CELESTIALISM - BLESSED
Syntax: PLEDGE <supernal>
        PLEDGES
        PLEDGE BREAK <supernal>
Power: 10 (Pool of Stars) (to pledge)
You are considered a Blessed One by the Holy Supernals of Celestia and may PLEDGE yourself to one of them. Your pledge can be seen when meditating upon PLEDGES, which also reveals what investable powers are granted. The first Holy Supernal pledged by a Celestine is seen as an indicator of the general path that Celestine will travel throughout his or her life, even if that person subsequently pledges to other Holy Supernals; thus, the first pledge is generally made only after a period of inner contemplation and meditation.
Note that you can also break a pledge, which will also break deep bonds (if you have one).
PLEDGING ELOHORA: Those Celestines who travel the path of the Lady of Light often become leaders among peers and diplomats to those who have yet to see the Light. Elohora grants both offensive and defensive powers that may be invested into angelic companions.
PLEDGING METHRENTON: As can be expected, the path of the Crusaders are for those Celestines who are more militant and fervent in bringing to Light to others. Methrenton grants offensive powers that may be invested into angelic companions.
PLEDGING SHAKINIEL: The Dawning Hope Celestines are no less fighters than the Crusaders, but are focused on protecting those already following the Light. Shakiniel grants investable powers that confuse and obfuscate enemies of the Light.
PLEDGING JAPHIEL: Celestines who pledge Japhiel prefer the path of judges and mediators, more interested in fairness, truth and divine justice than anything else. Japhiel grants investable powers that play upon the mind.
PLEDGING RAZIELA: None are more revered than those who follow the path of the smallest Holy Supernal. The road of Loving Radiance is for the gentler and kinder souls. Raziela grants investable powers of a purely defensive nature.
