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.

Cosmological Views

The universe, according to the Harmonists, is a cosmic dance directed by Chronos, with every celestial being playing a significant role. The mortal and fae realms are but stages in this grand theatre, reflecting the balance and harmony inherent in the cosmos.

Tenets of Faith

The Balance of the Cosmos: Harmonists believe in maintaining a balanced relationship with nature, society, and self.
Unity of Realms: Recognizing the interconnectedness of the mortal and fae realms, the faith promotes unity and mutual respect.
Guided by the Celestials: Each believer may find guidance and protection under the celestial being that resonates most with their life's path.

Ethics

The faith promotes harmony, understanding, balance, and respect for all beings. It encourages followers to seek knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment, while also advocating for peace and unity.

Worship

Followers engage in daily meditation and weekly congregations at Temples of Harmony. Festivals commemorating celestial events are celebrated, with the return of Alcor being the most important.

Priesthood

Priests, known as Celestial Guides, are chosen based on their wisdom and understanding of both mortal and fae realms. They undergo rigorous training in the lore of celestial beings and serve as spiritual guides for the followers.

Political Influence & Intrigue

Given the Order's integral role in society, it holds significant influence in political affairs. They often act as mediators, ensuring that actions align with the faith's principle of balance and harmony.

Sects

While unity is emphasized, several sects exist, each focusing on different celestial beings and their teachings. The major sects include the Time-Keepers (Chronos), the Fae-kin (Ariana), and the Frostbound (Cryos). Despite their different focuses, all sects believe in the overarching principles of balance and harmony.
