Homebrew Death Angel Species Details

For years, we have been told that angels are creatures of purity, justice and goodness. Faithful creatures who would fight for those lesser than them and would fight alongside those who are worthy.

But nothing is mentioned about those who have fallen from grace. Those who decided that justice and power is not synonymous with peace and grace. 

Most commonly known as Death Angels, these angels have accepted the darkest aspects of magic and faith, using them to fuel their own desires and beliefs. 

They do not care for their divine counterparts, not interested in fighting wars with them (despite with what some scriptures state). They are more focused on their own goals. And their own survival. 

Without a higher divine power to guide them, Death Angels always fight for survival and fight for their beliefs.
