Celestial archon

Archons, not to be confused with the similarly named elementals, were an elite group of celestials in the service of all that is lawful and good. Archons were wholly good and lawful and were consistently at odds with fiends of any kind, though they particularly despised demons.

Many archons served the Triad gods Tyr, Torm, and Ilmater. The good deities Cyrrollalee, Dugmaren Brightmantle, Eilistraee, Milil, and Mystra all had lantern archons in their service. Hound archons served the halfling god Urogalan. Archons of all varieties were found in service to the good deities Arvoreen, Berronar Truesilver, and Deneir.

Types
The archons most well-known to those on the Material Plane of Toril were lantern archons, hound archons, and trumpet archons. In addition to these, there were owl archons, sword archons, throne archons, and warden archons.

Society
Archons were native to the House of the Triad, and most lived on Mount Celestia. Others lived in the realms of the Triad deities.

The archons were led by the Celestial Hebdomad, a ruling council of paragons, which were themselves sometimes referred to as "tome archons".

History
Between &minus;247 and &minus;238 DR, an army of archons, led by then-new deity Tyr, marched on Jhaamdath and defeated Valigan Thirdborn.
