Which two are those?...

[glamourweaver]

I'd say Air.

Dragon-Blooded fits well narrative given the importance of family and his equally Exalted brother to his narrative....

[glamourweaver]

Do you have any suggestion for what Essence 4 or 5 Solar Sail Charms might look like? Or any other Ability whose Charms currently cap at Essence 3?...

[glamourweaver]

No, the calendar is still based around five elemental seasons. Parts of the book ALSO refer to "spring, summer, autumn, and winter" but that's been true since first edition....

[glamourweaver]

That's my biggest problem with the idea, the fact that the sun's rising can't correspond to the five season setup....

[glamourweaver]

I've played with the idea of breaking from our world, and instead of the sun always rising in the East and setting in the West, it cycles through the year. It always sets opposite of where it rose, through the year its rise and set point circle clockwise around Creation.

[glamourweaver]

Would Essence 4 be the right range for Solar Sail Charms that a) make a non-air ship fly, or b) sends & summons your vessel to/from Elsewhere?

[glamourweaver]

They didn't, colossi filled that niche instead. One interesting thing discussed in 2nd Edition, but never written up, was that Colossi had developed Martial Arts styles that required being scaled to their size (in lieu of high essence Martial Arts charms), that were theoretically usable by other Exalted using Warstriders after the Seal is breached....

I definitely expect to see fanwritten takes on the Lovecraft Pantheon once the Drivethru market thingy goes up, since it is as you said public domain.

One that is plausible but I doubt it would be a write up of the Exalted Pantheon and shard for them, but that will require Paradox/White Wolf's cooperation since they're the IP owner on Exalted, unlike Scion whichever Onyx Path bought outright from CCP.

Is the sun the primary source of heat for Creation like it is for Earth? I would assume the Pole of Fire is the primary warming force for Creation, and the Pole of Air cools, etc. The Poles ascending in their essence-effects in their respective seasons....

[glamourweaver]

Here's the number I was thinking of

...

[glamourweaver]

North: Cherak or Deshan?

East: Greyfalls?

West: Neck?

South: An-Teng or Harborhead?...

[glamourweaver]

This was asked before, but I think at the time you were focused on Arms and weren't read to answer detailed WFHW questions.

I was curious if we can expect to see new Sorcery Initiations in the Dragon-Blooded book? Such as any that are institutionalized by the Heptagram.

[glamourweaver]

Those genres don't correspond to more or less narrative roleplaying systems. Trinity is going to support superheroes (Aberrant) and Scion is going to support lower magic urban fantasy (Origins)....

[glamourweaver]

It's been mentioned Trinity will be a bit more mechanically gritty/simulationist than Scion n, while Scion will be a bit more narrative. Neither are super gritty or narrative system wise, just in comparison to each other....

[glamourweaver]

kinda want to make Anpu and Djeheuty a couple now...

[glamourweaver]

My impression is that the Getimians want to "liberate humanity from the tyranny of the Gods and Fate"....

[glamourweaver]

2nd Edition kind of assumed that every given village Shaman and educated alchemist was a Thaumaturge. Thaumaturge was just applied science and/or ritual prayer in a world where the laws of nature happened to be magical.

In 3rd edition those same feats exist not covered by thaumaturgy. You want to bribe local gods for good weather, roll Occult to know what to sacrifice and who too, and Performance for the actual ritual. And then deal with the heavenly political fallout if censors or Immaculates are snooping around, or if the local god tries to extort more, etc etc.

[glamourweaver]

The Solars are considered heroes for going to War with Heaven once upon a time....

[glamourweaver]

Oramus is the Shinma who defines the other Shinma by not being Shinma, and thus was the first Primordial instead.
