Biography

Shining Ones and Wicked Ones Observations

Athalaeus wrote observations about the Shining Ones and Wicked Ones and on the suggestions each of these made regarding the original nature of the Celestians:

Celestians were neither wholly physical nor entirely ethereal. This in his opinion,disqualified them from being gods
Celestians were beings of great power, who simply appeared as gods to the much less sophisticated mortal races of Pannithor at that time.
Celestians had arrived at Pannithor from another plane of existence altogether, seeking refuge from some calamity or other and seeing in this world an opportunity to rule as deities, easily able to manipulate the naïve, lesser races which dwelled there.
Celestians knew the paths to these strange ‘otherworlds’ and ‘planes of reality’ having emerged from there themselves and taught the elven kin how to use them.
The Celestian Oskan was the youngest of the Celestians, possibly even the child of an unhappy union among their kind
Oskan, was not to be trusted for he is bitter, and full of loathing both for his own kind and the noble races of Pannithor,
Oskan was young weak and barely tolerated by his kin, conceived of a way to destroy both without challenging his peers himself. His pawn Calisor Fenulian, greatest of his kind and the most powerful elf to have ever lived.

Athalaneus was committed to the sanatorium, upon his death they examined his cell, one word repeatedly scrawled and scratched out that has continued to baffle scholars and historians alike was the name Reiliur, as well as stating that Valandor’s twin aspect was Ba’el.
