[OOC] [Exalted 2.5] The Scarlet Sky Conspiracy – An Epistolary Game

[wonderandawe]

If Rei exalts as a Sidereal during game play, you are going to have to roll Integrity to see if you keep your memories of her. Your past associate with her will not count for the purposes of becoming an Acquaintances. You will have to rebuild a relationship with Rei after her Exaltation.

It's harsh, but Arcane Fate is a bitch.

That sounds fair, it also might give Titus a heart attack. Wait, I couldn't write about her in a letter because she wouldn't have a destiny. The inability to troll Titus saddens me.

I love when players react to an NPC just as planned.

Do you want me to file your character under Quelaana Ferem or Ferem Quelaana?

[Exthalion]

Exthalion I need names for your Jadeborne ally and his mentor.

Ally: Ascending Stratum
Mentor: Fulminous Heart

The real funny thing is that all of us who know about Sids form the Heptogram can't talk about it because magic. The best we could do would probably do is indicate it obliquely by talking about "those things at the Heptogram you can't talk about".

I haven't forgotten about this.

[wonderandawe]

I think I got everyone's NPCs (not including any new NPCs introduced for Descending Air). Let me know if I am missing any. Feel free to edit details and change the picture for the NPC. All the stuff I need for the NPC is in the GM section you can't see.

wonderandawe - V'Neef is Wood aspect, yes. Welcome to being a V'Neef, where exaltation and aspect are foregone conclusions.

Hm? Who knows about Sids from the Heptagram, and what magic is this that prevents people from talking about it?

All the students of the Heptagram know about Sidereals, but they are bound by a spell not to speak of Sidereals to anyone. I don't know where in the books this is found.

Thus both Aisa and Akashan know about Sidereals, but can't speak of them.

I did not know about this! What does Aisa know about Sidereals?

It also sort of makes sort of nonsense of her plans to investigate Titus' colleagues. Whether she's right or not, Aisa will think she already knows about the secret conspiracy I was having her sniff around for and react somewhat differently.

[wonderandawe]

Funny enough, I assumed your character knew about Sidereals and was trying to work around the spell not to speak of them in your letter to Titus.

Aisa knows Sidereals are the Exalts of the Maidens. Most Sidereals support the Scarlet Empire, but she has been warned not to trust unfamiliar Sidereals. Sidereals have been forgotten from the World. Sidereals know things. They have strange ways to get knowledge. And they LOVE playing the mysterious type.

Aisa doesn't know exactly how Arcane Fate works or about Resplendent Destinies or Astrology.

[Eura]

It's Dragon-blooded nameology so Ferem Quelaana.

I like that it works that way too. She was guessing Lunar - now she's guessing Lunar or Sidereal, but yeah, it doesn't really change anything.

[Exthalion]

So, who gets V'Neef Bijar?

[wonderandawe]

So, who gets V'Neef Bijar?

I suppose you do. Aisa will get V'Neef.

[Eura]

Oh, that reminds me I need to add my God mentor (Hymn of Solace) to the site.
