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.

Meta Existence

    How can anything be greater than perfection? Be more expansive than limitlessness? The Primordials were such things. Their transcendental Essence allowed them to be so. But they could also not be less. As mighty as the Incarnae were, the Exalted were made to do things they could not. The Warstriders, especially Royal Warstriders, may be something more than as simple and almost vulgar as a means to might, but a way of entering Yu-Shan, confronting the Primordials and striking them down. Creation was too confined for beings that werre greater than existence itself. No mortal mind, not even a god's, could fathom the Essence of the Primordials. The Unconquered Sun was the apogee of existence but even he was limited by the constraints of reality. He was made to be master of the world but could not understand the things that lay beyond it. The Primordials desired a place where they could exist outside the Wyld and in Yu-Shan they created it. Protected by the planes of Creation, beings of such power they exceeded the concept of size could exist in safety. Yu-Shan, like it's creators, is a realm greater than any mortal mind's ability to fathom. As such it is maddening as the mind constantly warps in an attempt to understand it's surroundings. Only the sleeping mind of Luna could understand such a place for she sees nothing except in her dreams.

   Note: The idea of Luna never being awake is not very good. The Unconquered Sun rules Creation during the day. When Luna sleeps and night falls that powers becomes hers.
