A divine agent of the Shining One, it is a towering winged figure with an aura of brilliant golden light.

"Between these twain the Daevas also chose not aright, for infatuation came upon them as they took counsel together, so that they chose the Worst Thought. Then they rushed together to Violence, that they might enfeeble the world of men."

-the Avesta, Ahunavaiti Gatha 30.6

Useful Info

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

Tips & Tricks

  • If you worship TSO, Zin, or Elyvilon, daevas may be indifferent towards you.
  • It's easy to avoid daevas while wandering the Abyss. Just turn around when you see their 5-tile halo effect hit the edge of your LOS.
