If you are trying to generate a kingdom, one of the big elements is cultural details. Probably add a table for primary crops, as food is a huge facet of culture, major natural resources like iron or hardwoods, and I'd also recommend a table for attitudes about warfare and other major areas of life.

Thinking about the suggestion of tying more regen to narrative time instead of in-universe time, perhaps what we need to do is introduce another unit of narrative time, call it a chapter, after which you recover all of your motes and a point of Willpower. A chapter would be for when there's a significant break in the succession of scenes, like sleeping overnight or a week of downtime, but not necessarily a session break or the end of a story.

One thing I was contemplating was a shard based on Solo Leveling. It would go something like this:

In the beginning, the Celestial Incarnae, Autochthon, and the Elemental Dragons made Creation from the Wyld. Humanity flourished for centuries, but then came the Yozis from out of the depths of the Wyld, bringing with them hordes of demons. Unable to stop the tide of monsters ravaging Creation, the makers of the world sacrificed themselves to create the Seal of Divinities and lock Creation away from its enemies. Peace reigned once more for thousands of years, but then cracks in the Seal...

I agree that they would be so nice, but I can see why they cut them. 2nd Edition's Charm diagrams took up half and whole pages throughout the Charms chapter and that had half the Charm count of 3rd Edition. Take the current Charms chapter and double its thickness - I'm sure you can see why that would be problematic for printing the hard copy versions, especially the Deluxe Version.

I was reading a manwha called "Solo Leveling" and I saw a whole bunch of fun parallels you could make with Exalted. In Solo Leveling, magical gateways began to open up all over the world in random places, containing extra-dimensional dungeons full of monsters, and at the same time about 1 in a thousand people, called hunters, got various magical abilities, allowing them to combat the monsters. It's got a very dynamic style, with a lot of cool action sequences that remind me of the best stunts I've encountered in Exalted, and the combat is mostly physical, with cool swords and armor....

Don't feel too bad. You weren't the only one and you still answered the question pretty thoroughly....
