Sometimes referred to as the heavens or the angelic realms, Celestia is not one specific world, but a vast collection of worlds embodying law, strength, and divine providence, protected by beneficent angels and demigods who rule with justice and mercy. The total number of celestial worlds (commonly called realms) is believed to number between seven and seventy-seven. The lesser of these realms are ephemeral demesnes that greater angels literally carry with them through the Labyrinth—which makes them
particularly difficult to tally. To enter the realms of Celestia, one must traverse a crystal highway hidden within the Labyrinth and walk its sunlit paths before finally passing through the Celestial Arch—a massive structure that burns away void corruption. The golden portals to the angelic realms lie beyond the arch.

Like the hell worlds, the realms of Celestia depend on their immortal rulers to keep them secure and organized. The most famous worlds include the Clockwork Heaven of Rava and its seneschal Hala’ath (see Tome of Beasts 3); the Shining Heaven of Solana; and the Lesser Heaven of the Archangel Iilar’jil (see Tome of Beasts 3), the angel called the Fire of Forgotten Hope, which moves as a beacon through the Labyrinth.
