Comments

Ever tried finding info about the Calibration?

It's surprisingly hard, it's scattered over all sorts of books.

So, I'm making this page, a repository for anything and everything to do with calibration - page references, fan-made celebrations and events, quickref for effects and changes to the structure of reality, that sort of thing. Anyone is welcome to contribute, and I'll try and add what I can.

-- Darloth

I always thought it was a time for mortals to shut their doors in the hope that the spirits set free by the thinning of the veil won't bother them. Also I consider it a vaction of sorts from summoning spells that last for a long period of time. Demons and elementals are not allowed to shirk they duties given to them by their summoners but they can persue their own agendas at the same time with a little more liberation.

~ Insanewizard

Well, there's nearly no information in the Core book(1st ed), except that it's the only time to summon 3rd circle demons. It's mentioned, but as far as I can see never specified.
-- Darloth goes on checking other sources

PDF searching to the rescue. -- Wordman, who should be working

Whoa! Thanks Wordman, I was eventually planning to do something like that myself, but not in so much detail and I certainly hadn't got nearly that far. Good job!
-- Darloth

Wordman, you are a legend amongst wordmen...DeathBySurfeit

added Abyssals references. Nicely, all on one page. I'm eventually planning to compile all of the various effects and things so people coming here can see exactly what Calibration means for them and what it does in general, as well as get all the pagerefs for specific happenings.
-- Darloth only checked the notoriously bad index though. There may well be other small references in Abyssals.

Added some more. -- Wordman

Well, the index was worse than even I thought it was.
-- Darloth

I'm not sure which book it is in, but isn't it mentioned somewhere the some Dynasts dress up and are basically assholes to the peasants and pretends to be demons and foul beings or just play tricks and destroy stuff? Sort of like Halloween only with more dickery. - SpicyMcHaggis

This was mentioned in the "Calibration Venturing" sidebar in Exalted: the Dragon Blooded on pg. 111. I've included it in the list. -- JasonWhittle
