In 2e, the court of the Celestial Emperor was located in Mechanus.  Did they ever come up with a canonical location in 3rd edition?

the celestial emperer????


was this some deity from oriental adventures?

if so, he is not listed in the realms books iirc.


maybe the 3.x deity books, but none of the 3.x realms iirc

The Celestial Emperor is effectively the head of the Kara-Tur pantheon, at least in Shou Lung and Tu Lung.

The Celestial Bureaucracy was located in the "Spirit World", Kara-Tur's equivalent to the Astral Plane. Small kingdoms floated this transendent plane above Kara-Tur's geographical location, in a planar structure that had many connections to other parts of the Great Wheel cosmology, Mechanus included.

So by 4e standards they would be in an Astral Domain in the Astral Sea?
And do you guys think that the Kara Turian (is that right?) deities or immortals or whatever you want to call them were their own beings or just aspects of Faerunian gods? If I remember correctly most if not all of them matched up pretty well with exisiting Faerunian gods. Id have to dig out that boxset to really know what Im talking about.
