Aasimars are the descendants of humans and celestial bloodlines, and are rare on the world of Eberron. They live in the same communities as other races, and can have a wide array of looks, depending on their ancestor's race.[2][1]

History[edit | edit source]
An aasimar is a child of a human and a race of celestial bloodline. Their ancestors can be one of a multitude of races from one of many planes. Known celestial-blooded races that have produced aasimar include angels from Syrania, archons from Irian and Shavarath, eladrins from Fernia and Thelanis, and guardinals from Lamannia.[2] Aasimars have been found on both the continents of Khorvaire and Sarlona.[3]
Abilities[edit | edit source]
Aasimars possess some abilities due to their origin. They have darkvision; they can resist acid, cold, and electricity; and they can generate daylight at will. Occasionally, an aasimar may be born with feathery wings, not unlike an angel.[1]
Notable Names[edit | edit source]
- Prince Lorrister of the Heavenly Fleet in the Lhazaar Principalities is an aasimar.[2]
