1) What kind of power scaling wise does an exalted have as default because it seams like Fan is just human with some voodoo magic to make people run away as opposed to what wiki seams to say about new Exalted. Feels weaker than just Competent psyker atm.
Exalted are beings with Conceptual powers. Their powers are scaled from Dragonblooded being at the bottom and Solars at the top. You are an Infernal and are technically a corrupted Solar.
As for what they can do, they can kill things that do not have the concept of death as a default. They also unintentionally were given additional powers like being the perfect ruler etc, depending on the type. Your powers, listed here and here
In the arid deserts of Colchis, where the sun beats down mercilessly and the sands whisper ancient secrets, you, Fan Morgal, stand at a crossroads. Your tribe, the Decline, teeters on the brink of extinction, their water supply all but gone and their enemies closing in. Desperation led you to...

So You have "Cartoon super Villain" powers, like mind control, telekinesis, Sorcery, summoning demons/spirits etc. It is best described as the Character saying "NO" to whatever bad things that I write happening to it. Does an enemy unleash an unavoidable death beam? I survive it. But it cannot be resisted. I do so anyway.
So on a Micro or character scale they are VERY powerful, depending on what they do. There are also Casts or classes like Warrior, Priest, leader etc.
You are a Defuiler, or Madscientist/MadSorceror and are unrivaled at making impossible artifacts and casting spells and magics with absurd ease. You can LITERALLY make Gods and Demigods, which are comparable to Primarches and the Chaos Gods, Caveat being it will NOT be easy and there are some very LARGE requirements for it.
On the Macro Scale, they do individually fall a bit, being more comparable to a Primarch or the Emperor. They can organize some good stuff but the Scale of an Exalted was made for Creation, which is a Large world but only a single World.
2) Is this a quasi advisor quest where Fan will be playing second fiddle to Lorgar the entire time and is just destined to be advisor 1 for the first million words? Because I fail to see how he can gain the power to be anything but subsumed by Lorgar for the majority of the quest. If it's an advisor quest cool but I want to know what I'm signing up for in terms of agency.
No. Lorgar is Fan's son and as a Primarch, and while he will have his moments, so will Fan and the other circle members.
It is my failing as a Writer, this being my second serious quest, that at some parts, Lorgar does overshadow others, but I do fix that as you read on.
3) Visually are we destined to be the manlet that only comes up to Lorgar's knees because the no super human augments lest ye no longer be Exalted thing. Because that's a quack image to my 8ft tall super soldier visualising mind.
As a Infernal, you can LITERALLY turn into a Walking Ground Zero. Think of a Demon Emperor in Armor, Think green nuclear hate fire bursting out of the cracks in the armor, think those flames inflicting magic radiation sickness on all those close by who do not KNEEL before you.
It is also not that you do not benifit from implants, or that you loose them, it is just that you need to make Magic implants so they stack with your transformation powers, like the Demon Emperor Transformation.
4) Is this destined to be a Cholchis only quest or is there plans to go on the crusade and see more than desert.
No. One of the pulls is that you can start making your own 500 Worlds of Ultramar and try and get that done before the Emperor arrives. You have the ring of Iron up and have a decent chance of doing it as of the latest update. I am currently setting up the space around the planet for you guys to explore.
5) Is there any empire building to be done al la develop the planet or is it all just narrative this happens type stuff.
You have beein doing that through turn 8 and now are moving on to the space building phase of the Quest.
