The Celestials

The Celestials are a trio of godlike characters from the Forlorn Series.

Concept
Eck developed the concept of the celestials mainly from his relationship with Victoria Carvelli, a long time love interest and a highly influential figure in Eck's life. He established her as the first celestial, Senalda, due to their relationship at the time. She was noted as having a presence like the wind in Eck's own life, appearing from time to time and then vanishing just as quickly. He then created the other two, Cecilia and Irieth, from other women who were influential in his life. The Celestials are the champions of the gods, standing for Truth, Doubt, and Fate.

Lore
The Celestials were created by the gods in response to the demon god, Gemwrithe, wreaking havoc on the plane of the living. Since the gods could not combat Gemwrithe directly, they decided to create two champions, one serving one group of the six, one serving the other. However, a third came into creation, creating a deeper rift between the two sides, since both believed it to be a creation of the other. Regadless, the celestials were accepted as the god's voice on the plane of the living, and managed to seal away Gemwrithe. Each of the celestials takes a different approach to their behavior and their interaction with humanity. To learn more about the celestials as seperate figures, see their individual pages.
