'''Celestians''' were a race of being that were brought to Pannithor via the Scrying Star from year -1095 until -902. A total of 60 Celestains arrived before the Scrying Star was destroyed. They ate Sahlirian Fruit which gave them immortality, which was grown from a Sahlirian Tree which is native to their original homeworld.

By year -170, less than 57 Celestians remained when the smashing of the [[Fenulian Mirror]] occured, splitting them in half into [[Shining Ones]] and [[Wicked Ones]] with only 1 Celestian remaining ([[Karinna|Katrinna]])

Way back in Pannithor, there were three great civilizations. These were the Kingdoms of Elves, the Underlands of the Dwarfs, and the Republic of Primovantor. Apparently there weren't any orcs or demons around and things were good. These three kingdoms also worshiped the same pantheon of gods; the Celestians. The Celestians might have been gods or might have been ancient aliens, no one really knows, but regardless they aided the three great races by guiding them and teaching them to build sweet stuff like great cities and stargates.

So everything was great, but then trouble came to Pannithor. High honcho elven mage [[Calisor|Calisor Fenulian]] was busy going on adventures (guess they were still having adventures somehow even though there weren't any monsters around) when he met a beautiful human woman named [[Elinathora]]. He tried his best charm check, but that failed, so he went to do what any elf would in such a situation, namely mope around feeling sorry for himself.

While he was wandering around feeling sorry for himself, [[Calisor]] happened upon a Celestian named Oskan. [[Oskan (Celestian)|Oskan]] suggested he Calisor create this artifact called the [[Fenulian Mirror]] made with god tears and other weird shit. He was sure if [[Elinathora]] looked into this mirror everything would work out great, for you see this magical mirror would show her the future. I'm sure nothing bad could come from doing something like that. To be fair, Oskan did give one of those vague, half-assed warnings that gods and elves seem to love giving.

So [[Calisor]] went on this epic quest outlined in about a paragraph and made this mirror. He had Elianthora look into it. She saw that they would make a great couple, have great sex, and make a bunch of kids. So far so good. However Calisor had ignored those vague warnings and got so caught watching the show that he didn't turn the thing off when Elianthora died. After her death she saw Calisor banging a bunch of other chicks and mucking up the whole world before finally being killed by his own children. This didn't look good, so she smashed the mirror.

As one would expect who plays these sort of games, smashing the Fenulian Mirror caused reality to start shaking up. Most of the Celestians were killed outright while apocalyptic earthquakes and floods covered the world. A total of 37 Celestians survived, but they were torn in two; a good half and an evil half. These became known as the Shining Ones and Wicked Ones, respectively. The history of Pannithor was from then on shaped by these two forces and their allies.
=== Creation of the Shining Ones and Wicked Ones ===
As one would expect who plays these sort of games, smashing the Fenulian Mirror caused reality to start shaking up. Most of the Celestians were killed outright while apocalyptic earthquakes and floods covered the world.


[[Oskan, Father of Lies|Oskan]] absorbed the shining half of himself. while [[Green Lady]] is made up of the Shining and Wicked halfs of 2 Celestians. This brings us too 32 [[Shining Ones]] and 33 [[Wicked Ones]]. The [[God War|God war]] resulted in the death of a few of the [[Shining Ones]] and [[Wicked Ones]], and 27 of the Wicked Ones are currently trapped in [[the Abyss]].
There were 54 Celestians at the time of the [[Fenulian Mirror]] smashing, however only a total of 37 Celestians survived, but they were torn in two; a good half and an evil half. These became known as the [[Shining Ones]] and [[Wicked Ones]]. Out of the 37 Celestians , there were 36 [[Shining Ones]] and 36 [[Wicked Ones]] as [[Karinna]], now known as the [[The Green Lady|Green Lady]], managed to resist spliting due to her connection with nature. Making her the last remaining known Celestian in Pannithor.  


===Notable Celestians===
Conflict between these two newly created factions began shortly after and soon resulted in [[The God War]]


== Notable Celestians ==
Note: Some of the characters described below are 'true' Celestians, others are the Wicked and Shining aspects that were created when the Celestians were split. The nature of some of them is not entirely clear in the lore, and this is possibly due to the fact that stories and legends of their deeds have been passed down over thousands of years, with details and facts not entirely consistent. Some Celestians seem to have retained their original name for both of their aspects when they split in two, others got new names.

It is unclear as so why this was the case, but their names may be just how they are known to mortals and different races and cultures may might have had their own naming conventions.

There were 37 [[Celestians]] who were split in two when the [[Fenulian Mirror]] broke but only 36 [[Shining Ones]] and 36 [[Wicked Ones]] as the Green Lady managed to use the power of nature to not split, remaining Celestian.


Celestians arrived to Pannithor in 3 waves of 20. The first 20 arrived in -1095, second lot of 20 in -995 and the final 20 in -902. A fourth attempt occured -702 however this failed and a deformed [[Carnesus]] was brought through.

Celestians were a race of being that were brought to Pannithor via the Scrying Star from year -1095 until -902. A total of 60 Celestains arrived before the Scrying Star was destroyed. They ate Sahlirian Fruit which gave them immortality, which was grown from a Sahlirian Tree which is native to their original homeworld.

By year -170, less than 54 Celestians remained when the smashing of the Fenulian Mirror occured, splitting them in half into Shining Ones and Wicked Ones with only 1 Celestian remaining (Katrinna)

Background

Way back in Pannithor, there were three great civilizations. These were the Kingdoms of Elves, the Underlands of the Dwarfs, and the Republic of Primovantor. Apparently there weren't any orcs or demons around and things were good. These three kingdoms also worshiped the same pantheon of gods; the Celestians. The Celestians might have been gods or might have been ancient aliens, no one really knows, but regardless they aided the three great races by guiding them and teaching them to build sweet stuff like great cities and stargates.

So everything was great, but then trouble came to Pannithor. High honcho elven mage Calisor Fenulian was busy going on adventures (guess they were still having adventures somehow even though there weren't any monsters around) when he met a beautiful human woman named Elinathora. He tried his best charm check, but that failed, so he went to do what any elf would in such a situation, namely mope around feeling sorry for himself.

Smashing of the MIrror

While he was wandering around feeling sorry for himself, Calisor happened upon a Celestian named Oskan. Oskan suggested he Calisor create this artifact called the Fenulian Mirror made with god tears and other weird shit. He was sure if Elinathora looked into this mirror everything would work out great, for you see this magical mirror would show her the future. I'm sure nothing bad could come from doing something like that. To be fair, Oskan did give one of those vague, half-assed warnings that gods and elves seem to love giving.

So Calisor went on this epic quest outlined in about a paragraph and made this mirror. He had Elianthora look into it. She saw that they would make a great couple, have great sex, and make a bunch of kids. So far so good. However Calisor had ignored those vague warnings and got so caught watching the show that he didn't turn the thing off when Elianthora died. After her death she saw Calisor banging a bunch of other chicks and mucking up the whole world before finally being killed by his own children. This didn't look good, so she smashed the mirror.

Creation of the Shining Ones and Wicked Ones

As one would expect who plays these sort of games, smashing the Fenulian Mirror caused reality to start shaking up. Most of the Celestians were killed outright while apocalyptic earthquakes and floods covered the world.

There were 54 Celestians at the time of the Fenulian Mirror smashing, however only a total of 37 Celestians survived, but they were torn in two; a good half and an evil half. These became known as the Shining Ones and Wicked Ones. Out of the 37 Celestians , there were 36 Shining Ones and 36 Wicked Ones as Karinna, now known as the Green Lady, managed to resist spliting due to her connection with nature. Making her the last remaining known Celestian in Pannithor.

Conflict between these two newly created factions began shortly after and soon resulted in The God War

Notable Celestians

Note: Some of the characters described below are 'true' Celestians, others are the Wicked and Shining aspects that were created when the Celestians were split. The nature of some of them is not entirely clear in the lore, and this is possibly due to the fact that stories and legends of their deeds have been passed down over thousands of years, with details and facts not entirely consistent. Some Celestians seem to have retained their original name for both of their aspects when they split in two, others got new names.

It is unclear as so why this was the case, but their names may be just how they are known to mortals and different races and cultures may might have had their own naming conventions.

Celestians arrived to Pannithor in 3 waves of 20. The first 20 arrived in -1095, second lot of 20 in -995 and the final 20 in -902. A fourth attempt occured -702 however this failed and a deformed Carnesus was brought through.
