Differences

This is a list of the changes I have made to the canonical material in my settings:

• The Scarlet Empress is not in Malfeas. She's dead.
• Linguistics doesn't buy you specific languages, it buys you overall proficiency.
• There are a heck of a lot more than a measly couple hundred Solar Exalts. Unfortunately, there's also a lot of Infernals, who are much more powerful individually, but don't really work well together, and are at war with each other as often as the Solars.
• Synodics and Abyssals are chosen from the ranks of the dead, and Synodics manipulate the fates of the Underworld as the Sidereals do Creation. Or they would if they could figure out how. And the Underworld has gods and stuff just like Creation, except goth. And when you die in the Underworld, you get reincarnated. The Underworld stands square in the way of souls headed for Lethe, so without supernatural assistance everybody becomes a ghost. And since starmetal is made out of dead gods, hexsteel is made out of dead dead gods. Little complicated.
• Grand grimscythes and grand goremauls are speed 15. But they now cut through multiple things in a row.
• The Deathlords weren't given their power, they stole it. And the Neverborn are working with their Yozi homedogs to get it back. The Deathlords are still 3vil however.
• Lookshy now has negligible strength compared to the Realm, which still maintains a firm hold on all satrapies, which occupy most of the South and North coasts and a few hundred miles inland, as well as a patch around Greyfalls.
• Travel around Creation for the wealthy is made easier by the widespread use of skyships powered by hearthstones. They have a tendency to crash, as they are of second age manufacture and therefore pieces of crap. And they're only for those with Resources 3 and up.
