![[2image_unknown.png]] - **Type:** Divine pathway linking the mortal world and the heavens. - **Dates:** Manifested during the [[The Time of Troubles]] - **Note:** The Celestial Stairway was a radiant stair of silver fire that descended from the heavens to [[Faerûn]], allowing gods cast into mortal form to return once [[Ao]] restored [[The Tablets of Fate]]. Guarded fiercely and visible only to the divine, it became a symbol of the gods’ fallibility and their reliance on Ao’s decrees. [[Olivia Halcrest]] once told [[Dio Eldwynair]] of this pathway to other realms and other possibilities while he was a squire.
