Culture, Society, and Anachronism in Exalted: Kawaii

The cultures of Exalted: Kawaii contain a variety of anachronisms or anachronism equivalents both for humorous effect and to create a culture gradient. These anachronisms are most common in the Kawaii Isle and become progressively more rare (in most cases) as you move away from it into the Threshold, and even as you move from urban to countryside on the Kawaii Isle.

Computers : The Ultimate System is a cross between the Loom of Fate in standard Exalted, a giant mainframe and the Internet. The Mountain Folk and the Goddesses are the main beings who have access to this particular anachronism, and they do all the usual things with it that we do in the real world in addition to it maintaining the universe. Mountain Folk society, in fact, revolves around MMORGs. The major Goddess factions revolve around Operating System issues and jokes.

Evil Business Organizations: Practically obligatory in a Storyteller system game. They have their own page.

Karaoke : Very popular in the Kawaii Isle, especially with magical girls. The needed equipment is a level 1 artifact in its simplest form; Karaoke facilities can be found in any Blessed Isle city of 10,000 or more. Very large cities have many competing ones. In the Threshold, such facilities are found usually only in major noble homes and in major cities, though some places, such as MinasLankWaterHawk have a fair number.
