There, the [[Celestines]] and [[Aquamancers]] consecrated a new [[The Pool of Stars|Pool of Stars]], once again establishing a connection to the Light, and thus arose [[New Celest]] to challenge the darkness. [[Paladins]] were re-established as the Holy Warriors of the Light, charged with protecting the fledgling city. However, the peoples of the [[Basin of Life]] did not flock to New Celest as they did to Celestine Empire of old. Wrongly or rightly, they blamed the Empire for the Taint and the name of 'Celest' still held bitter memories. Nevertheless, New Celest struggled and survived, yearning for the days of old and hoping to see the return of the Empire's former glory. The nexus of power in New Celest is the Pool of Stars, located in the center of the city's hub. It simultaneously exists on the [[Elemental Plane of Water]] and the cosmic plane of [[Celestia]]. | ||

Events during the [[Taint Wars]] culminated with the destruction of the original Pool of Stars, ruining Celest and marking the fall of the Holy Celestine Empire. The shades of those who perished that day still haunt [[Spectre Isle]] in the [[Sea of Despair]]. | Events during the [[Taint Wars]] culminated with the destruction of the original Pool of Stars, ruining Celest and marking the fall of the Holy Celestine Empire.
