Now, one has to wonder how the Astrals chose who was the more powerful of them. It is known well throughout the world of Eos that Bahamut is the most powerful of the Six. Yet, I should think most are of equal in power. Not equal in a sense the skills are the same, no, equal that they each hold a power only they use. They are equal in their own rights.

Take Ramuh for example. He brings the storms, the cycle of rain that is a much-needed cycle for life to continue. Yet, his storms are what also transform the landscape if he is within mind should the power his storms can tear through. Can Bahamut do this? No, for that is not his powers purpose. Or say, Titan. He creates the mountains, the cliffs, the great flatlands. Ramuh may rip into the lands via his storms, but it is scratches like that of scrapes to the skin that heal over time till nothing shows. Sometimes not even scars are left from such force. No that is left to the Titan to do as that is his power in transforming the earth.

The messengers for instance, I can see as they are lesser. Being they take forms of creatures and maybe if they felt the need to take a form of us when on our plane of existence. As the name suggests, they are the beings given tasks by the Six for the much smaller size than that of the giant figures we worship even in their silence. Be that they deliver words to and from the Oracle of the time or simply keeping watch over the proceedings of humankind while the Six slumber.

That brings me to a section that I have recently become fascinated with since the discovery of this statue, now being named Siblings of the Flame. I have only just found my way into the nation of Stella Lux as it has one way into this land. A peaceful place with an outstanding mountain range surrounding the lands edging with long since latent volcanoes. Unlike that of the lands I have traveled to of the Luci, Neflheim, and Tenebrae. Stella Lux is a nation that is nearly as old as Solheim. The age of this nation could be known for the main Astral they praise upon. There is written word about this Astral as seen throughout the other nations, but I have found it limited, no scarce more like it, to find any mention of this Goddess.

The most knowledge is seen in Solheim. That being because she was the sibling to the Infernien and had been there to present the knowledge of fire with him. She is mentioned to be a rare sight within the society only showing in what little art has survived to always be at the side of her brother, Ifrit, yet was just as cherished. As stated earlier, it was a recent discovery made in the form of a statue of the two Astral siblings. She with her duel pair of wings, him with his great head of branching horns with depiction of flames licking along their bodies and that of feathers floating around the two.

When this had first appeared from a dig site many did not know of who this Astral was. Having known of the Infernien's love to the Glacian and having seen many depictions of the Goddess we could rule this new figure was not her. So, many feverishly began a search into who this Astral could be, myself included. With written word for who she was being rare it was a blessing to have found bits to come to light and piece together.

They call her the Goddess of Rebirth. Lifebringer. Most importantly she is named Phoenix, the Seraphim, gentle as starlight.

For now, that is all I have to write. Till I have fully toured this land nation of Stella Lux and found all that could be found about this Astral I will not have much else to write about.
