Celestian is the Oeridian god of Stars, Space, and Wanderers. His symbol is a black circle set with seven stars. His color is black.
Description
Celestian often appears as a tall, lean man of middle years, wearing black garments set with his symbol, often worked in jewels (diamond, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, topaz, jacinth and ruby). His smooth skin and his eyes are ebony. His voice is a cold and unearthly whisper, which carries well despite its softness, but he seldom speaks.
Relationships
Celestian is brother to Fharlanghn. It is said that the two followed similar but differing paths.
Realm
Celestian dwells on the Astral Plane.
Worshippers
Celestian has but a small following in the Flanaess, being revered by astronomers, astrologers, navigators, philosophers, dreamers, and others who are interested in the sky and the cosmos.
Temples and rituals
Shrines to Celestian are located in the country, away from city lights, and are often built upon mountain peaks or hilltops with a clear view of the sky. Services are held outdoors under a starry sky.
