Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Well, for one Omphalos is just a plain English word; it's not a made-up fantasy word, so that helps. But, more specifically, it's the center-point of Creation's geomancy. In Return of the Scarlet Empress, the Ebon Dragon breaks the Omphalos so he can corrupt the whole world and remake it in his image. This has the side effect of shutting down any natural defenses Creation has against the Fair Folk.
Which, as was humorously stated earlier, the book states that, ironically, this will probably be a good thing for Creation, as the Fair Folk are more likely to fight against the Ebon Dragon than anything else.
It bears mentioning that breaking the Omphalos involves killing Pasiap, the Dragon of Earth, and exploding the Imperial Mountain in the process. So, fixing it is rather difficult.5e D&D Mythos Classes

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Gethamane. There's a Hekatoncheires and lots of Darkbrood and occasionally ghosts, and nothing to eat but fungus, and human sacrifice, and it's generally a lovely place. Also, it's connected to the Underworld. Also, there's a hidden Yu-Shan gate there, in case the backup Elemental Pole of Earth didn't give the Neverborn enough reasons to want it invaded. It's one of the worst places in Creation to be a mortal.
Agreed, on all counts.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Most of Creation has plentiful and delicious harvests of a wide variety of foods. Gethamane has fungus.
Most of Creation sacrifices expensive things to the gods. Gethamane sacrifices people to a garden.
Most of Creation has ghosts, but not a direct 24/7 passage to the Underworld. Even Shadowlands have sunlight to keep the ghosts down.
Most of Creation has powerful-ish gods and Terrestrial Exalts that care about protecting mortals, or at least care about their source of prayer. Gethamane has a couple weak and insane gods who do nothing but keep the air circulating and occasionally drive people mad. And sometimes Jadeborn, who try to stay the hell away from Gethamane because of the Hekatonkhires there.
Yeah, the Hekatonkhires? Most of Creation doesn't have those. Did I mention that it was born from the hatred of the first Primordial ever to die? And that it's Essence 8?
Darkbrood. DAAAAARKBROOOOOD.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
That's not definitive, though. The only word we have on that is the Magnus.
Pasiap is definitely not the fetich soul of Gaia. One of the endings of RotSE has the Emerald Mother showing up after Pasiap is killed.
Vodak is a good example of that thing I was saying earlier about behemoths sometimes being more powerful then their Essence would indicate. He ate more than 10,000 Dragon-Bloods when he attacked. That's, what, most of the Terrestial population of the Blessed Isle?Awesome Cyborg Doom Monkey avatar by Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins. Offer up your robo-bananas to him.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
He did. And he can split them off and sic them on enemies. Because what's the one thing a behemoth needs? The ability to field an army of exalts. No way that could be overpowered.
Though it's only half to a third the Terrestrial population of the Isle. They've got 20 or 30k DBs there (can't remember which).

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
That's a lot of stuff again. Thanks! Though if these couple posts have been the "simple" ways, I'm kind of scared to think of the complicated ones .
Anyway, personally, I'm trying to keep future Fae involvement to a minimum, to save the ST headaches. Still, I might just ask her if she could read this stuff and say if any of this is kosher.
You're more right than you know. The original inspiration for the monster is agile enough to literally do breakdance moves .Last edited by Drascin; 2011-02-03 at 05:33 AM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Any advice on the most suicidal creature to summon with Thaumaturgy? I was going to go with a Storm Serpent but their essence is sadly just a smidge high for the limits of Beckon (species).

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Oddly enough, in my game, one of the characters has a familiar, a dog, who was kidnapped and is being experimented on right now...
BEEP.

Re: General Exalted Discussion II: No Longer Mortal
Happy to help!
Part of the fun to the Fair Folk is that they work a lot like a toolbox - come up with an idea, and there is (almost always) a way to get Fair Folk to do it (more or less well, granted), so even if you don't use them per se, you have a notion of how much effort is involved (from NPCs) in getting what you want.
Raising newly dead Exalts is a bit harder post-errata (ludicrously rather than extremely), and I'm still working on time travel.

Wait, how did you find a way to bring someone back from the dead?
