Thaera

Thaera is the angelic word for an abnormal bond or union of two seperate forces. It is commonly used to describe beings made from both spiritual and physical aspects.

Thaeran Beings
Thaerans include Nephilim, Keruvim, Nafilwn, and, to a lesser extent, Lwhra and Pfwra. The same is true of the Fae'mor'aens. Humans are not included in this as they were designed to be one unit of body, spirit, and soul. These beings are able to harness the power of the Artifacts, though with limited rates of success. they are also exempt from the unlimited strength of Sekaris.

Take note that although the word described abnormal unions, being Thaera does not make a being evil or unnatural.

Nephilim are created in the unholy intercourse of Fallen angels and human women. Thus they are half demon and half human.

Keruvim are the offspring of Grigori, Angelic spirits made into physical bodies. Thus they are half human and half angel.

Nafilwn were originally spirits in the Elder Host who were given bodies of flesh to rule Cannoraoul. Their offspring were slightly different in spirit, a little more adapted to a body, but were still about one-third elder angel and two-thirds physical body.

Lwhra result from intercourse between Nafilwn and a kind of Wnka called Anjelith. Thus they are about one-quarter spiritual and three-quarters physical body. This is a weak amount, and so their control over the Artifacts is limited, and full rituals are needed instead of just the Artifact.

Pfwra are half human and half Nafilwn. They are also about one-quarter spiritual. However, their ability to control the Artifacts is undocumented, though it can be assumed to be the same as Lwhra because their spiritual make-up is the same.

Unliving can harness the Artifacts to a degree similar to Lwhra, though because of their nature they are not considered Thaera.

Respaeres and Faemor'aen are likewise not considered Thaera, but it is assumed that they can harness the Artifacts.

Titansons and Half-Bloods are assumed to be Thaera due to their nature, but this is unknown as the Governors and Titans are different from angels and thus their halfbreeds may be different also.
