Celestials

Celestial societies make up most of the inhabitable Outside realms. Such societies are sometimes remembered in human myths of gods and heros from Pantheons. Celestials are characterized by their dedication to different virtues and abstract concepts. While Celestial Outsiders may respect the flora and fauna of different realms, they also tend to cultivate realms to fit their ideals.

Celestials believe that this tendency towards cultivation and "higher" principles sets them appart and elevates them above the Primordial societies that they have conquered. Chaoskamf, the idea of conflict between Celestials and Primordials, is ubiquitous in Celestial cultures and probably predates even Outsider history. Probably the most notable Chaoskamf was the Titanomachy in which several Celestial Pantheons were founded upon the systematic subjugation of the Titans.

Despite the fact that many Celestial races are directly descended from Primoridals, there does seem to be detectible distinction in their manifestations. This is unusual because while most Celestials have some Primordial ancestry, very few Celestial clans are directly related to one another. This might suggest that Celestial tendencies exist latent within many Primordial creatures.
