Word archons are the record-keepers of Heaven, tasked with maintaining the eternal libraries of the holy mount. Blessed with power over language and speech, each word archon protects a noble concept such as charity, zeal, humility, or love. Word archons are supremely intelligent and are sought out as fonts of knowledge gathered over millennia.
Standing seven feet tall, a word archon resembles a beautiful bronze-skinned human clad in flowing robes and golden armor. A cloud of parchment scrolls billow behind it like wings, each marked with a different rune.
In addition to their role as record-keepers, word archons are frequently assigned to heavenly legions as marshals and healers, much like mortal bards. They are often found leading contingents of legion archons.
Word archons often associate with the church of Fawfin, cross-checking their records. The god of knowledge’s servants respect their abilities, but acknowledge that their allegiance to Heaven leaves them biased. They are also associated with Munkap, who tasks them with keeping track of the histories of good-aligned civilizations.
