Funny thing about these angels: there was not even a remote trace of Slough life essence put into them.  As such, be aware that they are unnatural life, will be targeted by White Giants and other planetary sentinels, as well as avoided by natural life and rejected by the system of nature.  They won't need to eat, sleep, grow, evolve, or anything of the sort, but they are as disconnected from the world as light is from matter.  Despite Niciel's niceness, her new creations are as alien as elementals and ashlings.  They aren't part of the natural hierarchy; they are a hierarchy unto themselves.

Considering that they were crafted of holy power, and 'holy' means separate, this is highly appropriate and probably intentional.  I can see some very interesting things arising from this.

On another note, I've compiled a list of gods who have entered the Deepwood.  Please correct me if I'm wrong or missed one:
Ull'Yang [@Vec]
Astarte [@Frettzo]
Niciel [@Scarifar]
Toun [@Bbeast]
Realthos [@Legion02]

Toun stole some of Slough's discarded life essence to make the hain, but that was near the coast of the fractal sea. I don't think he's ever been to the deepwood.

Also, yeah, in white giants, abberant life counts as life that hasn't got any of either Toun or Slough's essences in them. They would attack angels. The thing is, though, angels can fly. Kind of an advantage if you want to escape a giant.

The stuff that Vowzra did is defined by Kho's words, so you should interpret them from his post. My interpretation was that the otherness factor was only towards Jvanic or gap creatures.
