The Celestial Accord
Prime Deities of Eldareth
The Celestial Accord is the collective name for Eldareth’s Prime Deities, whose powers encompass time, space, light, twilight, nature, the passage of souls, and fate.
Their names and traditions vary between cultures, though the same seven deities are recognized across much of Eldareth. The Accord also refers to the pact between them, through which each accepted responsibility for the forces placed under their care and for preserving the order established between them.
The Accord is represented by a white seven-pointed star surrounded by seven smaller stars. The seven outer stars represent the Prime Deities, while the central star represents the Accord itself and the bond shared between them.
The complete symbol is used when the Prime Deities are honored collectively. Individual faiths use their own symbols and iconography.
