Celestia

Celestia (also known as The Heavens, and Mount Celestia) is the pinnacle of Lawful Goodness. The Heavens are dedicated to goodness shaped by law and justice tempered with mercy.

Celestia is interpreted as a magicial realm where angels live, ruled over by The Mighty Oloruna (also known as Olodumare, Ruler of the Heavens, Supreme Queen of the Gods).
The Mighty Oloruna was picked by Moatama (the Creation; the Creator) to rule all of Celetria and guide creatures younger than Dragons and Giants, in the Moata Solar System.

Celestia lies nearby to Machanus: Plane of The Great Wheel.

Celestia is the ultimate in law and good. All aspects of Celestia are beautiful and levels of perfection; it is where the souls of many creatures of lawful good alignment went to after death. Celestia is home to numerous celestial creatures; including various types of angels.

As an outer plane of the Moata Solar System, Celestia is spatially infinite and consists of seven infinite layers (or sub-planes). The seven individual layers formed a colossal mountain that rises from an infinite sea of holy water on the bottommost layer, to the summit on the topmost layer.

Ascending the mountain is analogous to travelling through subsequently higher or 'steeper' layers to the top. Each of the seven layers contains at least one mountain or high structure rising into the sky, and most have whole mountain ranges.
The barriers between the seven layers are arranged such that entrances are at the lowest geographical points and exits are at the highest, so a travellers enter the first layer at the base of a mountain (actually, in the surf of the ocean surrounding the mountain) and has to climb to the peak to reach the next layer. The sky of each layer has its own hue which softly baths everything in gentle shades of luminance.

DURMA

On the first layer of Celestia, Lunia, is a small regal hamlet of Amicis, in the area known more recently as Durma. These 'holiday homes' are where the members of the Durma Patheon gather.

PEACEFUL PALACE

Sune and The Raven Queen share a residence in Celestia known as The Palace of The Peaceful.
The Peaceful Palace is located on the 3rd layer of Celestia in Venya - Calment, the eldest angel resides.

The Platinum Dragon is reported to have special locations in numerous levels: Lunia, Mercuria, Venya, and Solania - as well as in The Plane of Air. Whether these are separate locations or one linked 'realm' that moves about, or possibly spanning several layers at once is still a matter of much speculation.

Localized Phenomena

Angels are everywhere in Celestia.
They are not born, they are created. Most of the angels arrogantly consider themselves far better than the Humaniods on the two inhabitable palnets - Esau and Lyre - mainly because they are immortal and so beautiful.
Each angels is given a domain to assist the deities and other immortal beings.

History

As Celestia was more influenced by the Durma Pantheon, the angels became less humble replacing it with greater pride, fortitude, competiveness and sense of justice.

Zariel's transformation to an Archdevil during the brutish Warlock Wars ( and also the start of endless The Blood War between Demons and Devils in The Hells).

During The Warlock Wars, many deities, Archangels, Archdevils and other immortal creatures took the timing to increase their inflluence on the humaniods of Esau. One of the quickest ways is to influence moarning parents and fearful children; tricking them into taking on a patron.
