Welp, when it rains it pours. When my group's usual time came around a couple of weeks ago, a combination of circumstances outside our collective control thwarted both our main day and our backup day. And then, when we played this past Sunday, Zac and Bryan informed me that because their schedule's settled down we'd be able to move to a weekly Tuesday schedule instead of every other Sunday for at least a while. So we went ahead and played again this week!
As a result, I've got a post for two sessions' worth of stuff here. I considered splitting it up, but nah. It neatly finishes out the current story, and to be honest, I'm not sure the second session would be long enough on its own to justify a separate post. (This is Chris from the future coming back to edit in: Actually, it would have been. Oops.) But either way, this wraps up the second story of the chronicle and the mini-arc with the puzzle box.
Also, just to make things a little easier for folks just coming in, over on my Actual Play index I've expanded the description of the Exalted game to better delineate the game's story arcs. Hope it helps!
This has turned out to be a pretty long post (with all of the footnotes), so the sooner we start the sooner we finish!
So last time we left off with the Circle of Lunars having just beaten up a Dragon-Blooded gang leader and earning a week of breathing room for Fedan Shipping and specifically Kukane, who manages it. They're planning to use that time to track down Châu Bảo Long, the merchant who hired the Onyx Jackals to shake down Fedan's local office and drive them out of business. Shango tells them what little he knows of Châu Bảo Long, which is mostly what he looks like (a Tengese man in his 30's with a 'John Waters' mustache and a goatee), and that he likes the social scene. Shango comments it should be easy enough to infiltrate another such party to get close to him, and Hǎifēng (who's a bit of a party animal[0]), likes this idea.
So the trio hop a canal boat back to the less-warehouse-y parts of the city and do some digging around and discover that there's a party the next night! Apparently the prince's cousin is getting married to a Dynast and the local Guild merchants are throwing a huge party to basically promote themselves as the ones to manage the actual wedding, but that means that a Guild merchant like Long is certainly going to be there. So with a day to prepare, we have a quick shopping montage.
The following evening comes quickly, the party beginning as the hot summer afternoon begins to drift into a comfortable dusk. People are out in the streets talking about the party, which is being held at the estate of a powerful spice merchant named Cinnamon Eagle. Rumors fly that one or more of the princes are going to show up -- particularly Prince Laxhander, the ruler of the Shore Lands region of An-Teng where the city is located, since it's his cousin getting married. Local vendors and street performers are out and about, taking advantage of the hullabaloo to hawk wares and build reputation. Nearby, someone from the household gives food out to the local homeless and such to basically keep them from crowding around the front gate where a couple of guards keep the undesirables out of what's supposed to be a public event.
They make sure to show up fashionably late, about when lanterns and torches are lit as the sun is setting.[1] Xương shows up wearing just a sarong and a turban and having smeared himself in some sort of lotion with gold flakes. Hǎifēng is going with billowy pants, small shoes, an open-chest top, and they have their makeup done. Shango's basically wearing his normal party clothes, as he initially left his home with little more than the clothes on his back, but he does have a chain shirt on underneath in case a fight breaks out.
They get past the guards without a problem, and head into a big walled courtyard at Cinnamon Eagle's estate. Lots of people are milling about, eating free snacks and drinking free booze and such. Armed guards linger around the periphery, though their clothing is mismatched enough that it's extremely likely that the merchants putting on this shindig have just combined their personal bodyguards into a loose security force. A balcony overlooks the courtyard, and judging from the nice clothes visible from the ground -- and the fact that Xương recognizes General Shuri the Scarlet, commander of An-Teng's Realm garrison -- it's intended for VIPs.
And at the corner of that balcony, standing alone and looking out over the people, they can clearly see Châu Bảo Long.
They make a beeline for the doorway into the building so they can get to the balcony. On the way, Hǎifēng (who has a plan) tells Xương to 'look imposing' and Shango to 'look important.' They fix their hair as they approach the guards, and tells them they're expected up on the balcony. They then ask Shango "What's the name of the client, again?" and Shango, pretending to be their pimp, names Châu Bảo Long. Basically, they're trying to convince the guards that they're a prostitute on a job.[2]
The guards are skeptical, and they offer to circle back later and make it worth their while if they help them out with this job. They use one of their Charms to help sell it, and manage to wear down one of the guard's defenses that they can put a little more Essence into their efforts to convince the guy to let them in, and it works.[3] The group goes inside, seeing servants rushing to and fro, getting things together to take outside for the guests both in the courtyard and on the balcony, and they take the stairs up.
The balcony is much more sparsely populated, much quieter, and the sort of place where refreshments are carried around on trays rather than spread out on banquet tables. The Circle can see Prince Laxhander's cousin and his betrothed, Arris and Ragara Tak (respectively). General Shuri is there in bright red armor, talking to a well-dressed brown-skinned woman in her thirties. Nearby, a woman dressed in courtly clothes and glasses[4] with a pale blue tinge to her skin (suggesting Western heritage) tries and fails not to look bored as she watches the conversation. There are also various other local merchants and such, obviously wealthy folks.
And then there's Châu Bảo Long, at the opposite corner of the balcony, watching the people down below.
The Circle cross the balcony to head in his direction, drawing some attention as they do so (we have a bit of a running gag where Xương is badly pretending to be a lime merchant). Hǎifēng saunters up to him with all of the confidence they can muster and introduces themself and engages in some flirtatious small talk. Like with the guard earlier, they try to stir Long's *ahem* interest in them so they can go talk about a 'business proposition' in private[5], successfully do so, and the pair duck into the building where they go into a sitting room and we fade to black for the length of a commercial break.
While they're getting dressed and Long is fishing out some silver to pay Hǎifēng, the Lunar gives a subtle signal and the others come in (basically having waited so the merchant would be worn down some and keep him off-balance) and close the door behind them. Xương immediately starts menacing him, talking about the sinking of the Daana'd's Wake to see if Long knows anything about the pirates that went after the puzzle box, but the man is just utterly baffled. So they then shift approaches, trying to get him to back off of Fedan Shipping.
Long starts to explain to them that this is how business is done, and Fedan turned down an offer he'd previously made to buy them out. He then makes the Circle a counter-offer: They help him take over Fedan Shipping, he helps them get what they need from the office, and then he'll pay them what he was paying the Onyx Jackals. They consider it for all of about two seconds, tops, because Châu Bảo Long is a Guild merchant and among other things, the Guild basically makes the Creation-wide slave trade possible.
So Xương then makes the counter-offer that either Long backs off of Fedan Shipping or Xương takes his kneecaps. The threat is sufficiently convincing, and Long agrees and promises to send a runner in the morning to the Onyx Jackals to tell them the deal's off. And as near as they can tell, he's sincere about it, and they let him leave. They go back out onto the balcony to partake of the free snacks, glancing down to see him leaving the party through the courtyard.
While they're out there, the woman with the pale blue skin approaches them and introduces herself as Tong Kaim. She's an advisor to (and a liaison between) the Three Princes and An-Teng's satrap, Ragara Soras Jor -- none of whom are in attendance, but this is just important enough she's here to keep an eye on it on their behalf. And basically, the fact that three people on the VIP balcony are not known to her is a problem that she feels needs corrected. Xương gives her his 'lime merchant' line in between bites of food, and she just takes him in stride. When Shango introduces herself, she recognizes his name because his family runs a major shipping company in Zhaojūn, and she assumes he's here representing their business interests. He plays it off like that's exactly what he's here for, and she takes interest in the fact that his family are reaching out this far north.
Afraid of being caught out in an extended lie, he gives her the usual "don't let me keep you" bit, and she replies that this is the most important thing she could be doing right now, with a bit of a chuckle. However, Shango gets a vibe off of her[6] that there's a deeper meaning to that. She's exceedingly hard to read, but he realizes that while she says 'this is the most important thing I could be doing' in a tone implying that she simply has nothing better to do, there are subtle quirks to her facial expression and voice that make it clear that learning more about these three strangers is in fact very important. So they chat for another moment or two and she goes to check on the general, and as soon as she's gone Shango nervously grabs two glasses of wine from a servant and downs them, knowing that she's definitely going to be trouble down the road.
The Circle spends the rest of the party up on the balcony, at one point Hǎifēng spotting Copper Orchid in the crowd below and giving him a wave. And at the end of the night they actually do circle back around to tell that guard where to find them when his shift is up because even if they were manipulating the guy for their own ends, they always pay what they owe.
So we jump ahead to the next day, where the group goes to Fedan Shipping, and Kukane shows them an anonymous note he received that says, in so many words, 'The mercenaries you hired worked out, well done.' So they bring in the chest with the puzzle box, and Kukane pulls out the coded manifest in a hidden compartment in the lid. He deciphers it (with what appears to have been a one-time pad) and explains that someone is supposed to show up in a couple of days to collect the package after some pre-arranged call-and-response password stuff (the instructions for which are in the coded note). He doesn't know who sent the chest or who's supposed to retrieve it, but he suspects it's intended for a group of people and the shipper simply didn't know who'd be picking it up. As it's very important to the characters that they find out who's supposed to receive the box and they did him a major favor, Kukane agrees to let them 'hold onto it for safekeeping' and when the intended recipient turns up, he'll steer them to where the group is staying. They agree that's the easiest way to handle this, and they go about their way.
A few days pass, during which Copper Orchid hooks the trio up with a proper apartment, as he owns a couple of buildings and is usually able to make a unit available to Hǎifēng to use when they're in the city.[7] Hǎifēng and Shango immediately move to the apartment, though Xương stays at the inn for now to make sure he can be found by whoever's coming for the box.
Copper Orchid also arranges some work for Hǎifēng, mostly some escorting and a few shifts at fancy upper-class bathhouses. Xương spends a little bit of time doing some work at a local clinic but decides after that to mostly stick around the inn since he doesn't know how much longer until the mystery guest shows up. As this is all still Shango's first trip to An-Teng, he mostly spends his time familiarizing himself with the city, local culture, food, etc.
A few days later, there's a knock at Xương's door, a little earlier than he'd have liked, and he opens it with the intent to find out who's bothering him this early. There's a young woman at the door, maybe 20, with local features and a tan that suggests most of those 20 years were spent doing labor outside. She nervously introduces herself as Jian and says she's here for the puzzle box. He asks her about who it's for, and she doesn't want to say in public. So he invites her inside.
She glances off to the side while she talks, and he realizes she's looking at someone. He pokes his head out and sees a guy a few years older, also clearly someone who works outside, and just kind of looking tough as he leans against the wall with a kama tucked into his belt at the end of the hallway. It's sort of like when you see a movie where someone is on vacation, and there's some local street tough sizing him up for an impending mugging. This guy looks like the local street tough in that scenario.
Xương waves the guy over. Said guy glances at Jian, she nods at him, and he shrugs and joins them in the room. The guy closes the door behind him and moves to lean against the wall in the corner, almost like he's returning to an idle animation, as Xương indicates that there's an open window if they feel they need to scream for help at any point. He then goes on to explain the sinking of the Daana'd's Wake and that as the one who reclaimed the box from the pirates, he can claim right of salvage. Jian pales with worry at this. He then says that he's more than willing to give it to them, but his 'finder's fee' is finding out who's going to receive it.
She considers this for a moment, and then decides to go ahead and tell him. It's for the Golden Lord, a powerful god who's been local to An-Teng ever since the First Age. He's the sanctioned arbiter of Heaven and judge of the Solar Exalted, appointed by the Unconquered Sun himself back in the day. But he's powerful enough and influential enough with the populace that the Immaculate Order simply can't fully suppress local worship of him. He's someone that the Lunars should consider an ally.
And then he asks who the box is really for. Not who's receiving it, but the contents inside. Jian says that she's not sure, and she doesn't think the Golden Lord knows yet either. Which, by the way, indicates to Xương that she's been trusted to know what's in the box. His read of her is that she's on the up and up and sincerely faithful to the Golden Lord. He tells her and her associate that he wants to round up a couple of his friends and accompany Jian to deliver the box to make sure everyone gets there safely.
With a very pointed look, Jian asks Xương if he's opened the box, as she knows (but doesn't say) that only someone who can manipulate Essence can open it. He says he has, and then he lights up his caste mark, a silver disc shining on his forehead. She's not surprised, but definitely awed at it. Her associate looks way out at his depth, though. He tells her that if she knows what that is, then they're allies, and she nods.
Xương asks for an hour to gather his associates, and she gives him an address to meet them at. Soon enough, they're all at a dock where a boat is ready to take them deeper into the countryside. There are introductions all around, and it turns out that Jian's associate is one of pair of twins (the Khangs, kind of a "This is Liam and this is Liam's brother" situation) who are among An-Teng's riverfolk, piloting boats up and down the rivers and canals of the nation. It's going to be a long trip -- over two weeks there and back, but the boat should be comfortable enough for them to make the journey.[8]
The boat takes them out of the city, up the River of Queens, past mangrove swamps, orchards, and some newly-built poppy plantations. Early on, they get a distant glimpse of the City of the Steel Lotus's Palace of the Threefold Magnificence. The river's banks are well maintained to keep the waterway consistent for travel, and the coastal brackish water clears as the city and bay leave their sight.
They pass from the Shore Lands into An-Teng's Middle Lands, swamps giving way to the Forest of Compassion. Smaller canals and tributaries branch off of the river into the woods, where beyond the trees river valleys are home to rice and cotton plantations. In the distance they get a glimpse of elephants, though not a good enough look to tell whether they're wild or part of a logging operation. They stop for supplies in Prosperous Garden, the capital of the Middle Lands, where local custom has all but the poorest people growing their own gardens, and flowers serve as a local crop in addition to rice and other staples. Jian makes it a point to visit the Golden Lord's local temple, which is far and away nicer than the Immaculate temple -- even the Pale Mistress, whom nobody actually likes, has a better temple than the Immaculate Order here.[9]
Not that it's on the route, but those of the group familiar with An-Teng's geography are aware that somewhere to the west, the former capital of the nation sits in the middle of what is now a potent Shadowland.
Sometime after they return to the river, in passing Jian points out a canal that leads to the mulberry plantation where her family farms silk, though most of those farmers will never see or wear the clothing made from it. As they continue upriver, they stop off again for supplies at the city of Adorned with Wisdom as a Sapphire or just 'Sapphire' for short. It's a city of academia and Old Realm architecture, full of young people away from their families and expanding their horizons in schools known to eagerly teach more about the true history of An-Teng than the Scarlet Dynasty would prefer. The handful of Dynasts they do spot are clearly academics here for study, rather than decadent nobles on vacation.
The boat moves into the longest continuous stretch of river, where things are relatively slow and quiet, with farms and plantations and villages dotting the landscape until they reach Thousand Dragons Lake. The climate cools as the mountains of the High Lands rise before them and many little trade villages dot the shores of the massive lake. As they stop off one more time for supplies in one of said villages, they notice that everyone is wearing at least one piece of silver jewelry -- a local custom believed to ward off bad spirits.
The riverfolk steering the boat take them to a northern tributary off the lake, going into the mountains. Terraced farms rising up the slopes produce fruits, vegetables, spices, hemp and hashish. Eventually they come to a village at the base of the mountains, and the highest peak, the Pinnacle of Mercy, stands above them. And even from here, they can see where sunlight shines upon the glittering fortress palace of the Golden Lord. The Khang brothers stay back at the village to wait for them.
Jian explains that she knows a way up, but it'll take them a full day to climb up there. Of course, we've got a Circle of Lunar Exalted and she's an experienced climber willing to show them a good route so it's not any great challenge to get up there, but it is a long trek. A night passes on a ledge, where Jian knows a cave that gets them out of the wind. The cave is the opening of a tapped-out gem mine like many others that dot the High Lands, bringing wealth to the people living there. The sun warms them the next day as they climb the rest of the way, and Jian points out a smaller peak that local legends say is a dragon turned to stone.
Before too much longer, they reach the Golden Lord's palace. It's peaceful here, supernaturally so -- they can sense that violence is impossible on these grounds. Spirit servants flit about the complex, taking care of this and that, and a pair of celestial lions guard the entrance. But the doors are open, and within they see the court of the Golden Lord. He's a Tengese man, middle-aged but fit, dressed in golden robes. He bears a formidable golden scepter called the Mother of Princes, pale imitations of which are carried by the mortal princes of An-Teng.
The Golden Lord sits on a throne as he oversees court, with petitioners both human and otherwise in the room as he settles a dispute between an Immaculate Monk and a priest. Shango recognizes the style of the priest's robes as belonging to Xunshong, a local deity back in Zhaojūn. The problem is that when the Immaculates moved in and took over the local worship, as they do[10], they had an arrangement to uphold certain festivals to Xunshong.[11] One of those festivals involves a group of pilgrims traveling across an inlet to the peninsula known as 'The Spine,' where they perform ceremonial rituals to Xunshong. The arrangement with the Immaculates is that they'd transport the pilgrims, keep them safe, etc. in accordance with the ritual.
But in recent years, between the Great Houses tightening their belts, the monks stretched thinner, and new and bigger threats turning up, they've been skipping the pilgrimage ferry and just sending a few monks over there to perform the ceremony themselves. Xunshong isn't happy, so the god is taking her case to the highest authority she can find. And to be fair, higher authorities than the Golden Lord are few and far between and mostly beyond the reach of Terrestrial gods. But even gods powerful enough to outrank the Golden Lord, including the Unconquered Sun himself, will seek his counsel and take it seriously.
So this guy's a big deal, in other words, and the characters see that he certainly notices their presence moments before they get to watch him find in favor of Xunshong's priest. The Immaculate begins to protest, and is quickly cut off by a look from the deific judge. The Immaculate Order and Xunshong's priesthood have a contract, the Golden Lord argues, and if they wish to renegotiate it then he would be willing to assign one of his priests to be a neutral third party in resolving it. The unhappy monk and the grateful (but not obnoxiously so) priest both bow and thank him for his judgement while a spirit servant leads them to the side to make arrangements.
At this point, the Golden Lord declares a recess of court as he stands up from his throne and approaches Jian and the Circle. He gestures for them to come over to one of the palace's many prayer alcoves, designed so the sound doesn't carry into the rest of the building, so he can speak freely. And he begins by informing them that the Chosen of Luna are always welcome in this place. Just getting that right out there. He then asks Jian if they took good care of her, and she says they did.
Xương produces the puzzle box and explains how it wound up in their possession, and the Golden Lord is extremely concerned about the mention of the necromancer pirate. They explain that the necromancer's second-in-command, Tuyền, is in Realm custody, and he says he may have someone look into that. He takes the box from them and with a thought produces a curtain that blocks the view of the rest of the temple as he opens the box with the slightest flex of Essence, the equivalent of lifting something heavy with your pinkie. He just looks at it in sincere wonder: a tiny sliver of the Unconquered Sun's power in a form that he can use to Exalt someone.
The Golden Lord talks about how important it is that he find the right candidate, that he's carefully vetting a handful of mortals. Despite his power, for the sake of the people of An-Teng he is reluctant to act openly in defiance of the Immaculate Order and bring reprisal and chaos upon them. But the Solars are back, and in time will seek him out. A new day dawns, and change approaches. Using the Exigence will diminish him, but he's realized that he would rather weaken himself to send an agent into Creation to act on his behalf than shine brightly too far away to help.
Xương and the others agree, and Xương respectfully requests that he and the others be summoned back when the time comes so they can see the ceremony when it happens. The Golden Lord, smiling brightly, agrees. Hǎifēng uses the Glance Oration Technique Charm to discreetly indicate to the Golden Lord through their body language that Jian should be the one to receive the power, and the god subtly nods in acknowledgement. He then closes the box and sends Jian to go freshen up in one of the temple's sitting rooms, and she's been here enough times he actually says 'the usual room' and she knows just what he means.
Once she's gone he turns to the others and tells them that Jian is at the top of a very short list of candidates. He also explains that while he does not wish to seem cruel by discussing these things in front of her as if it's less certain than it is, he is testing her by watching her reaction.[12] The group's reaction seems to be, roughly, 'hey, do what you gotta do.'
He goes on to tell them how he first met Jian, when a new landlord of the farm where her family works angered the Pale Mistress and her wrath was harming everyone there, including the innocent workers. This was a few years ago, when she was just a teenager, but she still made her the way up the mountain alone to petition him for aid. He sent her back down with one of his priests to prepare wards to protect the workers and leave the farm's owner to his fate. But she's been an eager follower ever since, ready to do her part for An-Teng by helping him. She cares for An-Teng, and her family, and Creation, and she has a lot of potential.
The Golden Lord then explains that the holdup regarding the Exigence (I think he might've explained some of this earlier in the conversation but my notes aren't that precise) is that the Pale Mistress is also receiving one. While he and the Mistress agree on very little, they both agree to the necessity of direct operatives in Creation. So they have an arrangement where they're pooling their resources to acquire the Exigences, and only once they both have them in their possession will they use them. He does point out it's not an accident he's made sure he got his box first, to cut down on the odds that she'll get impatient and do something foolish. But once she has hers, and they've at least taken a look at each others' candidates (not a formal part of the arrangement, but they've talked about it), they'll Exalt them together.
And with that, he sends them to meet with Jian, and as soon as the curtain vanishes a spirit servant is there to take them to her. She's in a luxurious sitting room where there are bowls of fresh fruit (and probably some other snacks) as well as water and tea and fruit juices. Jian already looks like she's recovered from the journey up, and says that as soon as they're ready she can take them back down. They argue that as Lunars they're already recovered enough to leave as soon as she is, but she actually does wait a few minutes to let them get something to eat and drink first.
While waiting, Jian also tells them that everything that she's encountered -- the Golden Lord, the Lunars, all that -- gives her hope for Creation. Xương laments that Creation has to rely on hope, but she argues that hope is the real power in the puzzle box. Whomever gets the blessing of the Exigence could change Creation even if just a little bit, and she trusts that the Golden Lord will make the right choice. Because after all, how could he not? And the trio agrees, because while that thought could just reflect the intensity of her faith, they're also aware that it would also be against the god's nature to make the choice foolishly.
Once they've spent about ten minutes resting in the room, she says she's ready to go and leads them back down the mountain. The Khangs are waiting for them at the bottom of the mountain to get back on the river, and they head back towards Salt-Founded Glory. The trip back is quicker because they're going downriver now, and while they're in the Middle Lands, a little past Sapphire, she parts ways with them to return to silk farm where her family works. The Khangs take them back to Salt-Founded Glory, and that's where we roll credits on the 'episode' and the session.
[0]-- I'm hilarious and you know it.
[1]-- Incidentally, sunset is weird in Exalted when you think about it. Part of this is because Creation is flat. So there really isn't the traditional horizon in the way we think of it. Like, there sort of is, but there isn't because there's no curvature of the Earth. Also, Creation isn't floating in space. When the sun sets, it's actually setting. It literally moves across the sky, not the other way around.
[2]-- Which, technically, is half-true.
[3]-- This scene, plus one later on, wound up being a little bit of a social system primer because we hadn't really touched on it yet. In terms of game mechanics, Hǎifēng made an Instill roll (boosted by the Seductive Moonlit Dream Charm) to give one of the guards a Minor Tie of Lust directed at them. Then they made a Persuade roll (boosted by, I wanna say, the Charisma Excellency), using that Minor Tie as the social 'leverage' to convince the guard to let them and the others in.
[4]-- It wasn't intentional when I started creating this character, but when I conjure up a mental image of her my brain goes straight to Zhu Li from Legend of Korra.
[5]-- In other words, yes. Hǎifēng is actually propositioning the guy and offering him sex for money.
[6]-- He makes a Read Intentions roll, in other words, boosted by his Perception Excellency.
[7]-- As I believe I've mentioned before, Copper Orchid goes to some effort to keep Hǎifēng happy, because he knows the time's going to come when he's going to need a Lunar Exalt-sized favor.
[8]-- I wrote a version of this bit ahead of time to read to the players as they 'traveled by map,' so to speak. I've tweaked it a bit to better fit the tense of the blog post.
[9]-- The Pale Mistress is An-Teng's other patron deity. A powerful Terrestrial God (as opposed to the Golden Lord, who's a Celestial God living in Creation), she's a goddess of woe and misery, kind of an avatar of many of the darkest aspects of Luna and their Chosen in the same way that the Golden Lord epitomizes the best aspects of the Unconquered Sun and his Chosen. People mostly pray to her to appease her and keep her away (or, rarely, to bring ruin on someone else though doing so always works out badly for everyone).
[10]-- The Immaculate Order has strict rules about how gods and mortals may interact. As a result, while in Realm-controlled areas the locals are allowed to keep their local deities, they're not officially allowed to worship them directly and the monks do that on the mortals' behalf, managing festivals and such. The gods that play along with this scheme get extra days of worship in the local Immaculate calendar. Those that don't have to worry themselves with magical god-killing superweapons (the Terrestrial Exalted) with elemental martial arts specifically designed to smite gods and spirits (the Elemental Dragon styles). Now we see the violence inherent in the system!
[11]-- BTW, Xunshong is an original creation of mine, as there's not a lot of detail about Zhaojūn's gods in text.
[12]-- To be fair, it's possible to create an Exigent with raw power on par with a Celestial Exalt, and there's no way to take it back.
