| Status | Alive |
Description. A half-elf woman in her apparent thirties (actually much older) with silver-white hair, dark brown skin, and eyes that seem to reflect starlight even indoors. She dresses in deep blue robes embroidered with constellations. Celestine is brilliant, obsessive, and increasingly alarmed by the Star Fade. She has been tracking the pattern of dimming stars and believes it corresponds to Orenthas’s final prophecy.
GM Notes
Campaign Role. Information source and quest-giver. Her research into the Star Fade and Orenthas’s prophecy provides key campaign intel.
Roleplay Notes. Speaks quickly, excitedly, forgets that other people don’t have her context. Sketches star-charts on any available surface while talking. Sleeps rarely. Her alarm about the Star Fade is genuine and infectious, she is one of the few people who understands how bad things are about to get.
