## Dominions of Celestials

### **First Sphere**

Celestials in the first sphere serve as the heavenly servants of the Powers themselves. They are most commonly known as Angels, but are known to scholars of religion as Thrones and Songs for they are seen as the ones who serve directly to the seats of divine power and sing of their majesty. Unlike examples in lower spheres, these celestial have never been mortal and could never have touched the lineages of mortals to form aasimar because of the Covenant of the Ascended.

***Examples of First Sphere Celestials.*** Archangels, Devas, Planetars, Solars

### Second Sphere

Celestials of the second sphere work as heavenly governors of the creation by subjecting matter while guiding and ruling the spirits. They operate at the behest of the Powers, but receive instruction from Celestials of the First Sphere or from other agents of the divine. These celestials are known commonly as Archons, but to religious scholars they are known as Tomes. Celestials from this sphere that mark the lineage of mortals to form aasimar typically form Protector Aasimar. Mortals who die and ascend to a higher state can be called upon to become an Archon if they upheld the goodly nature exhibited by that type of Archon. For example, a paladin or a god of justice and law might ascend to be come a Justice archon.

***Examples of Second Sphere Celestials.*** Grand Archons, Hound Archons, Justice Archons, Lantern Archons, Sword Archons, Throne Archons, Tome Archons, Trumpet Archons, Warden Archons

### Third Sphere

Celestials of the third sphere function as heavenly guides, protectors, and messengers to mortal beings. They are known commonly as Guardinals, but to scholars they are called

**Examples of Third Sphere Celestials.** Great Guardinals, Avoral, Cervidal, Equinal, Leonal, Lupinal, Ursinal, Musteval

### Fourth Sphere

Celestials of the fourth sphere form the massive armies that defend the domains of the Gods or that operate for the powers in the world of Urz or one of the other planes (such as the Shae'zhas). According to the Heirarchia, the powerful elves known as eladrin are not unlike aasimar in that they have a link in their bloodline to a celestial being. The celestials that eladrin descend from (also known as eladrin) come from this sphere.

*Examples of Fourth Sphere Celestials.* Asura, Bariaur, Bralani eladrin, Cinis, Couatl, Coure eladrin, Firre eladrin, Foo creatures, Ghaele eladrin, Hollyphant, Ki-rin, Lillend, Noviere eladrin, Pegasus, Shiere eladrin, Tulani eladrin, Unicorn

### Fifth Sphere

Celestials of the fifth sphere are quasi-celestials, not in truth members of the divine but instead creatures that have been touched by it in some way. The most common creature of this sphere are priests who channel divine power from the Light Winds directly.
