Celestial Baphomet
Celestial Baphomet is a goddess of beasts, pleasure, moons and stars. Some the names she is known by include "the horned one", "the sun", “the princess of beasts” and "the goddess of love". She is a relatively young goddess and the former Core Demon of the 600th layer of the Abyss that is said to have been forcibly apotheosised in the Year of Great Accord. While it is universally acknowledged that she still dwells in the Chaotic Planes, it is a matter of great debate among scholars as to whether she still dwells in the Abyss or if her domain was "shunted" into Elysium or perhaps the Astral Plane. Whether or not she is still located in the Abyss, it is widely considered that she is no longer a demon.
Prior to becoming a goddess, Celestial Baphomet was highly prolific in her creation of demons, and her "children" became ubiquitous across most layers of the Abyss. Perhaps the most notable of these are the Bulezaus and Goristroi, whose dramatic transformations after their progenitor's apotheosis were one of the first signs of change to be noticed across the multiverse by followers of Pre-Celestial Baphomet. According to Bulezau and Goristro sources, their demonic ichor was "purified", becoming eudemonic syrup, and their vicious natural weapons and malicious instinct were supplanted by instruments of softness and permanent feelings of at least a background ecstasy and delight. Creatures planetouched by them also underwent transformations (though less major) and their natural powers and characteristics changed.
Taboos[edit | edit source]
Celestial Baphomet is diametrically opposed to the establishment of societal norms and any and all types of prejudice. She is also opposed to negative energy, although she is not opposed to creatures sustained by negative energy, which is a common misinterpretation.
