Two completely opposing reputations—one of divine mercy, the other of ruthless betrayal—had shaped the Angels into one of the most polarizing races in existence. But some scholars and philosophers had tried to make sense of this contradiction, to understand how such a twisted duality could exist within a single race.
And the conclusion they reached?
The Angels weren't hypocrites. They were just… too pure. Or rather, too extreme.
Why?
It's simple.
Take madness, for example. When people think of obsession, fanaticism, or incomprehensible behavior, the first image that comes to mind is always the mages of the Tower faction.
And for good reason. In the world of Glory Lords X, the Tower's archmages were practically synonymous with insanity.
They worshipped magic. Lived for it. Died for it. They'd sacrifice anything—wealth, power, even their own lives—in pursuit of magical truth.
But even their madness paled in comparison to the Angels.
