Celestials
Celestials are a group of species from the Caelestia ancestry and primarily originate from the Plane of the Heavens. Creatures of the Caelestia ancestry can be recognised by their radiant, otherworldly appearances, their affinity for Divine Magic and their associated or connection to Divinity. Is theorised that the Caelestia ancestry also includes the Gods.
Almost all Celestial species are immortals, ranging from Lesser Idols to Quasi-Deities. They are also usually innately bound to the Plane of the Heavens. Aasimar are the only Mortal species of Celestial, and are therefore exempt from a majority of the Celestials shared characteristics.
