Exalted: Solar is our primary game at the moment. Currently we run one storyline actively, and hope to revive the online forum play of at least one more. Our present chronicle is "Song for the Goats", our previous chronicle, unfinished as of now, was the third part of a trilogy of chronicles known collectively as "The Zerund Conflict." It's second installment, the Rise of Sentinel, we hope to play through online. It's worth noting, that as far as general mood goes, the Zerund Conflict chronicles were started when we were all younger, and there's no doubt any readers will notice bold references to any number of roleplaying games out there and a sense of "epic" so massive that it pushes the envelope even for Exalted. "Song for the Goats", on the other hand, is a bit more confined in its scope, though no less grandiose in its events.

A Song for the Goats

The Scavenger Lands, its territories loosely bound only by the Confederation of Rivers, is a land ripe for the rise of tales of all sorts, a place fraught with injustice, peril, danger, and opportunity. The return of the Lawgivers can only mean drastic change awaits the Scavenger Lands, where many of them choose to remain after being reborn. The Exalted of the Scavenger lands can stand idly only for so long as Creation runs its course, and a new era is soon at hand. This is the tale of a group of several such Exalts, and doubtless they will be catalysts to such change... Provided they don't rip each other to pieces first.

Overworld is the story of four Celestial Exalts and their rise to power in the North. The story begins in the Realm satrapy of Frostgate, a small region in the central North, several hundred miles west of Gethamane. A loose alliance between two Solars and two Sun King Seneschal Lunars may prove to put an end to the local governor's iron grip on the people of Covenant.

A Solar circle comes together in the West.

The Zerund Conflict

The mess begins with unstable Solar Exalt Daedric Cyrus paying an unspeakable price for the secrets of the Great Curse. Upon learning them, he goes mad and summons a dead alien god to "cleanse" the world of its incurably corrupt life forces. Soon enough, cults arise, politicians scheme, deals are made, and the nastiest conspiracy this side of the Usurpation erupts forth in no time flat. As if things weren't bad enough, the Ebon Dragon lies on the verge of a breakthrough in his quest to free the Yozis of their prison. Plenty of big swords, wandering warriors, riddle-talking monks, and enigmatic sorcerers to go around here.
