Isator Levi Greyman good point, I assumed because the first chunk of text I attempted to highlight worked, and that a couple other ctrl-fs worked, that it was universal. I had also completed a readthrough/skimming of the relevant sections for the various ministries and Thousand Scales writeups, with no mention.

This has started to take over the thread a little bit, so apologies. Thanks everyone for your responses.

Oh man, where was that from? I didn't see it in the 1e DB book, which was stop number 1 on my magical mystery tour....

Yeah, in E: tDB is just says that Satraps manage their own paramilitary forces usually. Does Blood and Salt mention the Garrison Commander being appointed by the Empress and the practice of them being from a separate house from the Satrap, or is that new to this edition? I was also hoping that wherever it was mentioned would shed more light on how they are staffed. When I asked around in the Dev thread, Eric said that the Garrisons and their troops are separate from the Legions.

I checked Scav Sons, but from what I could see, the word Satrap wasn't used at all, and Harborhead and...

When and where was the idea of a garrison and accompanying commander for a satrapy introduced? Ctrl-fing Exalted: The Dragon Blooded shows that the word isn't even used once. I'm trying to beef up on my understanding of satrapial workings for my DB game, and find the finer points somewhat elusive.

Thanks ffanxii4ever !

There's a lot of good conversations in the Discord servers for some of the other OP games, but I haven't seen if there is one for Trinity. Although it could just be that I'm not a cool kid.

I'm guessing going with an Artifact/Evocation model, where instead of having to actually attune to every charm, you attune to one "base" charm and then have evocations off of that? You could still have addons to the base that do need additional attunement, as a knob for balance....

Also of note, the Gods weren't always active in The World. Due to the vagaries of Fate and Fate-binding, they apply a lighter touch to interacting with The World, if at all.

While it doesn't answer every question, the Religions and Cults section on page 24 of Origins sets up good guidelines for how these things unfolded.

Thanks for this! It is some real good info. Do you know if there was a good resource for this in previous editions for the interim?...

Is the legion garrison in Fajad manned by a Mnemon or a Cathak legion? I know that historically the garrison commander and satrap are from different houses, but I'm not sure about how much this situation has changed after the Realm leagions were divvied up. The current commander is a Mnemon, but is she a Mnemon working in a Cathak legion?

[MoroseMorgan]

Isn't this the same as your other thread?

I found this quote especially evocative.

Also hearing that Across the Eight Directions is going to detail the surrounding areas to make the locales into little ecosystems is all I have ever wanted in a setting book....

[MoroseMorgan]

There's actually a nice little chunk of info on Mantles in the Companion outline that Neal so graciously shared with the latest ks update....

Well, if the scythe end doesn't dip down too far, it is closer to a dagger-axe.

Would the golems 100% have their own stats, or did you still intend to use the warstrider model for Dex and abilities? If not, then it isn't too different from Riding a Tyrant Lizard, or other Legendary Sized creature, only you don't feed them and they are perfectly loyal. I'd say Celestial 2 with decent finesse.

I'd personally go with them being irreparable, and needing to be redone entirely, reusing whatever remains of the initial mass, with refunded XP of course.

[MoroseMorgan]

Huh, I haven't had a chance to dig into FFG Star Wars. Neat. I always figured it was a way to do Fate Zones without some of the issues with Zones....

[MoroseMorgan]

I was just looking through the preview, as I won't have a gaming budget until next week, but does the layout/styling change mid paragraph for the charm Malignant Portent Pose in the final pdf?

[MoroseMorgan]

Funnily enough, Movement is one of the portions of the text that is more usable currently for Scion than Trinity, although equally funny, Scion uses feet and Trinity uses meters for the non-range-band movement calculation. Range, I haven't gotten that far. If I hadn't started reading Scion first before Trinity I wouldn't have known.

Speaking of Exalted, I was surprised that of all of the changes 3e made, the only one they cribbed for Storypath was movement....

[MoroseMorgan]

Is it just me, or was the Sidereal Excellency tweaked? Seems like you have to work a little harder to get that TN4 now.

[MoroseMorgan]

I've been all up in some Dragon-blooded too, so I haven't finished reading my Trinity and Scion books. What rules issues did you run into? More of the above, or something else?...
