The Lunar pledges herself to a superior, and promises to accomplish a task. For the duration, the Lunar adds one die to all rolls directly involving the task, but receives a penalty of one die to all rolls that do not directly involve it. Those bonuses count as charm dice, as usual. This Charm may be activated multiple times, and its benefits stack, but with great danger! Each time he receives an order which opposes another order, he loses 1 Willpower point and cannot regain it until his superiors alter their commands such that they do not come into conflict.

The Lunar’s devotion is great. With their devotion, their honor, comes power. To show his devotion for the task his superior has laid upon her, the Lunar draws his own blood, in a wound that is not done until it is over – the Health Level taken for this Charm is committed. For the remainder of the task, the Lunar adds his Conviction to all rolls related to the task, but suffers a one-die penalty to all rolls not related to it. The Lunar may only activate Hand of the King Method for one task at a time. Those bonuses count as charm dice, as usual.

A Lunar's devotion to his Lord is matched only by the Celestial Lion's devotion to Heaven. Activating this Charm, the character receives his lord's command in the same manner as one hears that something must be done for the sun to rise the next day. His world hinges on it. All vanish from his mind but this truth... and with such focus the Lunar becomes able to push past his limits to make his Lord's will come true.
 +
 
 +
When the character activates this Charm the Lunar must have received a task from a superior which must be possible, relatively simple, and the Lunar must have a clear idea on how to begin it. While this Charm is active, he adds one success to all rolls related to the chosen objective, increases his dice-adding limits to his Attribute+Essence and ignores all fatigue penalties. 
 +
 
 +
Until the object it attained, the character must make a successful Willpower roll in order to take actions not related to the received command for a Scene. All such actions receive a penalty of -2 dice. Ending the Charm before concluding the task requires a Willpower roll with a difficulty equal to the Lunar's own Conviction, which can only be attempted once per scene. It cannot be reactived unless one receives the command from another once again. If the task becomes impossible the Lunar will lapse into a morose state wherein he suffers a penalty of -2 dice to all actions and cannot regain Willpower with Conviction rolls or Nature fulfillment. This morose state will last for a number of days equal to the Lunar's Conviction.

The Lunar’s devotion is contagious. He reflects the light of his devotion for his ruler, and it touches all those he commands. The Lunar may command a number of people equal to (The Lunar's Charisma x20). All those he commands receive one die to all rolls related to his orders, and may spend 1 health level in the place of a willpower to channel a virtue. This can be done once per turn and does not count as a willpower use to channel a virtue, allowing both to be used at once. They may not be swayed from the Lunar’s side except with the use of Charms. Barring supernatural intervention, their loyalty is assured, and even then they can throw off any effect with the expenditure of 1 willpower per Essence requirement of the Charm, even if it was not normally resistible, as long as it tries to sway their loyalty away from their lord.

The Lunar’s devotion is his Shield, and nothing can stop it. This Charm activates when the Lunar pledges himself with Servant’s Honor or Hand of the King Method – onward, he may not be swayed by any words. As long as the Lunar continues to have his task in mind, he may spend 1 Willpower to ignore Social Rolls or Charms meant to sway him from his path - even if they cannot be resisted or ask for more than 1 Willpower to do so, such as Cash and Murder Games. This Charm can be activated to prevent loss of willpower caused by an enemy's powers, but it will still cost 1 willpower. This is a Perfect Defense.

Nothing can break a Lunar's Devotion to his liege. This Charm activates whenever another attempts to convince the Lunar to betray or lose his trust in those he has sworn devotion to or attempt to delay or stop his assigned task with words or mind-affecting charm. It allows the Lunar to spend 1 Willpower to end their influence. This is a Perfect Defense.

Like all social animals the Lunar Exalted can thrive in following the orders of an alpha. With a pledge the Lunar promises his Lord to accomplish a single task. This task must be possible, relatively simple, and the Lunar must have a clear idea on how to begin it.

The Lunar works herself in a position of eminent submission. Through her master, she becomes great. What she pledges for, what she protects, she eclipses through her own greatness. For the duration, she converts her Conviction rating into automatic successes in any social roll acting on her orders. This Charm may be activated multiple times, so as to have multiple situations where to receive a bonus, but with great danger! Each time she receives an order which opposes another order, she loses 1 Willpower point and cannot regain it until his superiors alter their commands such that they do not come into conflict.

Those rulers protected by a Lunar Exalted can sleep without worry; Their devotion and might will always keep the ruler and country they have sworn to free of harm. To employ this Charm, the Lunar must have a public position as protector of a ruler or regime. During the Full Moon, the Lunar spends a night walking on those places ruled by the regime, howling to the moonlight. All within its boundaries will feel the fear of the Lunar's reprisal for their actions; This instantly dissolves any rebellion against the regime or conspiracy to overthrow its ruler led by creatures whose permanent essence is less than the Lunar's, and prevents all others from arising until the next Full Moon.
+
Those protected by a Lunar Exalted can sleep without worry - for the shadow of a Silver-Blessed protector falls over the lands, a feral authority, the great monster making all within its boundaries ''behave''. During the Full Moon the Lunar must spend an entire night walking around the lands controlled by his lord and howling to the moonlight. All those conspiring against the ruler or attempting to overthrow him cease their plotting and no other plots will arise for the next Lunar month - entire underground movements may become dust in fear of the Lunar. Those with Essence greater than the Lunar's own can retain their plots if they spend Willpower equal to the Lunar's Permanent Essence rating.
