Aasimar (new class)

 When The War in Heaven ended it was not just the elven gods that were claimed to be dead but also most of their celestial servants as well. Angels that fell in heavenly battles dispersed their fractions of divinity with the tiniest drops falling on the souls of mortals yet to be born, those angel touched souls are the assimar. 

 It is rare that there are more than a hundred living aasimar in the world at any time. Of all the civilizations in the world, it is the people of Aakaasheey that revere the aasimar the most, seeing them as one step down from the celestials that are the basis of religious worship in Aakaasheey.
