For millennia, the Celestiad Royalis, the oppressive and vainglorious oligarchy comprising the thirteen most powerful and ancient realms, have reigned absolute above all worlds and people within the Celestrial Realms galaxy.
But now, amidst the interstellar empire’s persistent and petty in-fighting, rising voices expressing new, aberrant and peculiar ideas of independence have begun to emerge; fragile ideas that may rend the very foundations of the Celestrial Realms and slowly push an uncertain and restless galaxy into chaos.
Meanwhile, other far more ancient and sinister ambitions, greedy for power, lurk hidden and in secret. A dark, supernatural presence looms across the realms, biding its influence as it stalks the worlds.
However not to rule. Nor to subjugate, but to burn and bring all to ruin.
CELESTRIAL REALMS: LAND & SKY is set in a critical period within the Celestrial Realms timeline. After thousands of years of the galaxy's gradual but steady conversion into dystopian law, a single, solitary idea seeks to change the course of history for an entire galaxy.
The saga follows four central story arcs.
The first chronicles the calculated, political intrigue between Realm's Libertina of Eudosis, Amphion of Hesperia, Dor of Prymus, Arvalis of Gallinon and Gallax of Eos. These four realms have risen to become the upper echelon of the galactic oligarchy and now vie for hegemony over one another. Each will venture to great and terrible lengths to become the Gold Crown: the absolute sovereign of the Empire.
On Xenus, Avinash Ram, the young 'Slave Prince' and Adedokun warrior whose birthright as a potential heir of the vaunted and fabled Realm Padraigin signals a promise of hope among the oppressed Retainer class of interstellar society. Ram’s journey will see him confront the privileges of inheritance and the price of responsibility.
Elsewhere, on her homeworld of Xenosis, the newly crowned empress to Realm Celestine, Sancia Celestine, having been marked for death by a handful of rivals seeking to stake their claim to the throne, strives to bolster and recapture her world's lost economic power, societal prestige and political influence.
And on Kairos, the young Kasinda Yabulani weds Daigin Chieftain Jalil Bludhand becoming Queen to the nomadic Dakarai race. Their enraptured union heralds a propitious, new era of prosperity and progress. However, hidden within their vows of devotion lurks a deadly, mortal secret that if discovered might doom a people or shatter a new world.
The stage is set and the die is cast as these ensemble characters will challenge the path of immutable destiny and reshape the embodiment of the Celestrial Realms, both land and sky.
All created things have a beginning. While that beginning may be lost in the annals of the past, remnants of that bygone age yet remain. Learn the facts, legends, fables, truths and many secrets that move to reveal the present and inform on the things to come.
Meet the heroes, villains and the rest in this epic tale of betrayal and brotherhood, loss and love, despair and redemption, darkness and hope. Driven by external and internal forces, deep rooted convictions will be tested amidst the inexorable march of change.
From the sprawling metropolises of Eos to the silver deserts of Sunia and the palatial citadels of Imperia, explore the many realms, worlds, and the exotic cultures and societies that shape the sprawling, living galaxy.
Celestrial Realms is an epic, star-spanning space opera set in a massive, distant, and solitary galaxy that lies beyond our observable universe. The title, "Celestrial Realms", is a portmanteau of the words ‘Celestial’ and ‘Terrestrial' meaning "The Realms of the worlds in the heavens". The eponymous Celestrial Realms is the singular collective of dynasties (or houses), regions, worlds, states, and/or territories scattered throughout the galaxy. A 'realm' can refer to any of the aforementioned entities.
The lore of Celestrial Realms spans hundreds of thousands of years. It is a lore intricately interconnected, but maintains unique individual aspects and elements. The whole of the galaxy is rooted in a shared history that has diverged into many disparate regional histories, traditions and myths. This divergence has allowed for widely distinct cultures and societies to develop throughout the galaxy ranging from regal monarchies to industrial metropolises to barbaric tribalism.
Amidst these varied societies and their individual histories, however, remains a prevailing myth that has persisted throughout all of the Realms unifying religions across the cosmos. Called by many names, it is a myth predicated on ancient powers, benevolent and sinister. These supposed constructs of faith are concealed in good and in despair, in hope and darkness, in light and chaos; underlying a truth lost in mercurial stories of the distant past.
In light of this, Celestrial Realms is science fiction bisected by magic and mystery. Technologically advanced military offensives stymied by near-omnipotent mystical warriors or ageless, deathless beings in command of vast interstellar armadas are some examples that paints the 'starscape' of the Celestrial Realms.
And yet at its core, Celestrial Realms is a mythology about characters: ambitious people who define and are defined by history, humble individuals marked by unique fortune and arcane prophesy, and transcendent beings in command of power both wondrous and terrible.
These and so much more lies in heart of the Celestrial Realms series and what awaits you.
The 'world' of Celestrial Realms plays on themes and elements where both Space Opera and Fantasy intersect. Royalty and nobility, exploration and discovery, chivalry and megalomania, mysticism blended with advancing technology.
The Celestrial Realms mythology spans hundreds of generations, beginning from the very creation of the galaxy to its unforeseeable end. Each generation connects with the generation before and continuing on to the next - producing a boundless tapestry of long-form storytelling.
Power, passion, and the limits of loyalty are tested as sacrifice and courage are demanded by all in this fast-paced tale filled with dramatic turns and unexpected twists enthralling each episode to it's spectacular end.
