Celestial Empires

The **Celestial Empires** are a series of invasions by the Eimares Celestials to conquer and enslave the Galaxy. There were roughly nine large civilisations led by the Celestials throughout Galactic history.

## First Celestial Empire

See also: Eimaranda Empire

This civilisation, the first civilisation in the Rabydosverse's Galaxy, is the Celestial civilisation widely-known as the "Celestial Empire". It was known for leaving behind various artifacts, ruins, and magic throughout various planets; and for enslaving and exterminating various races considered barbaric or inferior.

In its later history, it was torn between the Thamunzar and Hjokkunzar civilisations, and then annihilated by the mortal Anevondir.

## Second Celestial Empire

At around the Fifth Galactic Empire, the Nagiruge have constructed the first Celestial Gates since the extermination of the Celestials ages ago, and used them to quickly navigate across the Galaxy to explore it. However, one of these portals unleashed armies of Celestials, who sought to establish a second Celestial Empire to dominate the mortals of the Galaxy. This led to wars between the decaying Rynavonts, the growing Carvasari, and the vengeful Celestials. But in this three-way galactic war, the human Freyrgardians kept winning and taking the spoils.

## Third Celestial Empire

The Seventh Galactic Empire was divided between a Freyrgardian civilisation, the Kingdom of Lysandre; and the Third Celestial Empire.

Even though the civilisation of Vraneras worshipped the Celestials, they wisely rejected the Third Celestial Empire, viewing them as murderous, sadistic tyrants who disobeyed the holy will of their Celestial gods. As much as they tried to avoid a devastating war with the Third Celestial Empire, they only fought against them to defend their allies from extermination and slavery.

## Eighth Celestial Empire

The Eighth Celestial Empire materialised in the eastern Galaxy, waging war against the Kuelgons and the Narivalans (Novantirnas) to reclaimed their technology. Three great battles opened rifts into the spirit realm, unleashing horrific ghosts and magical storms into interstellar space.

## Ninth Celestial Empire

During the Seventeenth Galactic Empire, the Ninth Celestial Empire emerged with eight other civilisations in the northern edge of the Galactic Hub. These Celestials murdered and ate many spellcasters across the Galactic north, leaving it devoid of life.

To protect themselves, most of the Novantirnas gave up their own magic by offering their own abilities to Odin, their god and the creator of the Celestials. With only their technology, and later the destructive Ninth Lore magic of the Rukthaneh that wiped out many hungry Celestials, the Novantirna fleets managed to destroy the Ninth Celestial Empire and rebuild the north.

## Axaaradari

This empire emerged in 900 AT, as its members sought to reconquer the Galaxy and enslave all mortal life on every planet. It based itself after the First Celestial Empire.

Among their emperors included Tjolakarad the Traitor (900 AT), Maldaras the Hammer (1234 AT), Marakrodas the Wrathful (1334 AT), Zomaltaras the Destroyer (1400 AT), Granavad the Enslaver (1824 AT), and Sharandel the Tormentor (1986 AT).
