D&D 5E (2024) An idea for a new Paragon Celestial Species for Arborea.

[Henadic Theologian]

The Divinus.
the Divinus would be broken down into subtypes like Demons, Guardinals, Archons, Devils, Daemons, Modrons, Slaadi, Rilmani, etc...
You would have Muses, a halo of musical notes or poems.
You would have the Kharites (skin like marble with hair of spun gold and eyes like polished gemstones with inner light and an aura with a aura halo, the spiritual kind, not the cheesy hollywood looking kind that looks like a gold donut). Rivals to Succubi.
You would have the Erotes (white wings, but with skin like marble and hair of spun platinum). Focus more on Piety, divine love, unlike the Kharites greater focus on material love/lust/beauty/art.
and finally you would have the Oneiroi, black wings, skin & hair like the nights sky.

just the start. This was inspired by the fact that in some myths there are actually multiple generations of these beings. Like the Kharites you have the 3 traditional Kharites, but you also have their daughters, the younger Kharites and there are alot more of those.

thought? Its a work in progress.

A few questions:

1. What is your goal? Why do you need a new paragon celestial from Aborea?
2. What is the role of these new celetials?
3. Are Demons, Guardinals, Archons, Devils, Daemons, Modrons, Slaadi, Rilmani types of Divinus or are you saying Divini have types just like Demons, Guardinals, Archons, Devils, Daemons, Modrons, Slaadi, Rilmani?
4. Are you set on the name Divinus? It seems a bit lackluster IMO.
5. What is the hierarchy? Muses > Kharites > Erotes ?

I had a writeup of muses as the chaotic good replacements for celestial eladrin (with the nine classical muses being different "species" of muse), maybe I should post that sometime

1. My goal is the deal with the gap left by Eldarin getting changed into Fey left in the line up with something more unique then just Celestial elves, but in a way that fits Arborea thematically still.

2. To promote and defend Freedom, Creativity, Dreams and Passion.

3. No the other Planar Paragon Species are not Divinus, Divinus are a new Chaotic Good species with subtypes (simular how Demons have Shadow Demons, Balors, Maraliths, Quasits, etc...) for Arborea to replace the now Fey Eldarin.

4. Well I was first inclined to call them Daimons, but that sounds too much like Demons & Daemons, and then I considered Latin Genius, but that means something different in English, then I considered Numen but I wasn't sure that made sense, so I settled on Divinus, ( means of the Gods I think), which felt fitting. I'm open to suggestions.

5. For the hierarchy its not completely decided, might move Muse higher, not sure, and each of the subtypes might be ruled by Elder Forms of their kind, so like the kharites would be ruled by the 3 Elder Kharites. Give its Chaotic Good maybe the hierarchy should ve less rigid between the different subtypes.

Thoughts and suggestions?
