Bekael
Bekaels are celestial beings with a powerful drive for justice. While many view celestials as calm and deliberative, the Bekael challenges this view as a vengeful, emotional creature. Bekaels are drawn to groups who have experienced profound tragedy under the fist of tyranny. With horns like an impala’s and two pairs of eagle wings, the Bekael’s frightening visage is completed by a porcelainwhite mask that obscures their face. The sorrowful mask portrays the wailing that accompanies utter loss. In combat, the Bekael wields its own molten tears like whips of razor.
