Replaying DQ9 for the first time in a while, and am at Stornway Castle. I inspected the Guardian Statues and was surprised to see that Stornway has two different Celestarian Guardians named; 'Tucana', on the left, and 'Cygnus', on the right.

I've been playing this game for years, and this is the first time I've really paid attention to the statues, so I'm wondering if a lot of folk have noticed this.

I'm also wondering if it's intentional or an oversight. Stornway is a pretty large town, by DQ9 standards, so it might make sense for it to have two Guardians. Equally, I'm fairly sure that it's the only town to have two, even amongst similarly sized towns like Coffinwell, Bloomingdale and Gleeba, so it is still weird.

Thoughts?

Welcome to the Quester's Rest! (it is just offscreen)

So hands up, who here was aware that Goresby-Purrvis had a son? Well he does!

His name is Purrcival, Goresby-Purrvis adopted him as an abandoned cub, and has hand-sewed all his clothes for him. He likes to deny Purrcival isn't his son, but "Spoils him rotten when nobody is looking".

This is all canon, I'm not joking. All of this is from Dragon Quest Tact, and I am Obsessed. My favourite boss became a doting father to a kitten.

to celebrate dragon quest’s anniversary in 2020 (and start off posting on here too ahah), I drew a tribute to dq9 of my funny lil celestrian

this one was a fun piece to work on, both color wise and learning wise with the procreate app!

Celestrian Masterlist

I have some fittingly angelic OC's that I wanted to give a DQIX AU, so I looked through the wiki + double-checked some stuff of my own accord and felt like sharing it here too - this list will be updated as I replay through the game and do things like "counting every single Celestrian found in game" and similar fascinating tasks. This list will likely contain spoilers, as well as the birds each of the constellations the Celestrians are named after are associated with. NON-GUARDIANS: - Apus Major, leader and eldest of the Celestrians. His bird is a bird of paradise :) - Columba, presumably a librarian. Her bird is a dove. Seems to have been familiar with Corvus previously, and is close with Aquila now - Aquila, former Guardian of Angel Falls, twin brother of Pavo, the protagonist's mentor and former apprentice of Corvus. His bird is the eagle. - Pavo, the one who opens and closes the Rapportal and allows the player to use the multiplayer function. The only Celestrian to live in the Protectorate, and (younger) twin sister of Aquila. Her bird is the peacock. GUARDIANS: - You! :) Angel Falls is all yours - Tucana, one of two Guardians of Stornway. Their bird is the toucan! - Cygnus, the other of the two Guardians of Stornway. Their bird is the swan. - Vultur, Guardian of Gleeba. Their bird is, as one might guess, the vulture. - Noctua, Guardian of Swinedimples Academy. Fittingly, their bird is an owl. - Corvus, the sort-of-sort-of-not Guardian of Wormwood Creek. His bird is the crow.

OTHER GUARDIAN STATUES: - Zere - noted to be crumbling and broken. I'd assume this is because the villagers treat the tree at the centre of the village as a guardian instead. - Coffinwell - two statues, actually, but no names - Alltrades Abbey - weirdly, none. There is a statue behind Abbot Jack, but I think that looks more like Celestria, personally. Noting it regardless! - Zere Rocks - has a statue, but given the context of how it was made there's no way to know if it would even have a Guardian to go with it. - Bloomingdale - statue, no name This leaves us with Porth Llaffan (which worships Leviathan over the Celestrians), Slurry Quay, Dourbridge, Batsureg (nomadic, might not have statues because of this) and Upover (which has Greygnarl) without statues, but not necessarily without Guardians. I also made a point of checking Gerzuun (which does have a church, notably, and the bodura grass as a thing to worship) and Brigadoom, but couldn't find any there either. Beyond that, all Celestrians are unnamed (I'll get to how many of those there are later!). That being said, there are actually two major bird related constellations left (that I could find with some very surface level research) that aren't used as names within the game. Namely Grus (crane) and Phoenix (self-explanatory). I like to think that Phoenix would be a good fit for Alltrades Abbey, given the association with rebirth, though I'm still figuring out where I personally would place Grus. (I also think that Phoenix would be a very interesting fit for Brigadoom or Zere, Rocks or otherwise, for similar reasons) That being said, since most of the constellation names for birds are also just their genuses, it's pretty easy to find a number of canon compliant names that will fit right in should you choose to make your own :) happy questing !
