Paragon's Might

Paragons are the servants/deputies/consorts of the goddess Tiriana, the Tree of Life. Their purpose can be compared to angels. In the earlier days of Tiriana's presence, when Tiriana was still rooted, they protected her and fought the Darkness.
When Tiriana ascended, the Paragons joined her. Sightings of Paragons have become exceedingly rare.
Paragons are described, among other things, as "warriors of light" who are "wielding divine power" which is supposed to be able to "smite evil like a blade". That's why, particularly in later depictions, Paragons are often shown carrying a sword. A common design element of this sword is that it has wing-shaped quillons.

I haven't posted anything in a while, since I was busy with other projects. I actually finished this a while ago, but wasn't really too happy with it. Figured I should post it anyway, maybe someone likes it.
