Divine is a recurring Race of Demons in the Megami Tensei franchise. It is closely tied to, and sometimes overlaps with the Herald Race.
Profile
The Divine Race is often composed exclusively of angels from the Abrahamic religions, the most common members being the nine orders of angels as described by Pseudo-Dionysius in On the Celestial Hierarchy, with the occasional inclusion of named angels and other divine entities. Divine Demons are often associated with the Law Alignment, the Light Attribute and a weakness to Dark.
List of Demons
