"therspresent an aloof and lofty demeanor, anintimidating aura that, while noble, keeps peoplefrom trying to get too close. #mong good people,aasimars are held in high opinion as a standardby which all should live, while those of an evil

nature view aasimars as self-righteous anddangerously moralistic.

glory. %ost aasimars are true to their sires and the blood that

courses through their veins, being true of heart, courageous,

and honest to a fault. $heir nobility and goodness are legendary.&evertheless, a few turn stag and become as untrustworthy a
