Holy Celestine Empire

The Holy Celestine Empire was founded in the aftermath of the Vernal Wars, when merians built the city of Celest on an island in the middle of the Crystal Sea.

Celest became a political superpower after achieving many historic firsts:

Though they were not the first organized group of warriors, that honor belonging to the Ur'Guard, the Paladins were also formed in Celest after a group of soldiers drank from the Pool of Stars and gained miraculous powers.

Celest's newfound power and stability drew more people to the city than the island could contain. In time, the crowding would lead many to leave to found new cities which became Imperial Protectorates.

The Golden Age of the Holy Celestine Empire would last for 500 years. The empire would end with Project Cosmic Hope.

Government

Celest of old was ruled by an Emperor, likely a hereditary position, along with a body called the Imperial Star Council.
