Exaltation

Books. They were always my greatest entertainment but the world seems ever ill-suited for lovers of academia and literature. However, I managed a living investigating and recovering various artifacts of the First Age. I would often donate these finds to various museums throughout the Realm.
One book - a single tome - would initiate my destiny and change my life forever. It was encased in black, hardened leather and seemed to bear no title. Only its first page - yellowed and brittle parchment common of the entire tome - bore anything remotely resembling a title. After days of study, it was all I could do to translate that one word. It was in a long forgotten dialect of Old Realm: 'Grimoire'.
I found the translation of the book to gradually become more and more engrossing - the penmanship especially. It was strangely familiar. If I had not known better, I would have thought it my own. If I had not known better . . .
The 'Grimoire' turned out to be a sort of journal written to record events in the First Age as experienced by the author. Strangely enough, the writing was not incredibly detailed in describing scenery; yet, as I read, I could imagine everything discussed as though I were looking upon them . . . remembering them? The book went on to cover the Anathema and the Dragon-Blooded in such ways as to be held as highest heresy by the Immaculate Order. Nevertheless, the words struck deep within me as I read and translated. And deep inside, I could not helpbut know they rang true as though I could vouch witness to the accounts personally.
I decided that keeping such apocrypha too close to Imperial eyes was the most dangerous of folly. So, I relocated my study to Whitewall. This book truly began to awaken me to the ignorance of society and the false dogma they are forced to uphold. It awoke such a hunger for knowledge - but moreso, for the truth.
But before I got too overexcited over what could be masterfully written fiction, I decided to seek a way to authenticate Grimoire for any true antiquity. If it was as old as the ruins where I found it, and not merely left there by tomb-raiders, then the people should atleast be advised to become more thoughtful of what they are indoctrinated in. With that decision made, Grimoire suddenly flew apart in a silent, forceless and brilliant burst. Its brittle parchment was now bright shimmering sheets of orichalcum adorned with various mystical formulae and symbols. I was taken aback as the pages then began to rotate around me. The wind generated by the speed of these pages made amok of my study, but I was completely dumbfounded.
Voices began to barrage me with whispers, shouts, phrases, questions, statements, answers . . . all at once. All in my voice. Confused, I moved to leave the study when outside one of my windows I noticed men bearing the mark of the Immaculate Order and . . . auras like the elements . . . somehow, I could sense their auras. A voice of mine simply stated '. . . the Wyld Hunt . . .', and I knew they were coming for me. I had neither the wits, nor inclination to clearly deduce why or how they were after me at the time.
I later learned that it was because I had experienced exaltation. The type the Realm holds worst in its eyes - the touch of the Unconquered Sun. I am now one of the so-called Anathema - the 'Unclean'. False titles and lies conjured by treacherous usurpers. I gradually understand Grimoire - my anima - my soul - more as time passes. In turn, I grow stronger through this introspection. I have found companions - Exalted like myself - who are steadfast. I will awaken the ignorant from their false bliss. This world of greed and self-serving leadership will be set arights soon enough.
