Order of the Celestial Harmony
Mythology & Lore
The Order follows the primary pantheon of gods, with Chronos as the Father of all Gods, creator of time and the cosmos. His children, Ariana, Goddess of the Fae, and Cryos, Ruler of the Underworld, and their respective offspring, have roles in shaping the world and its various elements. The lower god Alcor, created by Ariana, Eriana and Lucien, is revered as a protector of both the mortal and fae worlds.
Divine Origins
The Order of the Celestial Harmony was founded upon the return of Alcor, marking a new era of enhanced understanding and unity between the mortal and fae realms. The need for a shared faith that reflected their intertwined destinies led to the formation of this Order.
