Do not believe what the scientists tell you. The natural history we know is a lie, a falsehood sold to us by wicked old men who would make the world a dull gray prison and protect us from the dangers inherent to freedom. They would have you believe our planet to be a lonely starship, hurtling through the void of space, barren of magic and in need of a stern hand upon the rudder.

Close your mind to their deception. The time before our time was not a time of senseless natural struggle and reptilian rage, but a time of myth and sorcery. It was a time of legend, when heroes walked Creation and wielded the very power of the gods. It was a time before the world was bent, a time before the magic of Creation lessened, a time before the souls of men became the stunted, withered things they are today.

This is the story of that time.

THIS IS THE STORY OF THE EXALTED.

Creation is a dangerous place, and there are no more powerful magnets for danger than the returned Solar Exalted. With a list of enemies dating back to the First Age, the Lawgivers will be hardpressed to survive long enough to set the world aright. Of course, the only thing the Solars are better at than making enemies is forging alliances. If the Solars can succeed in making more friends than enemies in this Time of Tumult, perhaps a new golden age may be built after all.

This book includes:

In this fourth of Exalted's five Books of Sorcery, elementals and spirits finally get their due.

In addition, it also reveals the many spirit Charms available to these divine beings (as well as to enterprising Eclipse and Moonshadow Caste Exalted).

This book includes:

In this fifth of Exalted’s five Books of Sorcery, the nature and powers of the myriad of ghosts and demons that have endangered Creation since the Primordial War are explored. Eschewing the Cycle of Reincarnation, ghosts are an affront to the natural order, bringing more power to the Neverborn through their very existence, and even more so through the ancestor cults, which promote ghost worship. Demons, meanwhile, are the spawn of the imprisoned Yozis, called forth from Malfeas to do the will of powerful sorcerers or escaped into the world where they might cause havoc and do the will of their trapped progenitors. Will the returned Lawgivers succeed in curbing these spirits’ effect on Creation, or are even the Solars endangered by the machinations of these beings and their dire masters?

A Magical Sourcebook for Exalted®, Second Edition contains:

Once the abode of the gods and home to the Old Realm's Lawgivers and their Lunar consorts, the Blessed Isle is now the center of the Creation-spanning Scarlet Empire, ruled by the Empress and her Terrestrial Exalted children. Spared the worst of the Contagion, the Fair Folk invasion that followed and the centuries of conflict and want that reduced the rest of the world to barbarism and savagery, the Isle remains the jewel or Creation.

But now, the architect of the Blessed Isle's long peace, the Scarlet Empress, has vanished. With no clear heir, the Great Houses gird themselves for civil war. On top of that, the long-forgotten Lawgivers have returned to claim dominion over Creation. Will the Blessed Isle's tranquility be shattered at last, or is there still some way to shield Creation's heart from the Time of Tumult?

The first of five Celestial Direction books devoted to fleshing out the bare bones of Creation's supernatural locales presented in the Exalted core book, this book includes:

The third of five books dedicated to the supernatural locales of the Exalted setting, this supplement focuses on the Celestial City of Yu-Shan, home of the gods. Built by the Primordials as a refuge in which they might enjoy the Games of Divinity, while their subordinates tended to Creation, Yu-Shan was taken by the gods as the spoils of the Primordial War. Home to a massive bureaucracy rife with corruption, the continent-sized city has been the sole province of the Sidereal Exalts since the Usurpation. Will the Solar Exalted’s return upset the status quo of the Celestial City, or will the Chosen of the Maidens succeed in maintaining their monopoly on the resources of Heaven?

A Guide to the Land of the Dead

The fourth of five books dedicated to the supernatural locales of the Exalted setting, this supplement focuses on the Underworld, land of the dead. Created by the death of Primordials in their war with the Exalted, the Underworld is now home to billions of ghosts who have escaped the Cycle of Reincarnation. Will the returned Solars unite to destroy it as an affront to the proper function of Creation, or will they be seduced by its dark beauty and the power its dark art of necromancy offers, becoming like the corrupt Abyssal Exalted who call the place home?

A setting book for Exalted® Second Edition

A Guide to Creation’s Far East

Beyond the Scavenger Lands lies much more than a rough frontier of rural backwaters and petty kingdoms. The Far East is full of nations that rival its supposedly more “civilized” neighbors in terms of size and sophistication, from the warring states of Linowan and Halta, to the floating land of Metagalapa and even grim Sijan, ancient city of the honored dead. Still, the region’s reputation as a land of untamed wilds and rough barbarians is not without merit, as the broad Eastern forests are home to a myriad of human, once human and completely inhuman tribes. The wealth of the East lies within these forests, waiting for those brave enough to take it.

A setting book for Exalted®, Second Edition, featuring:

Exalted RPG 2nd Edition: Compass of Terrestrial Directions Vol.1: The Scavenger Lands

The Confederation of Rivers

Forged from the shattered remains of the Dragon-Blooded Shogunate and tempered in the fires of war, the so-called Scavenger Lands continue to stand in defiance of the tyranny of the Realm, as they have done for eight centuries. Ranging from mighty Lookshy in the west to the eclectic Hundred Kingdoms in the east, the states of the former River Province offer a treasure trove of First Age wonders, minor dominions and mortal followers for the returned Solar Exalt willing to risk the wrath of the Seventh Legion to claim them.

A setting book for Exalted®, Second Edition

Outside the bounds of Creation, there exists an infinite expanse of roiling chaos that breaks upon the shaped world like a stormtossed sea against the shore, threatening to wear it away. Where it does wear away, reality breaks down and savage denizens of the chaos beyond Creation dwell.

The second of five Celestial Direction books devoted to fleshing out the bare bones of Creation’s supernatural locales presented in the Exalted core book, this book includes:

A Guide to the Princes of the Earth

Gifted with power by the Five Immaculate Dragons, the Terrestrial Exalted once formed the backbone of the Solar Deliberative’s grand army. Then, when the Solars went mad with power, the Dragon-Blooded Host rose up as one to slay the tyrants and set the world aright. Can the Dragon-Bloods hold onto the reins of power, or does the return of the Solar Exalted mean the hegemony of the 10,000 Dragons is at an end?

A character sourcebook for Exalted®, Second Edition

Gifted with power by the Celestial Incarna Luna, the Lunar Exalted were once the mates of the Solar Exalted and trusted Stewards of the Old Realm. Then, after the Lawgivers went mad with power and their Dragon-Blooded troops rose up to slay them, the Lunars retreated to the edges of Creation, biding their time and massing their forces to one day bring down the hated Realm. With the Solars returning en masse, have the Lunars waited too long to bring down the old order and replace it, or does the return of their ancient mates signal that the time is finally at hand for vengeance?

A character sourcebook for Exalted featuring:

A Guide to the Viziers of Creation

Gifted with power by the Five Maidens, the Sidereal Exalted were once the trusted advisors to the Old Realm’s Solar masters. However, believing the Curse-maddened Lawgivers’ irredeemable and unshakably convinced in their moral duty, the Chosen of the Maidens persuaded the Dragon-Blooded to rise up and slaughter their masters in order to end the Solars’ depredations. Since that time, the Sidereals have influenced events behind the scenes in order to safeguard Creation from its myriad of enemies. But with the return of the Solars, the advent of the deathknights, the Dragon-Blooded Realm nearing civil war, the tribes of the Lunars threatening war and the Fair Folk massing for another assault on the shaped world, will the Fivefold Fellowship win the day or will its many sacrifices have been for naught?

A character sourcebook for Exalted®, Second Edition, featuring:

A Guide to the Knights of the Underworld

Gifted by the Deathlords with the corrupted Essences of Solar Exalts, the Abyssal Exalted are perhaps the greatest extant threat to Creation and its Exalted defenders. Frozen at the brink of death and offered immense power in exchange for servitude to the Neverborn, these so called knights of death ride forth with one shared mission, to drag the world and all that lives into the Void at their masters’ behest. Will the Abyssals succeed at their abhorrent task, or will the faint echo of their lost lot as heroes drive them to redeem themselves and, just maybe, rejoin the ranks of the Sun’s Chosen?

Abyssals includes:

If there is one surety in the Time of Tumult, it is that there will be war. As nation struggles against nation, as the deathknights ride forth from the shadowlands, as the Realm slips closer and closer to civil war, as the Solars return to reclaim the Mandate of Heaven, wars engulf Creation. And if you’re going to fight a war, fight to win. From the frozen steppes of the North to the burning wastes of the South, from the mysterious forests of the East to the savage islands of the West, from all four corners of the world to the heart of Creation, master the combat styles of all nations and wield them against your foes on the field of battle. The tools to do so are contained within.

This book does the following:

From the back alleys of Nexus to the hectic thoroughfares of the Imperial City, from the wide avenues of Yu-Shan to the twisting corridors of the Labyrinth, martial artists of all kinds stride the mean streets of the Exalted world, living their lives by esoteric codes of honor and neither offering nor accepting quarter from their enemies. Will the return of the Solar Exalted throw the Martial Arts World into chaos, or will that culture’s Sidereal masters rein in the Lawgivers or put them down permanently?

The Power of Sorcery Is Limitless

Disciples of the Children of Light

Despite the persecution of the Immaculates, despite the corruption of Heaven, there are those who believe that one day, the world will be a better place. Saviors will bring justice and peace to the world, they say. The Cult of the Illuminated believes, and serves the Gold Faction of Sidereals, protecting young Solar Exalted from the depredations of the Wyld Hunt and the Bronze Faction.

This is the fallen capital of a race of god-lizards that were old when man was young. To those who can uncover its secrets, Rathess is a fortress and a treasure trove.

Relics of the Time before Man

Can even the Exalted dare these jungle ruins?

The Ancient Secrets of Sorcery

During the First Age, Creation swarmed with sorcerers, magicians and savant-engineers. These Exalted and miracle-workers made the world a place of wonder. Now, at the twilight of the Second Age of Man, Creation is a place of ignorance. Splendors lie in ruins and secrets are forgotten.
