Mount Celestia (/maʊnt sɛl-ɛs-ti-eɪ/ m-OU-nt cell-es-ti-a)

The Seven Heavens of Mount Celestia, also called the Seven Mountains of Goodness and Law, Seven Mounting Heavens of Celestia or Seven Heavens, was the pinnacle of lawful goodness. The Seven Heavens were dedicated to goodness shaped by law and justice tempered with mercy.
The plane was dedicated to self-improvement and self-perfection in ascending the mountains. The inhabitants did not care for who arrived at the plane, just that they sought to improve themselves. If a fiend landed in this plane, they would not be attacked on sight, instead, they would be left to their devices until found guilty, upon which they would face the fury of one of the strongest armies in existence.

A cutter who comes to Mount Celestia for easy answers to his troubles is, well... He's clueless. Good and law may be lots of things, but they ain't easy.

— Wanderer of the Planes

The seven individual layers of the plane formed a colossal mountain that rose from an infinite sea of holy water on the bottommost layer, to the summit on the topmost layer. Ascending the mountain was analogous to travelling through subsequently higher or 'deeper' layers to the top. Each of the seven layers contained at least one mountain or high structure rising into the sky, and most had whole mountain ranges. The barriers between the seven layers were arranged such that entrances were at the lowest geographical points and exits were at the highest, so a traveler from the Astral Sea would enter the first layer in the sea surrounding the mountain and had to climb to the peak to reach the next layer, only to emerge at the nadir again. The sky of each layer had its own hue which softly bathed everything in gentle shades of luminance.

Layers

Lunia - Silver Heaven

Known as the Silver Heaven, Lunia was the first layer travelers encountered. The sky of Lunia was a nighttime sky filled with stars that illuminated the layer with a silver glow. The color pools of the Astral Sea would deposit visitors in the surf of a vast ocean, the Silver Sea, full of clean, fresh water that had the properties of holy water. The adjacent beach belonged to an island with a majestic mountain decorated with grand citadels made from polished white stone. The sky above Lunia was perpetually dark, filled with beautiful constellations of silver stars bright enough to illuminate the base of the mountain.

Mercuria - Golden Heaven

The second layer, Mercuria was known as the Golden Heaven because a warm golden light suffused everywhere. Gentle hills and lush green valleys comprised this layer, which was also dotted with small settlements of archons and other good-aligned beings. Mercuria was known for its great tombs and monuments to noble fighters and paladins resting on the layer.

Venya - Pearly Heaven

The third heaven, also called the Pearly Heaven, or Heaven of Pearls, was a lush and verdant land with crops, meadows, moors, hills, and rolling countryside all bathed in the soft glow from a sky reminiscent of the luster of white pearls. It was somewhat colder than the previous two layers, its slopes often seen covered with a gentle layer of snow. Peaceful brooks and carefully terraced fields were common on Venya.

Solania - Electrum Heaven

Solania, the fourth layer, had a sky that glowed like burnished silver and was called the Electrum Heaven, or sometimes the Crystal Heaven. Its valleys were enveloped in mist, fog, and strange scents. The peaks were home to numerous holy shrines, including monasteries and magnificent cathedrals controlled by demigods. Many of the slopes were rich in precious ores and minerals and were mined by populations of dwarves that resided there. Many pilgrims came questing to the roof of this layer in the hopes of finding answers to life's persistent questions.

Mertion - Platinum Heaven

With a sky not too different from Solania's, the fifth layer was known as the Platinum Heaven. Vast plains and savannas served as the mustering ground for paladins and other lawful good servants. Instead of mountains, Mertion had majestic citadels and huge black spherical domes dotting the plains. Access to the next higher layer was found at the tops of the domes.

Jovar - Glittering Heaven

The sixth layer, Jovar, was known as the Glittering Heaven or the Heaven of Gems. Its hills were studded with precious gemstones that glittered in the light. This layer was actually a vault-lined floor to ceiling with huge rubies and garnets that gave off a glow like a hearth fire.

Chronias - Illuminated Heaven

The topmost and final layer of Celestia, Chronias was called the Illuminated Heaven. Little was known of its structure because nothing was ever recorded by the few who had visited and returned. The legends said that Chronias was so good and lawful that it glowed of its own accord and any who entered had all evil and neutrality burned out of them, leaving them inherently good if they survived.

Inhabitants

The archons were the native and most numerous inhabitants of the Seven Heavens, cheerfully going about the business of serving the Higher Powers. Often confused with Aasimon, archons may be celestials but are not servants of any gods, inversely to the Aasimon (also known as angels).
Additionally, living in the holy waters surrounding the mountains is a race of aquatic humanoids called the Zoveri, who serve as helpers of those that arrive on the plane.
Collectively, the inhabitants of Celestia were called "Celestians".
