Useful Info

Daevas are militant servants of the Shining One, wielding weapons of holy wrath (occasionally blessed blades) and shields. They are slower than angels, but slightly more durable and able to smite their foes, and they have better odds of being avenged by TSO when you kill them. Daevas are very rare, appearing only in the Abyss, holy Ziggurat floors, holy Pan levels, and in the occasional Dungeon vault hidden behind transparent walls.
