Helions are the servants of Helios.
Overview[]
The servants of Helios aren’t often seen in the skies of the Shadow Realm. Those not familiar with Helions often mistake them for fire-spirits, though unusually powerful ones. It could be that that mistake isn’t as far from the truth as it seems. Great Helios’ brood might be spirits of fire, but ones born in the nuclear inferno of the sun, rather than in the lesser fires of the Earth.
Whatever, their origins, the spirits of Helios are rarely friendly to the Uratha. It’s said that the incandescent Celestine of the sun has never forgiven them for the murder of his sister’s lover, and that is why his spirits regard werewolves with disdain. Father Wolf is rumored to have left some of his greatest Gifts in the care of Helios, and they’ll remain forever outside the grip of the werewolves unless the Uratha can redeem themselves in his unforgiving eyes.
Like the Lunes, it’s almost impossible to understand Helions well enough to identify their descants. A few of Helios’ choirs are known, however.
Choirs[]
- Warmlings (spirits of heat and nurturing)
- Firelings (very similar to fire spirits),
- Searings (aggressive shafts of sunlight, often found in conflict with conceptual spirits of darkness and night),
- Illuminators (spirits that appear to clarify vision and dispel darkness from areas; very hostile to banes)
