Uluiru has fallen. It's queen and heir long since dead, its impenetrable borders broken through, only a remnant of the nation remains in a world not their own. How will you survive?
Rising Dawn's Usual Temperament
They're an attempt by Oramus and Sacherrival (However that's spelled) to reverse enginer and duplicate Exaltation for their own use, which they immediately scrapped and buried after the first batch because they got hit by the Law of Diminishment and that scared the shit out of both of them.
If I recall correctly (and I could be wrong here), they were less scared about the law of diminishment and more because it turns out that these things played havoc with parallel worlds / timelines. That is what scared them enough to seal them away.

Also, have Rising Dawn if she were an anime girl (she's got dark brown skin and hair, but just imagine for a minute):

EDIT: Just checked Crucible of Legends, seems we're both right @Alectai

CoL, pg. 153: "Created in the Divine Revolution, the Getimians were jointly born of the ancients known as Oramus and Sacheverell, who sought to create their own champions to counter the warriors of the gods. The cost of creation and the nature of the new Exalted horrified their patrons, and the Getimian Exaltations were sealed in the stronghold of the ancients as a result.

Character Appearances and Your Opportunity
So, as I am writing the results for Turn 2 (on Diplomacy right now), I am realizing that I don't have a solid image for what most of the cast looks like. Obviously Sango and Gwai are fairly set in stone, but the other Advisors and Heroes are at the moment just names and stats. I could just come up with how they might look and dress, but after some thought I decided that maybe it should go at least somewhat to the people

So! If any of you want to tell me how you envision any of the characters, either in text or even in art (apologies if that's presumptuous, just saying it's an option), feel free to do so. I have only a few requirements that must be remembered:
  1. The Sovereigns have eyes whose color matches their Aspect (Diamond for Gwai, Emerald for Abioye, Opal for Ekundayo, Ruby for Chinasa, Sapphire for Fumnanya).
  2. Sovereigns also typically have VERY brightly colored clothes. DBs can be the same for their formal wear, Songbird excluded.
  3. The Dragon-Blooded of course have Anima Markings connecting them to their Aspect (Air for Fuvor, Earth for Nokun, Fire for Flaris, Water for Milosen, Wood for Songbird).
  4. Ekundayo is a short queen and we stan her for it.
  5. Milosen has maroon hair that she inherited from her mom V'neef.
  6. Innocent Songbird has a shaved head and simple robes, as befits an Immaculate Monk.
Outside of these rules, go wild! Those born in Uluiru are more likely to have dark skin and hair, but it's not strictly a requirement per se, just something to keep in mind. Any suggestions for appearance will be taken into account, and in case of any conflicting visions I can put it to a vote if need be. This is my offer for you guys to shape these finer details that I am not sure of, if you have any questions just quote or ping me and I will try to answer as quickly as I can. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to work.
