Tennin

Creature 9 — angel, celestial, holy

Celestial artisans and elegant dancers called tennins serve as Nirvana's attendants, where they weave the gods' marvelous, seamless garments from clouds and frost and entertain the courts with skyward dances, their footsteps lighter than dew. During catastrophic wars and disasters, tennins descend from Nirvana to mend what is broken and soothe those who suffer. The realm of Nirvana often promotes the virtuous souls of dutiful craftspeople and dedicated musicians to the ranks of the brocade angel
