Realm Roundup

https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wondrous-atlas-of-creations-destiny/episodes/Exalted-Story-Hooks---Realm-Roundup-e2a10p9 The Wondrous Atlas crew discuss what you can do with all the various bits of the Realm that we didn't cover in the previous episodes of Season Two. It's a bit disjointed, brace for sudden changes of topic. In addition to talking the All-Seeing Eye, Mountainfolk and the Imperial City, we wrap up with … Continue reading Realm Roundup

Realm Roundup

https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wondrous-atlas-of-creations-destiny/episodes/Exalted-Lore---Realm-Roundup-e2a0cr5 The Wondrous Atlas round off its second season by discussing the bits of the Realm that we haven't covered so far in discussing Creation's biggest empire. We discuss the life of the Scarlet Empress, the All-Seeing Eye, Scarlet Prefecture, the Mountainfolk and more, with segues that will probably give you whiplash. We even sneak … Continue reading Realm Roundup

Realm Education

It's back to school for the Wondrous Atlas lads as we go over the different kinds of stories you can tell in and around the Realm's education system. As well as discussing general principles about how to run lesson content and "extracurricular" activies, we discuss what kinds of story each school is best suited to tell, and how to run things from the teachers' perspective as well as the pupils. We also present a different story seed for each of the main schools, as well as presenting an off-the-wall story using the schools a springboard for a runaway game.

Realm Education

Aramithius and Realz turn to the systematised child abuse that is the Realm education system, covering everything from when tutelage starts at the age of three(!) to the end of secondary school at twenty-one. We discuss the varied curricular of the military academies of the House of Bells and Pasiap's Stair, the bureaucratic sweatshop that is the Spiral Academy, the place of tranquility and punching that is the Cloister of Wisdom, and the metaphysical laboratory of the Heptagram sorcery school, along with a host of minor schools.

Immaculate Order

Raelz and Aramithius discuss the kind of games you can run with the Immaculate Order, and as befits a Creation-spanning ogranisation, we go... lots of places and themes, with some vain attempts to keep us on track injected at appropriate points. We cover how to reflect the Immaculate Order permeating Realm society, the kinds of things to do with a party of Immaculate monks, and wrap up concocting an audacious "missionary" scenario into Great Forks, which feels like it's Breaking Bad: Immaculate Edition.

House V’neef

Aramithius and Raelz talk over the themes of House V'neef, and what kind of games you can run with them. Essentially, anything you want to make of them, as we realise that they're the "make them your own" Great House, while at the same time allowing PCs to play with Big Name NPCs with impunity. We finish with not one but two storylines being plotted out!

House V’neef

The Wondrous Atlas crew talk over the newest Great House, the motley bunch of outcastes that comprise them, and the daughter of the Empress that leads them. On the way, we cover their character (or lack of it), get embroiled in their plan (or lack of it) for the Scarlet Throne, and have both of us burst into song at one point. Not for long, we promise! Also, new video podcast features are on show, with map zooming!

House Tepet

Aramithius and Raelz discuss what to do with the past-it House that is Great House Tepet. We discuss how to present themes of time moving past the House, where Tepet can find a place in the current Realm, how not to use the Roseblack, and how one of the best archetypes of House Tepet is basically Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender. We also cover a few ideas on games in Lord's Crossing, while basically admitting that it's basically the Home Counties as a prefecture. We finish with a game outline for giving House Tepet a new home and other fun things to do with the folks in Lookshy.

House Tepet

The Wondrous Atlas opened on House Tepet, a Great House that is defined by a proud military tradition and the most terrible Realm military defeat in centuries. They're a House defined by their military culture, their destruction at the hands of a Solar Exalted, many ambitious personalities (including Raelz's crush), and their vast amount of dog breeders.
