It is said that Celestian and Fharlanghn (q.v.) are brothers who followed similar, but different, paths.
While the latter chose the distances of the world, Celestian was drawn to the endless reaches of the stars and the Astral Plane.
The Star Wanderer appears as a tall, lean man of middle years. His skin is of ebony hue and smooth.
His eyes are of the same color as his skin. He is quick and absolutely silent in his movements. He speaks but seldom. His garments are of deep black, but somewhere he will have his symbol, seven "stars" — diamond, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, topaz, jacinth, ruby — blazing with the colors of far suns.
Celestian's habits and disposition usually keep him from close association and involvement with other gods. He has, in fact, but a small following amongst mankind. Those who involve themselves with the cosmos or the sky — scholars, astronomers, astrologers, navigators, dreamers — make up the bulk of the Celestian faithful. His priests wander the land, emulating their deity whenever possible by actually traveling the reaches of space.
There are seven orders of the priesthood of Celestian. Those clerics are divided as follows:
Service and worship are always conducted in the open, during the night, preferably when the sky is clear and many stars are visible.
