Celestials

The Celestials are a group of one hundred demigods who are under the control of the greater Gods. They have a more direct influence on the lives of those living in Plethira. One of their number, Zaxithu, escaped into Plethira itself and remained in hiding, later nicknamed the Dark God. His strength grew as he devoured countless souls, eventually culminating in his reveal during the First Cataclysm. However, he was defeated by the Flamesword, gifted to man by the Eldar, and the Gods were not forced to intervene.
