The Plains Of Celestis [Origin Spoilers]

[puddlejumper747]

Forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered.

WHERE and WHAT are the Plains of Celestis?
Are they on a planet? In orbit around a planet? Some type of ascended city?
But it's not like the Ancient Diner, because you don't have to be ascended to go there.
And there's obviously some sort of physical ring platform that lets people arrive and leave.
So what and where the heck is it? I'd like to get some responses. Let me know what you all think.

I think its something got to do with ascending.
or maybe its the big cty/building thing we saw in origin(i think it was origin)

We've seen planets ring to moons before like Sokar's setup. I'll take a wager that the Ori keep their worshipers on the planets and their base of opporations on the moons. Stargates and other advanced technology would be out of reach on the moons and the people would live in pretty primative habitats on the planets. Planes of Celestis is probably just one of the moons around that planet. I'm not sure how far a matter stream for a ring platform can actually go, but it seems like its probably not all that far, so its either a moon or a ship in orbit. They wouldn't have it anywhere on the planet for the people to find through casual exploring. It wouldn't be special then.

we really didn't see anything to suggest where the ori city was. Also we didn't see them get in them white rings they could have gone through a stargate first and then through the rings, or even used the rings on one planet and gated the matter stream to the plains.

as far as we know the ori rule over at least one whole galaxy if not more so they could have even gated to another galaxy and then ringed to the plains.

that and we dont know if it is a space ship city like atlantis or maybe even a whole planet that they can move around to rule over their galaxies

[Congerking]

I would venture a guess that Celestis was either on a moon close to the planet or at a higher elevation from the rest of the inhabitits of the planet. Both assessible with the rings

I think it'd be cool if it was a giant disc - like discworld. That'd be the coolest thing for them to use as a base of operations.

[Giantevilhead]

Maybe it's a giant floating continent.

[illuminarok]

Maybe it's a giant floating continent.

You mean like in the "Final Fantasy" game series?

PLAINS OF CELESTIS
A stunningly beautiful land mass, distant from the village of Ver Eger, where the city of Celestis resides. It is accessible by transport rings.

Seems we will have to wait for more info

[Tok'Ra Hostess]

Wherever it is, it does seem to be a place where mortals and ascended can meet. (BTW are Ascendeds immortal?)

It's really interesting place and there are the Ori in their fire version.So it could be in the Underworld...

[Avatar28]

I'm betting that it's somewhere else on the planet that they ringed to. The people we saw were primitive enough that I think that even something a few hundred miles away would probably be safe from them. Not to even mention if it were on another continent or anything. Somehow I don't see them travelling very much. Too much time spent kissing Ori heiney to actually be able to develop much technology or travel or anything.

i was thinking that as well

[the fifth man]

Hope tptb tell us more in the future. The near future.

[jimmytheclaw]

the ori are fire beings their city is surrounded by water. i wonder if they are being kept there and cannot leave hence the need for doci and priors
