Beacon

A Monster from the Celestial Codex.

Historical Data

Heaven is often referred to as a place of holy light, called empyrean. Empyrean comes from the Medieval Latin empyreus, an adaptation of the Ancient Greek, "in or on the fire (pyr)." Empyrean is also a word for the highest heaven, occupied by the element of fire. It was thus used as a name for the firmament, notably the Divine Comedy, for the dwelling-place of God and the blessed, and as the source of light.

Amtgard Description
