Human wizards and sages suspect a more intimate connection between the Elves, their ancestors the Eldar, their Avatar godlings and the stars of the Celestial Sea above. In modern mystical thought, the Celestial Sea is termed "the Astral Plane", and is theorized to be the metaphysical gathering place of all mortal thoughts and wants. Abstract concepts and concrete desires are given essence on the Astral Plane. Essences which are in the minds of a multitude of humans, elves and dwarves are stronger. In turn, these strong essences may give power in the material world of Aedes.
Continuing this line of thought, the Avatars that reside in the Astral Plane may be sentient pools of these essences, confluences of desires and thoughts so strong, that they have become self aware. The power of an Avatar is thus directly tied to belief and their power in the world. It is this fact, that explains the creation of clerics by the Avatars.
When the inhabitants of the Sovereignty look up at the stars, they see the lights which, according to Church doctrine, are guiding lights of Phaeton. Only a handful of the wise are aware of the true nature of the Celestial Sea, and the power with which it contains chaos, monsters and the ancient evil that is the Mother of Monsters.
