Homebrew Erinyes Species Details

While almost all devils are twisted, horrific monstrosities, Erinyes appear to be beautiful men and women.  They tend to be of an average height of 6ft with well-toned bodies.  Almost angelic in a sense, the dark coloration of their wings and their fierce red eyes bely their true nature; that of a fallen angelic lineage serving the Lords of Hell.  The youngest Erinyes have wings of blood red that gradually darken to black as they age . Once an Erinyes ages beyond a certain point, their wings begin to gradually shed feathers until only bone remains.  These Erinyes are by far the oldest, most dangerous, and most sadistic of their kind.

Variants

  • White-winged- These Erinyes do not inherit the tarnished wings of their parents.  Their wings retain the milky hue of angels making them natural deceivers.  From a young age these Erinyes are pressured into using their appearance to take advantage of those foolish enough to trust them.  These individuals are arguably the most dangerous of all Erinyes as their skills of manipulation and subterfuge become incredibly potent over the aeons.
  • Redeemed- Every now and then an Erinys will reject their parentage and seek to redeem themselves in the eyes of good.  These individuals steal away from the deep reaches of Baator and seek forgiveness.  The denizens of the upper planes are not fools however and it may take thousands of years to gain their trust.  Redeemed are most often encountered on the neutral or material planes where they prove their worth through selfless acts.
  • Wings of Hades- The most powerful and dangerous of all Erinyes.  Wings of Hades are ancient creatures having survived and grown through thousands of years in the lower planes.  These beings surpass the caste system of the Nine Hells to exclusively hunt the denizens of the upper planes.  Wings of Hades have all but lost the beauty of their brethren.  Their feathers have fallen from their wings, their skin has hardened into a wrinkled carapace, and hair has grown long and bedraggled.  Their hair now attempts to grab and drain the life out of anything that gets too close.  Those who have made allegiances within the upper planes must be wary; the Wings of Hades are one of their greatest threats.
