The Court of Stars and the Celestial Order
As once, the Bronze Sidereals crafted religion to achieve their goals, the Gold Sidereals will do once again. The nations of the Threshold suffer in the wake of the Realms destabilisation and there is room to return the Terrestrial Exalted to their place in the order as the Sidereals see it. The few who are involved in this project do not hate their brethren among the Bronze, merely pity them for being stuck with poor tools.
The Court includes the Seven Celestial Incarnae and their representatives on Creation, the Celestial Exalted, as rulers and protectors of all that is in Creation. Adherents of the Celestial Order preach that the Terrestrial Exalted have lost their way after destroying threats to Creation and should be brought to heel.
The tenets of the faith are:
1. There is no light but the light of Lord Sun. Seek his perfection in all things. 2. There is no mystery but the mystery of Lady Moon. Seek to change in all things. 3. There is no journey unwatched by Lady Mercury. Seek the horizon in all things. 4. There is no rest unwatched by Lady Venus. Seek serenity after all things. 5. There is no conflict unwatched by Lady Mars. Seek challenge in all things. 6. There is no secret unheard by Lady Jupiter. Seek to uncover secrets in all things. 7. There is nothing left by Lady Saturn. Seek your fate.
This seven-fold path are the primary virtues of an adherent to the Celestial Order, they were written to encourage action, contemplation and discovery. These dynamic traits have been determined to be the correct solution to the Realm's fragmentation and eventual destruction under it's own weight.
In it's broadest strokes though, the Celestial Order mimics the Immaculate Philosophy, the essence of "Protect your lessers, Respect your betters" is still the key message. The key difference is that Solar's are depicted as the ones with right to rule, not the Terrestrials.
Other departures from the Immaculate Philosphy are the encouragement to use depictive art, especially of animals and other natural scenes, to help focus the mind on upcoming challenges and how the natural world itself might help provide solutions.
