What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water. Only
There is shadow under this red rock,
(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
~ T.S. Eliot (1888–1965) - The Waste Land (1922)

Introductions and Explainations

As the title hints... the game is an experiment, of sorts. At least on my part, I've played solars (high end and low), just as I've also run a high XP solar game.

This time round, I intent to run a low end game, or relatively so. That's right, no exalts in the player list, or at least... true exalts as you and I know. The game is random, and online. All my players, when they're free and I am free, may call upon me to run a game at any time. This means that they're all solo games, at least until circumstances force them to meet.

A taste of what is to come

The game starts 5 years after the disappearance of the Scarlet Empress. There is the rumble of civil war in the Realm amongst the Great Houses for a shot at her throne.

The Realm still stands astride Creation as the mightiest world power, but trouble seems to be brewing and emerging all over the place; such as greater and more brazen pirate activities in the West.

There are rumours of a large barbarian Icewalker horde amassing in the North under a very charismatic leader, the northern tributaries and client states of the Realm have entreated the Realm for aid. Those outside of the Realm's protection are preparing for a war against the barbarian horde.

In the Eastern threshold, mercenary companies are being hired by just about everyone for protection, and tales abound of ancient evils awakening with potent might.

The South is as eternal as its desert and there are tales of a civil war between the fae, where fair folk nobles with all their courts taking sides against one and another, dragging helpless mortals and exalts into their deadly and beautiful maelstrom.

What tales will emerge as you make your marks on Creation? What legends will you leave behind.
