塞勒斯汀

Celestine

活圣人

The Living Saint?

展開精雕細(xì)琢的翅膀，手握熾熱泛著光暈的長(zhǎng)劍，圣賽勒斯汀是帝皇力量的化身。 她像一顆星星般閃耀，劍指戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)的戰(zhàn)火硝煙，散發(fā)出神圣的光芒。神皇的信徒因她的存在而精神抖擻奮勇向前，異教徒則被恐懼籠罩畏縮潰退。

四散逃去無(wú)疑是最明智的選擇，賽勒斯汀的突襲有如帝皇本人的裁決一般雷霆萬(wàn)鈞，以一種非人的力量打擊那些混沌異形。僅僅憑借一個(gè)手勢(shì)，活圣人就能從天上降下復(fù)仇之火，亦或是給傷病的盟友注入復(fù)蘇之風(fēng)。

在被封為活圣人之前，除了她是一位來(lái)自我們的殉道女士修會(huì)的修女，所有人對(duì)賽勒斯汀知之甚少。 她曾是在對(duì)抗帕拉丁異端分裂戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中犧牲的一位戰(zhàn)士。但當(dāng)洗凈她身上的鮮血，拂去戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)帶來(lái)的污穢之后，她再次在信徒面前以一種無(wú)暇的姿態(tài)站起屹立。剩下的帕拉丁十字軍經(jīng)歷了一場(chǎng)血腥的復(fù)仇風(fēng)暴，塞勒斯汀被尊為十字軍的榮譽(yù)領(lǐng)袖。整個(gè)地區(qū)，不僅是分裂異端，一切被認(rèn)為不應(yīng)存在于人類世界的存在都被完全肅清。

十字軍的領(lǐng)袖安斯加爾勛爵認(rèn)為神圣的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)即將在帕拉丁區(qū)域的首府終結(jié)，但塞勒斯汀堅(jiān)持解放一個(gè)名為塞圖斯里斯的閉塞小世界。除她以外沒有人直到這個(gè)世界有一個(gè)曾被圣凱瑟琳造訪過的古老火心圣殿。下令將破碎的祭壇移開，搬走下面的石板，露出一個(gè)隱藏的地窖入口。不讓任何人跟隨，她獨(dú)自沿著千年來(lái)被塵土覆蓋無(wú)人踏足的階梯向下走去。當(dāng)?shù)谝豢|晨曦破曉，塞勒斯汀從古墓中歸來(lái)，被神圣的光柱高高托起，小天使和鴿子陪伴在側(cè)。此刻她身披一套金光閃閃的盔甲，手握一柄被花瓣環(huán)繞的寶劍，劍刃是如此鋒利冷冽叫人無(wú)法直視。她環(huán)顧四周，凡是膽敢與她對(duì)視之人，都被最狂熱的崇拜和最幽深的恐懼支配。

她圣化之后，安斯加爾勛爵和同伴們宣布塞勒斯汀為活圣人。她的存在令信徒們前所未有的熱情高漲，成千上萬(wàn)的異端在她的軍勢(shì)面前迎來(lái)毀滅終焉。很多人僅僅是站在她面前就感到壓力倍增，因?yàn)樵谒麄兠媲暗氖且粋€(gè)永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法效仿趕超的楷模。

塞勒斯汀已經(jīng)在帝國(guó)的各個(gè)角落與帝國(guó)的不忠者戰(zhàn)斗了超過數(shù)個(gè)世紀(jì)。她曾許多次在戰(zhàn)斗中被擊倒，但無(wú)論她在哪倒下，她的歸來(lái)就像燦爛的黎明一樣周而復(fù)始不可動(dòng)搖。雙子侍女總是侍立身側(cè)一同作戰(zhàn)。這些冠軍擁有一部分和塞勒斯汀同樣的恩賜，并愿意為保護(hù)她獻(xiàn)出自己的生命。預(yù)測(cè)塞勒斯汀和她的雙子侍女下次在哪出現(xiàn)總是困難的，但是無(wú)論她們現(xiàn)身何處，帝皇的意志都將得到彰顯。

Celestine

sculpted wings spread wide, halo and ardent blade in hand, Saint Celestine is an embodiment of the God-Emperor’s might. She shines like a star aimed the smoke and fumes of battlefield, radiating holy light. The faithful are filled with strength and courage by her presence as even as heretics recoil in terror.

Those who flee are wise to do so, for Celestine strikes like the Emperor's own judgement, smiting the unrighteous with a strength that belies her Human form. With a gesture, the Living Saint calls fires of retribution down from on high, or infuses her sick and injured allies with healing energies.

Of her life before she was declared a Living Saint, very little is known of Celestine, other than that she was a Sister Repentia of the Order of Our Martyred Lady. She was but one warrior amongst those who fell in war against the heretics of the Palatine Schism. But after her body had been cleansed of the blood and filth of battle, she rose once more, standing flawless before the faithful in attendance. The remainder of the Palatine Crusade passed in a bloody whirlwind of vengeance as Celestine was hailed as the Crusades figurehead, the entire sector being scoured of not just the schismatics but every being the Crusaders deemed unworthy of existing upon the worlds of Man.

Lord Ansgar, the Crusade’s leader, believed the holy war would reach its conclusion at the capital world of the Palatine Sector, but Celestine insisted upon first liberating a small backwater world named Sanctus Lys. Unknown to all but her, the world was home to the ancient Shrine of the Fiery Heart, once visited by Saint Katherine. Celestine ordered a broken altar moved aside and the flagstones beneath it taken up, uncovering the entrance to a hidden crypt. Barring any from following her, she descended dusty steps that none had trodden for millennia. As first light broke above the ruined shrine, Celestine rose from the tomb, borne aloft on a column of divine radiance and attended by cherubs and doves. She was now clad in a suit of shining golden armour, and wielded a blade wreathed in sweet-scented petals, its blade so bright none could bear look upon it. She gazed around, and all who dared meet her eyes were struck down by equal parts heavenly adoration and infernal terror.

After her apotheosis, Lord Ansgar and a conclave of his Thorian compatriots declared Celestine a Living Saint. Her presence invested the faithful with an unprecedented fervour, and hundreds of thousands of heretics met a fiery end at the hands of her armies. Many were fearful in her presence, for to stand before her was to submit to the judgement of one whose example could never be emulated.

Celestine has fought the faithless over long centuries, and in all corners of the Imperium. Many times it has appeared that she has been struck down in battle, but wherever she falls she inevitably rises once more like the radiant dawn. The Geminae Superia often fight at her side. Each of these champions is possessed of a portion of Celestine's grace, and would lav down their lives to protect her. It is difficult to predict where Celestine and her Geminae Superia will appear, but wherever they go, the Emperor's will is made manifest.
