Wondrous Atlas of Creation's Destiny: An Exalted Podcast

Aramithius and AlexDrake take a look at the stories that can be told in games involving Thorns, ranging from the broader geopolitics of the Scavenger Lands to the day-to-day struggles of the resistance against the Mask. We also accidentally discover why spreading peace and love in Thorns may actually be useful in such a conflict.

Aramithius and Blaque discuss all the things you can do with the wonderful place that is Vaneha, including but not limited to conquest, stopping conquest, swords and politics. This may or may not all be the same thing. On the way, we look at how to plot it out with different power levels, how to involve the rest of the Scavenger Lands, and end by creating an outline of our own Vaneha clan.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Vaneha, one of the new locations from Third Edition. Aramithius and Blaque dig into a world of manicured gardens, rising nationalism, martial excellence and child hostage-taking that's trying to become an institution.

Aramithius and AlexDrake discuss all the possible things you can do with the stories in the grand city of Nexus, from exploiting the themes of wealth and inequality (and exploitation!), to how to possibly overhaul the system and make it better. We also look at all the marvelous options of what you can do with the murder machine that is the Emissary, at times joined by the opinions of Drake's chair.

We wrap up with a fantastic cast of characters that make up council of a conspiracy to keep Nexus under control, and how those diverse personalities could tear the whole thing apart.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Creation's biggest hive of scum and villainy, by which of course we mean the largest trading hub in the Scavenger Lands. Aramithius and AlexDrake talk about Nexus, and all the evils and rituals of trade, rampant capitalism and a super-powerful masked entity with a talent for destruction.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on the Guild, that mortal-run entity that will sell you everything, for a price. Also many, many things that you don't want but have to put up with. Aramithius and AlexDrake go over its history, structure and place in Creation's economic system, while trying not to despair at the banality of evil that this lifeblood of trade can represent.
