An enormous bird of prey with a wingspan that can blot out a lesser sun, its dark brown and gold-tipped feathers catching the high-altitude light with an almost metallic gleam. Its keen amber eyes are framed by a regal white crown of feathers, lending it an air of ancient, imperious authority.

Proud and sovereign in bearing, Majestic Eagles tolerate human presence only on their own terms, yet those within the Celestial Order who have earned their respect find the birds to be reliable and almost solemn companions. They are not aggressive without cause but are unyielding when provoked.

The Order maintains a centuries-old practice called the Vigil of Wings, during which monks observe eagle flight at sunrise from the Astronomical Observatory to divine the fortune of the coming day. Emissaries from Eldoria have long requested the loan of trained eagles as messengers, though the Order grants such requests only rarely and with great ceremony. A legend among the mountain monks holds that during the Silence of Stars, a night centuries past when every star vanished without explanation, a flock of Majestic Eagles flew in perfect geometric formation overhead, their pattern matching an ancient celestial map, guiding the Order's scholars to the ritual that restored the night sky.

Majestic Eagles serve the Celestial Order as living links between the terrestrial and the heavenly, their soaring flight across the peaks seen as a form of celestial communication. Order scholars at the Astronomical Observatory regularly log eagle flight patterns alongside star charts, treating both as equally valid sources of cosmic knowledge.
