The Celestial Order is a monastical order of Chronotopia's version of the veneration of an entity known as the "Star", the holy sign of this Order being a five-pointed stylized star that looks like a five-toothed cogwheel. The monks of the Celestial Order, among other things, are fiercely devoted to the combat of the forces of chaos as represented by Bosch. As such, they have a strong dislike for magic, but, even so, they have an attitude of "fight fire with fire", some members of their order studying a select sub-set of the Sphere of Spirit, the Sphere of Chaos and the Sphere of Shadow, specializing solely in spells of magic detection and magic dispelling. Some monk-mages who are able to master all of the spells across these Spheres refer to it as a new "Sphere of Negation", though such is not recognized by the College Esoterica or any other major magical body as a true Sphere. In light of this, the Celestial Order has a quirky relationship with the College Esoterica, and also has some dealings with the Technopriests of Rephidim Temple.

Taking apart ha'clohi hasn't revealed the secret as to how they are made, but has shed some light as to how they keep their wearers cool or warm. Part of it lies in the colouration. The sash that goes over the waist or head is lightly coloured, so reflects light. The light side of the garment also reflects light, while the darker side absorbs light to keep the wearer warm when it is desired. The other way the ha'clohi works is by a series of vent-holes near folds on the inside. When the wearer walks, wearing the garment light-side up, air is circulated as the folds are moved. The more the wearer moves, the more pronounced the effect is. When the garment is worn dark-side up, the vents are pressed against fabric, and effectively closed, trapping air in pockets to be warmed. Only zolk seems to work for this process.
