King of Caelestia

The Celestial Complex (Formerly),

Caelestia (Formerly),

The **Kings of Caelestia** is a title held by monarchs reigning on The Solar Throne, or The Lunar Throne.

## History

### Origin

In 7753 BP, Caelulus founds the city of Caelestia, becoming the first **King of Caelestia.**

### The Kingdoms Under the Crown

Quickly becoming the fastest developing settlement, Caelestia naturally became the largest city, and people chose the Caelnes kings as their leaders. In 6509 BP, The Republic of Caelestia is born, and the monarchy is felled, by demand of the people. In 5390 BP, following The Arian Conquest, the Caelnes line is almost wiped out entirely. For over one thousand years these wars were fought, eventually leading to The Caelnes Conquest, the Caelnes taking back control over Austellus.

In 3922 BP, The Republic of Caelestia is discontinued, restoring the monarchy in Caelestia. Because of this, more lords start claiming independence from the state, spawning The Eighty-Eight Kingdoms.

Eventually, in 1225 BP, The Caelestius Conquest occurs, bringing near every kingdom to kneel under the crown. By the end of it, The Fifteen Kingdoms were united under the crown.

Following Erland's Escape after The Great Pause, in 165 AP, The Eight Kingdoms were formed under the crown.

Following The War of the Wastelands, Esmond II Centaur forms The Nine Kingdoms under the crown.

Following Sigmund's Rebellion, Palmer II Centaur pardons Ram's Haven, allowing House Horncurve to be part of The Ten Kingdoms under one crown. Currently, this is still the case.
