Burning Sands Celesta

Lore[]

When she first realized she was lost in the Desert of Burning Sands, Celesta was able to retain her composure. While half of her worried how long it would be before she had crossed the arid expanse, the other half of her was filled with wonderment. But, as one, then two, then a third day passed, panic began to set in. She had yet to see a modicum of life since setting foot there, and her empty stomach and bone-dry throat had started to truly agonize her.

Name origin[]

Celesta is a feminine name of Latin origin; the meaning is "heavenly, of the sky". It is derived from the word coelestis. Caelestis and Coelestis are old Latin forms. A variant transcription of the name Celeste (English) and Céleste (French).

Also celesta or celeste is a struck idiophone operated by a keyboard. It looks similar to an upright piano (four- or five-octave), or a large wooden music box (three-octave). The sound of the celesta is similar to that of the glockenspiel, but with a much softer and more subtle timbre. This quality gave the instrument its name - "heavenly".
