What is Celeste? Celeste is a world that has developed far beyond what others have achieved, wherein nations within it have dedicated themselves into making a lasting impact on an interstellar scale. More broadly, it is a network of four star systems within the Milky Way Galaxy, vying to learn more about the world outside of its current borders. P R E H I S T O R Y The prehistory of Celeste covers events prior to the written history of what is now the modern-day nations of Celeste. The starting dates commonly given to this period are from around 40,000 BCE, although these dates are shrouded in controversy, with artifacts supporting a pre-30,000 BCE presence being of questionable authenticity. E A R L Y⠀H I S T O R Y The first known settlers of Earth are identified as the Hullard people, who inhabited Celeste at least 7,000 years ago, specifically what is now known as the Hullard Valley, situated between three rivers. There, they developed agriculture and writing, but due to egotism, internal change, and environmental collapses, their civilization did not last. Instead, there were smaller "micro civilizations" that stretched further outward of the Hullard Valley, developing new cultures, languages, agricultural techniques, and weapons - with the ones closer to the mountain tending to be more peaceful, and focusing on hunting and agriculture. The biggest quarter was Tottenham, which had a population of roughly 2,000 people, ushered in the Iron Age, and occupied easily half of the valley, and was led by their sovereign, Cata, for 61 years (from when she turned 22 until her death). Before Cata's rule, Tottenham was a small fishing town strategically located further out of the valley to avoid getting invaded, because it didn't render them a threat, nor was there a shortage for fish. Cata, driven with a desire to punch above Tottenham's worth, pitched the idea of developing fishing tools into weapons, utilizing techniques never before seen in inter-quarter clashes. The idea fared well, and the rest is history—the creation of projectiles, slingshots, etc. The survivors of Tottenham's conquests then proceeded to defect to more powerful quarters, developing similar weapons utilized by Tottenham. Eventually, Tottenham had its own thriving society — one that didn’t need to leave the valley to find resources, and one that didn't need to expand and conquer; apathy for other quarters began to foster in Tottenham. None of the other quarters bothered challenging Tottenham, however, particularly because of the large stone wall constructed around Tottenham's borders—owing to their large stone supply. In fact, other quarters that have matured past the stage of constant conquest followed in suit, which led to further development of stone and iron tools within individual quarters.

Vehicular Registration Las Piñero vehicle registration plates are tied to its vehicles permanently. The typical terrestrial vehicles contain seven alphanumeric characters, wherein the first three are uppercase letters, and the later four are numbers. They are separated so as to avoid confusion, because of similarities between characters such as “0” and “O”. Lastly, they have a red band on the left, and a blue band on the right. SPOILER: Click to show Notable contributors to the parliament are entitled to their own custom vanity plate. These plates could contain up to seven alphanumeric characters, barring words that are generally distasteful, as well as character combinations already in use. SPOILER: Click to show Some departments such as the fire department are also entitled to a different type of license plate. These plates contain the usual seven alphanumeric characters, but instead of a blue band on the right, both left and right bands are red. SPOILER: Click to show Diplomats get their own plate design, wherein both left and right bands are black, and an uppercase “E” on the left denotes an embassy, while an uppercase “C” denotes a consulate, and a three-letter acronym for the nation of origin is placed on the right. SPOILER: Click to show Electric motorcycles, being smaller than the regular vehicle, uses a smaller plate. It has one, simple taupe band on the left and the same text format as the typical registration plate. SPOILER: Click to show Inspired by Santones/Saintonges
