The Octet

The Octet was a group of eight Angels who appeared to the Ironlanders and began the First Era of human civilization. For ten years, the Octet instructed leaders of the Ironlanders, assisted in the construction of Eightspire, and taught them how to speak and write Angelic, all before "ascending back to heaven".

Appearance
Accounts of the Church depict the Octet to be dressed completely grey. None of the angles revealed their names. Half of the Octet was male the other female. They reportedly had skin of a very light to dark brown. Three of the Octet had black hair, a trait completely foreign to the humans of Khos.

Teachings
In addition to the immediate assistance given to the Ironlanders, the Octet left behind a large tome of guiding principles known as The Doctrine. The Octet stressed that their Doctorine holds important lessons for a civilization, but ultimately Khosians must find their own path. To ensure that their teachings were well established in the Ironlander culture, the Doctrine suggests a political system that would spread these ideas to all humans. This establishment became known as the Angelic Church. Although the Doctrine was meant to be a guiding lifestyle, the Ironlanders assumed that no other way of life was acceptable, attempting to ban the speaking of Seic and replace the old human way of life.
