what are the celestials

The Crown of Star. A mighty artifact that symbolizes the Divine Federations might across the galaxies. Gone. Missing. The Colony Planets region is on the brink of disaster after the uprising in the Federation. But that won't stop Leonard Haravok from seeking his revenge even if it comes at the expense of the Divine Federation. Meanwhile on a distant planet, millions of light years away from the Federation, a young woman is about to endeavor on a great journey as the planet undergoes a transformative event. An event that might be linked to her past and her family.

(Trigger warning: Harsh Language, Abuse, Slavery, Excessive Violence, Injustice) The Celestial is a symbol of the divine, a pillar which stretches high into the heavens. It is worshipped for the blessings it brought upon the world; extraordinary power, revolutionary tools, and beings beyond understanding. Bearing its power will not only change your fate, but the fate of the world. Grelt has existed within a struggle for power for over a century. A war between Angels and Demons ravaged the land, but only ended with the alliance between the angels, the hybrids, and the non-unified. The non-unified race did not receive the divine gifts of the celestial, they were not worthy. As beings who were second to the blessing of the Celestial, they have no choice but to bow before the hybrids and angels. It has been a week since the execution of Jacks parents, and he has taken their place as a miner in the small non-unified town of Logos. He is beginning to feel the despair living the rest of his life under the hybrid alliance, and seeks to change the world he was born into.

Half a half-century after the events of the Crown of Stars, Terra stands transformed. On Terra, the shattering of the Grey— the mystical veil that once hid magic from mundane eyes—has fused two realities into one. Cities now share their skylines with floating citadels, arcane ley‑lines hum beneath once‑quiet streets, and ordinary Terrans awaken to powers they never dreamed possible. In the vacuum left by the fallen regimes, the mage‑conclave Octagram and the chivalric order Golden Dawn broker a fragile new world order alongside the rulers of the former Hidden World. Amid the upheaval, Samantha Sinclair—reborn as Asha’Yee, Keeper of the Sacred Flame—guides the newly awakened through their first sparks of power. Together with Emily Legens and her comrades she turns her focus to a deeper enigma: the vanishing of the legendary AurenIdril Empire, whose secrets may hold the key to stabilizing (or toppling) the newborn age. Every clue draws them closer to the mythic Eclipsed Vault, a place whispered to house the empire’s final legacy—and the reason the gods themselves fear Terra’s rise. Far from home, Leonard Haravok—now a full demigod—has returned to the Divine Federation and vanished from public sight. Rumors hint at celestial trials, forbidden bargains, and a destiny that could either save Terra or condemn it. As cosmic forces converge on the planet, Leon and Sam’s intertwined fates edge toward an inevitable collision—one that will test old loyalties, spark new alliances, and decide whether the light of the new era will blaze or be snuffed out before it can truly dawn. In a world where the veil is gone and the gods are watching, the greatest secrets lie in the shadows of the Eclipsed Vault—and unlocking them may cost more than anyone is willing to pay.

The Crown of Star. A mighty artifact that symbolizes the Divine Federations might across the galaxies. Gone. Missing. The Colony Planets region is on the brink of disaster after the uprising in the Federation.

In the realm of Threa, history is wrapped in many tragedies and mysteries. Countless spirits—remnants of the unknown past, roam the land, relentlessly assailing the living. Their hunger was insatiable. At the heart of Threa’s mythology stands Origin, a revered Celestial, believed to have shaped all things. In its divine wisdom, Origin bestowed upon humanity the Soul Flame—a sacred gift, a spark of hope, the call of dependence to the Divinity spoken through the tongue of the Primal. And the very source of what will be known by many as―magic. Through this miracle, mortals have defied fate, thriving in a world riddled with supernatural dangers. Yet, just as spirits crave Life Essence, humanity is driven by its own hunger. For power, for wealth—heedless of the ruin such desires may bring. Their unchecked ambition often leads to catastrophe, unraveling the balance that holds existence together. The spirits, ever yearning, draw closer to the realm of the living, distorting reality itself. Their growing presence warps the fabric of nature, igniting events that defy reason. Driven by instinct, emotion, and an eternal thirst, they clash with mortals in an endless cycle of conflict and survival. And yet, through these trials, humanity finds its resilience, shaped by Celestial influence—or so they choose to believe. Would you be the same? * * * At first, El was just a seven-year-old boy, surviving in a war-torn village. Though he was far from ordinary, for his fragmented memories made it difficult to remember many, yet gifted him with an uncanny intelligence. With only a few tattered books from a crumbling, wooden library, he taught himself how to read, clinging to knowledge as his only solace. He believed his Fate was sealed, bound to die like the others who succumbed to illness and starvation. However, Destiny spoke otherwise. It changed the day his village was attacked. The invaders slaughtered everyone, yet for reasons he couldn’t fathom, they left him alive. When El awoke under the pale light of the full moon, they returned, searching for what they called ‘a breath that was left.’ Helpless, he was captured. What followed was a blur―six years of his life erased from memory. He woke up again, his head bandaged, in the care of a mysterious man who brought him to Mirthwater, a city in one of the Four Vassal States of the Eschaton Empire. Then, without much of an explanation, he abandoned him there. Left to fend for himself, El navigated the harsh underside of Mirthwater, while haunted by dreams of the unknown he couldn’t make sense of. But his quiet struggle for survival suddenly took a dark turn when he stumbled into a brewing conflict hidden within the city’s shadows. Unwittingly thrust into a world fraught with evil and death, he found himself face-to-face with creatures born from humanity’s darkest desires and worst nightmares. Now, El must confront the horrors lurking in the depths of Mirthwater and uncover the truth about his past―before it consumes him in its glacial touch. * * * This novel is entirely a work of fiction.
