than one guardian. They cannot leave their service to their ward, or they fall. Lord yazatas run the Sanctum and see to it that all other yazatas are doing as they must. Yazatas are revered, even amongst other angels. They spend most of their time in prayer, being unable to harm others. They love to perform mundane tasks for the Divine, being humble and kind. They never sleep. |
