General’s Mind
Commitment: 8m

War is all about planning, and it is often the case that he who plans the best is he who comes away with victory. This brilliant, golden circlet is meant to sit upon the brow of one who takes joy in leading men into battle, but who is also concerned for those men and the overall outcome of the conflict. Upon first inspection the band appears to be inlaid with a reddish orange substance that seems to be intricately patterned around its circumference. When one looks closer, however, they see that the substance is not a stationary color, but actually living, dancing flame that seems to move around the pattern with a mesmerizing fluidity. The pattern is also quickly discerned to be a prayer to the Easter Goddess of War and Soldier, Sunipa, who also contributed to the items creation by bestowing a blessing upon it. Aside from its ascetic value the circlet is a weapon of war, the likes of which can turn the tide of battle even against impossible odds.

• While the bearer is wearing it he has the ability to enhance those warriors who he himself has personally trained to be truly god like in battle. The user can for the cost of 3 motes (committed) per unit leader grant the individual the ability to fight and lead with the Exalt’s non-charm enhanced dice pools. He can commit up to his Permanent Essence in unit leaders.
• Furthermore the circlet modifies the solar war charm Ideal Battle Knowledge Prana. When the Solar places this charm up during battle he receives its normal benefits plus he gains the ability to pay one additional mote, up to his PE, on each Excellency he uses. Doing this allows the user to extend the effects of that Excellency over his committed unit leaders.
• The circlet also possesses one hearthstone socket

Mirage’s Illusive Dream Cloak
Moonsilver Cloak
Stackable 3L/3B Hardness 2L/2B Mobility -0 Fatigue 0
Commitment: 5m

Mirage was the dancer in the deserts of the shimmering south a dream to behold and the ephemeral prize of the Eclipse Carro Winterblossom. Mirage would spend days flickering and dancing with the spirits of heat, illusion, and oasis at the edge of Snowfall’s territory. Overtime days became weeks. Weeks became months and then she didn’t return. Like the moment of waking and she the dream all trace of her gone. Carro spent decades searching the last corners of creation and beyond. He summoned up the minions of death, of the eternal prison, and those from beyond the borders of creation none knew of her passing. Her memory faded from the minds of men and in the mind of Carro was replaced with a pristine image the likes of which could never exist in this world or any other. He was known for his ceaseless devotion and his never-ending quest. He searched all the more for this dream of perfection and in the end he too vanished from the world and the minds of men…as the passing of the memory of a dream.

Warrior’s Arm
Commitment: 5m

Sometimes tactics alone won’t win you a battle, and it is through strength of arm that victory must be achieved. This item takes the form of a bracer that fits over the Exalt’s left forearm, and is seemingly made from storm clouds on the verge of tempest and streaked through with golden Orichalcum lightening. It truly was made from the clouds that form when the great Thunderbird warrior Storms-As-He-Walks goes to battle, and the rain that fell from them blessed it. The bracer grants the users Glorious Solar Saber Charm a permanent enhancement, by allowing it to modify another blade the Solar already has committed. When the charm is activated a golden aura encircles the Exalt’s left hand and all he needs to do it touch the hilt of his other blade to complete the effect. The blade now glows with holy light and if the sword was not already a Grand Daiklave it becomes liken to one as golden essence grows out of the back of the sword and extends it upward until it reaches 6 feet in length. Once done this blade becomes a weapon of pure destruction that is capable of such feats of legend that its name nor its wielders name may ever be forgotten.

• For 6 motes and 1 willpower (the usual summoning cost for the saber) the bracer automatically doubles the users dice pool to its maximum level.
• All attacks by the Exalt are considered Holy.
• Finally it grants the wielder a second source of damage equal to his Permanent Essence, do to the essence part of the blade also slashing into the opponent.

Wild Growth Resonance Circlet
Commitment: 1m

This circlet has the appearance of twisted vines softly worked through with Orichalcum. Bits of unnatural glass harvested from the glass and poison forests of the Far East during Resplendent Wood’s glittering days are ground through the work. The natural properties of the circlet as well as the craftsmanship lead to an interesting synergy.

• Nearby vegetation gains a rudimentary intelligence, but is still restrained by its form.
• Further, those charms of the First Excellency the solar activates have one die purchased at no cost.
• Finally, by actively channeling essence through the circlet at a rate of 3 motes every 6 ticks, essence expenditures are dampened in a small area. This last effect is identical to the Wood Dragon Armor effect.
