The House of Asharu, also known by their modern sobriquet Scourges, are former guardian angels who were banished into the Abyss. Many of the Asharu turned because of frustration reflected onto them by their human charges. Most Scourges served as spies or scouts in the Rebellion because of their speed and gained great respect for it. Still carrying their honored reputation, the Scourges continue to watch over the world, even as they seem to work toward destroying it.
