Aerial Servant (Haoou)
by John Walter BilesNatives of the Plane of Air, Aerial Servants resemble man-shaped banks of rolling fog. They are malevolent creatures and enemies of humanity; nevertheless, they are bound to obey the summons of those who know the correct rituals, they can only be commanded to services which do not inherently involve violence. (If ordered to deliver a sword to the city of Corunglain, they will fight to defend themselves if attacked, but the task is acceptable as it doesn’t inherently require violence. Convincing one to deliver the sword to Orcus’ pancreas is another question...) They are known as Haoou at home. They are enemies to Helion and Djinn but especially fear Earth-based creatures.
