Fig. 1.1: Stained Glass portrayal of Zoral (possibly Zagophon)
Zoral [zoh-rahl] (Elder Zevestivak: Zoral; Direct VRA : Zoral) is a prominent angelic figure in Zevestivan Faith.
Etymology[]
Zoral roughly translates to "Bringer".
Characteristics[]
Zoral is often depicted as a bodiless head with wings and arms. The gender is unknown since a Zardu Belt or Kozan Chest Plate, key garments often used to specify gender, is always absent. Despite this Zoral is usually referred to as male. Zoral is one of the few angelic figures whose modern portrayals have not been humanized and match those in ancient religious texts.
