General
Archangels are a holy people. Great winged beings, they rule their domain, the sky with an iron fist. Previously having kept to themselves, and unknown to mankind, they have only recently revealed themselves. This took place around 1072 AE, when they received knowledge that the Lich Lord had tried to open the Door of Komalie.

Factions
Within the Archangel society, there are four factions, with different characteristics unique to their group. The different factions are:

Order of the Eagle
A very dignified circle of the elite guards, the Order of the eagle was the first and foremost group of all the Archangels, before their own great guild war, upon which they split into the four current groups that exist today. Their prfosseions of choice are: Warrior, Paragon, and Elementalist.

The Falcon Council
The Falcon Council was the first of the three factions to split from the main group. Independent by nature, they prefer to stand out and be noticed by all. They prefer to take upon the classes of: Mesmer and Dervish.

The Hawk Sovereignty
The Hawk Sovereignty was originally part of The Falcon Council until they had a dispute over who would become the next clan leader, a Falcon or a Hawk. When the falcons would not yield to the hawks, the hawks just picked up and left, further dividing the Archangels' alliance. They prefer the professions of Ranger and Monk.

Owl Conclave
The owls never fought in the Archangels' guild wars. The only reason they split off from the main group was, once they hawks, who were their voice in the council, had left, they were left without say, and were soon discarded by the eagles. They prefer the professions: Assassin, Ritualist, and Necromancer.

Archangel Culture
The Archangels are a nomadic people. Traveling in huge caravans of flying ships, the four factions meet once a year for a official meeting to see just where they are in terms of their alliance.
