At one time the Elemental Dragons dwelt in their borders of Creation, each of them shoring it up against the Wyld. Then they were destroyed by the Primordials.
During this time Creation was well ordered and each element was in it's place. Water in the West, Ice in the North, Wood in the centre, Fire in the South and Earth in the East.
The Dragons exuded Elemental Essence. Slowly their shattered Essence gathered and coalesced back into spirits.
Essence in Magnitude x Essence of original being
Total magnitude = Essence of original being
Most woodland people are actually very nautical, rivers are the roads of the woods as they are far easier to travel through than dense forest.
They returned at various points in Creation creating a wild, more chaotic landscape. Also the absence of the mighty Dragons along Creation's edge made it more vulnerable to the Fair Folk. Although their place was taken by some Lunar Exalted (perhaps they were created during the Primordial war when the Primordials destroyed the Dragons leaving Creation's borders dangerously unguarded. The Lunars were designed to live in the Wyld at the boundaries of reality.) The bodies of the Fair Folk are a Shaping Effect. What if the bodies of the Lunars are real but Lunar Essence like moonsilver is a Shaping effect (in actuality it would be more the other way round- the Lunars are to the Wyld what the Fair Folk are to Creation.) The Fair Folk need to take on a physical form to exist in Creation, they can't exist as naturally transforming, inchoate Essence except in Free Holds. What is the nature of Lunar Essences, moonsilver and the Lunars themselves. How do they manage their unique ability of shapeshifting (the ability way be an essential part of their function, just as Fair Folk become real enough to live in Creation the Lunars become unshaped enough to live in the Wyld, as a result they can change their form just by thinking about it.) A power remarkably like the materialisation of the Fair Folk but in reverse. Instead of coalescing Essence into endless variations they make solid matter endlessly protean.
It's a dark and frosty night. The moon is full and I walked across a graveyard. It's time to start my blog. This is principally a place to put up all my writing about Exalted. I'll also be writing short stories, prose poetry, bitching about what I think is wrong with the world (starting with this damn template) and anything else of interest. 19/1/11

The first section is basically my take on Exalted. Right now I'm just copying up my notes so everything's very raw while I put down my ideas. I'll work on editing everything and making it more coherent later. As a result things will contradict the in game canon and even be self contradictory especially since not all my notes are copied in chronological order. They've been typed up without editing to remain as close as possible to my original vision.
