I'm not sure we can say that Dionamus found Celestia since we have no grounds that other Nexii have been connected to our current Cosmic Planes. In fact, with Alabellum outside of the Basin of Life (most likely), it's seems more logical to me that Dionamus had access to a separate but similar cosmic plane, much like Magnagora is tied to a plane that used to resemble Shallamar.

Hm, he wouldn't have needed a nexus, just god powers to travel there like the Elders would have and even the first Celestian's to discover it didn't use a nexus to reach it. Also Mag is connected to the plane that was Shallamar but also afaik the names we have for the cosmic planes are what mortals gave them when they were discovered after "Aftermath". It's also what the histories claim.

But that said, the idea that no angels made it back and the supernals never learned about mortals in all that time does seem weird and the possibility of other Celestia-like planes seems like it exists. We're also like... looking at thousands of years and multiple apocalyptic/cataclysmic events, having info that's wrong creep into histories makes it feel... more realistic? Or even have it turn up that the HCE "edited" things to create a link to a vernal for reasons while securing their power over the basin is like an interesting concept?
