Fenulian Mirror

====Calisor and Elianthora====
During the Age of Light, Calisor Fenulian was considered to be the greatest mage of all time.  It is said that he could "call the ocean up from its bed, or call the clouds down from the sky".  In many ways, he was the hero of ages; an accomplished artist, statesman, and warrior, until he met Elianthora of Primovantor.
Elianthora's father was Macron, Tribune of Esk and envoy to the Elven city of Therennia Adar.  
Everything was good and fine until an Elf mage called Calisor messed everything up by falling in love with a human called Elianthora.
Calisor instantly fell in love and began to court her.  Not wishing to live in the shadow of such a great Elf, and fearing to die long before he would, she resisted every advance he made.  
Elianthora rejected him so like a true poncy elf he moped around until he met a Celestian, who told him the ingredients to make a mirror that could show Elianthora the future.
This constant rejection began to wear him down and he left the city, wandering the sacred groves outside its borders.  It was here that Calisor chanced upon Oskan, one of the younger Celestians, who enquired as to the Elf's health.
Calisor's response that all was well did not convince Oskan and, eventually, he told the Celestian of his heartache.  Oskan promised to help and told Calisor how to build a magical mirror that would show both the past and the future.  According to Oskan, all Calisor had to do was persuade Elianthora to look into the mirror until the "moment when a golden bird sings."
The construction of the mirror was a long and arduous task. Among the items Calisor needed was the glimmer of the Star of Heaven, the star which was the source of the Celestian's power.
Being a mage that has the power to rise the ocean up and walk through one realm of existence as easily as walking through a room, he got the ingredients pretty quick and when he showed Elianthora the mirror, she saw them falling in love and having loving children and living a life of love and goodness.
Eventually, Calisor was able to collect all he needed and began construction of the mirror and, upon completion, was able to persuade Elianthora to gaze into it.
==The Fenulian Mirror==
The Fenulian Mirror was created by an Elf mage called Calisor with the assistance of the Celestians, to try and woo Elianthora
The Mirror could show the future, but also the future of how you died, when you died and the actions of others after you died.
At first, she saw exactly what Calisor hoped she would - a life filled with adventure and love with many children and a devoted husband. Wrapped up in the visions they saw, Calisor paid no heed when the sound of bird song was heard.
Too late, he saw the golden bird Oskan had warned him of and the visions turned to those of Elianthora's death and the grief it would cause Calisor. In addition, she also saw the death of one of their children, killed by his father, and Calisor's subsequent death through shame.
On seeing this and Calisor having loads of children with others as after her death, and those children eventually killing him, Elianthora smashed the mirror, an act that was to have profound consequences for Pannithor as it possessed the essence of the Celestians.
== Smashed Mirror ==
It turns out one of the ingredients to make the mirror was a fragment of the star that gave the Celestians their power, and when one part is smashed, ALL of it, is smashed. The 37 Celestians that survived were split into two - a shining side and a wicked side, which then fought each other in a giant war.
So ended the Celestian Gods, replaced by their split aspects the Shining Ones and the Wicked Ones.
