Avengers of Aevo
The avengers in the service of Aevo are holy slayers, dedicated to the often-secret fight against those forces who stand arrayed against the Church. They are particularly prevalent in the Almanni state religion, where they are the secret enforcers of the Lord Theocrat of Almanni.
Clerics of Aevo
Clerics of Aevo are the well-revered living saints of the Church of Aevo, and they inevitably rise to positions of prominence and respected leadership in the faith of the One King. Sword-wielding holy men who bring the word of civilization and order to the world, backing up the authority of nations in their dealings with men.
Invokers of Aevo
Called "Aevo's Gryphons" by the Church, invokers have dreams of flying and visions involving gryphons quite often. Driven by their dreams, those who are imbued with the power of Aevo often begin with pilgrimages to high mountain peaks, often encountering gryphons who regard them warily but peacefully. Those who return from such journeys are marked by the power of Aevo, and use it to carry for the will of the First of the First.
Paladins of Aevo
Practically the archetypal knights, Aevonian wear helmets that feature stylized crowns worked into the brow of the helm, to denote their status as the lords of battle. Paladins of Aevo are the most common knights errant, traveling the lands to see good wrought and uphold the strength of good common folk and nobles alike by slaying dangers at the edges of civilization.
Runepriests of Aevo
The splitting of the Elemental Chaos from the Astral Sea caused great powers to be made manifest in the world. Though greater than mere writing, these Mysteries are made manifest by sigils of tremendous power. The so-called Empyrean Sigils are the bulwark of the Empyrean runepriests, who pursue understanding of these ancient powers with Aevo's blessing.
Also called the Lord of the Skies, the One King, First of the First and the First of All Lords.
- Portfolio: Skies and Kingship
- Depiction: Aevo is envisioned as a great kingly figure, a tall man seated on a throne, with close-cut but full beard and hair and a powerful body adorned by robes of the highest quality. His head is surmounted by a halo of spinning stars that is the crown of his kingship, and he bears a great sword across his lap. The four winds are his servants and heralds, and serve him depicted as kingly gryphons.
- Symbols: Aevo's holy symbol is an Empyrean Star crafted of gold, with a crown in its center. The other symbols of his faith are depictions of winds and gryphons (as well as hawks and lions), diamonds and lapis lazuli, as well regal swords. Because Aevo formed the first order in the universe, notions of civilization have their origins in him (although his daughter Khoro is rightly the goddess of civilization), so the heraldry of nations are also considered symbols of Aevo. Aevo's holy power in his champions shows forth as a hot wind and a brilliant white radiance.
- Origins: Of the Greater Empyrean Gods, Aevo was the first made by the whim of the Primordials, and so powerful was the effects of Aevo's creation that the multiverse first split into Elemental Chaos and Astral Sea. Aevo led his breathren in the Dawn War. Since that time, Aevo has led the Empyrean Court, and it was by his command that the Talion Gods were wrought.
The Aevonian Church of Angelic Revelation
The Church of Angelic Revelation is a rapidly-growing sect of the Aevonian faith founded two centuries ago by the temples to Aevo in and around the city-state of Liminal. The tenets and practices of this faith are highly influenced by the words of the angelic figures in service to Aevo directly. These archons form the upper echelons of this sect's faith, and they are well-known to favor the devas who make up a high population of the district of Empyros and the Empyrean Court.
The Angelic Revelants (as the adherents to the sect are called) are often considered heretics by many of the other sects of Aevonian worship, who believe that the authority of the angelic host of Aevo extends only to direct service to the god, and not to leading the mortal faith of the Lord of the Skies.

- The Seraldanai: Knightly Order. The foremost order of knights and paladins among the Angelic Revelants, the Seraldanai are mostly humans and deva. They take vows of poverty and chastity, dedicating the whole of their lives to the service of the Church as a whole, acting as bodyguards to its important non-angelic members and defenders of its temples and holy places.
