Celexei

God of Black Magic and Summoning

"Only through chaos can new possibilities be unlocked."   Celexei, the Lost Vassal of Elasarius, is a formidable and enigmatic infernal deity who holds dominion over black magic, summoning, necromancy, and unrestrained power. Born from the fusion of Elasarius' essence and the essence of a black dragon, the origins of Celexei are shrouded in mystery and subject to scholarly debates. The nature of their creation, whether through a literal union or a powerful magical infusion, remains a topic of speculation among sages and mystics.   In appearance, Celexei cuts a striking figure, draped in arcane robes of gold, red, black, and indigo. Their unique physique is a testament to their divided existence, with their skin split down the middle—one side gleaming with a golden hue, representing their celestial heritage, and the other adorned in a deep, mesmerizing blue, reflecting their draconic lineage. Wavy locks of white hair cascade around their face, lending an aura of otherworldly elegance and intensity.   Celexei's essence embodies chaos, rebellion, and a relentless pursuit of personal power. They are driven by a profound desire to liberate mortals from the shackles of societal constraints and conventional norms. As the patron of those who crave unrestrained ambition and wish to bend the rules of reality, Celexei seeks out mortals and champions who are unafraid to delve into forbidden knowledge, challenge established laws, and grasp at power with unwavering determination.   Within their realm, the Clockwork City, which exists as a pocket dimension within the vast expanse of Elasarius' Seventy Thousand Planes, Celexei diligently crafts their infernal creations. Mixing the artistry of dark magic with the ingenuity of intricate clockwork constructs, the Clockwork City stands as a testament to Celexei's ingenuity and twisted creativity. It is a place of pulsating energy, where arcane machinery whirrs and ethereal flames dance in a captivating display of power and artistry.   Celexei's chaotic nature and relentless pursuit of personal ambition make them both a feared and respected figure within the infernal pantheon. Their allure lies in offering mortals the forbidden fruit of unlimited power and the freedom to manifest their deepest desires, regardless of societal norms or moral constraints. As such, their influence draws both fervent devotees and those who seek to exploit the raw energies of the dark arts.

History

In mythic times, Elasarius was the spark that created Celexei. According to legend, Elasarius conceived of Celexei through a dragon. It is unknown if he was the direct offspring of Elasarius himself or if he simply willed Celexei into existence by the dragon. Elasarius treated Celexei more as a project than his offspring, creating him for the purpose of experimenting with another semi-divine life form as the other gods didn't want to leave themselves to the whims of Elasarius.   Over time, Celexei proved rebellious and difficult due to his draconic heritage. Elasarius gave up and cast him away. Celexei would come to join the Infernal Order, becoming the source of necromancy and black magic as the rival of Elasarius.
