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.

Creation 3 Dimentional

    Creation according to the rules is a flat earth world but what of the earth below it and the sky above? If there is a Pole of Ice in the north it makes sense there would be a Pole of Air in the Sky. Far in the night sky are portals to Yu-Shan held an infinite distance from Creation that were accessed Starships in the First Age. Sidereal Martial Artists can leap through these portals to enter or return from Heaven.
   The ground near the Elemental Poles isn't necessarily the same aspect as the Pole, there isn't thousands of miles of ocean around the Pole of Water. The season of an element is the time when it's Pole Essence is strongest and flows through Creation rousing Elementals and empowering them. They naturally regain the most Essence during their Season.
   The actions of Earth Elementals are characterised by massive effort over extremely long ages, but when they act the effects are cataclysmic. Earth Elementals can move whole continents, cause massive earthquakes and raise mountain ranges or open vast chasms.

Seasons

    During the Season of Water, the ice from the Season of Storms melts. During the Season great rain fall and snow melts to flood rivers as the earth starts to warm again. Snows that fall on fields melt and soak the ground. In warmer places especially around heavy rains fall. The sudden influx of water into the land and the warming weather paves the way for the Season of Wood which is he most bountiful season of the year as conditions are perfect; wet but not flooded, warm but not scorching, that sees plants grow more than any other time of year. During the Season of Fire the Sun shines the strongest and Creation becomes hottest. Harvests are usually gathered during the Season of Fire before the ground becomes too dry for crops to live or they'll wither in the fields. Animals are killed for food at this time of year before they put too much strain on the drying land. During the Season of Earth the land dries out completely and the ground itself often becomes exposed in lifeless fields. The power of the Sun diminishes but rain rarely falls. During each season of the year spirits of each element run riot across Creation. Like the forces of nature they represent they revel in the short lived opportunity when their powers are at their greatest.
   The Pole of Wood embodies all the other elements combined to form life.

   Water elementals' powers: flood, tidal waves, whirlpool- maelstrom, tide, current, waves.
