the Celestian Highs
The Celestian Highs is to Heaven or the Afterlife in our culture. It is where Averus and the 12 higher beings, or gods, live together with the departed souls that have lived a good enough life to grant them peace. If a soul is more or less neutral, not good enough to live on in the CH but not bad enough to be sent down to the BotMCW, Averus reincarnates the soul to try again.
Only souls are able to live here, and any physical body is rejected.
Amongst the preists in the Other World, there is a technique that lets them separate their souls from their bodies, visit the CH, and return back to the OW — but it is a technique that only masters of their religion have learned to use.
Neko and Charlemagne also lived there before, but were banished from the Celestian Highs after disrupting the balance between good and evil in the Miniverse.
The Twelve Higher Beings[]
Averus and his 12 holy bbys, not including Charlemagne and Neko
The Twelve Higher Beings are split down the middle, with six being “good” and representing Order with the other six “bad” and representing Chaos. They exist in the Miniverse to keep balance.
The ex-gods Neko and Charlemagne were both on the Chaotic side but were replaced with Pestel and Vila.
Interesting facts[]
- Each of the Higher Beings have hair past their waists or lower, so it is a religious practice of the priests and priestesses to not cut their hair.
- The Higher beings also have a set of wings. If a god is kicked out of their circle, the hair is cut short and a bodily mutilation occurs, usually being ripping off one or both of the wings.
