Malagan, the Celestial Character in The Age of Calamitous | World Anvil

Malagan, the Celestial

A spiritual entity that presumably appears at night during the full moon. The mythical beast is said to be associated with nature itself. He is depicted as a white stag with gleaming teal eyes.  

Burial Customs

Upon death, funeral pyres are built to cleanse the body of the fallen. The face will be painted with teal-colored markings to allow the soul safe passage. The body will also be dressed in white clothes to indicate the purity in which they will ascend. Attendees of the ceremony will be dressed in white attires with teal trims, which represents Malagan. Once a soul leaves the body, Malagan will guide it to the Euphoric Meadows. The ceremony is about celebrating the life of the fallen so that they may ascend in good spirit.

Marriage Ceremony

The ceremony shall take place during a full moon, in which the spirit of Malagan will seal the bond between the two. The mother will walk the bride to the groom, giving away her ties to her daughter. At this point, the family of the bride will no longer be considered her family. The allegiance shall only be with the groom’s blood related family. The ceremony shall be be performed by a temple cleric who will read through the scripture for the bond of marriage. Upon completion, the father from both families will need to accept the arrangement for the marriage ceremony to be fulfilled.

Relationship Ideals

After the wedding ceremony is completed, the souls will be bound to each other in the spirit of Malagan for this life and the Euphoric Meadows. Breaking this sacred bond will prevent the soul from traveling to the Meadows.

Divine Domains

Ancient temples have been built around the deep forests of the world in dedication of the great deity. His worshippers are thought to preserve the environment and guide the path to the Euphoric Meadows.
