The Eighth Incarna
The history of the time before the Primordial is dim and shrouded in secret. Humans wrote no histories of these times, and the histories of the Dragon Kings have been lost to time. Even the gods themselves are not always certain of the way of things, and those who know do not always wish to speak of their knowledge. However, a few historians have learned enough to know that the seven Incarnae that currently reign are not the only ones to have shared rule over Creation. Once, they were eight in number.
When the Primordials began to shape Creation, some of them thought far enough ahead to realize that if they had shaped themselves from the Wyld, others might do so as well. With the infinite reaches of the Wyld, Tigranes, Master of Comets, was crafted by Gaia, Cecylene, and Oramus, who had looked ahead to the future and imagined the likelihood of new arrivals. Tigranes was designed and developed to be able to pass freely through the bounds of the Wyld, passing away from Creation on long arcs and then returning periodically to check in with his overlords.
Tigranes would spent three cycles of the years - seventy-five years in total - journeying through the Wyld, forging his tools and weapons from the Wyld-stuff around him as he needed, fighting or hiding from the Fair Folk as necessary. His life was hard but enjoyable, and he was occasionally successful in his task, uniting the Primordials within Creation. Each time, he found a mighty but confused being, taking them on his journey, befriending them and showing them the rules of Creation, so that when they returned, they were ready to join the ranks of the Primordial gods, adding their touches to the nature of Creation. And each time he left again, and upon his next return he found a good friend transformed into an imperious overlord, the other Primordials quickly convincing each newcomer that only the Primordials, ultimately, were important, and that Tigranes was nothing more than a tool. He grew depressed, at first, but it was not in his nature to shirk action. His sorrow turned to rage, and when, upon one return, the other Incarnae whispered their plans of rebellion to him, he joined them both willingly and eagerly.
The Primordial War
Each of the Incarna designed their Exalted based on their own capabilities and natures. The Solars were the Lawgivers, the golden champions and symbols. The Lunars were the Stewards, guarding their fellows and supporting them. The Sidereals were the Viziers, advisors and trainers, who worked fate. The Dragon-Blooded were the footsoldiers, armies willing to stand behind their leaders. And the Cometaries were the Omen
