Celestial Realm Saga Overview

The three Celestial Avatars of Time, Death, and Life are missing. A portal to the Infernal Realm (two realms to the left of the Underworld) has been opened by Chamat, the Queen of Monsters’ talented Lieutenant. Infernal creatures are flooding into the Celestial Realm, and Aranx needs YOUR help to drive the dark beasts out and discover where the Avatars have gone -- if his world falls… Lore will be next!

Battle through a succession of pocket dimensions as you search for the long-lost Lady of the Celestial Realm, Arthelyn. Whoever captured her holds the heart of an entire people in their hands… or claws. Find her, and we save the Realm... for Good!

Make sure you're caught up on the story through /celestialpast. You'll need that lore foundation to begin this week's update in /infernalparadise. Return next week for part 2 of the Celestial Realm Saga finale!
