World at War
This book provides an unusual combination of an in depth and comprehensive guide to all major civilisations in Creation. Each chapter is a description of one of the directions of Creation finishing with the Realm with details on all aspects of how the cultures in that direction fight, what problems they face and examples of their military units. They also include to predominant directional military gods and detailed rules for the complications of fighting in each direction. Unfortunately they don't really go to town on naval warfare, I was expecting something different since it's such an unusual arena of conflict and rules for fighting with vehicles are included in Wonders of the Lost Age rather than in this book. This is an important point since there's a long list of conventional vehicles in the back of Scroll of Kings as well as an armoury of new equipment including artillery.
Covering the entirety of Creation (including the supernatural creatures that live within it such as the Lintha and Black Fleet Spectre Commandos ("Deeeaaathhhhh") who are catapulted into battle) keep this book interesting and you can base the army of any ally of foe you're likely to meet on what is in here. Smaller, more esoteric cultures are covered in the Compass of Terrestrial Directions series.
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.
