Celehim

The Celehim are descendants of celestial beings bound to the material plane or blessed children of portent. They retain the power of their celestial lineage and draw on it to serve their divine purpose. Near inhuman in their interactions most feel apart from the rest of the peoples of the world. Drawn under the influence of Synstasia since the fall of the dragon kings, now ancient ancestries of celehim have done much to further the will of the gods of the Lighted Path. Yet each celehim must walk their own path in an age of peace. The celehim hold no seat on the Council of Arkyme.

Celehim Attitudes

The Celehim hold most people at arm's length, feeling separate from this world, but when a celehim's respect is earned they become fierce friends.

Divifiend - "These fell offspring want to bring ruin to the material plane, yet their presence is tolerated by the other races, perhaps they yet fight against their fiendish nature."

Humans - "Our brethren have such great capacity for duality that their lives are a tempest of uncertainty and malaise."

Dwarves - "Steadfast as the mountain, yet the curse they deny within themselves makes them less than whole."

Vaulted Souls

Borne from the power of the Upper Planes, a celehim is a divine presence of the Lighted Path to the mortal realms. A child of promise to pious human parents or a scion of a guarded celehim lineage, the celehim have been the most vaulted of peoples. Prophecy and purpose mark the celehim's place in the world, and they are exhorted to this service. In past ages, the celehim were a rare gift, born leaders and heroes of peoples praying for deliverance. Yet with the passage into the Age of Earth, it is Synstasia that oft commands the celehim. Celehim children are often taken from their parents and will enter into the service of the orders of the Lighted Path. The experience of celehim over their lives are too often that of prey, the darkness of the world seeking to snuff out the light each celehim bears within them. This is nothing to say of the relentless desire of other to either exploit or beg for the innate abilities of the divinely blooded, to cure the ailing, herald prayers, and answer for the gods.

Celestial Investure

The celehim in their divine nature are expressions of the celestial beings that imbued their power into a mortal soul. For those known as Sentinel Celehim, it is the Promethi, the bearers of Achonus' Holy Flame and most supreme of heavenly warriors that arm them to combat the darkness. The Maker Celehim are forged by the Titanum, for they hold the axioms of creation and would have this imparted unto the world. Guide Celehim are suffused with the essence of the wilds, the Animuse, that spirit of animalistic will to survive and propagate that is within all things that Domuq touches. For the Scribe Celehim, they are the inquisitors of the Volumnor, the Word of Litencia made true in all realms, their knowledge is her knowledge. Woe are the Guardian Celehim, as arbiters of death, they are the warm embrace of the ushers of the dead, the Intercessiora made flesh, for it is by their power that Soel's judgement is stayed.

Divine Burden

All celehim are united in their purpose, to serve the will of the Lighted Path on the prime. Yet each and every celehim must struggle alone as any mortal might on how it is they bear this burden, yet there are those that scorn this duty. The corruption of mortality and existence weighs upon the celehim like no other people. Those who choose to use the power granted them to fulfill only their own desires, live not the life appointed them. The celehim that turn away from their nature begin the fall of their divine soul, a darkness yet unseen in all the realms.
