Orbis

The Celestial realm, Orbis is the great crystalline city of Raziel, from where does the great king of gods oversees all of creation. Orbis is a large sprawling city spiraling ever inwards as it raises ever upwards into the blinding light of Olysias. The city is divided into 7 great walls, each partitioning the city by its closeness to the top of the spire, where Razial throne is, the closer one is to his great throne the more illustrious city becomes and the purer is the angels, for lesser creatures would die by the sheer proximity to the great king of gods, thus only the strongest of creation can hope to reside close to the top of the spire.

The Lower Spire – The Gardens of Compassion

The outermost fragment of Orbis is often referred to as the Gardens of compassion, and the one place in Orbis which mortals can live, and such many of Raziel’s most faithful followers and mortals of exceptional moral fiber are taken here in the next life. Such men and women are given the Title of Ainar, becoming elevated mortals and granted a sliver of the light of Orbis to become angelic creatures in the image of their lord. The gardens of compassion live up to their name, it is a place of peerless beauty and symmetry. The crystalline trees and quartz flowers shimmer eternally with inner light that stems directly from Olysias, great lakes of luminant blue water flow through its boundless channels and sprawling garden complexes. Interrupted only by the great Achievers, these great bastions contain all the recorded deeds of compassion that mortals commit in their lives, every act of forgiveness and kindness, which the Inhabitants of the lower spire are tasked with recording. The lower spire is the first line of defense against any who would assail heaven, for there is only one entrance into Orbis, and it is through the Quartz gate, a massive fortification manned by the strongest of Vistara.

The Lower Spire – The Crescent of Valor

Elevated above the gardens is the great fortress called the Crescent of Valor, it is the gateway to gain entrance to the middle spire, here do the Vanor reside, the guardian angels of Orbis and the largest of its military forces. The Crescent of Valor is a massive fortress complex, dedicated to untold heroes of ages past, both mortal and immortal like are venerated here for their bravery, their martial prowess, and their sacrifices. For in the Crescent of Valor the angels record every deed of bravery, strength, and defiance ever committed in creation. The Crescent is at times more reminiscent of a church, its grand archways, lofty murals, and statues, only interrupt by arrow slits, bulwarks, and training grounds. The great crescent of valor is carved purely from a celestial iron, its golden surface reflecting the blinding light of Olysias upon its would-be assailants and reminding all below it of the might of heaven. The Sprawling towers and archways creating an imposing sight, not only for its immense walls but the sheer scale of that which lays beyond it.

The middle spire –Libraries of Fate

Also referred to as the endless halls, it is the home of god Oktavi and where the sum total of all knowledge known to be mortals are kept. In these vast halls are all truths and lies spoken by mortals kept and weighed against each other, to judge if they have impeded or helped the growth of knowledge. The archives are great monuments to scholars from across all time, constantly being built upon, creating great and sprawling archival towers. As such the high peaks contain what knowledge has been recently discovered by mortals with the deeper recesses being dedicated to ancient knowledge and well-established fact, with some sections and the deepest depths being sealed off as lost knowledge, with all those who contributed to its loss being vilified in great murals, damning their souls.

The middle spire – Court of Justice

The Celestial Court, The Courts of heaven, it has many names, but ultimately it is the highest authority on moral in heaven, here do the judicators oversee the judging of mortal Souls alongside Harkon, judging whether the soul rightfully belongs to that of the gods, or to the denizens of hell. The Court of justice is structured into three great courts in the likeness of Harkon’s decision, though most of its judges care little mortal morality, instead of judging from a standpoint of absolute mortality, there can be no relativistic standpoints, only the law as given by Raziel. The Courts are three great floating edifices centered around the great well of Estilbus, connecting all of the realms via the well Estilbus oversees who may come and go, for here all creatures that follow the law may represent their case in the Courts of justice, thus it is not uncommon to see all manner of strange dimensional beings coming to claim ownership of the souls of mortals.

The high Spire - Halls of Dominion

At the top of the spire resides the great halls of dominion it’s great chambers houses Raziel chosen Dominions, the endless halls and chambers lead directly to the eternal light of Olysias and at its loft resides the great heart stone absorbing the great rays of Olysais and casting them down upon the rest of the spire at which it resides at the top of.
The Halls are divided into four sections each commanded by one of the four dominions who oversee heaven, though they are not its absolute leaders, for though the dominions oversee heaven and are its military commanders, they are kept in check by the court of heaven.
