Celest
Celest is named in the Hymn of Passing, part of the Draklin Blot, the ritual that half-giants and Nordmen perform after a successful dragon hunt. The hymn bids the bold and brave beast to sail to lush and fair shores and to "prey upon the beasts of Celest", tells it not to fear the ire of the singers' kin, and promises that when the time is right they will fight once again in the great hall.1
