* GoodVersusGood: Averted completely. The reason ''all'' celestial demigods are called Empyreal Lords is because they are all part of the same political faction, as Good [[GoodIsNotDumb also includes the ability to recognize the virtues of cooperation]]; they may ''argue'', but azatas and archons are more than capable of dropping their personal agendas when it comes to the gain of the cosmos and mutual interests.

His realm is the Dream Lotus, a violet palace whose walls drip with golden, soothing nectar.
