Mount Celestia

Plane of the Honourable
Back to Cosmology

Mount Celestia, The Celestial Court or just Celestia. is the name given to the realm of the New Gods. Birthplace of Celestials such as Angles, Deva, Hymn Singers, Seraphs and many other species.

It stands as a Lawful Good personification of the cosmology. but not to be confused with a representation.

The Pantheon is the collection of Greater Domains in the cosmology and the New gods that fill the throne each Domain has.

there are twenty four (24) Greater Domains that currently make up the Pantheon. Each Domain holding multiple Thrones. Each God that fills a throne in these domains is considered part of the Celestial Court and has major power and a voice in the court. (There are currently 21 Domains on the wiki need to fill out 3 more, Ideas: Love, Devotion, Dogmatic, Beauocracy, )

There are several Lesser Domains that fall within the scope of the Greater Domains but may have a lesser God or Patron overseeing them. These Domains do not get a say within the Pantheon or Court.

Arcana
The domain of Arcana is responsible for control and order of the weave itself. All Spell-casters channelling the weave for their magic have the Arcana domain to thank.

When the Dragons first wrangled and created the weave of arcane energy there was no Domain. It was furious and primal meant for Draconic kind to wield alone.
When Mortals first began to harness this primal arcane weave there was no domain. It was dangerous and lethal yet more powerful than any mortal could dream of, why wouldn't they try to tap into it.
When the first gods rose to power there was no domain. Divine power was seperate from Arcane power, what right did they have to control something they had no domain over?

Yet when finally, Gods were struck down with the untamed power of mortal magic brining about the cataclysmic Spell-Plague then a domain was established.
Mystra and the creation of the Arcana Domain helped subside the spell-plage and mortal magic was restricted forever more to prevent the Spell-Plague from ever returning.

When the Arcana Domain was established the divine magic known as Divination became intertwined with the mortals schools of magic and so granted mortals access to a sliver of divine power through divination magic.

War
When the first horn was sounded, the Domain of War heard.
The Domain of War dose not oversee the individual act of war but rather the essence of conflict. for without conflict there cannot be peace, without loss their cannot be gain.
The Domain of war is a means to other domains. There cannot be change if there is nothing to change for. Hero's and leaders do not rise up during peace times.

The Domain of war serves another purpose. for if the Pantheon were ever to intact War, it would be this Domain that provides the soldiers, the weapons, the generals to head that Divine war. The armies of Celestia are under the command of the Gods that claim the thrones in the War Domain.
The First war and the birth of this domain started when the universe was still young, between the Joutunbrund and the Dragons

Death
The Domain of Death is a grim but necessary one. A Domain that governs the right for the living to pass on without issue. For the protection of souls, For proper burial practices and dignified rest.

Grave
The Domain of the Grave governs the crucial part of what happens after death? The Grave domain is responsible of seeing souls safety to the afterlife, making sure they are not tainted, corrupted or stolen. and most importantly a determined fighter against Un-death, Souls called back against their will, souls refusing to pace on.

Many souls wind up here after their time ends I the mortal realm. Those who were considered followers of the New Gods Hero's, those who committed great deeds of good and kindness and some that were made as a bargain to get into Celestia at the cost of something. Even souls that may have run a very convincing story before being sorted.

The name given to the forces that are Domains of the Domains. The Personified forced or the universe known as the Old Gods and the fundamentals they represent.

Encumbrances the domains of

• Life
• Death
• Grave

Home of the Celestial Court

Home to the greater and lesser gods of the land. they oversee and govern all other realms (As best they can) without causing upset.

Home of the Loxodon Species, They are not native to this dimension but sought refuge from another when it was destroyed. The Gods of that time accepted this and they have been living at the base of Celestia for generations.
