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.

AlexDrake and Aramithius look at the banality of evil in Storytellling that is the Guild. We go over the main themes you can highlight from the Guild, and how to make all those squishy mortal people a challenge for the mighty Exalted. We also discover the utility of flat-pack temples.

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.

Lobsopdoy and Aramithius follow up on the last episode with an in-depth investigation of those pillars of Lookshy society, the Gentes, while never being quite sure which is the singular and which is the plural form. Nor yet whether they're trying to be Greek, Japanese or both at once.

Aramithius and Lobsopdoy discuss the second-biggest Dragon-Blooded polity in Creation, the Sparta to the Realm's Athens, which is Lookshy. Along the way we talk through comparisons to the Realm, take a whistle-stop tour of the Gentes (which we'll discuss more fully next time), and veer dangerously close to real-world politics.

Aramithius and Blaque talk through some of the kinds of stories to run in the Scavenger Lands, from DIY kingdoms to the closest Exalted ever gets to a dungeon crawl. We wrap it up by creating our very own example of one of the Hundred Kingdoms.
