The Celestus, is an ancient large astronomical device of ancient origins that is hidden in Kessig's Ulvenwald on Innistrad.[1] At times, it is said the arms shift about the central platform — which itself was as large as any village green. The broken rings with lenses rise from the earth, and carvings can be seen along its pitted surface. It was said that whatever purpose it once served, it was best left to the past.[1] According to Katilda, used it for righting the balance of day and night.[1]
Near the Celestus is the enclave of the Dawnhart Coven: branches and hides fashioned into tents, decorated with crescents and spheres. Floating candles, candleguides, lend the place an eerie light, as do the strange scarecrows throughout.[1]
The Celestus was used by the Dawnhart Coven in a ritual at the Harvesttide festival.[2] At its center was a lock of bright gold that had to be unlocked with the Moonsilver Key first.[1]
