For his betrayal in the Revolution, he was imprisoned on his planet. Rather than suffer an eternity of imprisonment, he deliberately chose to die creating the Umbrals to free himself, his lingering echo in their Exaltations the seed crystal around which the Shadow forms
His planet still exists, and is still invisible.
Well, it turns out that the guy who dreamed up the pseudoscientific Nibiru nonsense claimed that his imaginary, "undiscovered" planet created the asteroid belt by smashing into another planet.
So... I was half right?

Edit: like looking at the description of the Aurorals. They were therapists and spiritual healers, this is a difference to the Chosen of Serenity who take a more larger picture approach of establishing peaceLast edited by Iceblade44; 06-14-2021, 02:43 PM.

Their context in their Exalt helps too. Aurora, Nebiru, and thier Chosen are like, alla bout that in all its forms and the drive. Venus and Jupiter are that in context of Fate and Desitny. That impacts their Exalts too.
Kind of a weird thing to look at that 2e hinted at that 3e pushes more is that you can kinda see this in the different Alchemical Castes as prototypes of the other Exalted. In this context, you have Auroral Muses ala Adamant. Meanwhile, while Chosen of Serenity do do stuff wiht happense, joy, and love, it's notable that it's part of the kind of "broad planning/management/big picture" stuff of how it contributes to the other aspects. Similar wtih Nebiru versus Jupiter. Jupiter is about how secrets being hidden or revealed play in writing history. Nebiru is about like, secret police shit.

I don't really expect the writers to go here (not least because the Incarnae we're talking about are optional), but it's also worth noting that a lot of things were different before the Divine Revolution. Who's to say whether Venus was the Maiden of Serenity before Aurora died, or Nebiru was associated with secrets before being hidden away in darkness for all time?
The Yozis are not the beings that existed before the War. A new realm was created, the nature of death itself scarred. Surely the primary duties of the Incarnae are not off the table.

Well, the devs has said before that they are not going to give us Auroral mechanics, so I assume that without having such there is no point in giving a way to purify the Hearteaters from their corruption. In should be noted that it was mentioned that the Hearteaters have interest with Uluiru, so maybe some of them believe that it could serve as a way to cleanse themselves in one way or another.
