Homebrew Deva Species Details
A deva was a kind of angel, or aasimon.There were three orders of devas: astral devas, monadic devas, and movanic devas,though devas of no particular order were known after the Second Sundering of 1487 DR.
Devas appeared as human-like men and women[other humanoid races]of extraordinary beauty or handsomeness with two magnificent feathered wings emerging from their shoulders.Monadic and movanic devas stood around 6–6.5 feet (1.8–1.98 meters) tall, while astral devas were around 7–7.5 feet (2.1–2.3 meters) tall. Their coloration varied: astral devas were golden-hued with fair hair and amber eyes; monadic devas were dark-skinned with black hair and green eyes; and movanic devas were milky-white-skinned with silvery hair and eyes.In the late 15th century DR, devas were known for their silvery skin and their lustrous eyes and hair.
