[[Category:History]][[Category:Historical Landmarks]] | The city of [[Celest]] was built by the [[merian]]s on an [[Spectre Isle|island]] in the [[Crystal Sea]] in the aftermath of the [[Vernal Wars]]. It acted as the capital city of the [[Holy Celestine Empire]], which spanned the entire [[Basin of Life]] and had many protectorates, including [[Magnagora]], [[Gaudiguch]], and [[Hallifax]]. The [[Aquamancers]] were founded here, and when the [[mage]]s of Celest discovered the [[Cosmic Plane]] of [[Celestia]], the [[Celestines]] were formed to act as its [[guardian]]s. | ||
Together, the Aquamancers and Celestines created the [[Pool of Stars]] - a font of liquid power that could be drawn upon by everyone, regardless of magic or cosmic ability. The Pool was the first artificial [[Nexus of Power]] and to defend it, the Empire formed a legion of [[warrior]]s known as the [[Paladins]]. | |||
Its most notable ruler was [[Emperor Ladantine VII]], who initiated [[Project Cosmic Hope]] and was responsible for unleashing [[the Taint]] upon [[Lusternia]]. When he was corrupted by the taint and became one of the [[undead]], he led an army to battle against his own daughter, [[Princess Marilynth]], for control of the [[Pool of Stars]]. Marilynth used the Pool of Stars to become a [[Vernal God]]dess, and then destroyed the Pool so that her father could not exploit its power. This decision ended the [[Taint Wars]] but decimated the city of Celest, bringing about the downfall of the Empire. | |||
Years later, the city of [[New Celest]] was built to the west of the site of the [[Spectre Isle|original city]], on the shores of the [[Inner Sea]]. | |||
