Synthesized Angels. The collective emblazonment, given to the 12 powerful higher spirits that are extant in the Third Realm, and are powerful beings of high renown blessed by the Primordials themselves of unique abilities to make the entire realm a better place for its denizens. Yes, there are 12:

I. Calypso (Harvest) - blessed with the power to aggrandize agriculture.

II. Hitchcock (Glamour) - blessed with her power to turn rubbles to jewels but with the correct materials.

III. Vale (Valor) - blessed with impeccable knowledge of the seas and its depths.

IV. Beowulf (Order) - blessed to maintain the beasts of the land.

V. D' Artagnan (Fortitude) - blessed with the power to inspire.

VI. Daedalus (Amends) - blessed with the talent to forge weaponry and equipment.

VII. Longinus (Temperament) - blessed with the power to create material things, (e.g. Technology)

VIII. Sartre (Wisdom) - blessed with high strategic intellect.

IX. D' Nostradamus (Insight) - blessed with unrivaled hindsight and precognition.

X. Tsukuyomi (Remark) - blessed with the answers to each of the questions of the universe.

XI. Kurenai (Heal) - blessed with the power to reinvigorate physical wounds.

XII. Bismark (Benediction) - blessed with the power to turn commoners to heroes.

But the 12 of them, they were the kind of spirits that are exploited from time to time. Not your stereotypical 'Angels'.

Their endowed unique abilities which had been the cause for their rise was also the primal cause for their pitiable downfall. Not yonder, without or with so limited power for self-aegis, they were suddenly considered as a Kingdom's personal belonging, working 24/7 for a certain Kingdom's gain, and it was then that their divine task failed.

They were considered as material treasures that can be sought and it was not far when the third realm's 27 Kingdoms resorted to violence and malicious acts of war all of the name of obtaining one for themselves for the achievement of their exploits and visions.
