Legends say many centuries ago some celestial messengers fell in love with humans. For this, they were made mortal and forced to dwell on Earth. They married, raised families, and ultimately died. Celestial descendants are their heritage. Celestial descendants are tall, attractive humans whose distinctive feature is a pair of wings on their back. There are both male and female celestial descendants and they live in family groups like humans and halflings. Celestial descendants are not magical creatures and can be slain. They live about two hundred years.

Celestial descendants live apart from other races, often in high mountain aeries. They take their divine bloodline seriously, and study as Clerics. They often guard ancient holy sites against intrusion. They may help adventuring parties if they consider their intentions honorable. They can provide healing magic, and information on divine sites and lore. They will take up arms against threats to innocent life or to prevent the desecration of holy places.

Celestial descendants use their wings to hover and weave during combat. They do not wear armor as the added weight affects their flight. Additionally, they cast spells as a 4th-level Cleric. A suggested spells list for any given day includes: cure light wounds, detect evil, and bless.
