So, considering that apparantly their is enough energy around the support the existence of beings such as Uriel, why is it that the exaltations are unable to operate at full capacity during this era when taking that into account? Considering that in the pdf low essence levels is why the exalted are limited to E5?

Well for one because Uriel's energy comes from his patron, he does not just mooch off free floating stuff, though that would imply that the Fallen might be good reservoirs to drain essence off of to break the cap into celestial essence tiers. An Abyssal would have a much easier time of it, but hey the Infernal Exaltations are always willing to try any twisting of the natural order in their favor at least once. :V

Sidequest:
Capture and drain a Fallen for 50% discount to Essence 4.

Why would Mab like that wishy-washy answer?

The two standard options are clear, either allow her to make her pitch later in privacy of force her to make her pitch now. With witnesses.

Why shouldn't she simply proceed to make her pitch right now if she gets such a lackluster answer?

The question I ask if I want to have privacy or not. If it was only Dresden here, I wouldn't mind.
But it's also Gard and Mathews.

And the source of power for Uriel's patron is unknown basically. I have a theory on where he is getting that power in this crossover but there are some problems with it, particularly in how the patron is able to get so much of it. Along with not being sure why there is such a difference in scale between the primordials and the beings in the crossover.
 
Question Uju, if you think that the Angel's are so far beyond that of the Exalted can you explain on why they find the Crown which Molly has so dangerous to them in the first place to the point of directly asking her not to use it on them and assigning Michael to her?
It's not that she might learn information that would endanger the White God or its agents, but rather that there is simply some stuff in DF which is inherently dangerous to know, either for the holder of that knowledge or for reality itself.

As a hypothetical example, for all we know, learning the WG's True Name might implode the galaxy we're living in as part of an automatic defense mechanism.

If he is equivalent to a Primordial then he is a set of physics in himself.

There's no need for any external power.

I don't like the write-in, committing to at least hearing her out doesn't seem like a serious cost for not antagonizing her(or coming off as someone who doesn't try to antagonize her).

That cannot be the explanation when their is said to be no danger to the holder whatsoever and their is no way for any defense system to know we have it either, since that is not mentioned as a risk whatsoever.

On the matter of things that might perhaps be too arcane, too dangerous, say the current thoughts of an Outsiders or 'how did the Fall happen?' your crown will prioritize keeping your mind intact over the fidelity of the data. It is not going to feed the raw stuff of mind-bending madness into your head just because you asked the wrong question. That said you can totally find out things that you would rather not know so you should be careful of that.

Small hint since you did poke cosmic emptiness: The Universe feels thin, like butter scraped over too much bread. ;)

My understanding?
Because the danger is not to them, its to Humanity. Agents of the White God dont mess with people's free will, but the opposition will try to whenever they can.

Some information out there will harm people in job lots.
And our knowing some stuff will give the opposition justification to act more freely.

I mean, humans are the only people who can let Outsiders into reality.
Not Reds or Blacks or Fae or dragons or demons or Fallen.
It takes a mortal.

Hmmm....
 
If we get to spend EXP before the next round with Mab, another 2 dots of Etiquette for 5XP sound very nice right now.
 
As in, Uriel is benchmarked at popping galaxies.
Thats significantly beyond Primordial-power levels in any Exalted universe, whether canon or the Shards of the Exalted Dream worlds. I really dont think the Exalted Host would stand a prayer against him, let alone his boss.

No, it's pretty much in line with what Primordials are stated to be capable of in Gunstar Autochthonia. We only get a brief mention of what the war was like, but it's pretty explicit:

"None can say for sure the precise moment when the Chosen
knew defeat. Was it when the Principle of Hierarchy set the
Spiral ablaze with white flame, burning entire galaxies to

stellar ash? When Isidoros unleashed his apocalypse-jouten,
obliterating countless armies in a blink of his dread eye?
When the Unconquered Sun knelt before his titanic father,
pledging fealty to the Universe Emperor?"
