Sun path finder12/24/2023 Solars who spend a long time in the Material Plane, especially those in the guise of mortals, are sometimes the source of half-celestial or Aasimar bloodlines in mortal families, due either to romantic dalliances or simply the mortals' proximity to celestial energy. These strange solars are paragons of their kind and have little direct interaction with mortals, focusing on the protection or Destruction of abstract concepts such as gravity, dark matter, entropy, and primordial evil. The oldest solars predate mortality and are among the gods' first creations. A few rare and powerful good souls ascend directly to the Status of solar. ![]() Unlike other angels, most solars are created from an amalgam of good souls and raw divine energy to directly serve the gods, but an increasing number of these powerful angels have been “promoted” to their existence as solars from lesser creatures like planetars or devas. In some polytheistic faiths, mortals worship one or more solars as aspects or near-equal servants of the true deities-never without the deity's approval-or consider notable solars to be offspring, consorts, lovers, or spouses of true deities (which they may be, depending on the deity). Though they are not gods, the solars' power approaches that of demigods, and they often have an advisory role for younger or weaker deities. Likewise, in worlds oppressed by evil, solars are the secret priests who bring hope to the downtrodden, or in some cases allow themselves to be martyred so that their holy essence can explode outward to land and grow in the hearts of great heroes-to-be. In worlds where the gods cannot take physical form, they send solars to be their prophets and gurus (often pretending to be mortals), laying the foundation for cults that grow to become great religions. On yet another, a solar with a flaming sword stands watch over the original mortal paradise so that no Creature may enter. On another, seven solars stand watch over seven mystical chains keeping evil gods bound within a prison demiplane. On one world, a group of solars patrols the energy conduits of the sun, alert for any attempts by evil races such as drow to snuff out the light and bring eternal Darkness. Solars accept roles as guardians, usually of fundamental supernatural concepts, or objects or creatures of great importance. A few very old solars have succeeded at this task and bear slayer-names of dread creatures that are now extinct by the solar's hand. Some take on the mantle of monster-slayers and hunt powerful fiends and Undead such as devourers, night hags, night Shades, and pit fiends, even making forays into the evil planes and the Negative Energy Plane to destroy these creatures at their source before they can bring harm to mortals. They are the greatest trackers among the celestials, the most masterful of which are said to be able to track the days-old wake of a Pit Fiend flying through the Astral Plane. Most have silvery or golden skin.īlessed with an array of magical powers and the Spellcasting abilities of the most powerful clerics, solars are powerful opponents capable of single-handedly slaying mighty evils. A solar stands about 9 feet tall and weighs about 500 pounds, with a strong, commanding voice that is impossible to ignore. ![]() A typical solar looks roughly human, though some physically resemble other Humanoid races and a rare few have even more unusual forms. Solars are the greatest type of angel, usually serving at the right hand of a deity or championing a cause that benefits an entire world or plane. This towering Humanoid Creature has shining topaz eyes, metallic skin, and three pairs of white wings.
