Introduction
Nephilim are humans who have been bestowed with Grace. When this happens, a human gets a portion of power similar to that of the seraphim. Because of the Grace they must abide by the teachings of Illumin.

Details
Languages: Nephilims speak the Lucian language. Depending on where they were born before they turned into a Nephilim, they might be capable of speaking multiple Earthland languages.
Religion
Religion: Illumin's Church
Biology
Appearance: Nephilims look similar to humans, but are taller than the average man. Their hair color varies, but are typically light colored. Nephilims get bright golden circles in their eyes when they use their powers, and can partially turn into their angelic form when required.
Lifespan: Nephilim's Grace gives them a longer lifespan. While they are not immortal like the Seraphims, they can become up to 200 years old. Most, however, do not live that long and meet their demise in the battlefield.
Psychology: Similar to Seraphims, Nephilims are inherently good due to their Grace. They cannot help but act good in any given situation. There are a few who dismiss the teachings of Illumin and turn bad. However, when a Nephilim strays from the good path, they slowly disconnect themselves from their Grace and lose some of their angelic abilities.
Lore
History: The first Nephilim came into existence more than a thousand years ago during the war between the seraphim and Demons on Earthland. Both sides were searching for the Uldyssian and managed to form sides with the races on Earthland to aid them in their cause in return for power. Both sides fought with each other for many years on Earthland. They could not find the Uldyssian anywhere. Instead of creating a new world, a few Demons began to consider simply conquering the entirety of Earthland.
With the Uldyssian supposedly no longer on Earthland, the Luminous Council began to retreat their forces back to the Lucent to venture to other realms in search of it. Many of the races on Earthland realized that without the Seraphim, they would soon fall under the rule of the Demons.
The humans pleaded with the Seraphim to help them out but the Luminous Council saw no use in staying, except for a single member. He saw potential in the races living on Earthland and believed that the virtues of Illumin would require them to at least offer them a method to survive. Since the humans were not capable of using magic at that time, the Seraphim bestowed a few of them with their Grace. Grace was something that the Seraphim were composed out of and were born from.
This resulted in the creation of the first few Nephilim. The armed forces of the Nephilim managed to force the demonic armies back into the Abyss. At the end of the war, only a single Nephilim survived the whole ordeal and in return she pledged to serve the Seraphim ever after. She, the Nephilim, became the first Divine and founded the Church of Illumin. The Seraphim would communicate with Earthland through the Divine in the future in case it was ever necessary.
More than a thousand years have passed after what is now referred to as the Uldyssian Wars. The Seraphim have no longer contacted Earthland but once in a few decades one has been sighted. Still somehow from time to time a new Nephilim comes into existence which indicates that not all the Seraphim have forgotten about Earthland.
