Celestia
– Simple society formed by the Satyros in the forests cast of Alistel
– Led by their Patriarch Barranca
– The Satyros have power over Mana and are protected by a holy tree suffused with it
– The Satyros that love to dance are mainly jovial and filled with curiosity
– Over the centuries, the Satyros have continued to isolate themselves from humans
– In contract to the Gutrals, who have completely severed ties with humanity, the Satyros still enter human settlements from time to time and participate in cultural exchanges
– Formally, though, Celestia has broken off diplomatic relations with humans
– Celestia is protected by a magic barrier, so humans can’t enter
Vanoss (voiced by Tomohiro Tsuboi)
– Leads a troupe of travelling performers which includes Aht and Liese
– Always a gentleman and acts as Aht’s “Uncle Vanos”
– Happy with his life as a wandering performer, but he is personally acquainted with the Patriarch of the Satyros, and seems to have his own agenda
Liese (voiced by Chinatsu Akasaki)
– Satyros dancer who acts as an older sister and caretaker for Aht in Vanoss’ troupe of travelling performers
Affable and taklkative
– Has a generally sunny disposition
– She is a Satyros, but shares Aht and Vanoss’ warmth towards humanity

– Cygnus was once divided among various small, quarreling factions
– They all have been united by Garland, current king of Cygnus
