Seven Heavens The plane of Seven Heavens ( also called the Seven Mountains of Goodness and Law or Mount Celestia ) was the pinnacle of lawful good ness in the Great Wheel cosmology . The Seven Heavens were dedicated to goodness shaped by law and justice tempered with mercy . Some characteristics of this plane were ascribed to the World Tree cosmology planes of Green Fields and the House of the Triad when that cosmology became popular . Both Green Fields and House of the Triad ( which became known as Celestia ) survived the Spellplague and became part of the World Axis cosmology . Description . Each of the seven layers contained at least one mountain or high structure rising into the sky , and most had whole mountain ranges . The barriers between the seven layers were arranged such that entrances were at the lowest geographical points and exits were at the highest , so a traveler from the Astral Plane would enter the first layer at the base of a mountain ( actually , in the surf of the ocean surrounding the mountain ) and had to climb to the peak to reach the next layer , only to emerge at the nadir again . The sky of each layer had its own hue which softly bathed everything in gentle shades of luminance . Lunia . Known as the Silver Heaven , Lunia was the first layer travelers encountered . The sky of Lunia was a nighttime sky filled with stars that illuminated the layer with a silver glow . The " color pools " of the Astral Plane would deposit visitors in the surf of a vast ocean of clean , fresh water that had the properties of " holy water " . The adjacent beach belonged to an island with a majestic mountain decorated with grand citadels made from polished white stone . Descriptions of the citadels varied among travelers leading cosmologists to theorize that there were many of these mountain islands . Also in the surf of Lunia were the portals to the Twin Paradises , Arcadia , and Concordant Opposition which were large , permanent , free - standing blocks of finished stone . Black granite blocks veined with gold led to Arcadia , white granite blocks with veins of silver led to the Twin Paradises , and red granite blocks flecked with blue took you to Concordant Opposition . Travelers merely had to touch a block to activate the portal . Mecuria . Mecuria was known as the Golden Heaven because a warm golden light suffused everywhere . This layer contained the armory for the noblest warriors who came here for their eternal rest . If necessary , Mecuria was the marshaling ground for the armies of the Heavens . Bahamut ' s jeweled palace ( perhaps one of many , or it was movable ) was reported to be in this layer , among others . Venya . The third heaven , called the Heaven of Pearls , was a lush and verdant land with crops , meadows , moors , hills , and rolling countryside all bathed in the soft glow from a sky reminiscent of the luster of white pearl s . The halfling pantheon once made its home in Venya and they called it the Green Fields . Solania . Solania had a sky that glowed like burnished silver and was called the Electrum Heaven . Its valleys were enveloped in mist and fog and its mountain peaks where often occupied by monastic buildings controlled by demigod s . Many pilgrims came questing to the roof of this layer in the hopes of finding answers to life ' s persistent questions . Mertion . With a sky not too different from Solania ' s , the fifth layer was known as the Platinum Heaven . Vast plains and savannas served as the mustering ground for paladin s and other lawful good servants . Instead of mountains , Mertion had majestic citadels and huge black spherical domes dotting the plains . Access to the next higher layer was found at the tops of the domes . Jovar . Jovar was known as the Glittering Heaven or the Heaven of Gem s . This layer was actually a vault lined floor to ceiling with huge rubies and garnets that gave off a glow like a hearth fire . A seemingly unending ziggurat was the home of the Jovarian archons and guarded the entrance to the seventh heaven . Chronias . The seventh and last heaven was called the Illuminated Heaven and little is known of its structure because nothing has been recorded by the few who have visited and returned . The legends say that Chronias was so good and lawful that it glowed of its own accord and any who entered had all evil and neutrality burned out of them , leaving them inherently good , if they survived . Many religions made this level the home of their lawful good deities , believing any lesser realms were merely to accommodate less worthy souls . Inhabitants . The archons were the native and most numerous inhabitants of the Seven Heavens , cheerfully going about the business of serving the Higher Powers . Many types of archons lived in the first six layers but only rumors existed of a ruling archon ensconced in Chronias . Other creatures found on this plane were solar s , planetar s , hollyphant s , deva s , foo creature s , and agathia . Human and non - human pilgrims , shedu , lammasu , ki - rin , and dragon horse s would visit fairly often . Afterlife . The spirits of those who earned a place in the Seven Heavens would become Lantern archon s much the same as evil souls became larvae in the Lower Planes .
