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.

Masters of Unreality

    Just as the Wyld is made of possibilities, it is a place where possibilities are very real, Lunars learn to extrapolate those possibilities in their own heads into the Wyld to change it. It is this characteristic that allows them to change their own form through their Lunar Essence, which is like a part of the Wyld within them. They have the same effect over moonsilver as well. They can make it into anything they want. For all their association with the Wyld the Lunars are the opposite of the Fair Folk. They are not an existential antithesis like iron is to them, but are fundamentally opposed to them.
   Solar Exalted- Lords of Creation
   Many Lunars prefer the Wyld to Creation as it is a place they can change to their own whim. However this can make them go insane and and become addicted to living in this ever changing Nether World or become dangerously isolated and unused to reality. Just as some Fair Folk become 'sane.' It's this ability to turn 'things' into abstractions that is the basis of their ability to combat the Fair Folk. They can reverse their physical forms and turn them back into the emotions and ideas they were in the Wyld. They can also learn to do the same to other things. As emotional intensity went into creating an object like a statue they can turn that object back into the emotions that created it and either hold those emotions inside them or release them in a psychic shockwave that floods the minds of everyone nearby. It's this ability to manipulate possibility although in the opposite way to the Fair Folk that lies at the root of all their Charms and gives them the ability to fight the Fair Folk in the way they do and is the reason they spend so much time in the Wyld where their powers are strongest. Just as the Fae can turn themselves as an intention into a physical form the Lunars can turn themselves as a physical form into an intention and so exist in the Wyld.
   Accomplished Lunars see the Wyld as a playground where they can make any dream come true.
   Some Lunars become experienced enough to extend their transformative powers into things they touch. Some can enlarge this effect into the surrounding area. Can moonsilver capture these intentions and turn them into powers for the Lunar to wield?
