On page 68 of Exalted 3E there is a list of the mons for the great houses. Was a similar mon ever developed and released for the empress? According to the text, she does have and use one.

It is a scarlet five pointed star (red pentagram).
The mon on Volfer's crotch art is Mnemon's.
I don't think we have an official art example of the Empress's mon.

She/Her. I am literal-minded and write literally. If I don't say something explicitly, please never assume I implied it. The only exception is if I try to make a joke.
My point of view may be different from yours but is equally valid.

Why is that foreboding? It's just a super-generic symbol of the five elements. Too generic, IMO.

Because Satanists use it. That shouldn't matter in Exalted.

Funnily enough, the pentagram has for centuries actually been used in Christian symbolism, even to the point of representing Christ himself (specifically the five wounds).
But yeah, it's a long-standing symbol to depict the relationship between five interconnected things.

Really, it's a funny thing how symbolism works; a pentagram assumed to be sinister just because some people assert that it is so based on a distortion of how some people are actually employing it, when there's nothing inherently sinister about the meaning of a star.

Yeah, the whole pentagram = Satanism = the Devil = demons thing is pure fantasy. Some neo-Pagans use the pentagram as a symbol for European paganism (perhaps related to Crowley, again) but then plenty of people also damn all Paganists as evil demon-worshipers, despite "paganism" being so broad it basically just means "not a major world religion".
A five-pointed star is not inherently "demon" anymore than a six-pointed star is inherently Jewish, or a nine-pointed star is inherently Baha'i. Or, indeed, an eight-pointed star being inherently Solar (although that at least is an in-setting symbol).Last edited by Erinys; 09-10-2021, 10:22 PM.

Nor should we assume that the forum is inherently working properly at any given time, nor that we can edit our frikkin' posts when we think of another paragraph.
A pentagram = five. So it could be elements, Dragons, Directions, maidens, seasons, days that you spent slogging through Cecelyne, etc. If the pentagram as a symbol of the Gaian elements goes back to the early First Age, it's entirely possible that the Autochthonians use a six-pointed one for their elements and Directions.
