Xyphoid: /* Welcome! */

= Welcome! =
New here? Check out our [[QuickStartGuide]] for a short tutorial to get you started! You might also be interested in some wikizen's [[Favorites|favorite pages]].

[[WelcomeToExaltedWiki]]! This is a [[WikiWikiWebsite]] devoted to [[WhiteWolf]] Games' excellent game, Exalted. (Don't know what Exalted is? Check out [[WhatIsExalted]]). It's easy to walk around the site and read, but the real fun of a wiki comes when you contribute. If you need help, [[QuickStartGuide]] and [[WhatIsAWiki]] both have valuable information and links to get you on the right track, and [[BestPractices]] will tell you how best to observe Wikiquette. Once you feel comfortable and have a [[UserPage]], feel free to contribute! If you see an unwritten link, write it! If you have some material or a cool campaign to publish, hang it off your [[UserPage]]! Heck, if you catch a spelling mistake, fix it! Everything is fair game, that's the beauty of wiki.

This wiki is focused around 1e and (early) 2e - it is largely quiet these days but there's still lots of delicious content in there. During 2e's run, there was an official White Wolf wiki up, where most of the work happened. That was taken down in 2013 or so, but there is a read-only snapshot of it available at [http://rathess.xi.co.nz/exalted/index.php/Main_Page]

Most importantly, have fun.

== Wiki News ==

* 2017: There is also a 3e wiki at [http://exalted3e.wikidot.com/]
* 21 Sep 2015: Moved servers - let me know if there are any issues. Also, I have a readonly copy of the White Wolf Exalted 2 wiki up at [http://rathess.xi.co.nz/exalted/index.php/Main_Page] for your perusal. [[Xyphoid]]

== General Links ==

* An index to much of the game content on this site can be found at [[WikiContent]].

* If you have no idea what this thing is, visit [[WhatIsAWiki]] and [[QuickStartGuide]]. Then check out [[TextFormattingRules]] and play about in the [[SandBox]]. Before you make your page, visit [[BestPractices]] to get a feel for how best to do so. If you still have questions, visit [[WikiQuestions]] for [[WikiAnswers]].
* View our ever-growing roster of contributors at [[UserPages]], and add your own to the list!
* Visit Discussions to talk about ships, shoes, sealing wax and all that good stuff.
* If you want to create new pages, but aren't sure what to call them, post a question about it to [[NamingAdvice]]
* [[ExaltedLinks]] contains the URLs of various Exalted sites. So far the categories are: forums, character sheets, misc resources and campaign sites. Got any more to add?
* Here's two features that you may not have known about:
** [Random] -- Random Page!
** [Maintain] -- can only be clicked twice a day. Maintains the wiki and keeps it running at top speed. Also gives you a full list of all wiki pages!

I hope you all enjoy this site!

== User Updates ==

Anyone is allowed to mention a cool wiki node they find here, or a new one they are making. However, in the interests of page loading and server load, let's not have more than 30, okay?

Xyphoid: /* Wiki News */

= Welcome! =
New here? Check out our [[QuickStartGuide]] for a short tutorial to get you started! You might also be interested in some wikizen's [[Favorites|favorite pages]].

[[WelcomeToExaltedWiki]]! This is a [[WikiWikiWebsite]] devoted to [[WhiteWolf]] Games' excellent game, Exalted. (Don't know what Exalted is? Check out [[WhatIsExalted]]). It's easy to walk around the site and read, but the real fun of a wiki comes when you contribute. If you need help, [[QuickStartGuide]] and [[WhatIsAWiki]] both have valuable information and links to get you on the right track, and [[BestPractices]] will tell you how best to observe Wikiquette. Once you feel comfortable and have a [[UserPage]], feel free to contribute! If you see an unwritten link, write it! If you have some material or a cool campaign to publish, hang it off your [[UserPage]]! Heck, if you catch a spelling mistake, fix it! Everything is fair game, that's the beauty of wiki.

Most importantly, have fun.

= Greetings! =

I am truly shocked: there is another person on the Wiki who actually pays attention to what is going on! I was quite intrigued by your statements about the pedigre of this Wiki and would like to know more, would you care to chat sometime? --[[User:The Ghost|Survival is Niffty!]] 23:05, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
* I'm hosting it so I have to pay attention to deal with spam etc - though that's cut right down with the domain-specific captcha option now. I hang out on irc on #rpgnet on magicstar. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 22:36, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Xyphoid:

== Proposed Reorganization ==
<rant> Every entry has a bloody discussion page as a natural part of it: why does no one around here use the fraging things? </rant>

So I think for the sake of readability and making it easy to find the creatures you are looking for IF the page is reorganized along the lines of the bureau of nature it should remain segregated by cardinal directions and similar creature types.

* The talk pages are mostly blank because this wiki was converted from Usemod, and usemod didn't have a talk page system. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 23:09, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Xyphoid:

Was this martial arts made for 1E? I get the feeling because Night-Shattering Flare Movement refers to dodge actions. Would anyone be willing to update it to 2.5 rules?

Yeah, this page is from 2005. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 21:14, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Moonsword[5:07:32 PM]: I'll be right back. 
Moonsword[5:07:52 PM]: I'm trying to do a couple of different things at once and I kind of need to get a second screen set up for your game. 
Friv[8:08:29 PM]: Cool. *thumbs up*

Dakura[5:11:05 PM]: howgoes? 
Friv[8:11:29 PM]: Goes well with me. 
Imaginaldisc Has entered the room 
Friv[8:11:51 PM]: Just uploading Dynasty's Shadowed Light Pt. 5 before the session. 
Imaginaldisc[5:11:47 PM]: Howdies. 
Dakura[5:11:56 PM]: with me? namuch... been working on my story, Wounded Bird. following that poll of Fallstavia's to see if Blind Thrush actually gets any votes 
Moonsword Has entered the room 
Friv[8:12:56 PM]: *nods* WB Moonsword, and hello Imaginaldisc. 
Moonsword[5:13:08 PM]: So, now we wait on the All Sinister One. 
Dakura[5:13:32 PM]: even with me voting for him (he's my own char, how can I not?) I'm surprised he has 3 votes 
Friv[8:14:29 PM]: Which vote is this? 
Dakura[5:15:11 PM]: it's in the TSP forum area 
Friv[8:15:36 PM]: Ah, that explains it. I rarely meander in there. 
Dakura[5:16:02 PM]: Fall is taking a vote on who will be in his next smutfic 
Friv[8:16:44 PM]: Ahhh. 
Friv[8:16:59 PM]: *grins* Blind Thrush could certainly make for some interesting writing there.

Imaginaldisc Has exited the room 
Friv[8:19:21 PM]: I think that I will! 
Friv[8:19:48 PM]: Wow, Mechanic's kicking ass. 
Friv[8:19:53 PM]: Metaphorically speaking. 
Dakura[5:19:57 PM]: yeah 
Friv[8:20:13 PM]: I mean, I suppose her name is innuendo right there, so there ya go. 
Dakura[5:20:17 PM]: heh 
Dakura[5:20:37 PM]: plus, as was recently commented... people are likely wondering what she can do with 4 arms 
Friv[8:23:19 PM]: *shakes his head* ;) 
willcoon[5:23:44 PM]: that reduces multiple action penalties right? 
willcoon[5:23:59 PM]: even if one isn't specifically using ones arms? 
Friv[8:24:18 PM]: I would imagine so, yep. 
Dakura[5:24:16 PM]: -nods- 
willcoon[5:24:41 PM]: Varied applications! 
willcoon[5:24:53 PM]: Yes I imagine that would be quite useful 
Dakura[5:25:15 PM]: it can either add arms, or increase str for attack damage, but both give 1 point of reduction to multiple action penalties per instalation 
willcoon[5:26:43 PM]: I suppose that would be especially handy for one of those "sex or combat" confusions I hear the TFS boards have so often 
Friv[8:26:56 PM]: Arms Akimbo! 
Friv[8:27:18 PM]: To be fair, it's not just The Freedom Stone. 
Friv[8:27:39 PM]: I mean, have you READ Passion Transmuting Nuance? 
Friv[8:27:55 PM]: No, wait. 
willcoon[5:27:47 PM]: well right 
Friv[8:27:59 PM]: That's the wrong Charm. 
Friv[8:28:09 PM]: Oh, no, it's the right one. 
willcoon[5:28:08 PM]: er 
Friv[8:28:17 PM]: It's just slower than I remembered. 
willcoon[5:28:17 PM]: I suppose we all fight someone while having sex with them on occasion 
Friv[8:28:41 PM]: Hey, I saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith. 
willcoon[5:28:48 PM]: oh brilliant! 
Dakura[5:28:50 PM]: heh! 
Friv[8:29:38 PM]: And, for that matter, any number of movies. You'd think the natural end to every screaming match / argument was a passionate kiss. 
willcoon[5:29:32 PM]: Animatrix has a weird one too 
willcoon[5:29:38 PM]: if i recall correctly 
willcoon[5:29:43 PM]: well yeah 
Friv[8:29:57 PM]: brb 
Friv[8:32:24 PM]: *returns* 
Dakura[5:33:32 PM]: indeed 
Friv[8:34:20 PM]: Alright, if Ambi doesn't arrive in the next ten minutes, we'll start without.

willcoon[5:38:00 PM]: woah okay that's weird 
Dakura[5:38:05 PM]: meh? 
Friv[8:38:14 PM]: Wow. 
Dakura[5:38:10 PM]: what was that? 
Moonsword[5:38:11 PM]: *raises eyebrow* Well, that was useful... 
willcoon[5:38:28 PM]: It's just Ican see myself havign entered/existed 
Friv[8:38:35 PM]: Excessively odd? 
willcoon[5:38:33 PM]: ... 
willcoon[5:38:37 PM]: but nothing happened? 
Friv[8:38:44 PM]: Well, we're all still here. 
willcoon[5:39:03 PM]: hm 
Dakura[5:41:24 PM]: can we really be sure of that? 
willcoon[5:41:43 PM]: well if someone else was here 
willcoon[5:41:53 PM]: then the event erased them fromm all history 
Dakura[5:42:01 PM]: maybe one of us was... 'removed'... and now has an imposter in their place 
willcoon[5:42:03 PM]: so they were never /really/ here anymore 
Moonsword[5:42:05 PM]: I can still see you asking if people are here. 
willcoon[5:42:12 PM]: that is preposterous 
Moonsword[5:42:14 PM]: And no, history was not replaced. 
Moonsword[5:42:17 PM]: I'm a historian. 
willcoon[5:42:17 PM]: there are NO spiders here 
willcoon[5:42:19 PM]: none whatsoever 
Moonsword[5:42:23 PM]: You can trust me. 
willcoon[5:42:26 PM]: I mean 
willcoon[5:42:31 PM]: I don't even know what a spider is 
willcoon[5:42:52 PM]: yeah listen to the historian all is normal 
Dakura[5:43:02 PM]: it is a little thing with 8 legs 
willcoon[5:43:32 PM]: as I am not a spider, I did not previously know that 
willcoon[5:43:57 PM]: and do not intend to inject anyone with my corrosive digestive fluids 
willcoon[5:44:03 PM]: that would be ridiculous 
Moonsword[5:45:11 PM]: *smacks willcoon repeatedly with a carp* 
Moonsword[5:45:16 PM]: Snap out of it! 
Friv[8:45:38 PM]: *shakes head* 
willcoon[5:46:18 PM]: moonsword: 
willcoon rolls 8 10-sided dice. The results are: 2 3 2 1 5 3 3 7 
willcoon[5:46:34 PM]: I think that' 
willcoon[5:46:42 PM]: uh 
willcoon[5:46:54 PM]: <.< 
willcoon[5:46:59 PM]: where was I 
willcoon[5:47:08 PM]: okay AM OKAY now 
Dakura[5:47:16 PM]: didn't roll high enough on your Int+Soc roll? 
Moonsword[5:47:44 PM]: ...considering that this is World of Darkness, not Exalted, he _botched_ his Int + Soc roll. 
Friv[8:48:30 PM]: Alrighty, we'll get started without Ambi, since we're inching towards 9:00. 
willcoon[5:48:27 PM]: well it was supposed to be dex+melee for carp purposes 
Friv[8:48:36 PM]: Everybody ready for EXPOSITION? 
willcoon[5:48:30 PM]: either way 
willcoon[5:48:41 PM]: GOD AM I EVER 
Moonsword[5:48:52 PM]: *makes vague motions* Eh, whatever mate. 
Friv[8:49:03 PM]: ((Remember, the NPC is always completely factually accurate.)) 
Dakura[5:48:58 PM]: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! 
Dakura[5:49:02 PM]: yeah, I'm ready 
Dakura[5:49:15 PM]: ((riiiiight...)) 
Moonsword[5:49:20 PM]: Yeah... right.. 
willcoon[5:49:54 PM]: ((I for one expect total faccuracy here)) 
Friv[8:50:28 PM]: ((So... when we left off, Captain Hadren was making camp with you guys.)) 
Moonsword[5:50:46 PM]: ((Captain Hadren and the Archons, specifically.)) 
Friv[8:51:06 PM]: ((Hailey, being a bit uncertain at all of this, will be remarkably quiet, but follow along.)) 
willcoon[5:51:40 PM]: ((Also: are these guys an appropriate target for Confluence of Savant Thought?)) 
Moonsword[5:51:53 PM]: ((That sounds a lot like a band name... Captain Hadren and the Archons, I mean, think about it. They could be sold out in Nexus. :D )) 
Friv[8:53:21 PM]: ((Willcoon: Potentially, but at the moment they're just a military unit.)) 
willcoon[5:53:19 PM]: ((indeed!)) 
willcoon[5:53:27 PM]: ((oki)) 
willcoon[5:53:44 PM]: ((guess i'll hold off til we reach yukong)) 
Friv[8:54:38 PM]: The night has set, and the stars twinkle in the skies above. Hadren's men have a few small campfires going, as (I presume) do Tiger's. The men don't show any particular inclination to mingle with one another at the moment, though. 
Friv[8:55:26 PM]: Hadren, for his part, is sitting near the Havenite Exalts. His daiklave is sheathed back on his back, and he is currently cooking some meat and herbs in a small pot that was produced. 
Friv[8:57:31 PM]: He looks around the group, thoughtfully. "Where should I start...?" 
Moonsword[5:57:46 PM]: Quietly, faintly, Valeria murmurs, "At the beginning." 
Friv[8:58:54 PM]: "Easy to say..." Hadren trails off thoughtfully, before nodding and beginning his tale. "Well, let's see. You went into the Wyld about a hundred-odd years before everything changed." 
Delamerik Has entered the room 
Moonsword[5:59:32 PM]: "Changed?" she whispers. 
Delamerik[5:59:52 PM]: 'Eya. 
Friv[9:00:07 PM]: Hadren nods. "Scholars now call it the Time of Tumult. According to reports, it was monstrous." 
Friv[9:00:12 PM]: ((Yo.)) 
Friv[9:00:15 PM]: ((How goes?)) 
Moonsword[6:00:03 PM]: ((Welcome to the madhouse. Don't worry, the nice people in white coast will be along to give you candy soon, Delamerik.)) 
Delamerik[6:00:28 PM]: (( Har har. :P Sorry 'bout that guys *Silences* )) 
Friv[9:00:50 PM]: "It started with the dead. They rose from the shadowlands to attack the living. Thorns, Gem, Gethemane... one by one, great cities of the living fell before their advance." 
Friv[9:01:27 PM]: "Then the Anathema struck. They'd worked alliances with the dead, and as Lunar hordes struck from the edges of the world, the Solar Anathema rose up from forgotten corners to strike at our most vunerable points." 
Moonsword[6:01:20 PM]: ((Ah, yes, Gem. The only way Gem doesn't get nuked is if the rest of _Creation_ blows up instead.)) 
Dakura[6:01:28 PM]: "Couldn't the armies of the Realm stop them?" asked Errant Tiger. 
Friv[9:02:22 PM]: He shakes his head. "The Realm was in chaos. The Empress entered the Imperial Manse to rally her powers against them, and failed to return. For years, the Dynasty struggled to do battle without them, but there were enemies on all sides." 
Friv[9:02:53 PM]: "The Time of Tumult lasted for ten long years. It ended when the Empress escaped the confinements that the Anathema had placed on her and returned to the Realm." 
Friv[9:03:57 PM]: "At this point..." Hadren pauses, embarassedly. "Well, no one knows exactly what happened next. There weren't many witnesses." 
Friv[9:04:31 PM]: "But what is known is that the Empress tried to reach the Imperial Manse again, to turn its powers against the enemies of the Realm, and a veritable army of Anathema tried to stop her." 
Dakura[6:04:22 PM]: "Weren't many witnesses, or weren't many witnesses left to tell of it?" 
Friv[9:04:40 PM]: "The latter." 
Moonsword[6:04:51 PM]: "An army? Of those demons?" Valeria whispers, shocked. 
Friv[9:05:10 PM]: "Stories say that entire neighbourhoods of the Imperial City were destroyed in single blows, and that devastating sorceries were unleashed against her." 
Friv[9:05:34 PM]: "But she succeeded." Hadren smiles grimly, now. "She gained access to the Imperial Manse, and she brought its powers to bear. And then..." 
Friv[9:05:45 PM]: "And then it never turned off." 
Moonsword[6:05:58 PM]: "Never... turned... off...?" 
Moonsword[6:06:03 PM]: "What was it doing?" 
Friv[9:06:30 PM]: Hadren shrugs again. "Some people say the Empress died of her wounds inside the Manse. Others say that this was a deliberate action on her part." 
Friv[9:06:54 PM]: "Either way, the Manse's energies scorched across Creation, burning the shadowlands away, and shattered the hold the Anathema had on their powers." 
Friv[9:07:12 PM]: "It is said that a thousand pillars of light rose up into the air that way as their hosts were freed of their influence." 
Moonsword[6:07:40 PM]: ((So she got the Solar shards in Malfeas, too. _Impressive_.)) 
Friv[9:08:22 PM]: ((Unless the Solar shards from Malfeas were who was fighting for or against her...)) 
Friv[9:08:40 PM]: "Since then, there hasn't been a single Anathema seen in Creation. Their power is gone forever." 
Moonsword[6:08:53 PM]: "Forever... is a very long time..." Valeria whispers. 
Dakura[6:09:09 PM]: "Does that have something to do with the Sky Dragons you mentioned before?" 
Friv[9:09:34 PM]: Hadren sits back, nodding. "Indeed." 
Moonsword[6:10:02 PM]: ((Valeria whps off her mask, revealing herself to secretly be... Chejop Kejak after a sex change operation!)) 
Moonsword[6:10:08 PM]: ((:b )) 
Friv[9:10:40 PM]: "In the weeks and months following the activation of the Manse, people began to awaken across Creation with new powers. At first, it was thought that they were the Anathema returned, but though their powers seemed similar, they were far weaker, and lacked the markings of the demonic ones." 
Friv[9:10:45 PM]: "Allow me to demonstrate, if I may." 
willcoon[6:10:36 PM]: ((I thought she was the mirror flag? or was that skein...)) 
Friv[9:11:05 PM]: ((No, Skein is Raksi.)) 
Moonsword[6:11:43 PM]: ((Yeah, and if you think Valeria's some pansy-ass Chosen of Secrets, think again. :p )) 
Friv[9:12:17 PM]: Hadren closes his eyes for a moment, and then opens them. A thousand points of soft red light dance within them. A moment later, along his skin, in the same patterns held by the Dragon-Blooded, but instead of glowing elemental sigils, he has hundreds of soft points of light glowing their presence. 
Friv[9:12:35 PM]: ((*Re-reads that* Oy, terrible formatting on my part.)) 
Moonsword[6:12:44 PM]: Valeria's eyes widen as she straighten up abruptly. 
Moonsword[6:12:53 PM]: ((Elemental sigils? We have elemental sigils?)) 
Friv[9:13:23 PM]: ((When Dragon-Bloods spend small amounts of Peripheral, their breeding marks glow with elemental energy.)) 
Friv[9:13:33 PM]: ((That is what I was meaning to convey by "elemental sigils".)) 
Dakura[6:13:54 PM]: ((basically, the 'clues' that hint at his type start glowing, yes?)) 
Moonsword[6:13:55 PM]: ((My... breeding marks... cover my whole _freaking_ body... man.)) 
Friv[9:14:22 PM]: ((Well, yes, but that's more of a flaw.)) 
Delamerik Has exited the room 
Friv[9:14:30 PM]: ((Dakura: Yep.)) 
Moonsword[6:14:26 PM]: ((With that rule, Valeria turns into a frigging spotlight after spending like three or four motes.)) 
Friv[9:14:42 PM]: ((Well, it's a soft glow, not a beacon.)) 
Friv[9:14:56 PM]: ((It's the Dragon-Blooded equivalent of "glittering castemark")) 
Moonsword[6:15:39 PM]: ((Well, yeah, but you get the point. I was more seeing her eyes glowing silver-white, maybe some sparkles in her hair. Her skin starts taking on more of the texture of obsidian, that sort of thing. Not just Ms. [[McGlowsALot]].)) 
Friv[9:16:29 PM]: ((Well, given her odd markings, it could work like that for her. The standard is for the glowing breeding.)) 
Moonsword[6:17:23 PM]: ((Meh, sure. I didn't think they had "markings" in the same sense as Celestials, that's all. I had it pegged to secondary traits and elemental heightening in the background.)) 
willcoon[6:17:26 PM]: Skein is... intrigued by this development. 
Moonsword[6:18:30 PM]: ((Can I make an Int+Occult roll to see if I can recognize anything about the patterns on Hadren's skin?)) 
Dakura[6:19:10 PM]: "Do the color and patterns mean anything?" Tiger asked, gesturing to the display Hadren had just shown them. 
Friv[9:19:47 PM]: ((Moonsword: Go for it.)) 
Svadisatma Has entered the room 
Friv[9:20:26 PM]: Hadren nods. "The patterns, perhaps. Each of us is different. The colour marks which of the Sky Dragons mark my destiny." 
Svadisatma Has exited the room 
Friv[9:20:44 PM]: "I am of the Aspect of War, a defender of Creation set against those from beyond it." 
Friv[9:21:12 PM]: "There are four other Aspects of the Sky Dragons, each attuned to a different purpose." 
Moonsword[6:21:19 PM]: "Sky... Dragons...?" Valeria asks, staring at the patterns and trying to discern some hidden logic within them, drawing on the information her father drilled into her as a child. 
Friv[9:22:13 PM]: "The Immaculate Texts speak of it, in passing. The Anathema stole their powers from the Sky, draining away the great gods therein in a grotesque mockery of the Elemental Dragons of Creation." 
Moonsword[6:22:22 PM]: ((Friv? Can I make a roll?)) 
Friv[9:22:48 PM]: ((*nods, points up* Yep.)) 
willcoon[6:22:39 PM]: ((he has confirmed, yes)) 
Dakura[6:22:41 PM]: ((... the Maidens, which I assume this actually is from, were known I think... just not worshipped like the Elemental Dragons... so either it's another title of sorts, or... -shrugs-)) 
Friv[9:22:55 PM]: ((One die stunt.)) 
Friv[9:23:06 PM]: ((Well, you know how myths alter.)) 
Moonsword[6:23:00 PM]: ((I don't see you saying yes to it all.)) 
Moonsword[6:23:05 PM]: roll 7 10 
Friv[9:23:19 PM]: ((I said go for it.)) 
willcoon[6:23:16 PM]: (( / )) 
Friv[9:23:25 PM]: ((And don't forget the / before roll.)) 
Moonsword[6:23:27 PM]: ((Hmm... that's odd. I never got that message.)) 
Moonsword rolls 7 10-sided dice. The results are: 10 5 8 6 5 5 5 
Friv[9:23:48 PM]: ((That is odd.)) 
Moonsword[6:23:47 PM]: ((Three successes.)) 
Friv[9:25:30 PM]: Hadren smiles, now. "With the Anathema destroyed, that theft is undone, and the powers of the Sky are bestowed again." 
Moonsword[6:26:00 PM]: "And what of us?" Valeria asks softly. 
Moonsword[6:26:14 PM]: "The blooded children of the Five Dragons?" 
Friv[9:26:43 PM]: "They remain, although many of the greatest died when the Imperial City was destroyed." 
Moonsword[6:26:44 PM]: "What became of our kind?" the Terrestrial asks, fearing the specter that they are the last of the Dragon-Blooded. 
Friv[9:27:08 PM]: Hadren chuckles, then, once. "In truth, you still outnumber our own Exalted four to one. The Terrestrial blood remains strong..." 
willcoon[6:27:07 PM]: "So you're saying you are Exalted of a dragon kin to the Immaculates?" 
Moonsword[6:27:20 PM]: "The greatest were merely the oldest," Valeria notes. "In time, their loss could be replaced." 
Friv[9:27:28 PM]: "Kin to the Elemental Dragons, rather." 
Moonsword[6:27:44 PM]: ((The Immaculate Dragons _are_ the Elemental Dragons, goof.)) 
Friv[9:28:02 PM]: ((Actually, they aren't.)) 
Friv[9:28:09 PM]: ((They're just mortal manifestations of them.)) 
Friv[9:28:28 PM]: ((There's a whole section on it. ;) )) 
Moonsword[6:28:23 PM]: ((Well, yes, but they're considered part and parcel of the same being.)) 
Friv[9:29:13 PM]: ((It's sort of a Jesus and God thing. They both are and aren't the same.)) 
Dakura[6:29:07 PM]: ((moving on from OOC theological debate...)) 
Friv[9:29:46 PM]: ((Righto.)) 
Moonsword[6:29:45 PM]: ((Father, Son, Holy Ghost doing a mutual timeshare. Gotcha.)) 
willcoon[6:30:21 PM]: "... to the Elemental Dragons, then." 
willcoon[6:30:30 PM]: "Quite curious." 
Friv[9:31:13 PM]: Hadren nods. "Here, we have organized into the Arbiters of Fate. Although the Wall that the Imperial Manse raised around Creation is strong, others still slip through the cracks at many times, and our powers seem uniquely suited to fighting those who are not of Creation." 
Moonsword[6:31:05 PM]: "Were not the Elemental Dragons children of a greater being yet?" Valeria whispers, trying to remember. 
Moonsword[6:31:14 PM]: "A... mother... of sorts?" 
Friv[9:31:46 PM]: Hadren shrugs here. "Perhaps. I must admit, theology is not my strong suit." 
Dakura[6:32:11 PM]: "So this Wall protects from intrusion from the Wyld?" 
willcoon[6:32:13 PM]: "How beneficient. What manner of Wall is this, then?" 
Friv[9:33:02 PM]: Hadren gestures. "It is a wall of elemental Essence, stretching around Creation. I have never seen it myself, but some Exalted have ventured deep enough into the Middlemarches to find it." 
Friv[9:33:22 PM]: "Pockets of Wyld energy still exist within Creation, on this side of the Wall, but they are weaker than they once were." 
Moonsword[6:33:55 PM]: "Elemental...?" Valeria trails off curiously. "Then somehow, the power of the Five Dragons was awoken..." she muses, shaking her head and turning her attention back to Hadren's story. 
Friv[9:34:32 PM]: Hadren nods. "Unfortunately, the secular world did not fare so well as the spiritual after the Empress's passing." 
Friv[9:35:00 PM]: "When the Imperial City was destroyed, the leaders of all of the Realm's Great Houses were killed with it. With no clear succession, the Dynasty splintered." 
Friv[9:36:02 PM]: "As it stands, there are dozens of feuding daimyos scattered across Creation. Few have the power to hold more than a few major cities." 
Svadisatma Has entered the room 
Friv[9:37:15 PM]: "I don't know how many Dragon-Blooded there are in your legion, but you may be quite the power bloc yourselves." 
Friv[9:39:51 PM]: He pauses, checking his food, and then ladles it out onto a plate, offering the pot to the rest of the group. 
Moonsword[6:38:06 PM]: ((...hello?)) 
Dakura[6:38:06 PM]: ((-pokes the chatroom-)) 
Moonsword[6:38:11 PM]: ((...is anyone there?)) 
willcoon[6:38:32 PM]: ((hello? i've seen nothing since 'no fey')) 
Moonsword[6:38:38 PM]: ((Arrgh.)) 
Friv[9:40:33 PM]: ((Really?)0 
Friv[9:40:37 PM]: ((Can you see this?)) 
Dakura Has exited the room 
Friv Has exited the room 
Friv[9:40:58 PM]: ((Uh-oh.)) 
Dakura Has entered the room 
Friv Has entered the room 
Moonsword[6:40:49 PM]: ((Fey? I didn't see the word fey at all until you said that.)) 
willcoon[6:40:50 PM]: ((yes)) 
willcoon[6:41:02 PM]: ((fay rather)) 
Moonsword[6:41:06 PM]: ((Arrgh!) 
Dakura[6:41:19 PM]: ((I didn't see 'Fey' or 'Fay' either)) 
Friv[9:41:47 PM]: ((I didn't see Fey either. Who typed it?)) 
willcoon[6:41:39 PM]: Friv[6:33:17 PM]: "Pockets of Wyld energy still exist within Creation, on this side of the Wall, but they are weaker than they once were." 
willcoon[6:41:49 PM]: willcoon[9:33:38 PM]: "So, no Fay on this side of the Wall, then?" 
Friv[9:42:08 PM]: ((Ah, I didn't get that message.)) 
Friv[9:42:13 PM]: ((Oy.)) 
Moonsword[6:42:05 PM]: ((Didn't see you say it.)) 
Dakura[6:42:12 PM]: ((never saw it)) 
willcoon[6:42:20 PM]: (( X )) 
Friv[9:42:38 PM]: ((Alright, I'll reply to that and then repost the rest of Hadren's speech.)) 
Friv[9:43:00 PM]: Hadren laughs ruefully. "I wish that were the case. No, sadly, there are still fae, but they are weaker than the legends say they once were. 
Friv[9:43:13 PM]: "Unfortunately, the secular world did not fare so well as the spiritual after the Empress's passing." 
Friv[9:43:19 PM]: "When the Imperial City was destroyed, the leaders of all of the Realm's Great Houses were killed with it. With no clear succession, the Dynasty splintered." 
Friv[9:43:24 PM]: "As it stands, there are dozens of feuding daimyos scattered across Creation. Few have the power to hold more than a few major cities." 
Moonsword[6:43:20 PM]: ((...that's it. I'm going to try and engineer a more stable server if I can. Keep going, I'm still paying attention.)) 
Dakura[6:43:22 PM]: ((the last thing I had seen was my comment about the pathway to creation only opening a year ago, and then it was silent until Hadren checked the food)) 
Friv[9:43:30 PM]: "I don't know how many Dragon-Blooded there are in your legion, but you may be quite the power bloc yourselves." 
Friv[9:43:49 PM]: ((Oh, goddamn it. I didn't get the pathway comment either.)) 
Friv[9:44:08 PM]: ((Right, we're finding somewhere else to run this next session. This is absurd.)) 
Dakura[6:44:12 PM]: Dakura[9:37:01 PM]: Errant Tiger frowned as he considered. "The Wall might be what created the passage from Scarlet Haven back to Creation... but that was only a year ago it happened..." 
Moonsword[6:44:56 PM]: ((*is finding the right software to setup a chat server _right now_*)) 
Friv[9:45:28 PM]: Hadren considers Tiger's words thoughtfully, chewing on a piece of meat. "Well, the Wyld shifts locations as time passes. Perhaps your city drifted through the Wall, and protected as you were, you did not see it?" 
Friv[9:45:47 PM]: "Or perhaps another force opened the passage..." 
Moonsword[6:47:15 PM]: ((brb)) 
Moonsword Has exited the room 
Moonsword Has entered the room 
Dakura[6:47:55 PM]: The Wood-Aspect sighed and shrugged. "I certainly wouldn't know. I learned how to fight what comes from the Wyld, not study it." 
Friv[9:49:17 PM]: "Regardless, I suppose you'll have to decide what your next course of action is." 
Moonsword[6:49:27 PM]: ((Yo, favor time: could someone bounce a ping off 160.10.7.108 )) 
Friv[9:50:02 PM]: ((Checking.)) 
Friv[9:50:25 PM]: ((Got a time out. Register anything on your end?)) 
Moonsword[6:50:32 PM]: Valeria shrugs. "We were told to make contact with the Realm once more." 
Moonsword[6:50:50 PM]: ((No, I didn't notice anything. Point your browser at the following address: 
Moonsword[6:51:06 PM]: http://160.10.7.108/wiki 
Friv[9:51:27 PM]: ((*goes for it*)) 
Friv[9:52:01 PM]: ((Firefox does nothing. Trying IE.)) 
Friv[9:52:26 PM]: ((Nah, IE can't get in.)) 
Moonsword[6:52:46 PM]: ((It's being blocked somewhere between my system and yours.)) 
Moonsword[6:53:19 PM]: ((And it's not my router, either. 
Moonsword[6:53:48 PM]: ((ITS must have requests directed at on-campus IP addresses firewalled.)) 
Dakura[6:53:52 PM]: ((I'm not getting anything when I try. just a "cannot find server/page cannot be displayed")) 
Moonsword[6:54:31 PM]: ((Yeah. That's the problem.)) 
willcoon[6:55:59 PM]: ((do we all have aim?)) 
Moonsword[6:56:08 PM]: ((It's being blocked by the campus servers. Damn it.)) 
Moonsword[6:56:31 PM]: ((Yes.)) 
willcoon[6:57:13 PM]: ((shall we try that? and could someone/friv post the log up to where people started returning from the alternatue universe? 
Dakura[6:57:15 PM]: ((lets just continue for now, see if it at least holds)) 
Dakura[6:57:15 PM]: ((lets just continue for now, see if it at least holds)) 
Friv[9:58:28 PM]: ((*nods* http://exalted.xi.co.nz/wiki/wiki.pl?FrivYeti/DragonsSessionFive )) 
Friv[9:58:40 PM]: ((You'll have to hit modify for the log to not look like crap.)) 
willcoon[6:58:34 PM]: (9thanks)) 
Moonsword[6:59:22 PM]: ((I'll add break tags tags later.)) 
Dakura[6:59:37 PM]: ((so we're switching to AIM?)) 
Moonsword[7:00:16 PM]: ((I'm not sure what we're doing, really.)) 
willcoon[7:00:27 PM]: ((okay cool that worked)) 
Friv[10:00:44 PM]: ((All in favour of switching to AIM?)) 
Moonsword[7:00:52 PM]: ((Aye.)) 
willcoon[7:01:00 PM]: ((i'm okay with that)) 
Dakura[7:01:07 PM]: ((I'm fine either way, though I'd prefer to at least try to continue in here)) 
willcoon[7:01:42 PM]: ((we could try until we hit another wyld storm?)) 
Moonsword[7:02:16 PM]: ((Good idea, WC.)) 
Friv[10:03:28 PM]: ((Agreed, then.)) 
Friv[10:03:51 PM]: Hadren nods thoughtfully in response to Valeria's comment. "That could be difficult, depending on how you define it." 
Friv[10:04:08 PM]: "Across the Inner Sea, there are still those who consider themselves part of the Realm..." 
Dakura[7:05:30 PM]: "That's much too far for us to go, just for contact..." Errant Tiger said. "Do they have any outposts or embassies reletively close?" 
willcoon[7:06:22 PM]: "And who is in charge of this supposed Realm?" 
Friv[10:07:11 PM]: Hadren considers. "The last time I heard, the Realm considers their leader to be Ragara Jacun." 
Friv[10:07:31 PM]: "He's a little over two hundred and twenty, so he wouldn't have been born yet when you entered the Wyld." 
Friv[10:07:49 PM]: "I believe they have an embassy in Cherak, which is only about 8 or 9 hundred miles south of here." 
Moonsword[7:07:45 PM]: "A cousin of mine, then, it seems..." Valeria muses. 
Dakura[7:09:27 PM]: Errant Tiger shook his head. "Still too far. Maybe if only a few went they could make the distance in good time, but with all the soldiers under my command..." 
Friv[10:09:57 PM]: Hadren nods thoughtfully. "Well, there are always the two local daimyos." 
Moonsword[7:10:16 PM]: "How closely linked are these daimyos to the Realm?" Valeria asks. 
willcoon[7:10:21 PM]: "And yet, we can't turn back at this point. We should probably continue on to Mela's Blessing for the time being." 
Friv[10:10:47 PM]: "Well..." Hadren pauses and makes an uncomfortable expression. 
Dakura[7:10:47 PM]: "More important, how would they likely receive us?" 
Moonsword[7:11:17 PM]: "Yes...?" 
Friv[10:11:32 PM]: "Oh, I imagine they'll both be delighted. At first." 
Zeal Has entered the room 
Friv[10:12:05 PM]: "Well, Daimyo Yukong considers the Realm to be dangerously degenerate and lacking in proper understanding of the Immaculate ways." 
Moonsword[7:11:53 PM]: "At first?" Valeria probes. 
Friv[10:12:47 PM]: He pauses. "Look, I can't give much in the way of advice about Yukong. In my experience, he's a power-mad fanatic without the common sense I would ascribe to a leek." 
Zeal[7:12:40 PM]: ((Oh, there's a game in here. Didn't realize.)) 
Moonsword[7:12:46 PM]: "A fanatic. Lovely," Valeria hisses under her breath, barely audible. 
Dakura[7:12:56 PM]: ((feel free to watch)) 
willcoon[7:12:57 PM]: "I see. And what do you think, then? Where lies your order's allegiance?" 
Friv[10:13:13 PM]: ((Indeed, hang around.)) 
Moonsword[7:13:08 PM]: ((Eh. Feel free to watch.)) 
Friv[10:13:20 PM]: Hadren's laugh is harsh. 
Zeal Has exited the room 
Dakura[7:13:21 PM]: "And the other Daimyo?" 
willcoon[7:13:45 PM]: "I see. We'll have to be careful with him, then." 
Friv[10:13:52 PM]: "Yukong has publically stated that he considers the Arbiters to be "stealing Exaltations from their true recipiants". 
Friv[10:14:03 PM]: "He considers us Anathema, and has standing orders to kill us on sight." 
Friv[10:14:20 PM]: "Never mind how that's even possible..." He mutters the last under his breath. 
Moonsword[7:14:34 PM]: "And how, exactly, would someone manage to steal an Exaltation from a being kin to the Elemental Dragons?" Valeria says doubtfully. 
willcoon[7:14:44 PM]: "It certainly would be an impressive feat..." 
Friv[10:15:23 PM]: "Damned if I know." Hadren shrugs. "Yukong's attempts to breed himself an army of Dragon-Blooded aren't working, possibly because he doesn't actually have anyone worthy of BEING a Dragon-Blooded, so he reaches for excuses." 
Friv[10:15:29 PM]: "We are... convienient." 
Friv[10:15:39 PM]: "As for Urichos..." 
Friv[10:16:09 PM]: "Daimyo Urichos has little love for anyone with more might than himself." 
Friv[10:16:17 PM]: "However, he is friendly enough aside from that." 
Moonsword[7:16:24 PM]: "Are these Daimyos Exalted?" 
Moonsword Has exited the room 
Friv[10:16:53 PM]: Hadren nods. "Yes, and both have been Exalted since before the Wall rose." 
Friv[10:16:59 PM]: ((You there, Moonsword?)) 
Friv[10:18:14 PM]: ((ARGH.)) 
Jaito Has entered the room 
willcoon[7:18:35 PM]: (( X = | ))) 
Moonsword[7:19:04 PM]: ((*poke*)) 
Dakura[7:19:05 PM]: ((well this is just lovely...)) 
Jaito[7:19:07 PM]: ...I'm watching you peeeeeeeee... 
Friv[10:19:33 PM]: ((Can you read us, Moonsword?)) 
Jaito[7:19:32 PM]: or not 
Friv[10:19:40 PM]: ((You sort of vanished off our screen.)) 
Jaito[7:19:35 PM]: Sup, dooders? 
Friv[10:19:51 PM]: ((Welcome to the GAME DISASTER 2007!)) 
Friv[10:20:00 PM]: ((The chat is being excessively odd tonight.)) 
Jaito[7:20:04 PM]: ...eep. Something's going on... 
Moonsword[7:20:36 PM]: ((*poke*)) 
Jaito[7:20:42 PM]: My apologies. Off I go 
Friv[10:21:15 PM]: ((Hey, feel free to stay.)) 
Jaito Has exited the room 
Friv[10:21:26 PM]: ((We keep scaring folks off...)) 
Dakura[7:21:35 PM]: ((no, just you do that)) 
willcoon[7:21:49 PM]: ((no response by pm)) 
willcoon[7:22:46 PM]: ((we should migrate to aim, moon's on there and can't see us here)) 
Friv[10:23:06 PM]: ((Agreed.)) 
Dakura[7:23:27 PM]: ((sighs, and starts up the program)) 
Dakura Has exited the room 
Friv[10:24:43 PM]: See you in AIM. 

Moonsword134 has entered the room. 
[[FrivYeti]]: This is ridiculous. 
Moonsword134: Yes, yes it is. 
[[WillCoon]] has entered the room. 
[[WillCoon]]: H'okay 
[[FrivYeti]]: Dakura's logging on, and then we can resume. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Without explosions. 
Moonsword134: Hopefully. 
Moonsword134: Sorry I couldn't find a more useful solution. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Don't think AIM does dierolling, though, does it? 
Moonsword134: Unfortunately, ITS likes to block things. 
Moonsword134: *makes vague grasping motions as if choking someone* 
[[FrivYeti]]: Everyone have a White Wolf login? We can use the WW Exalted dieroller. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Also, the chat log on the wiki has been updated through the latest insanity. 
[[WillCoon]]: hehe 
[[FrivYeti]]: Gah, that's an atrocious smily. 
[[FrivYeti]]: I must never use that again. 
Moonsword134: It looks fine from here. 
[[WillCoon]]: er I don't think I have one of those 
Moonsword134: Of course, it helps that I'm not actually using AIM. 
Moonsword134: ^_^ 
[[FrivYeti]]: You lucky bastard. 
Moonsword134: Try Trillian. 
[[FrivYeti]]: It's this horrible animated winking... thing. 
Moonsword134: Yeah, I'm not seeing that. 
Moonsword134: Fortuantely. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Last time I tried Trillian, it exploded violently across my desktop. 
Moonsword134: Wow. 
Moonsword134: I've never seen it do _that_ before... 
Moonsword134: I'd suggest GAIM but that doesn't like group chat. 
[[FrivYeti]]: There. Graphic smileys are off. 
[[FrivYeti]]: *tests* ;) 
Moonsword134: Good man. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hahah. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Now, where's Dak gotten to? 
Moonsword134: ...the deep, dark recesses of the evil AIM universe? 
[[FrivYeti]]: Apparantly. 
[[FrivYeti]]: *sighs* 
[[FrivYeti]]: brb 
Moonsword134: Hmm... maybe this will work... 
Moonsword134: brb 
[[FrivYeti]]: *returns* 
Moonsword134 has left the room. 
Moonsword134 has entered the room. 
[[FrivYeti]]: wb 
[[WillCoon]]: -_-
[[FrivYeti]]: Yay! Everything's working PERFECTLY. 
[[WillCoon]]: <.< 
[[WillCoon]]: >.> 
Moonsword134 has left the room. 
Moonsword134 has entered the room. 
[[WillCoon]]: '_'' 
[[FrivYeti]]: Perfectly. 
Moonsword134: No, this is on my end, this time. 
[[WillCoon]]: totally no spiders 
Moonsword134: I was trying to see if I could get something to work by diking the router out of the loop but it didn't. 
Moonsword134: So... should we call it at the decision time? 
[[FrivYeti]]: Ooh, private message from Dakura! 
Moonsword134: Dakura! 
[[FrivYeti]]: His AIM program is screwy, and he is reinstalling. 
Moonsword134: Wherefore art though, Dakura! 
[[FrivYeti]]: *weeps softly* 
[[FrivYeti]]: Seriously. Gods hate us. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Anyway, I said we'd wait around and see how that goes before vanishing. 
Moonsword134: That's because you aren't stroking it right, Friv. 
[[FrivYeti]]: *is idly wondering how the game would have gone if it had been as planned* ((The plan being for Daimyo Yukong to "explain" what's going on instead of the Arbiters.)) 
Moonsword134: Given what we've heard, Yukong might have tried to force us, especially Valeria, into a breeding program. 
Moonsword134: That would _not_ have gone over well, either. 
Moonsword134: (I don't think anyone else has dots in Breeding, which is why I think he'd be more interested in her than anyone else.) 
[[FrivYeti]]: Well, you'll have to wait and see what Yukong thinks, if you decide to head in that direction. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Dakura's Wakoid, right? 
Moonsword134: Dunno. 
Wakoid2 has entered the room. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Well, let's hope my funny memory is good. 
[[WillCoon]]: \o/ 
[[FrivYeti]]: I mean, I've only got you four on my AIM list anyway. 
Moonsword134: Is it a Dakura or do I need to go find some more napalm? 
Moonsword134: The other guy's body's starting to make my bedroom smell like gasoline-soaked roast pork... 
Moonsword134: ^_^ 
Wakoid2: I AM THE MIGHTY DAKURA! TREMBLE BEFORE ME! 
Wakoid2: or, y'know, don't 
Moonsword134: Kill it! Kill it with fire! 
Moonsword134: Fire! 
Moonsword134: Fire fire fire fire fire! FIRE! 
Wakoid2: sorry. I've decided to be a fire-aspect now. fire doesn't work 
[[FrivYeti]]: Alright, shall we try to get back ICish? 
Moonsword134: /me has _really_ been drinking from the weird-shit-sauce today. 
Moonsword134: ((If you insist, my master.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((So, we left off with "Urichos has little love for those stronger than him, but is friendly enough.")) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((And that both Daimyos are Dragon-Blooded who were alive before the Wall came up.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((*pokes*)) 
Moonsword134: ((*has no further reaction at this time, is waiting for others' responses*)) 
[[WillCoon]]: "That is interesting. We'll have to be careful, but they could prove useful." 
Wakoid2: ((-is trying to fix a stupid problem with his laptop's touchpad...-)) 
[[WillCoon]]: "Now, as to your own organization, where is it located? You are allied neither with the daimyos nor the 'realm'?" 
[[FrivYeti]]: Captain Hadren nods, finishing his food. "Well, it varies from area to area. The Arbiters are a sort of Wyld Hunt, except that instead of hunting Anathema, we mostly fight the fae, and occasional demons that slip 
[[FrivYeti]]: through the cracks of the world." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "In some areas, whenever possible, this means co-operating with daimyos, without joining them." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "We're understood to be non-political." 
[[FrivYeti]]: At this, he chuckles. "That said, nowhere near all the Dragons of the Sky are Arbiters. Maybe a third or so." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "The rest have joined political organizations and generally entered Dragon-Blooded society." 
Moonsword134: "Then perhaps we would do well to contact your organization," Valeria says, frowning. 
Moonsword134: "What do you think?" she asks, turning to the other Dragon-Blooded. 
[[WillCoon]]: "Indeed. The Arbiters vouching for us is sure to deflect potential suspicion." 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren smiles wryly. "With many. It will also make you instant enemies with others." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Yukong, for example." 
Moonsword134: "From what you've said, Captain, it seems there is little we could do to avoid such a fate in any case." 
[[WillCoon]]: Skein shrugs. "Certainly, but he doesn't need to know we have your approval." 
Wakoid2: Errant Tiger looked at Hadren. "What might we expect in the way of support, if we did form an alliance with the Arbiters? What could be done for Scarlet Haven?" 
[[FrivYeti]]: "There is that." The captain leans forwards, thinking intently. "Well, we would have to map the region around your town. Depending on how secure it is, we could either set up patrols and trade routes, or evacuate 
[[FrivYeti]]: the population into a more stable part of Creation." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "We could also help set up a line of communication to the Realm. I'm sure they would be happy to have you back." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "And they _do_ speak with us, if a bit diffidently." 
[[WillCoon]]: "Assuming they are still acceptable as representatives of the Realm." 
Moonsword134: "Are they friendly to the Arbiters, then?" Valeria asks. 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Well... neutral." 
Moonsword134: "And, yes, there is the question of how the Realm has changed in the time we've lost..." Valeria notes. 
[[FrivYeti]]: "They don't trust us, because we haven't sworn allegiance to them. But we do work that they want done, so they grudgingly allow us passage." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "As for the changes... well, I wasn't alive back then. You'll have to judge that for yourself." 
Moonsword134: "None of us were, either." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Fair enough." 
[[WillCoon]]: "There are many possibilities, here. We stand at a crossroads." 
Wakoid2: "I'd rather not deal with Yukong. From the sound if it, if we aren't found in favor of his interpretation of the Immaculate Way, we're likely to end up in a bad situation with 
Wakoid2: him anyway," Errant Tiger said. 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren looks around thoughtfully. "Indeed. This is certainly not what I expected to find when I rode out here. If I might ask, how large _is_ your legion?" 
[[WillCoon]]: "As for the other Daimyo?" 
Moonsword134: "I'd just as soon not deal with fanatics in any case," Valeria mutters darkly. 
Moonsword134: "Most of our forces remained behind in Scarlet Haven," Valeria offers in response. 
Moonsword134: ((Just how big is our Legion, anyway?)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Dakura was just asking that. 10,000 citizens, including 2,500 soldiers and 27 Dragon-Blooded.)) 
Wakoid2: "Scarlet Haven has a population of about 10,000 men and women. Roughly a quarter of these are full time soldiers, and there are 27 Children of the Dragons, ourselves 
Wakoid2: included." 
[[FrivYeti]]: Captain Hadren Marell successfully chokes on air. 
[[WillCoon]]: Skein raises an eyebrow. 
[[FrivYeti]]: After a moment, he catches his breath and stares at the company, wide-eyed. "Ten THOUSAND?" 
Wakoid2: "Is something wrong?" Errant Tiger asked, concerned. 
Moonsword134: "I'm impressed," Valeria replies. 
Moonsword134: "Yes...?" 
Wakoid2: "Yes... I think that was the last survey report on the population..." 
Moonsword134: "It sounds right to me," Valeria tells Tiger, shrugging. 
[[FrivYeti]]: "You... there..." There is a short pause, as he gathers himself. "I'm sorry, it's just that you've been referring to yourself as the remnants of a Legion. I thought that there might be a few hundred, 
[[FrivYeti]]: with most of your Dragon-Blooded... well... here." 
[[WillCoon]]: "... Yes, how many did you expect?" 
Moonsword134: "Err, no," Valeria answers. 
[[FrivYeti]]: He sits back, still looking shocked. "Twenty-seven Dragon-Bloods. Dragons guide us..." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "You've just doubled the local Exalted population." 
Moonsword134: "...doubled?" Valeria says dubiously. 
Wakoid2: "A number of our elders died due to... a reaction to the passage opening, but..." He also looked up at the comment of 'doubling.' 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren nods firmly. "Fourteen in Mela's Bounty, nine in Urichos, and six Dragons of the Sky in this region." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "That's twenty-nine." 
Moonsword134: "A mere twenty Exalted?" 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Is that odd?" Hadren raises an eyebrow. 
Moonsword134: "Err, twenty-nine? Why is this region so sparsely populated?" 
[[WillCoon]]: "... Then how many, altogether? In Creation?" 
Moonsword134: Valeria shakes her head for a moment, thinking. 
Moonsword134: /me finds and gets out dice to make a roll. 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Sparsely..." Hadren trails off. "There are half a million people between the two nations. That's fairly standard for the north." 
Moonsword134: Valeria can't quite get a grip on the information she was looking for. 
Moonsword134: Perhaps a lingering manifestation of the migraine... 
Moonsword134: ((I was trying an Int+Lore roll to get a bit of info but no luck. Not a botch, either, though.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Exalted in Creation..." He trails off thoughtfully. "Oh, I don't know. Perhaps twenty thousand, maybe twenty-five." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Why?" 
Moonsword134: "How large a region are you talking about, then?" Valeria asks, realizing that there may be some confusion over what exactly is going on. 
Wakoid2: "I suppose that partially explains why the man you spoke to was so awed, Skein, if Dragon-Blooded are reletively uncommon in presence." 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren pulls out a map, which is mostly written over in Snowtongue, and spreads it out. "Well, this is the North. Cities are a bit further between one another. "Mela's Bounty covers these six city-states..." 
[[WillCoon]]: "Indeed. Perhaps it was a reasonable response, if we represent the largest force in this region." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "And Urichos is spread over these three here." He marks off areas of the map. 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((OOC: Not entirely sure about proper distribution, so assume that it's accurate for those cities.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((However, you do know that 29 Exalts for a population of half a million is about 1 for every 18,000 people.)) 
Wakoid2: ((how big are the areas compared to scarlet haven?)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Huge.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Scarlet Haven covers only one city worth of terrain. It has a radius of a little over five miles.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((The entire area could fit into any of the nine cities listed here.)) 
Wakoid2: Errant Tiger shook his head. "Our leaders are always a bit disappointed with the number of Exaltations that took place... but looking at this and seeing the numbers..." 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Let alone the gaps between them.)) 
[[WillCoon]]: "Then shall we make preparations for constructing an outpost ofthe Haven?" 
Wakoid2: "An outpost. By the Dragons, what for?" 
[[WillCoon]]: "To begin the relocation?" 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Uh...." 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren coughs politely. "That might be a bit more difficult than I had thought." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "Ten thousand people are a touch harder to find room for, you see..." 
Wakoid2: "We have yet to make a decision as to whom we would ally ourselves with, Skein, if we are to at all. And such a decision would be up to our leaders, not ourselves." 
Moonsword134: "Nor, for that matter, do we have enough information to even begin making a decision in the first place," Valeria whispers. 
[[WillCoon]]: "... The passage through the wyld may be closing even now." 
Moonsword134: "Then we must move _quickly_," Valeria replies. 
Wakoid2: "I worry more about the Fae, than the passage itself. It's been steady for a year, after all. Not to say it may not change, but still..." 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren stands smoothly. "I think you all have a lot to discuss, and you'll probably discuss better without me. I'm going to check on my men; will you tell me when you come to a decision?" 
[[WillCoon]]: "I have a question, Hadren, regarding the defense grid." 
Wakoid2: Errant Tiger nodded. "We will look for you if we have any further questions, as well..." 
[[WillCoon]]: "Do the Arbiters have any way of stabilizing the region of the passage to buy us time? Old technology, perhaps..?" 
[[WillCoon]]: "In case it begins to deteriorate." 
[[FrivYeti]]: Hadren shakes his head. "Not in any real amount. Some Sky Dragons have Charms to stablize the Wyld around themselves, though, by sneaking Creation through the gaps, and I'm sure they'd be happy to come and help." 
[[FrivYeti]]: "If the Wyld starts to encroach, we can certainly continue moving people through." 
[[WillCoon]]: "Excellent. Thank you, Hadren." 
Moonsword134: Valeria nods but says nothing more. 
[[FrivYeti]]: "It's the least I can do after our rather embarassing introduction." Hadren smiles easily, but there is a hint of embarrasment in his voice. 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((OOC: I'm going to suggest calling game here, so that Ambi can be present for the "What to do" argument. ;) )) 
Moonsword134: "You had little enough reason to expect a scouting party from a lost legion to come trhough," Valeria replies, the dryness in her tone clear even at the volume she speaks. 
Wakoid2: ((Ok with me)) 
Moonsword134: ((Fine.)) 
[[WillCoon]]: ((well and good)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Awesome. Five experience for everyone for sitting through that info-fest. And hopefully the insane fun of politics and war can start very soon. ;) )) 
[[WillCoon]]: ((Mwahahahahahah))) 
Wakoid2: ((heh 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Any OOC questions before we break for the night?)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Or comments?)) 
Moonsword134: ((No.)) 
[[WillCoon]]: ((None except awesome. 
Moonsword134: ((Yeah, this is getting interesting.)) 
[[WillCoon]]: ((What are we going to do tonight, brain...?)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Cool. Now, for announcement-type stuff. My sister is indeed in town next week, so I won't be able to run.)) 
Wakoid2: ((wondering what happened to the Maidens themselves. if there is a terrestrial presence in Yu Shan, I would have thought they'd be recognized by their original titles)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Assuming that the Sky Dragons are let into Yu-Shan.)) 
Moonsword134: ((If there's a Terrestrial presence.)) 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Our next session is going to be two weeks from today. Alrighty?)) 
[[WillCoon]]: ((yepyep)) 
Moonsword134: ((Sure.)) 
Wakoid2: k 
[[FrivYeti]]: ((Awesome. *waves* Then I'm going to head off. Good night, everyone!))

Back to [[FrivYeti]]

== The Cometary Exalted - Chosen of Tigranes, Harbingers of Victory ==

=== Table Of Contents ===

[[FrivYeti/CometaryHistory|Chapter One: History]] - The ancient history of Sedna and the Cometary Exalted. 
[[FrivYeti/CometaryAspect|Chapter Two: Aspect]] - The Essences and Exaltation of the Cometary Exalted, their Aspects, and the powers that they wield.

[[FrivYeti/CometaryTraits|Chapter Four: Traits]] - Special Backgrounds of the Cometaries, their anima banners and innate capabilities, and their Limit. 
[[FrivYeti/CometaryCharms|Chapter Five: Charms]] - The Charms that form the powers of the Cometary Exalted 
[[FrivYeti/CometarySTing|Chapter Six: Storytelling]] - Ideas for how to use the Cometary Exalted in your games. 

=== Brainstorming ===

This page is here because I am a maniac.

I am a maniac because I have decided to create another new type of Exalt - the Cometary Exalted. Why? Because the idea occured, and I was unable to remove it. Le argh.

At the moment, this is entirely a brainstorming page. Once I've got enough of a framework together, I'll start working on something more concrete to turn this into a proper project.

=== The Cometary Incarna ===

Hrm. This one is tricky. I'm thinking someone who spent centuries forging through the Wyld, scouting, exploring for new Primordials, and blazing his way across the endless reaches. His times in Creation were few, but he grew to hate the Primordials that kept screwing things up while he was gone. After the War, he left again on another trek through the Wyld... and failed to return?

=== The Cometary Aspects ===

Basically, I want to go WEIRD with this. Therefore, I have decided to go with the ultimate bizareness in Aspect. The Aspect of a Cometary Exalt is dependant on his Permanent Essence rating; as they grow in power, their purpose to the other Cometaries changes.

Essence 2: Impending Caste - Most defensive, to give them time to grow in power
Essence 3: Approaching Caste - Removes training times, something about understanding quickly?
Essence 4: Perigee Caste - battle-related powers
Essence 5: Departing Caste - stealth powers?
Essence 6: Apogee Caste - natural teachers

While I like Perigee and Apogee, I can't think of proper names for the other three.

Anima powers have to be something with generic utility. The key here is, given the way that people are going to be forced into aspect based on their Essence, it is critical to have anima powers as widely applicable as possible, without giving up their identity. This will, of course, be a monster to figure out.

Also, since aspect changes, cometaries have no aspect Attributes. Instead, they have only Favoured ones - I'm thinking one each from Physical, Social, and Mental.

=== Cometary Charm and Essence Purpose ===

Cometary Exalted don't have extended lifespans the way that the other Celestial Exalted do. Instead, the higher their Essence ratings become, the closer they become to death. Those who reach Essence 6 have only a few years left to live; their power burns through them rapidly, as their patron tries to match the power of the other Incarna within them.

This makes the Cometary Exalted the shock troops of the Celestials. Where the Solars led, the Lunars defended, and the Sidereals guided, the Cometaries struck. They leapt into the fray, opening pathways for the other Exalted to follow. Their arrival was an omen of the fall of their enemies, and they counter-attacked with ferocity.

Cometary Charms are thus made to shatter and break through the foes. They are in some ways a mix of Solars, Sidereals, and Abyssals; innately destructive, able to appear without warning and blast through their foes, and focused more towards offensive than defense. In fact, they may have the most potent counter-attack Charms and the least potent defenses of the Celstial Exalted. They are not good at maintaining a world once it is won, only in winning it. They are particularly not good at surviving that win, but there are always more Cometaries to follow. Those few who reach the higher tiers become subtle, passing their training and powers to their students before vanishing in a blaze of glory.

=== Cometary Charm Mechanics ===

Alright, so down to brass tacks. Cometary Charms are going to be Attribute-based, both because this allows for greater versatility for the Exalted, and because it makes the Lunars less alone on that front of the major Exalted. Also, because I like Attribute-based Charms. ;)

Cometary Charmsets are good at sudden appearances, breaking stuff, and inspiring others to break stuff. They differ from the Abyssals in that damage is more important than destruction; the primary purpose of the Cometaries was to open holes for others to exploit, although they can take advantage of those holes themselves. No slow corruption or necrotic Essence here. They're good at short-term persuasion, but their social effects tend to fall apart far faster than other Celestials'. They might be good at pre-attack sabotage...

Ah-hah. I have a plan. The Cometary shtick is hang-and-release effects. Many of their Charms require committed Essence in advance, and then can be released to activate the effect. They can hang these on both themselves and, in some cases, others - resulting in later-activated sabotage surprises.

=== Cometary History ===

===== Comments =====
Friv - Well, if you're going attribute-based, might I inquire about the patron a bit more? I once read a nice discussion of how attribute-based exalts were generally primordially-involved, and ability-based ones were celestially involved. Something along the lines that Alchemicals were entirely primordial-based, while Lunars, arguably a cross-breed of Luna and Gaia, have both some favored attributes and some favored abilities. It's always resonated well with me, due to the nature of both types. Something to consider, at least. As for hang-and-release effects, I might also mention a significant lack of scene-longs. Something more along the lines of the ability to use multiple charms per turn (perhaps like the Terrestrials, perhaps not), such that they maintain their charms by burning through essence, rather than simply fire-and-forget. Done right, there's a fine line as each turn you decide which protections and bonuses you need at a given moment. Just some thoughts that might help you out - or not! -- [[GreenLantern]]
: While the Attribute and Ability split is a neat theory, there is a major hole in it - the Dragon-Blooded. The Terrestrials are based entirely on the Five Dragons, which are souls of Gaia. I think the better idea is that Ability-based Exalts are those based on skill, while Attribute-based Exalts are based on power. If that makes sense. Solars, Dragon-Bloods, and Sidereals are designed to be increasingly ineffable, specializing into areas. Lunars and Alchemicals are much more likely to be generalists.
: I like the lack of scene-lengths as a fundament, even if it really messes with them. I was thinking of the hang-and-release as how Cometaries mainly get around Charm limits; by mixing those with instant effects, they have the ability to blast through effects and then they tap out. - [[FrivYeti]]
Along the lines of the Hang and Release charm, perhaps this could be their unique excellency. (like terrestrial reenforcement / essence auspicious / ability flow / and the lunar one I can't remember atm)
: Spectacular 'Attribute' Impact
::1+m, 1w, simple.
:Activating this charm the Cometary Exalt commits a number of motes, not to exceed his (Attribute + Essence). These motes can then be de-committed at a later time as a non charm reflexive action, releasing the commitment of a single mote releases them all. When the commitment is released a number of dice are added to a single roll equal to three times the number of motes that were committed.
This would give them a rather unique mechanic that allows for a single almighty roll, but not one that they can use very often. As it is a simple charm that is NOT combo-ok, it is not the sort of thing that is going to be refreshed in the middle of combat. However, if one manages to land a hit on his foe and then releases a strength impact that had say 12 motes committed, that would be an extra 36 dice of damage. I think it fits rather well with the cometary impact theme that they are supposed to have going. -- Rathmun
::I'm not sure I could get behind that entirely. As a basic charm, you're burning the willpower for what seems like one strike, and that's that. Many of the other 'uniques' all have much more lengthy effects. I'd wonder if perhaps allowing you to bleed off the points over time wouldn't be a smoother mechanic - essentially making a pool that you can draw from. Given the 'hang-and-release' nature Friv speaks of, in which you hang and release ''once'', the unique would then allow you to release multiple times, giving you a bit of a burn-time. Just my thoughts - no harm intended. -- GL
:::Actually, essence auspicious for the siddies costs a willpower to turn all the dice to successes. so I don't think costing a willpower is beyond reason. Also, given their role in the Exalted line of battle, I think that a single use could still work since they could withdraw back behind friendly lines after exhausting their resources. However, letting them hang multiple copies of "Spectacular 'Attribute' Impact" could work well I suspect. -- Rathmun
:: I like the term "Spectacular Attribute Impact", and I'll probably go with a mix of [[GreenLantern]] and [[Rathmun]]'s ideas - I've got to say, though, it'll have to have a die-adder cap of some sort on it. Adding 36 dice to an attack is kind of too much. To damage doubly so. - [[FrivYeti]]
::: true, perhaps the cap on comitted essence to any one copy should be essence, then at ess 6 you could add 18 dice, totaling at 30 dice for 15 sux average, once. I think that compares well to a solar at ess 6 with infinite mastery who can throw 24 dice for an entire scene, for the same cost as a cometary throwing 30 dice 4 times.
: Hello there, FrivYeti. I'd just like to ask if you've abandoned this project or not. I thought it was pretty awesome, and I'd like to see more from it. Plus, I'd like to ask some questions if you haven't... ^_^;-- [[User:Kuiper|Kuiper]]

:Usually, comets are in orbit about the sun, so they have the terms "Perihelion" and "Aphelion" rather than "Perigee" and "Apogee". --[[User:Puellanivis|Puellanivis]]

Cantos

2011-10-31T00:08:34Z

Xyphoid: Reverted edits by Reverse101 (Talk) to last revision by Ip68-227-67-199.no.no.cox.net

Background: 

As a child Cantos was a menace. Born to a farming hamlet outside of the city of Great Forks, many of the villagers could scarcly remember a more michievous kid to 'grace' the village. In him was a sort of restlesness that was horribly amplified by his natural intelligence as physical abilities. Back then it was clear that he was woefully under applied and ill at ease in a simple farming life. By age 7 his parents were relieved to have given him over to the Ascendant Order. Here Cantos flourished as the order saw to it that he was ever challenged to whatever abilities he would exhibit. His physical abilities were more than occupied by the labor and martial arts training that was standard to the order. His mental facilities were met by the study of philosophy and lore, until he became literate and scholarly in history and the tasks of the order. From this rigor a decidedly different Cantos emerged, with the same earnestness of his young self but markedly more temperate and controlled. From this childhood and adolesance he emerged a true monk and a valued member of the order, both active in its workings and wise beyond his years and continued on until he was 53 without any oversignificant events until current times.

His exaltation came, like many others of his kind, in a time of duress. Most of the order was engaged in a mission of mercy and healing to nearby Nexus, save for fellow priest Lendak and younger initiate and pupil to Cantos, Hubis who stayed behind to tend to the temple. Everyone else did not survive the brutal attack that occured that fateful morning. The bandits attacked in number and without warning. The martial abilities of the order availed them for only so long as they were felled by greater numbers and tactics. Cantos would surely have been among the slain but for the fact that he was in the rearguard. though his surrogate family were slain cruely and pointlessly around him, Cantos was able to break through their surrounding lines but he was pursued and harragned into a fighting retreat up against a ravine, where they drove him off over the edge and left him for dead, trusting the fall into the river to kill him. It was during this fateful fall that the power of the Unconquered Sun availed him to have him survive and begin his chronicle.

 Description: 

Cantos usually projects a serene, yet resolved visage to the world at large. His low brow and short and kept silver beard add to his contemplative nature, framed by his cleanly shaven head and deeply tanned skin, rough from years of exertion in the sun. Adorned in simple cotton monk robes, with ballooning trousers tied at his ankle to the socks and sandles at the bottom. A bandoler of wax prayer tablets fall over the dull white of his well worn priestly robes down to his belt made of thick yellow twine. The long sleeves that flair outward at is wrists conceal his chiseled muscles at his arms.

Just fyi (again) the links under nikink/characters are broken since the media wiki thinks they should translate to nikink/characters/charactername but the pages are actually on nikink/charactername. Minor, but could catch the unwary. [[nikink]] - also, spam! Already!?!? Making logins active will have to be a priority I guess. :(
: Can you create an account? I'm going to add the recaptcha spam filter first up [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 03:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
:: This has been added - you now require a captcha to add an extenral link, or register an account. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Nope - php errors when attempting to create an account. And darn it, so many of my pages are borked! Maybe I was creating them wrong in the first place? Hm. Ah well. [[nikink]] Also, running slow. Is that something to get used to with this version of software+hardware? Just curious. 
: Yep, account is now created. Adding the captcha fixed it. :) [[nikink]]
:: php errors were probably mid-captcha-installation. Speed, we'll see how it goes - there's more going on now, and this is on shared hosting now instead of having an entire server to itself. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]

I will have a look at bulk conversion of the /characters/charactername issue, whoops. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Sweet, it'd be great if that could be automated - my campaign pages have the same issue, and there's a LOT of links from them! Thanks for looking into it! :) [[nikink]] PS: and should we move our previous userpages to our new User:Name pages? Or just leave them as relics? Can they be redirected?
:: There may be a delay until the 22nd or so with this since I'm on holiday shortly, but I'll have a shot. You can redirect a page by putting <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[somelink]]</nowiki> as the only content - so you could redirect in either direction as you prefer. As there's no way of telling what's a userpage unless people actually create accounts, and there are so many historical userpages, I won't be automatically moving them. The main advantage to moving to the User:xx version is that you can take advantage of the autolinks from recent changes, and from typing 3 tildes in an edit. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
::I will have to keep playing with it. All very new and unfamiliar. :) I've notice tables are all broken, I suppose that's a minor detail; just need to learn to table in mediawiki. The list of orphaned pages is quite helpful in the meantime while you work on the scripted fix for the incorrect links. :) [[nikink]]

Whoa! Scared the daylights out of me when I went to edit my userpage, open from a while ago, and it was no longer there! Stuff looks absolutely great; I noticed that some of the charm formatting gets broken by the changeover. Is there a new text formatting or help page set up for what we should or should not do with the new system as opposed to the old? Man, and I was terrified enough trying to think of a way to edit and duplicate my stuff for the WW wiki; oh well, gives me a chance to go through and double check mechanics -- [[IsawaBrian]]
:There is an editing help button at the bottom of the mediawiki edit page. As for how to use it I think that's going to be an evolutionary process - I am way out of date as to how y'all are using this wiki, I've been mostly playing D&D4 for the last few years... [[Xyphoid]]
::Sadly, Help:Editting is a no-text page at the moment. Don't worry about it for now, though, man. Enjoy your wedding and the time after. Congratulations and felicitations; we'll be here when things achieve your new normal. I'll just see if I can find a commonality in the breakages. -- [[IsawaBrian]]
:::I've copied the editing page from the main mediawiki page over - some broken links but that's fixable. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]

So apologies for the quick changeover - I'm going to be at my wedding from Friday and away for a few weeks, and the server was going to probably be down during some of that time. I'll be seeing what I can get fixed before I leave, and then will catch up when I'm back. [[Xyphoid]]

Congrats on your wedding! When you get back, it would be helpful if you could make it so subpages contain backlinks to the parent page in the Main namespace, like they do in the user Namespace - [[User:Kraken|Kraken]]
:The issue is that subpages don't actually exist in mediawiki - they're just pages with slashes in their name. I'll have a poke at writing an extension to automatically create parent links. Should it go all the way to the top? (eg should the page <nowiki>[[Red/Blue/Green]]</nowiki> link back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki>? [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
:: Could you do both? <nowiki>[[Red/Blue/Green]]</nowiki> links back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki>, while <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki> links back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki>? I guess that depends on how many /'s can exist in one path. I haven't yet seen more than two, but I don't know definitively. [[nikink]]
::: The reason I brought it up is [[User:Kraken/SwiftFalcon/BP|this page]]. For User subpages, it seems to do so already. So something which did the breadcrumbs style thing for any page would be great. And the code should be there. Somewhere. [[User:Kraken|Kraken]]

*I don't know where to put this, so I will place this here. All the links I posted on my userpage are red links in the new document. Is everything I had lost? Or are they just moved till they can be found. Because seriously, I very much do not want to have to go over it all again just because there was a need to put the completely usable wiki into a new format. This is my user page, http://exalted.xi.co.nz/wiki/Heru . Assistance would be apprecai8ted.
:No need to panic, you haven't lost anything. In the section immediately below this you can see an area for links that need fixing. The links on your pages probably look like those. If they don't, add them to the list so Xyphoid can work on a script for them. In the meantime, you can get to your material by removing the middle section of the path. So <nowiki>[[Nikink/Characters/MettanAku]]</nowiki> is wrong link, but <nowiki>[[Nikink/MettanAku]]</nowiki> is correct address. Also, this wasn't a transition made 'on a whim', or just because Xyphoid felt mean. He had valid reason for the switch and the suddenness of it. :) [[nikink]]
::Yep, my apologies for the relatively abrupt transition, but the alternative was a high chance of the wiki being down completely for several weeks while I was away. [[Xyphoid]]
::: Also, I know a few people were after a dump of the entire wiki for backup / peace of mind purposes - there is a file 'exwiki_import.xml' in the root of the site, which can be imported directly into mediawiki. Let me know if you need a more up to date version. [[Xyphoid]]

== Links needing fixing ==

Please list types of links that need to be fixed by scripting, along with an example page.

* <nowiki>[[[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass/SaGHistory1]] | The First Age; From the Fall of the Primordials to the Great Contagion.]]</nowiki> - non-subpage links with descriptions, see [[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass]]

* <nowiki>[[Nikink/Characters/MettanAku]]</nowiki> - <nowiki>[[/MettanAku]]</nowiki> links on [[Nikink/Characters]], it appears /xxx should always link to the top level page even on zzz/yyy

== Other requests ==

* Automatic backlinks from child pages (anything of the name xxx/xxx) to the parent page

So apologies for the quick changeover - I'm going to be at my wedding from Friday and away for a few weeks, and the server was going to probably be down during some of that time. I'll be seeing what I can get fixed before I leave, and then will catch up when I'm back. [[Xyphoid]]

Congrats on your wedding! When you get back, it would be helpful if you could make it so subpages contain backlinks to the parent page in the Main namespace, like they do in the user Namespace - [[User:Kraken|Kraken]]
:The issue is that subpages don't actually exist in mediawiki - they're just pages with slashes in their name. I'll have a poke at writing an extension to automatically create parent links. Should it go all the way to the top? (eg should the page <nowiki>[[Red/Blue/Green]]</nowiki> link back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki>? [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
:: Could you do both? <nowiki>[[Red/Blue/Green]]</nowiki> links back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki>, while <nowiki>[[Red/Blue]]</nowiki> links back to <nowiki>[[Red]]</nowiki>? I guess that depends on how many /'s can exist in one path. I haven't yet seen more than two, but I don't know definitively. [[nikink]]
::: The reason I brought it up is [[User:Kraken/SwiftFalcon/BP|this page]]. For User subpages, it seems to do so already. So something which did the breadcrumbs style thing for any page would be great. And the code should be there. Somewhere. [[User:Kraken|Kraken]]

*I don't know where to put this, so I will place this here. All the links I posted on my userpage are red links in the new document. Is everything I had lost? Or are they just moved till they can be found. Because seriously, I very much do not want to have to go over it all again just because there was a need to put the completely usable wiki into a new format. This is my user page, http://exalted.xi.co.nz/wiki/Heru . Assistance would be apprecai8ted.
:No need to panic, you haven't lost anything. In the section immediately below this you can see an area for links that need fixing. The links on your pages probably look like those. If they don't, add them to the list so Xyphoid can work on a script for them. In the meantime, you can get to your material by removing the middle section of the path. So <nowiki>[[Nikink/Characters/MettanAku]]</nowiki> is wrong link, but <nowiki>[[Nikink/MettanAku]]</nowiki> is correct address. Also, this wasn't a transition made 'on a whim', or just because Xyphoid felt mean. He had valid reason for the switch and the suddenness of it. :) [[nikink]]
::Yep, my apologies for the relatively abrupt transition, but the alternative was a high chance of the wiki being down completely for several weeks while I was away. [[Xyphoid]]

== Links needing fixing ==

Please list types of links that need to be fixed by scripting, along with an example page.

* <nowiki>[[[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass/SaGHistory1]] | The First Age; From the Fall of the Primordials to the Great Contagion.]]</nowiki> - non-subpage links with descriptions, see [[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass]]

* <nowiki>[[Nikink/Characters/MettanAku]]</nowiki> - <nowiki>[[/MettanAku]]</nowiki> links on [[Nikink/Characters]], it appears /xxx should always link to the top level page even on zzz/yyy

Xyphoid:

(pre-conversion discussion at [[Xyphoid/MediawikiConversionHistory]])

== Post-conversion ==

Just fyi (again) the links under nikink/characters are broken since the media wiki thinks they should translate to nikink/characters/charactername but the pages are actually on nikink/charactername. Minor, but could catch the unwary. [[nikink]] - also, spam! Already!?!? Making logins active will have to be a priority I guess. :(
: Can you create an account? I'm going to add the recaptcha spam filter first up [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 03:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
:: This has been added - you now require a captcha to add an extenral link, or register an account. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Nope - php errors when attempting to create an account. And darn it, so many of my pages are borked! Maybe I was creating them wrong in the first place? Hm. Ah well. [[nikink]] Also, running slow. Is that something to get used to with this version of software+hardware? Just curious. 
: Yep, account is now created. Adding the captcha fixed it. :) [[nikink]]
:: php errors were probably mid-captcha-installation. Speed, we'll see how it goes - there's more going on now, and this is on shared hosting now instead of having an entire server to itself. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]

I will have a look at bulk conversion of the /characters/charactername issue, whoops. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Sweet, it'd be great if that could be automated - my campaign pages have the same issue, and there's a LOT of links from them! Thanks for looking into it! :) [[nikink]] PS: and should we move our previous userpages to our new User:Name pages? Or just leave them as relics? Can they be redirected?
:: There may be a delay until the 22nd or so with this since I'm on holiday shortly, but I'll have a shot. You can redirect a page by putting <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[somelink]]</nowiki> as the only content - so you could redirect in either direction as you prefer.

This is the editing help from [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing]

'''Editing''' refers to the changing of a page by a Wikimedia user. Unless certain restrictions are in effect, such as [[protection]], all pages are editable, by everyone. This is a brief overview of that process. The editing table of contents to the right contains more information on editing functions.

== Restrictions ==
Some pages cannot be edited by everyone. A special function known as [[protection]] can be applied to a page by [[administrator]]s, making the said page uneditable to certain classes of users. There are several degrees of protection:
*If a page is semiprotected, it can be edited by everyone except IPs and accounts that have not yet been [[autoconfirmation|confirmed]].
*If a page is fully protected, only other admins can make edits to the page.
*A page can also be protected so that it cannot be [[move|moved]].
*In some cases, an admin might see fit to protect a page from being created.
*For very rare pages, such as the Main Page, "cascading" protection is applied, wherein every page that is [[transcluded]] onto a page is protected too.
There are various reasons why a page might be protected. Vandalism and spam can lead to semiprotection, while content wars and other severe cases can lead to full protection. There are other times where [[Office actions]] come into play. For the most part, protection is temporary and editing privileges are then restored. In any case, everyone can [[view source|view the source]] of any page, irrespective of its level of protection.

Xyphoid: moved pre-merge conversation

== Start -> 6 Apr 2010 ==

So, hosting usemod is becoming harder and harder. I'm trying out the mediawiki site conversion tools, as it would be much easier to host that way. Comments? Feedback? - [[Xyphoid]]

=== Comments ===
What makes it harder? I use both this wiki and [[MediaWiki]] pretty extensively, and I must say that this place seems snappier and cleaner, at least. Plus, there's the advantage of not having to re-write a bunch of the sections to fit the different syntax. At the same time, it's your server and time and money. Is it security updates, or some such? I would've guessed that this place didn't need much work anymore... -- [[GreenLantern]]

The server it's currently running on will be retired in the near future, so I have to do some work in either case. I have a couple of choices - one is find another place to run usemod, the other is migrate to something else. Usemod is a perl CGI script writing to disk - this is pretty much unique among the stuff we have, and it doesn't suit our load-balancing and configuration. Mediawiki is php+mysql, which is what our main cluster is designed for. Basically I can keep mediawiki with the rest of my hosted content, but soon I won't have a good place for usemod.

Another option is that if someone else has a good place to host usemod wikis, I can pass it over to them.

I ran a test of the conversion and it appears promising at first glance - http://exalted-new.xi.co.nz/exwiki/index.php/WelcomeToExaltedWiki - note that any changes made to that copy will be lost for now as there were some errors reading pages starting with M. There are some obvious layout errors to work out, I'd be interested to hear about any conversion issues with particular pages that people spot (broken links, broken wiki formatting conversion) -- [[Xyphoid]]

I've just checked out my userpage as a first step, and first thing to notice is that any link on my userpage that starts with / is broken. It seems the pages actually exist if I type into the url bar, "http://exalted-new.xi.co.nz/exwiki/index.php/Nikink/TrialByFireNotes" but the mediawiki obviously doesn't recognise the '/' format. I'm surprised the conversion worked so well actually, well done! :) [[nikink]]
:I also observed this phenomenon. A simple solution is to enter the name of the page you are slash-linking off of in front of the dash, e.g. <nowiki>[[Nikink/TrialByFireNotes]]</nowiki> as opposed to just <nowiki[[Xyphoid/MediawikiConversion/TrialByFireNotes]]</nowiki>. So it's just another layout problem that might need to be fixed by hand. - [[Han'ya]]

Xyphoid/MediawikiConversion

Xyphoid:

So, hosting usemod is becoming harder and harder. I'm trying out the mediawiki site conversion tools, as it would be much easier to host that way. Comments? Feedback? - [[Xyphoid]]

=== Comments ===
What makes it harder? I use both this wiki and [[MediaWiki]] pretty extensively, and I must say that this place seems snappier and cleaner, at least. Plus, there's the advantage of not having to re-write a bunch of the sections to fit the different syntax. At the same time, it's your server and time and money. Is it security updates, or some such? I would've guessed that this place didn't need much work anymore... -- [[GreenLantern]]

The server it's currently running on will be retired in the near future, so I have to do some work in either case. I have a couple of choices - one is find another place to run usemod, the other is migrate to something else.

Just fyi (again) the links under nikink/characters are broken since the media wiki thinks they should translate to nikink/characters/charactername but the pages are actually on nikink/charactername. Minor, but could catch the unwary. [[nikink]] - also, spam! Already!?!? Making logins active will have to be a priority I guess. :(
: Can you create an account? I'm going to add the recaptcha spam filter first up [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]] 03:50, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
:: This has been added - you now require a captcha to add an extenral link, or register an account. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Nope - php errors when attempting to create an account. And darn it, so many of my pages are borked! Maybe I was creating them wrong in the first place? Hm. Ah well. [[nikink]] Also, running slow. Is that something to get used to with this version of software+hardware? Just curious. 
: Yep, account is now created. Adding the captcha fixed it. :) [[nikink]]
:: php errors were probably mid-captcha-installation. Speed, we'll see how it goes - there's more going on now, and this is on shared hosting now instead of having an entire server to itself. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]

I will have a look at bulk conversion of the /characters/charactername issue, whoops. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]
: Sweet, it'd be great if that could be automated - my campaign pages have the same issue, and there's a LOT of links from them! Thanks for looking into it! :) [[nikink]] PS: and should we move our previous userpages to our new User:Name pages? Or just leave them as relics? Can they be redirected?
:: There may be a delay until the 22nd or so with this since I'm on holiday shortly, but I'll have a shot. You can redirect a page by putting <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[somelink]]</nowiki> as the only content - so you could redirect in either direction as you prefer. As there's no way of telling what's a userpage unless people actually create accounts, and there are so many historical userpages, I won't be automatically moving them. The main advantage to moving to the User:xx version is that you can take advantage of the autolinks from recent changes, and from typing 3 tildes in an edit. [[User:Xyphoid|Xyphoid]]

== Links needing fixing ==

Please list types of links that need to be fixed, along with an example page.

* <nowiki>[[[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass/SaGHistory1]] | The First Age; From the Fall of the Primordials to the Great Contagion.]]</nowiki> - non-subpage links with descriptions, see [[FrivYeti/SteelAndGlass]]

* <nowiki>[[Nikink/Characters/MettanAku]]</nowiki> - <nowiki>[[/MettanAku]]</nowiki> links on [[Nikink/Characters]], it appears /xxx should always link to the top level page even on zzz/yyy

Xyphoid: response

It sucks a lot. Best thing to do is, if you see it, fix it. Go to the revision before the spam, and save it. It's annoying, though.

I wonder if they've gotten even a single clickthrough on those. Sometimes I think spammers just do it for a power trip, rather than any kind of advertisement.

Grrr.

--TedPro

See also: [[Discussions/WikiSpam]] if you have questions. Chances are they're answered there. For one thing, it will tell you how to easily despam a page (without needing to go all crazy with the select-all button, either!) and for another, it will give you information to help figure out what can feasibly be done.

----

First success for the antispam:

170.224.224.117 - - [10/Mar/2005:14:56:07 +1300] "GET /wiki/wiki.pl?action=browse&diff=1&id=SuzumeAbilities HTTP/1.0" 200 24005 "http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:pl%3Faction%3Dbrowse+porn&hl=en&lr=&start=20&sa=N" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

So, they searched Google for 'inurl:pl?action=browse porn', got SuzumeAbilities, tried to deface it (lots of porn links), were bounced, and I was notified. -- [[Xyphoid]]

--

Right, so bare URL's get turned into links even without brackets around them. I wasn't detecting bare URL's in my spamtrap (which is rejecting 30-50 edits a day so far), and so it missed this one. To fix. -- [[Xyphoid]]

Looks like the spammers found a crack to slip through. I just unspammed a couple pages that had 3 spam links at the bottom of them. Granted 3 links at the bottom of the page is 10 times better then 1000 links replacing an entire page, but I just thought everyone should be aware. --DarkWolff

:Yeah, it seems they found the google hole. At least all the links go through it. Looks like some sorta bot network. Anyway one could make it so people have to be set by an admin to be able to post external links? Gah. Spammers make me ill! -FlowsLikeBits, yes, it's evil, but this is STUPID evil

:: I've reduced the number of external links you can add at once again - I'd increased it recently. [[Xyphoid]]
::: Hah, 25 more attempts in the last 20 minutes - I guess whoever's actually doing the edit attempts gets paid either way, so good luck to them. [[Xyphoid]]

--
The latest spam page (2/11/2005) got through once because it appears to clear large pages before adding the links (small pages it just added the links to, tripping the filter.) To handle this, I'll need to check the actual urls instead of the difference in number of urls added - hopefully this week.

In order to help fix this kind of thing, if you set the administrator password in your prefs to the name of the game, you're exempted from the link check, which should let you revert the page in one go. I'm assuming the spammers aren't reading this, of course - if they are, we'll notice pretty quickly, and i'll change the password to something more obscure. [[Xyphoid]]

Got a question, what is the administrator password, I'll understand if it has to be kept a secret. So, the question then comes, how do we get ahold of it when we need it? ~ [[Haku]]

Just 'exalted'. If it gets used for spam, I'll change it to a password out of the corebook. - [[Xyphoid]]

Cool, that works for me. ^_^ ~ [[haku]]

I dont know if you realise but I have several large eggshells out back - wanna try some

Fairly large spam attack today. Spammer would put one link at the bottom of the page. All pages seem to be clean now. Based on today's incident, I feel the need to ask if setting up the wiki to only be editted by users logged in (with a decent registration identification) is still out of the question. --DarkWolff

Damn it - the big spam runs always happen while I'm asleep. I've locked the wiki so you'll need to use the editor password as above (set it in the 'administrator password' box on your prefs page). Will look at other solutions - I don't want to force registration. - Xyphoid

Xyphoid/Ideas

2005-12-04T21:42:23Z

Xyphoid: *

Graces as modular character component kick ass, especially when you can discover new Graces. It gives players an interesting, unique character advancement option.

A normal Exalt is (souls) + (Exaltation) + (body)
A normal raksha is (Graces)
A raksha with mutations is (Graces) + (body)

Add Graces to an exalt, and you become something new. If you want to become a raksha and learn non-feeding charms, you'll need to file off some or all of your superfluous components - probably your souls.

There are probably first-age solars who've done this, and are now seventeen creations over with custom graces like Wheat and Pillar. Either through finding new graces in the wyld, or customising their standard graces in Creation - after all, graces are artifacts, and Solars have incredible craft charms.

Xyphoid: removing old revision

== Sound-Mesh Style ==

* back to [[Shataina]].
* back to MartialArts.
* back to CelestialMartialArts.

This style has been removed by its author, but the comments have been left.

=== Comments ===

This Style sounds awesome!! Need any assistance with charms? After reading this I got a whole mess of Ideas for charms of this Style. - [[Issaru]] Thinks the Quantum Physics geek in him is showing.

<Wants to help, too!> Wicked nifty! ^_^ As for the linguistics thing, craft poetry is, IMHO (being a linguist and such), the better choice for a co-req ability. Linguistics, while it does inform one's ability to produce Language, is not ultimately concerned with poetry. Craft poetry, representing the practical skills of assembling verse using the tools of rhyme, meter, and symbolism, is. What do you have in mind for a total number of charms, [[Shataina|S]]? Any particular whacky ones you want? Also, what do you want for the Form charm? Let me know, as this has really caught my imagination! ^_^ -[[Suzume]]

:<grin> And here I thought that not putting these edits on RecentChanges would keep this page a secret. Oh well! I'm glad you guys like what I've got; I mostly didn't publicize it because I figured no one would care. Okay. So, to start with, I'm going to want these Charms to be slightly more powerful than normal Martial Arts Charms, because they have two prerequisites instead of one. I think this is also justified by the few Charms we have with multiple prerequisite Ability totals (World Within A Picture Style -- I think that's what it's called? -- comes to mind.) That's going to be one of the up sides of actually bothering to learn this Style. I'm really not very good at Charm balance in general (although I can recognize egregiousness when I see it); [[Morpheus]] will heavily inform my work in this regard (especially since I see him all the time), which is not to say that your comments on balance aren't welcome. I'm sure I'll need them! I would absolutely love ideas for Charms. The skeleton Training notes I have above reflect the ideas that I have so far -- those ideas are very formless. I'm thinking that the initial Charm will aid in performance and improvised poetry, probably something along the lines of adding dice to a single performance attempt, although I'm not married to this (I just figured it might be the best idea for the initial Charm since it's both weak and defining, as per [[/MACreationGuide|RSB's general guidelines]]). The Charms immediately after this will be along the lines of "enchant and lull" -- probably one that makes the target sleepy, probably one that inspires emotion, etc. Then we get into "dissonance", which the Adept starts to understand after harmonics; I'm thinking this will give rise to Charms that multiply damage (the target is rent from inside by dissonance), Charms that confuse and disturb people, and one Charm that has an effect along the lines of "Force Decision" -- it gets you to do something, but only by acting on your reflexes and basic instincts with sound (this will probably be the "bridge" Charm between harmony and dissonance). Probably, the Form will be either there (and will involve something like the user being able to walk in harmony or disharmony as she chooses -- God only knows what that will mean -- probably at least letting her choose lethal or bashing) or I will wait until I get into the Master techniques and put the Form there (thereby creating a slightly more powerful but harder-to-get Form, along the lines of [[/BitterFlowerStyle|willows's Bitter Flower Style]]). I like the second option because I think that way the Form might express the Style better, but on the other hand it'll be harder to balance against other Forms, and it's probably not such a good idea in terms of balancing the Style as a whole. So, in the end I'll probably go with the first option. Okay. So then after those dissonance Charms we get into the Master techniques, which are going to be the really abstract and postmodern ones. These depend on simplicity and silence. This is where the madness effects go, and I'm figuring at least one Charm that like ... makes the target fall apart because they have neither harmony nor disharmony and there's nothing holding them together ... or something. And I have to have a Charm called "Impending Silence" because that's just cool. I don't really care that much about total number of Charms, although I would prefer that the Charm tree be symmetrical because, umm, just because. I tried to draw up a Charm tree for this some time ago and it ended up around 12 Charms, but that was probably because I was modelling it on the Elemental Styles. I definitely want to go through these three stages, though, and I also want there to eventually be a couple of "secret" Charms at the end that do egregious things -- something like conjuration effects through the power of sound (Quicksilver Scribe summons a web of enchanted bronze runes to entangle her enemies), etc. These will, by the way, be the ones that Quicksilver Scribe particularly used illegal sorcerous effects with and made some evil bargains for, although I figure she probably worked with the Weaver of Voices to develop this entire Style. :) I should note a couple changes I've made to the above description -- I discussed focuses a little bit (this is based on one of Morpheus's systems) and I also noted that this is a mainly offensive style. I'm not saying that there won't be any defensive Charms, and I'm also not saying that poetry / whatever can't be used to defend, but First Age Quicksilver Scribe developed it, and she was kind of an "offensive", direct person at the time. Wow this is a long comment. On to specific responses. [[Issaru]] -- physics geeks rule, and I still would love your input, but I should note that I'd generally prefer to avoid "scientific" kinds of Charms and focus on the esoteric, mystical effects of sound and poetry as related to the Martial Arts. However, I don't care if a Charm is scientifically accurate as long as it works the other way too. [[Suzume]] -- I definitely agree with you on the poetry thing -- Linguistics isn't really that relevant to poetry at all. It's kind of set out to be the poetry Ability in the Core, though, and I can understand from a game balance point of view why some gaming groups would prefer to have Linguistics be the poetry Ability (because then they're not screwing themselves by taking an Ability that's almost entirely useless in the average game). Thank you both! I look forward to your ideas. ~ [[Shataina]] PS: Added an initial idea for a Charm tree.

::No problem I love working on.....everything (I'm such a whore for Exalted, especially crunch). my Ideas will be on [[Issaru/MadRamblings|this]] page. - [[Issaru]]

Have you ever heard of the throat-singers of Tuva? (Tuva is a little region in Asian Siberia.) The throat-singers have trained themselves to amplify or mute (even to the point of deleting) portions of the normal harmonic range of the human voice (and apparently, at least to some degree, with certain instruments that rely on the human oral cavity to form their sound chamber, the best example of which is a sort of mouth-harp), to the point where they produce eerie, inhuman-sounding songs, complete with lyrics. Some of these singers are able to harmonize with themselves, even, as they separate the sounds produced into much more widely divided bands of formants. Also particularly interesting is a phenomenon where the singer will delete all formants except the first (the lowest), rendering his voice into something that sounds like a diggery-do (I know I've misspelled that; help, anyone who knows the correct spelling...), low and buzzing and haunted. Or when he will delete everything but the top one or two formants, turning his voice into a high-pitched whistle or buzz, the sort of sound one might expect from a hunting lure, or the like. The point of all this, is that the singer must undergo years of intense training to be considered competent, very like learning a martial art. The similarity just sort of struck me. ^_^ Also, this sort of information might serve as a source of ideas for effects for the charms in the style. For example, in a more mystic sense, the martial artist deletes the mystic portions of her voice that reinforce some harmonious aspect of the target, causing that aspect to collapse or reverse or something. Or the reinforcement of some aspect of the voice affects the mind of the target, forcing her to make a decision (a la the pre-form charm you mentioned). Other ideas include forcing the target to utilize one of her virtues in place of an ability or attribute in some roll (like a dodge, attack or the like) as the words of the martial artist incite some emotion or other. The idea of the monk reciting utterly potent limmericks forcing her target to use temperance instead of dodge in a dodge attempt is just too good... ^_^ One other thing: Why not two form charms, one a lesser, one a greater, or some such? Having the greater form just before the ultimate technique would seem to be a good place, although anywhere in the upper tree seems like it would be a good too. Just some thoughts. -[[Suzume]] ps. Issaru started to comment while I was still writing. ^_^ Isn' it great when ya get this kinda lovin'?

:Wow, that's incredibly cool. I've never heard of them! They sound like such a science fictiony concept! Thank you so much for the reference ... I will now learn about them with a vengeance. Do you know of anyplace that I can find recordings of these marvelous people? (Also, I believe it's didgeridoo ... <checks> Yes it is, although dictionary.com notes that "didjeridoo" is also acceptable.) I dunno about the forcing alternate rolls with Virtues thing. In terms of emotional incitement, I'm probably going to just have that effect be that you have to override your Virtues if the Stylist succeeds in evoking your emotions. The idea of forcing people to roll Virtues in place of another dice pool is interesting, though -- I'm just not convinced it's the best way to do that particular Charm. Any ideas for a more esoteric Charm that might work that way? Perhaps a dissonance Charm could do something like that ... maybe confusing a target into thinking one Virtue is appropriate rather than another (or something) .... A lesser and a greater form? Now that's iconoclastic. Very cool! Although I guess it basically just translates an extra scene-long Charm with "Form" in the title, which would mean that you couldn't invoke the two of them at once ... hmm. Maybe I'll have the Form itself be one Charm that gains an extra effect once you master the Style, so that you have a lesser Form that everyone who knows the Form knows, and then a greater Form that only the Master can execute. What do you think? ~ [[Shataina]] PS: mm ... tasty lovin' ....

::The album (and eponymous movie) Ghengis Blues is somewhat related (has a couple of the traditional songs, at least), being a record of a blues singer that went to Tuva one year to compete in an annual throat-singing contest (blues singers sometimes accomplish some of the same effects, albeit rarely and never quite so dramatically, through the use of "creaky voice"). Otherwise, just try googling with "Tuva", "throat singing" or the like. It is kind of <nowiki>SciFi-ish</nowiki>, isn't it? ^_^ One of the dissonance charms would be just fine, for the Virtue-switching thing. I'm interested to see what you have in mind for the decision-forcer, though. ^^ <Merrily romps around, tossing the icons from their niches and from the iconostasis, and then clasting them.> ^_^ Seriously, though, the stepped Form sounds like a good way to introduce the concept. If I come up with anything else, of course, it'll come straight here. -[[Suzume]] (PS. Lovin' is ALWAYS best tasty! ^_^ )

:::Thanks again. ~ [[Shataina]]

I just had this weird idea for a charm mechanic which is truly evil and yet strangely interesting, and I thought I'd leave it here incase you'd like to pilfer it for a dissonance based charm. Some sort of probably simple, maybe supplemental charm that instead of doing normal damage, if it penetrates soak (and it must penetrate, not ping) then it takes off ALL of the health levels with the same modifier. For balance reasons, this should probably not work on -2 or -4 levels, although if you felt like it then it could. Anyway, just a thought. It would be very harmful towards sidereals, and certainly interesting... it would work least well on people who spread out their health levels. -- [[Darloth]]

:This sounds similar to an idea I had for one of the effects of the Form -- that the Stylist could choose to apply as many of the damage successes she rolled as she pleased (e.g. Quicksilver Scribe rolls 8 damage successes and may then apply anywhere from 0 to 8 health levels of damage, or some such). I'm having a hard time articulating why I think that works, though -- do you have any ideas why you figured your effect would be appropriate for this style? Or do you think it's totally different? (Mm, tasty flavour text ...) ~ [[Shataina]]

:Umm... honestly not sure, it just seemed like a really interesting effect that made me think of resonance. And then I came across your style. -- [[Darloth]]

Starting to put up some base Charm ideas. I should note that I don't have regular Internet access, so I'm probably going to be kind of spotty about updating this. ~ [[Shataina]]

Minor edits to some skeleton Charms; new Secret Technique ideas. ~ [[Shataina]]

:A range limit on the banishment of abstracts/pervasives for the secret charms might be a good idea, even at the power level you described there. It might be a little bit of an unfounded limitation, concept-wise, but for the purposes of game mechanics and play, preventing the utter--if as-yet theoretical--banishment of, say, love or food from Creation in toto. Whereas, by only banishing it from one spot of--relatively--limited area would allow the user to summon the zone of that... whatever, somewhere else, perhaps creating an area over flowing with joy where there was none before, even if it IS at the expense of robbing that joy from somewhere else. This also seems to be in keeping with the spirit of the backstory you created for the style. -[[Suzume]] (BTW: I thought that the whole point was that the Deathlords and their Abyssals didn't have any actual names anymore. They use titles to identify the remaining scraps of their existence, but their names were swallowed by the Void.)

::Added a note in the description that specifies that abstract concepts become more general as they expand rather than less (e.g., it's still incredibly difficult to figure out the True Name for "love between two specific people", and then it becomes more complex when it's "love between a man and a woman", even more so when it's "love between people", etc). Also, I would consider the idea of banishing the entirety of a concept from Creation to be equivalent to banishing a Yozi, which means you have to learn the Yozi's true name first. Good luck with that. Having whatever it is that's invoked come from somewhere else ... this is an awesome idea flavourwise, but I don't think it's necessary in terms of power, and I'd prefer these effects to resemble sorcery (which doesn't have to take the stuff it conjures from anywhere) for twisted reasons of my own that involve the theory of sorcery being an innately Malfean thing. Well spotted on the Deathlord thing. I hadn't thought of that. I'd rule that they have to have a True Name in order to exist, but that their old one was eaten by the Void and their new one was invented by (and is in the keeping of) the Malfeans, which is what grants the Malfeans such control over them. ~ [[Shataina]]

:::I guess I had in mind more that the concept would be banished to, well, nothing, and that it would then be produced ex nihilo on use of the second secret, but that is mostly quibbling over an absolutely tiny point. As for the Deathlords, what holds them isn't a name as such. I've always thought that they were essentially giving away the ability to even have a name, and so are reliant for their continued existence on entities that definitely do not have names anymore (the Malfeans), and on the meerest substitute for a name: a title. But that's my opinion, and is obviously not canon (by a few galaxy-widths, at least, authority-wise). If it works better to think of the Deathlords as having a secret True Name, by all means, that's the way to go. I'm just leery of effects, no matter what their source, that can alter the core fundamentals of the setting. On the other hand, I've been working with a friend to try and figure out a way to use material from Time of Tumult and other places for his players to eventually defeat Mask of Winters, so there you go. ^_^ Another thought: Banishing a randomly encountered sword with the word "sword" (or its appropriate mystical equivalent) might be easier than, say banishing a Daiklave with the appropriate words therefor, but it seems that it would be easier if one happened to know the Name of the specific sword. Perhaps allowing for some degree of chance in having an incomplete Name for the object to be banished, while slightly weakening the effect, would be a better way to go. It would also provide an even more sensible way to explain, for example, why it's so difficult to banish the Princess Magnificent with this charm. Essentially, it's possible, but one must find sufficient Name-age to use against her, and huge chunks of that are swallowed by the Nothing. (Yes, that's a gratuitous The Neverending Story reference ^_^ ) -[[Suzume]]

::::If someone uses that Charm to alter huge chunks of the setting, it's their Storyteller's fault for making it too easy for them to learn the respective thing's True Name. As I said, I would consider learning a Deathlord's True Name to be a five thousand year quest ... that means that you are not going to accomplish it (at least, not in any game anyone I respect would run) unless the Storyteller intends you to and finds a way to hand you the True Name on some sort of metaphorical silver platter. How about I say that using that banishing Charm on an unspecific True Name like "sword" just means that it works on all the swords "in range" (to be left up to the Storyteller) that aren't too complex? This both powers it down and up and means that a Stylist might have to think hard before using less specific Names. I would prefer to avoid involving rolls with the invocation of these Charms, and that's what would be necessary to make there be a chance of failure with a lesser Name. I'm confused about your first point. I'd think that having these Charms conjure out of thin air would be more in line with that, not less. ~ [[Shataina]]

:::Since the Deathlords and Abyssals have their names devoured and made nonexistent, obviously to learn one you'll have to invoke the name back into existence with Secret Technique #2 and then somehow find out what it is. Learning the True Name's True Name is left as an exercise for the student. -[[Ben-San]]

::::You can't do that with Secret Technique #2 because you have to have banished whatever you summon before you can summon it. :) ~ [[Shataina]]

:::Gaaah. This reminds me of Earthdawn... learn this this and this name, and you can finally do this... which you were going to use to learn -this- name. -- [[Darloth]] actually -likes- earthdawn, honest

::::OMG!!! Another person who actually likes that game! - [[Issaru]] hangs head in shame for admitting he liked ED

:::::Never heard of it. Care to direct me someplace I can learn more? Or perhaps just tell me? <grin> ~ [[Shataina]]

::::::Ok...but i'm warning you: the rule set sux. Other than that I absolutly love ED and heres the link to living room games - http://www.lrgames.com/ (the "new" owners of the title, its original producer FASA died) - [[Issaru]]

This my attempt for the second charm on the tree. Tell me what you think. hope you can use it - [[Issaru]]
:'''''Sonorous Somnolence'''''
::'''Cost:''' 4 motes plus 2 motes per target after the first
::'''Duration:''' instant
::'''Type:''' Supplemental ?
::'''Minimum Crafts [Poetry]:''' 2
::'''Minimum Martial Arts:''' 1
::'''Minimum Essence:''' 2
::'''Prerequisite Charms:''' Initial Charm
By making a short poem, or sonnet the martial artist weaves the essence of inactivity, sleep and relaxation into her target(s). This Charm temporarily lulls the target(s) into a drowsy daze causing them to make easy mistakes. The target must make a willpower roll with a difficulty equal to the user of this charms charisma score. If this test is unsuccessful the target suffers a on success penalty on all rolls for the scene. This charm does not stack with itself. The user of this charm may affect more than one target with this effect by spending an additional cost of 2motes per additional target. This charm has a range of effect equal to {permanent Essence}10 yards.

:Thank you ... I'll have to revamp it, but definitely thanks. (Firstly, I'm not going to put rolls in this Style unless it's unavoidable, and secondly, I avoid Charms that use stats that aren't relevant to their theme.) I'll work on it later. Oh! And also thanks for posting this here rather than that other crossposty page. It is very accomodating of you. :) ~ [[Shataina]]

Xyphoid: response

Before you ask your question here, or in fact before you make or edit any pages, please please read TextFormattingRules and BestPractices. Your questions are probably answered there and you will also learn how to use ExaltedWiki without stepping on anyone's toes.

== Got WikiQuestions? Get WikiAnswers! ==

Question the first: What happens if someone else is in the middle of a lengthy edit and I hop onto the same, yet-unedited page, perform a quick edit and save it before she's finished? Is my stuff gone when he saves his new version? Is his stuff ignored because I began my edit later?

No. UseModWiki behaves intelligently and presents you with an opportunity to merge the two forks. -- [[Mapache]]

Question the second: Is it possible to upload an image to the wiki?

You would either need to host your image somewhere else, and link it here, or else get DaveFayram to host it on his server (in which cases you'd still need to link it). I am aware of no way to just freely upload anything besides text to the wiki.\\
_[[Ikselam]]

UseModWiki has the functionality to allow uploads of images and other files via a web browser, but this is disabled by default, and this site seems to stick to that. There are, of course, many good reasons not to allow random people to upload large files full of arbitrary content to your server. -- [[Mapache]]

Question the third: I've been thinking of restructuring my content, moving things to different pages, that sort of thing. When I do this some pages may no longer have any content because I've moved it elsewhere. Should I just leave them unloved and unlinked? What's the best way to handle it?

Empty pages (such as ones whose contents have been moved elsewhere) can be made to point to a different page by setting the top (and only) line of the old page to #REDIRECT NewPageName. That way any links you are unaware of that have sprung up can be redirected to wherever the info is now stored - CorlanDashiva

One important think to realize about #REDIRECT is that the target pagename should never be in double brackets, even if it would normally need double brackets to show up as a wiki link. So <tt><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Charms]]</nowiki></tt> would be invalid and show up as a numbered list, but <tt>#REDIRECT Charms</tt> would redirect you to the page named [[Charms]].\\
_[[Ikselam]]

Question the fourth: Would it be possible to make a page that lists people who viewed any page in the last half an hour? This would function like a "whose online" list so that you know if anyone is likely to pay attention if you update, and also might be used to see how popular your page is (outside of them making comments, which appears to be how it works). And if this is possible and easy but you're not going to do it anyhow, why? <interested>

: Simply put, no. :) UseModWiki isn't designed for it. However, BurningWiki is going to run the gamut of interactive features. Although I'm not sure that such a feature would be all that useful, since I think that Who's Online features are deceptive. I'm still ambivalent about "one account per member" models for a Wiki, since I think it might take away some valuable draws... Also, it's not really about competition :) Why would you like these features? 

: The other thing, the rating system, is probably doable. I'll look into it. But it wouldn't be terribly accurate. -- DaveFayram 

It's not about competetion. It's a tool. I use those things for my own websites to see what people like the most so I can make more of it. Besides, there's no reason to limit things to one user in order to do any of the things I suggested. Also I don't really think a "5 star" rating system is necessary, probably not what I want anyhow, because people abuse that and the comment system is just as good, and not every page needs to be rated, anyways.

Question Is there any way of getting html anchors to work within the wiki? - NightRain \\
Answer: Yes, but I won't enable them. They'll only make an even bigger mess. Already I regret allowing spaces in links and enabling NonWikiWords as links. I think these practices can be ConsideredHarmful. More directly, I think the minute you need this feature you either should contemplate a page split, a page subdivide, or simply ReFactor your page to be more compact and readable. -- DaveFayram

Question: What would be the proper way to organize a pair of Charm trees from different abilities that converge into a single tree of multi-ability Charms? The initial Charms are single-ability-- our current Charm pages are organized by ability. - TheMyriadOfShades \\
'''Answer''': Organize by whichever ability the Charms are more focused on. Simply have the one-ability charms under their proper abilities, then the multi-ability charms under whichever they most fit. And link between when citing prereqs. - [[Telgar]]

Question I am trying to create a Homicide- Life on the Street style board for my City Watch game- [[ChalkBoard]] - Is there any way to format the Wiki so I can have an Excel style headings running along the top (Case Name, Victim, Crime, Suspect, Status) and then have the details for each case in cells below the appropriate heading? Many thanks, [[SJE]]

:Best you can do is make tables, using <nowiki>||</nowiki> to make cell boundaries. Check it out in TextFormattingRules. There isn't an automagical way to do it. - [[willows]]

Question Thank you for the 4 Willows. I'm happy with the cells now- but what is the code to change the colour of text? e.g. blue & red? [[SJE]]

Question Why do I not seem to be able to edit the RecentChanges page? Is it to do with the 'minor revisions' quirk of the Wiki? [[ScrambledValkyrie]]

:You should be able to edit the top of the page, but you can't edit the actual tracked changes. There's no reason for users to have to edit those, and it could cause unnecessary issues if they were able to, so the system logs the tracked changes and you don't get no say in how it does so beyond marking them "minor" or not. ~ [[Shataina]]

Ahh. No real way for me to make a comment on a change, then? Not that I need to. :)

Comment on the page in question, and put your comment in as a summary? Then it shows up on recent changes... not sure that's quite what you were looking for though. -- [[Darloth]]

Yep. The summary's what I meant. ^^

Question: Is it possible to delete pages entirely or is redirecting the only option for empty pages?- [[Ambisinister]]

Redirect. Users can not delete pages. Xyphoid possibly could, but that's a bother. - [[Telgar]]

I can delete pages, and I believe I can autoprune empty pages, but I've been avoiding playing with that stuff. Will check it out. Also, if I don't respond to a question like this within a few days, I've probably missed it - ping me via email at xyphoid[AT]xi.co.nz, or via [[WoDIRC]]. I wonder if there's a patch for email notification of page updates, hm. -[[Xyphoid]]

Hal'at'ah'ash

== Hal'at'ah'ash, The Scuttling Golden City ==

Ruled by the harsh Gonakk people, whose name is only whispered among the tribes of desert barbarians, Hal'at'ah'ash is a remains of that which came before the rule of the gods, and that which was believed destroyed and locked away. They bow their heads in adoration to Celcelyne, and to her lesser self, the Second Circle demon Ahseniel who rules the Gonakk as an infernal god-queen.
Ahseniel is indescribable. The high priests of Celcelyne, who have all had their eyes replaced with orbs of golden sand, do not speak of her likeness. Those who dare look upon her monstrous, insectoid visage as she implants her horrible Children in their bellies go mad. They can only gibber about mucus, golden scales and eyes everywhere, as the Child within devours their body. She controls the great automaton that serves as city, fortress and home for the Gonakk, and she creates the millions of eggs that hatch into their golden scarab warriors, the Children of Ahseniel.

In the temples of Celcelyne, moonsilver and orichalcum is alloyed by thaumaturge priests, forming the liquid gold which are used to make the flowing, shifting armor of the Children. The Children are implanted in prisoners, wounded, the elderly; anyone deemed worthless by the harsh Gonakk priests. The human incubators, known as August Mothers, are sent into her chamber for the egg to be placed in their bellies. There, for a year, the larvae hatch and grow, until finally the victim dies as a newly formed scarab warrior feast on her innards. The Child, naked as it is borne from the corpse, soon has liquid gold injected into it's caraspace before it hardens, causing the Children's armor to be internal. A single Child is no match in battle for a prepared Dragon-Blooded, but a dozen Children can kill hundreds of mortals without taking a scratch. They fly across the battlefield, impaling men on their long wicked golden tridents.

The secret of the Gonakk people is that they have not always lived this way, treating the Children as inhuman demigods, serving Ahseniel as their divine commander. Once, they were merely refugees from a forgotten war, driven into the desert. There, they found the Scuttling City, and awoke the sleeping demons inside. Ahseniel enslaved her unknowing benefactors, and had them repair the City, teaching them of the wisdom and rightousness of Celcelyne. In her name, Ahseniel will make the deserts of Creation spread in all directions, encompassing and devouring everything, until they reach Celcelyne's edge under the black infinite sky.

= A Circle of God-Blooded =

I was thinking about God-Blooded a while ago, and this motley crew popped out.

* back to [[/OtherCircles | Ikselam's Circles]].
----
=== This had its genesis in late June 2003. ===
I wanna make a Circle composed of God-Blooded. I'm not sure how to make it work. One idea was that their leader was a Zorro-like DB from Grey Falls. Another was that they're pirates in the West. Yet another is that they all live in Great Forks and do... something. Scavenging? I like the chivalrous outlaws idea best. I think the piracy idea lends itself best to that.

Gray is a half-Abyssal. Actually a pretty positive lady, if you can get past her dour demeanor and wide streak of gallows humor. Looks like a (fresh) corpse, has only very weak powers.

Leona is the daughter of a Lion Dog, or possibly just some kind of generic lion spirit. Looks leonine; mane of golden hair, unusually-colored eyes, maybe pointy teeth. Very attractive, but has some personality issues (too much Valor, not enough Temperance or Compassion).

Insert Name Here is the offspring of some kind of elemental. (Water has an obvious schtick if going w/ pirate idea...) Might be a selkie, whose only special power is the ability to turn into a seal.

Insert Name Here is the offspring of a demon. (possibly that one from the adventure in ToT?) No idea at all on this one; only in the list for completeness' sake.

Rounding out the bunch will be the leader, who I currently think is an outcaste DB, but may end up being something else (maybe even a normal mortal!). He may or may not be in the enviable position of having both Gray and the lioness lady as lovers. Needs a name.
----
12/3

They aren't pirates, they're legitimate merchants. They operate in the west.

The Dragon-Blooded's name is Jun Chan for now. He is definitely married to both Gray and Leona. Although he's outgoing and charismatic, it's patently obvious to anyone who bothers to look that Gray is the one wearing the pants in this particular relationship; she keeps the books basically does everything besides motivate the crew and schmooze with clients. On her home island, where she is moderately famous, her husband is known to everyone (somewhat to his chagrin) as "Gray's boy."

I definitely don't see Chan as a Water or Earth Aspect; he's probably Wood or Fire. Today I'm leaning toward Wood, for no particular reason, but the other day I was thinking Fire. Could go either way.

Gray is not a big fan of Chan having any wives who aren't her. However, she's also sterile (unsurprising, given her ancestry), and recognizes the need for heirs.

Leona, on the other hand, thinks like a lioness. To her, it would be incredibly bizarre if Chan didn't have a whole harem. She actually feels threatened whenever any of his female subordinates have obvious relationships with men besides him; if he were the leader of a pride, such behavior would mean that other males were gearing up to challenge him. This mindset amuses Chan and aggravates Gray. However, neither of them can find much fault in Leona's intense dedication to both of them. She may or may not have already borne Chan a child.

Still no great ideas for the elemental- and demon-spawn.
