Sramana

Sramanas, or renouncer angels, exist to help liberate the penitent and ease their suffering. Unusual for angels of such power, sramanas are drawn exclusively from compassionate and enlightened mortal souls who are often more perceptive to the pains of mortal existence.

These tireless celestials embark upon impossible tasks and unfathomable labors to free souls lost, abandoned, and imprisoned in the Lower Planes. This earns them great enmity from fiends and other callous entities, many of whom treat souls as simple playthings and currency and who ironically see the renouncer angels as thieves of souls they've "rightfully" cheated, stolen, or traffcked for their own purposes.
