Hearthstones

GEM OF SAFE HARVEST (MANSE •••) - Earth
This hearthstone looks like an irregular lump of unpolished, dark-yellow amber. It transmutes anything eaten or drunk by the bearer into safe and nourishing food. Nothing the bearer ingests can cause her any harm, even if it is poisoned with the deadliest alchemical venom. The bearer finds a diet of seawater, Yozi venom and fragments of driftwood to be as safe and nourishing as the finest meals served to princes and kings. (Oadenol's Codex, page 90)

KATA-SCULPTING GEM (MANSE ••) - Water
This pearly white disk glows with a faint white light that brightens and dims in time with its bearer’s heartbeat. The gem allows a Dragon-Blooded martial artist to focus her Essence so that she can activate any known Celestial-level Form-type Charms without her player having to succeed at a (Dexterity + Martial Arts) roll. Only Terrestrial Exalts with Martial Arts of 3 or more possess the precision needed to use the instinctive knowledge of fighting katas provided by this hearthstone. This stone also reduces the Essence cost to activate all Martial Arts Form-type Charms by 2 motes (minimum of 1); all Exalted can gain this benefit. (Oadenol's Codex, page 96)

MEMORIAL IRON (MANSE •) - Fire
This hearthstone looks like a smooth nugget of polished iron. Its bearer can vividly recall (and mentally relive) any particularly positive and will-reinforcing memory. This recollection fi res her resolve, enabling her to recover one point of temporary Willpower each day. This is in addition to any Willpower recovered through the normal, daily Conviction roll. (Oadenol's Codex, page 92)

Appearance:

Ledaal Xienhua is a tall, pale-skinned woman, seemingly in her mid-twenties, with a somewhat bookish air. This is aided by the fact that she habitually wears spectacles, even though she doesn't need them. She prefers to wear her hair in a single braid, although if the situation requires it, she'll sport fantastically elaborate hairstyles. As an Earth-aspect, her hair is the colour of green marble, shot through with strands of white and gold, and her skin sometimes seem to glint like polished stone if the light hits it at the correct angle.

Xienhua prefers practical rather than extravagant clothing, and tends to choose fairly subdued and non-descript clothing for everyday wear, as this helps her avoid undue notice. Her preferred image is the non-descript bureaucrat; neat, but bland.

History:

Ledaal Xienhua is known for being a somewhat tragic figure in Dynastic society; her lineage is impeccable, yet she has shown no aptitude for the Sorcery the House values so highly. A brilliant scholar and graduate of the Heptagram, she's taken up a minor bureaucratic position as an assayer in the Thousand Scales, where her gifts and talents are wasted (some say as punishment from the House Elders for an unkown infraction). While her lineage and breeding would make her a desirable catch for most Houses, the cloud hanging over her has discouraged most of her suitors. By all accounts, Ledaal Xienhua has been consigned to a minor and unimportant role in the great enterprise of the Realm.

And that is just the way she wants it.

The truth is that Xienhua is a valued operative for the All-Seeing Eye. Recruited just after graduating from the Heptagram, her knowledge of poisons and alchemical formulae has proven invaluable in several cases. Her position in the Thousand Scales is a smoke-screen deliberately designed to give her plausible excuses for traveling to wherever her skills are needed. The lack of suitors doesn't bother her much, as she's being kept far too busy with her work to take the time she feels would be necessary to sufficiently vet a prospective husband.

OTHER NOTES:

Well, here's my Earth Aspect's character sheet. Originally, I was going to submit it without having spent any XP. However, I've spent 59 of the available XP on the following, to ensure that she can back up her claims about what she can do:

Occult 5 - 7 XP
Lore 5 - 7 XP
Thaumaturgy - Alchemy Initiate 8 XP
- Alchemy Adept 8 XP
- Alchemy Master 8 XP
Medicine 2 - 2 XP
Medicine 3 - 4 XP
Speardancer Concentration Charm - 10 XP
Athletics 1 - 3
Athletics 2 - 2

That's it, more or less. If this looks ok, I'm planning on spending 30 more XP to get Essence 3 and Crimson Pentacle Blade form, 5 XP to raise Martial Arts to 4, and 9 XP to get Connections (Thousand Scales) 3, using the proposed method from Scroll of Errata for purchasing Backgrounds with XP.
