The first diviner seemed to truly believe that the Demon's Eye could grant power to it's followers.

Your idea here seems really creative. I am left wondering if the Celestial Diviner is a person, a group of people, or some sort of creature? Your drawing looks like the Celestial Diviner is a dragon, perhaps? I'm no one to give advice or instructions, but I'd love to see a more complete description of the Celestial Diviner and for you to flesh out Varitinera. It looks like you have some creative ideas!

Your right in that it's not really complete. To clarify the celestial diviner is a title and could be held by any species capable of fulfilling the roll. The current one is a creaviae who I haven't made an article for yet.
