Wondrous Atlas of Creation's Destiny: An Exalted Podcast

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.

Aramithius & Raelz discuss the themes present in Exigents and how to think about them in terms of game plots - everything from relations between Exigent and chosen deity (daddy issues ahoy!) to why to bring together an Exigents circle. The crew also talk over themes of Great Forks, while trying to stay away from all the drugs.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Great Forks, the city where gods have a good time and the mortals quite often really don't. We also take a good look at the Exigent Exalted, Chosen of the Little Gods, and the many ways in which Exaltation can be used in this new Exalt type. Some of them are even legal!

The Wondrous Atlas crew discuss what you can do with all the various bits of the Realm that we didn't cover in the previous episodes of Season Two. It's a bit disjointed, brace for sudden changes of topic. In addition to talking the All-Seeing Eye, Mountainfolk and the Imperial City, we wrap up with Realz finally getting the opportunity to wax lyrical about how to run the Return of the Scarlet Empress, or how to use it in another kinds of game.

The Wondrous Atlas round off its second season by discussing the bits of the Realm that we haven't covered so far in discussing Creation's biggest empire. We discuss the life of the Scarlet Empress, the All-Seeing Eye, Scarlet Prefecture, the Mountainfolk and more, with segues that will probably give you whiplash. We even sneak in a story hook involving a seaside town, a disagreement between some surfer/prankster bears and some sanctimonious crab-wizards that could suck the Blessed Isle into the Wyld.

It's back to school for the Wondrous Atlas lads as we go over the different kinds of stories you can tell in and around the Realm's education system. As well as discussing general principles about how to run lesson content and "extracurricular" activies, we discuss what kinds of story each school is best suited to tell, and how to run things from the teachers' perspective as well as the pupils. We also present a different story seed for each of the main schools, as well as presenting an off-the-wall story using the schools a springboard for a runaway game.

We do mention a particular charm in this episode, and erroneously attribute it to Miracles of the Solar Exalted. The charm Raelz was thinking of was in fact Moon-and-Earth Marriage, from Heirs to the Shogunate.

Aramithius and Realz turn to the systematised child abuse that is the Realm education system, covering everything from when tutelage starts at the age of three(!) to the end of secondary school at twenty-one. We discuss the varied curricular of the military academies of the House of Bells and Pasiap's Stair, the bureaucratic sweatshop that is the Spiral Academy, the place of tranquility and punching that is the Cloister of Wisdom, and the metaphysical laboratory of the Heptagram sorcery school, along with a host of minor schools.

Raelz and Aramithius discuss the kind of games you can run with the Immaculate Order, and as befits a Creation-spanning ogranisation, we go... lots of places and themes, with some vain attempts to keep us on track injected at appropriate points. We cover how to reflect the Immaculate Order permeating Realm society, the kinds of things to do with a party of Immaculate monks, and wrap up concocting an audacious "missionary" scenario into Great Forks, which feels like it's Breaking Bad: Immaculate Edition.
