Description
Not many aasimar were created by the gods but their race was perceived as the most untouched by the silver fragments. Aasimar took the ideals of the golden fragments and built their societies around them, living very good natured lives and rarely resorting to crimes. The ones with most prominent divine sparks in them, are said to grow angelic wings, like the ones the gods one displayed in during their time on earth. Aasimar lives closely with Tieflings as they felt it was their responsibility to balance the trickery tieflings brought to the world. Aasimar were always viewed as souls that been touched by the gods, placing them on Arda to guide others into righteous paths. Some aasimar have strayed from that path, resulting in the "fallen" type. Such aasimar are often exiled from their societies, as they embody exactly what their creators made them to prevent. Aasimar feature eyes that are blank but glowing with colors of white, golden, yellow but never silver.
Origins
Maldos was the sole creator of the Aasimar race, not allowing others to touch his creation. It was his most prized race and considered them his envoys on Arda. Vermillion and Krevor later tried to dilute his creations with their influence but had little effect. The fallen aasimar are said to be those whose minds were influenced by Krevor.

Due to their mono-fragment creator, Aasimar have a strong natural predisposition towards Good and often lawful. Their bodies are made to withstand divine magic making them resistant to radiant and necrotic.
