Aasimar Harbingers
Although all aasimar are often viewed with a general sense of awe or fear, none are more misunderstood or even reviled as the aasimar harbinger. Although aasimar harbingers can be associated with deities of any domain, many typically acquire their power from deities of domains that are often regarded with fear and superstition by mortals, such as the domains of death or night.
Harbinger's Purpose
Aasimar harbingers typically serve as heralds on behalf of their divine patrons, often foretelling divine omens or warnings. Others simply serve as emissaries of the divine that live among mortals to learn more of their ways, while others may be seeking out enemies of their god. However, regardless of their intent, these aasimar are often feared and at times are driven out by the mortals they were sent to protect. Because of this, many aasimar harbingers are often prone to corruption due to the vilification towards them despite their true intentions.
