Colour: Blue

Magic Rune: Azyr - the Comet of Power

Celestial energy is very light and quickly dissipates high up into the heavens where it forms a backdrop of drifting blue cloud. This layer of blue magic distorts the view of the stars in a variety of different ways.

The exact nature of this distortion depends upon the strengths and subtle inclinations of the winds of magic. As the winds blow from the immaterial realms where time has no meaning, it is possible to predict important events by the precise manner in which stars and planets are distorted through the blue magic haze. Hence Celestial Wizards spend much of their time stargazing and recording the astral conjunctions to foretell the future.

The buildings of the Celestial College are the tallest in Altdorf and their many-fingered towers are topped by intricate glass domes from which the wizards can observe the skies. In battle Celestial Wizards command the power of the heavens, calling down lightning and savage winds against their foes, in addition to casting portents and divinations to aid their own forces.

Celestial Wizards dress in blue robes adorned with stars, crescent moons and the symbol of the comet, and wear skull caps. In keeping with their interest in the heavens Celestial wizards often carry telescopes, astrolabes and other stargazing instruments.
