Celestian: The Star Wanderer (GAP)

__NOTOC__
==Celestian: The Star Wanderer==
Even more enigmatic than most powers, Celestian is often thought of as the planewalker's deity. He is a patron of travelers and wanderers, particularly those that stray far from their homes. Though a wandering power, he spends most of his time journeying through the Astral, occasionally crossing into the Ethereal and Inner Planes.
When he appears physically — which is practically never — he's been described as a mature, black-skinned man with dark, knowledge-laden eyes. He clothes his tall frame in garments as black as night, and his symbol is seven gems which blaze with the colors of far-away suns.
Planewalker priests often dedicate themselves to Celestian, for not only does he watch over travelers, he dwells mostly on the Astral, meaning that his power (that is, his priests' power) is not diminished on any of the Outer Planes, as they are all adjacent to the Astral. A canny planewalker knows that a priest loses spellcasting ability as he travels farther away from the plane where his deity lives. As a result, priests who worship a god of the Astral — like Celestian — don't have to worry about this loss of spellcasting ability no matter where they go on the Outer Planes.
Celestian's priests are usually characterized by their gem-covered black cloaks which give the impression of a field of stars. These folks rarely build fixed places of worship, but they do occasionally build or arrange for the creation of way homes on the Astral — places a traveler can go for shelter and safety. No One ever stays in these places long, but they have saved many a wanderer with a bit of food and protection from the elements (such as psychic winds and worse ...).
