Burning Isles [Exalted]

Reader mode
[X] Mnemon Sana: A former officer in the Imperial Legions and your younger sister. A proven leader, with a knack for inspiring those soldiers underneath her command, she has served as your second for the length of the Tairan Campaign. Helping you with learning the intricacies of military tactics throughout the length of the war. Now you serve together again in the hopes of liberating your own homeland

[X] Karal Hamas: The Gens of Lookshy are one of the Confederations most valuable allies. Old rivalries forgotten in the face of the threat the Anathema pose. Hamas is a battle-scarred veteran of wars with the Realm and Anathema both, having been present in the War of Thorns and the war to retake Gloam from the Mask of Winter. He led the contingents of lookshyan commandos during the Tairan Campaign in his own brutal and uncompromising fashion, and he is a difficult man to like, but his support proved invaluable and he has saved your life more than once over the years
 
Oh course, what isn't mentioned in that story is that the Dragonblooded were the footsoldiers of that campaign. Important yes, but ultimately their role was to serve as ablative meatshields, mass production assistants and lesser combatants in enough numbers to ensure that the true dangers to the Primordials were at full strength when they reached each other. The actual champions?

Well, those are the Solars and Lunars we're going up against. It's just, you know, some of the Solars have been corrupted as an ultimate result of the mess you made of Creation overthrowing them. Not without reason, but it also means you lack what legitimacy you had before as it was still an illegitimate coup. Which means Creation has very much run on 'Rule of the Strongest' for the last while. And the Dragonblooded are no longer the clear strongest.

So let's all have fun dealing with the massive amounts of bloodshed ahead of us! XD
 
[X] Palas of Long Nights: Born the day the Shah died, Palas has never known a homeland that unscarred by war. Born the daughter of a minor Naib, her parents brutally killed by the Infant Shahbanu, she has served a dozen masters as a cataphract. Each more desperate than the last in their rebellion against the brutal tyrant. She has fought brutal killers and the shambling corpses of dead friends alike to live to see the end of the war. Now, she joins you to help bring down those that helped destroy her homeland.

[X] Ledaal Veroka: House Ledaal was one of the first victims of the Anathema in the Realm, House Sesus launching a brutal sabotage campaign against the Shadow Crusade in the years leading up to the coup, and culminating in the scattering of the House after the warlord Saloy Hin conquered the southern Isles. Veroka escaped the fate of many in her house, for she was abroad in the South-Western satrapies when the Realm fell, and like many of the surviving Ledaal sought refuge with Mnemon

Yes, though here the situation is a bit more complex, because the Usurpers were themselves Dragon-blooded (and Great Houses at that, so the call was very much coming from inside the house so to speak), it's just their Vibes were rancid enough the Immaculate Order was like "You know what...", next update will focus on the situation on the Isles and how exactly we got in this mess but suffice to say when they say "Anathema" it doesn't just mean "Solars and Lunars" though they are of course included.

Moreover, the statement you were responding to isn't wholly current to the uh, baseline 3e canon ADT and by extension Burning Isles is spun off of. Correct me if you've a different take though, Crill.

Also, votes.

An excellent second in command for when we need to divide(our forces) and conquer.

Okay so I'm working on the next update. Looks like winning votes are:
