LUNIA

The first layer of Mount Celestia is the most accessible. Lunia is known as the Silver Heaven, and this is where portals and gates from outside the plane lead travelers before they can ascend to higher layers. The sky is midnight blue but dotted with bright twinkling stars, and the lantern archons believe each star is actually a soul that has ascended to the highest peak of the Seven Heavens.

Lunia is unique among the layers of Mount Celestia for several reasons. It is largely made up of a vast wine-dark gulf known as the Silver Sea, through which swim all manner of creatures, celestial and mundane. The waters are naturally blessed and from them rise numerous pillars of natural alabaster stone. Countless creatures have built strongholds and citadels upon these stone pillars, though the most famous are the Beacon Towers, occupied by lantern archons on the lookout for invasion forces from the Lower Planes.

Beyond the shore of the Silver Sea, Lunia’s terrain is more hills and shallow valleys than rough peaks like the higher layers. The stars overhead bathe Lunia in glorious starlight so the darkness is never a bother, and everything is well-lit.
