Contents

Celestial Chorus is a supplement presented as if it were a series of extracts from the fictional codex The Book of Ages, the central work that the Celestial Chorus has revered for its entire existence. [1]

Publication history

Celestial Chorus is the fifth release in the Tradition Book series. [1] The book was originally released by White Wolf Publishing in July 1996, [2] with a second edition following in June 2001. [3]

Reception

Adam Tinworth reviewed Celestial Chorus for Arcane magazine, rating it a 5 out of 10 overall. [1] Tinworth comments that "For any player keen to take on the playing of such a religious character, this book provides a valuable grounding in the origin of the movement. But crucial elements that both players and storytellers alike will be looking for are sadly lacking. This is something of a missed opportunity." [1]
