The Goddess of the Moon and Night Neutral Good Arcana, Light Portfolio: The Moon, Healing, Sex, Mercy, Mystery Temples: Temples to Celeste honor the moon, with polished silver and windows open to the progression of the moon across the sky, especially the solstices.
Celeste is depicted as a beautiful woman with pale skin, draped in robes made up of the night sky, stars and mist. Celeste aided in the construction of Incancatus’ great works, helping to refine them and calm the energies introduced by Soltis. She helped to create the planes of faerie and umbral to act as locations for living energies to refresh and decay as the flow cycled them through. Each of these planes retains a permanent aspect of Celeste, the moon on the faerie is always full, the moon in the umbral is always new. The shift between the full and new moon also remains depicted in her symbol.
Celeste did not directly participate in the war against Incancatus, she largely avoided the fighting. Instead, she remained in the celestial planes, providing aid and a place of rest for those that fought in the god's war against the mad god. She especially worked to care for those mortals that had been drafted into the war. Following the breaking Celeste has retained this desire for peace and healing. Her agents work to provide healing and peace and she personally has dedicated herself to calming the wild magics of Orizon and repairing the damage they call.
Celeste is primarily known as a merciful and calm god. Those who are lost and abandoned may find themselves beginning to slip away in her embrace as she offers them mercy. Whispering songs that have long been forgotten until they rest. She is a healer not merely of the body, but of the soul.
Celeste is also a god of freedom. She is permissive and free-willed, never one to be ordered, even by Soltis or Incancatus at the heights of their power. She delights in people embracing their humor and freedoms and in the joys of mortals and life. She holds the nighttime as a place for people to embrace the true selves they keep hidden and express their desires. Celeste will often manifest in a guise of a beautiful mortal to join people in their nighttime celebrations, and sometimes take lovers among mortals, showing them a true love of a god.
