Celestial paragon A celestial paragon is the antithesis of an archfiend . There are currently 16 paragons . 7 of them each rule one of the seven heavens of Mount Celestia on the House of the Triad . 6 of them reside on the House of Nature and 3 roam Arvandor and the Gates of the Moon on a whim . Unlike archfiends , infighting is unthinkable to paragons and no paragon ' s army has ever marched against anothers . The paragons operate outside of the ranks of the good - aligned deities . They have their own celestial agents and many have organizations working for them in Faerûn . They remind their followers constantly that they themselves are not gods and to worship them thus is a sin . They cannot directly grant spells to divine casters but sometimes petition good deities to grant their followers particular spells or allow them access to divine domains . Epic - level followers can also research and cast a spell that would allow them to channel a celestial paragon for a time , in case they have to battle with an archfiend or some other exceptionally powerful evil . . The Celestial Hebdomad . The Celestial Hebdomad are powerful archons who were once mortals , and now serve as generals and advisers to the gods of Celestia . These mortals were the first to sacrifice themselves to the cause of law and goodness . Their eternal mandate is to lead the righteous armies of the House of the Triad . They are led by Zaphkiel , who is the only original member of the Hebdomad , the others having been slain . However , when one of the Hebdomad is killed , an archon is simply changed into the form of the deceased paragon with all of their powers . The Hebdomad forms a kind of ruling council with Zaphkiel at it ' s head and consists of the following members : Bahamut . After Bahamut ' s aspect of Marduk died , Bahamut shared the domain of Domiel as a fellow paragon . Since Bahamut ' s meeting with Gareth Dragonsbane and his apotheosis back to godhood , Bahamut has retaken his realm in Dragon Eyrie . Following the Spellplague and Tyr ' s death during a demonic invasion of Celestia , he also maintains a home in the House of the Triad , having taken up the mantle of god of justice . Talisid and the Five Companions . This group of Guardinal Celestial Paragons are more like an adventuring party than any kind of rulers . They wander the House of Nature and smash any evil creatures that threaten the plane . The guardinals have always existed here as far as anyone knows and the companions have always solved disputes and led celestial warriors into battle . Members of the group retire once they deem themselves unfit for service but Talisid has been around for so long , hardly anyone can remember the name of the group ' s former leader . Occasionally , members of the group argue , but they do so as the dearest of friends with a loyalty to each other that puts mere family loyalty to shame . . The membership of the group is currently as follows : The Court of Stars . The Court of Stars itself is a demiplane that travels between locations in Arvandor and the Gates of the Moon at Morwel , the Queen of Stars ' whim . This is achieved by opening " portal s " that shift the plane between the two realms , Morwel is the only being with the ability to open and close these " portals " . The demiplane resembles an autumnal sylvan forest populated with fey and eladrin s with a huge crystal palace erupting from the heart of the woods where the Queen entertains guests and discusses important issues . Beings on the plane do not hunger , thirst or tire , but can eat , drink and sleep for enjoyment . Morwel and her consorts rule over the eladrins . Morwel is flighty but always has the best interests of the eladrin people at heart . While Morwel holds absolute power as a feudal queen would , she relies heavily on the counsel of her consorts whom she holds a great amount of affection for . Though she has had many consorts in the past , she currently only has two :
