History
Not much is known about the celestials and how they came to be. When the Great Cataclysm brought the many realms of existence into being, the celestials came to inhabit the higher planes. They serve as guardians between the mortal realm and the magical realms beyond. Those worlds being the Feywild, Shadwofells, Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Nidavelir, and Avalon. They guard and keep these realms in balance, and sometimes serve the gods of these realms as messengers, or instruments of their will.
After the many races took to the mortal realm, ten celestials rebelled against the Archons and gathered others to their side. A great war ensued in the heavens and these celestials were cast out. These ten celestials that led the rebellion became known as the Ten Demon Kings and all others cast out with them became demons. From that moment forward, celestials have been at war with demons and will not stop until their kind has been eradicated from all existence.
