Thousand Cities:Hearthstones

2008-01-13T02:05:26Z

Morsla: /* Level 1 */ Added Surefoot Gem

''This page contains details on hearthstones that have appeared in the game. Where hearthstones from published material have been used, references to the book and page are given. (E: Exalted; OC: Oadenol's Codex)''

==Level 1==

;Air
:'''Jewel of the Flying Heart''' (OC:85)
:This blood-red stone increases the bearer's Dodge DV by 1, and adds +1 dice to all melee attacks made with a weapon it is set into.

:'''Surefoot Gem'''
:These stones are produced by the five Windbridges of Karowyn. Each stone gives the bearer +1 success on any roll required to maintain balance.

:'''Windspeaker'''
:This hearthstone resembles a smooth orb of of cloudy quartz. It allows the bearer to gain +3 dice on Social rolls when dealing with spirits of the Air.

;Earth
:'''Immortal Grace''' (modified from OC:88)
:This stone gives the bearer an aura of unearthly dignity and grace. Any attempts to make the bearer look foolish to suffer +2 difficulty.

;Fire
:'''Memorial Iron''' (OC:92)
:This smooth nugget of polished iron can allow the bearer to vividly recall any strongly positive memory, allowing them to regain a point of Willpower once per day.

;Water
:'''Seawalker's Stone''' (modified from OC:95)
:The bearer of this shimmering blue stone can walk on salt water as though it were solid land, doubling their base movement rate when doing so.

:'''Silver-tongued Merchant''' (modified from OC:95)
:This silvery-white disc gives its bearer +3 dice to all rolls involving trade negotiations.

;Wood
:'''Stone of Healing''' (E:384)
:This earth-brown stone enhances the bearer's medical talents, adding +3 dice to all Medicine rolls made by that character. Examples of this stone are held by ''Cytheria'' and ''Icarus''.

;Celestial
:'''Gem of Holiness" (OC:104)
:This silver-blue hemisphere imbues its bearer with an aura of holiness. Unless the bearer contradicts this appearance, they gain +1 die on all Manipulation or Charisma rolls to gain the trust of others.

:'''Oathstone''' (OC:106)
:By giving this stone to another, it enforces an oath exactly as if the Eclipse anima power (Essence 1) had been used. Neither party is required to spend essence for this effect. After giving the stone away, the bearer may still use it to regain essence normally.

==Level 2==

;Air
:'''Crystal of the Frozen North''' (OC:86)
:Currently held by ''Skadi'', this translucent white crystal protects her from all forms of natural cold. Skadi may also use the stone to create magical cold by touch, spending essence to cool red-hot metal or freeze water.

;Earth
:'''Stone of the Earthweb''' (OC:90)
:An Exalt bearing this stone can sense everything touching the ground within 10 yards, instinctively knowing the size, approximate weight and movements of all such objects.

;Fire
:'''Jewel of the Forge'''
:This vivid orange-red garnet draws heat and flame into itself, giving the bearer Hardness 8 against damage from natural heat sources. The stone is currently held by ''Ariadne'', who uses it to forge metal without needing protective equipment.

;Water
:'''Gem of Youth''' (OC:96)
:This smooth black lens contains a fossil shell at its centre. Anyone bearing the stone ceases to visibly age, although the stone does not increase their natural lifespan.

;Wood
:'''Opal of the Hunted''' (OC:99)
:This polished green-and-violet opal givs its bearer +2 dice to Wits or Perception rolls to detect an ambush; +1DV against unexpected attacks, and +3 dice to all rolls to evade tracking or pursuit.

:'''Stone of Mending Flaws''' (OC:99)
:This heathstone mends small tears, cracks, flaws or blemishes in non-living material with a touch.

;Celestial
:'''Jewel of the Graceful Courtier''' (OC:103)
:This opalescent oval jewel allows its bearer to blend effortlessly into any social situation; adding one bonus success to all Socialise rolls.

:'''Sphere of Courtesan's Constellation''' (OC:106)
:This gold-flecked, orange globe raises its user's Appearance to 3, and adds 2 dice to all Performance and Presence rolls.

==Level 3==

;Air
:'''Windhands Gemstone''' (E:382)
:This perfectly clear crystal enhances the bearer's reflexes, allowing them to apply their unmodified Dodge or Parry DV against ranged attacks. This does not refresh the user's DV; it merely allows the user to ignore penalties to their DV against ranged attacks.

;Earth
:'''Branch of the White Jade Tree''' (OC:90)
:This polished shard of petrified wood harden's the bearer's skin. All post-soak damage is halved, rounding fractions up. While benefiting from this stone, the bearer moves at half rate.

;Fire
:'''Cypher's Gift'''
:This jagged red shard allows its bearer to foment discord in those around her. The stone affects two people, who are immediately compelled to argue with each other whenever an opportunity arises. Targets can ignore this compulsion by spending a point of Willpower or making a successful Temperance roll, for each potential argument. The effect ends if the target has spent 3 Willpower, or if 12 hours have elapsed. The stone can be used once per day.

:'''Perfected Artifice Gem'''
:The bearer of this drop of molten bronze gains unnatural insight into artifice, gaining +4 to Craft (Fire) rolls and +2 to Craft (Earth) rolls.

;Water
:'''Herneia's Grace''' (modified from OC:97)
:This sphere of inky water gives its bearer a special affinity with water elementals. Rituals and spells to summon such entities take half the usual time. Each mote of essence spent to reduce a spirit's Willpower + Essence dicepool count as two motes.

;Wood
:'''Hunter's Stone''' (modified from OC:100)
:If set into a powerbow, this amber lens adds +3 dice to the weapon's Accuracy and Damage.

;Celestial
:'''Death-Speech Stone''' (E: 384)
:This cobalt-blue stone allows its bearer to initiate a conversation with any corpse, as long as some amount of flesh remains on the bones. The stone is currently held by ''Ur'', bound to a manse in his ancestral home of Rakandra.

==Level 4==

;Air
:'''Stone of Airwalking''' (OC:88)
:The bearer of this stone can walk upon the air as if it were solid ground. If they are tripped or knocked down, they will fall as normal unless they can regain their footing (Dex+Athletics, diff 3).

;Earth
:'''Gem of Adamant Skin''' (E:382)
:This glittering black ovoid renders its bearer's bones unbreakable. All lethal damage suffered by the bearer is immediately converted to bashing damage before applying soak. Excess bashing damage (while incapacitated) still converts to lethal damage as normal.

;Fire
:'''Candent Carbuncle''' (OC:94)
:This hearthstone resembles a burning coal, and is always warm to touch. Its bearer can reflexively ignite their weapon, adding +4L damage and potentially igniting flammable targets. The bearer also gains +5 soak against all damage caused by fire.

;Water
:'''Gem of Masks''' (OC:98)
:This rainbow-coloured crystal allows its bearer to change their appearance, altering their face and skin colour. The gem cannot alter or hide caste marks, but it adds +4 dice to Larceny rolls involving disguise.

;Wood
:'''Song of Life Stone''' (OC:100)
:At will, this mottled brown and white sphere causes plants to grow with unnatural vigour anywhere within the sound of the bearer's voice. Trees bear fruit out of season, vines undergo a year's growth in a single scene, and wilted or dying plants return to full health.

;Celestial
:'''Seven Leaping Dragons Stone''' (modified from E:384)
:This translucent orange sphere gives its bearer a greater understanding of the body's essence flows, adding +4 dice (or the user's Permanent Essence, if that is greater) to their Martial Arts attacks.

==Level 5==

Thousand Cities:Manses

2008-01-13T02:04:51Z

Morsla: /* Air */ Added the Windbridges of Karowyn

''This page contains details on manses that have appeared in the game. More details will be added during play, as the setting becomes more detailed...''

==Air==

===Windbridges of Karowyn===
:''Level 1 Air Manses, five in total''

:The Windbridges are Karowyn's most valuable defence, spanning the ravines that split the island. Each bridge is made from silk rope, spun with Air essence. On command, the bridges can expand wide enough to safely carry a horse and cart, or contract to the thickness of a single hair. A few trusted elders are given wind chimes capable of controlling the bridges, but the primary controller lies in the centre of Karowyn's capital. Gongs and bells in the great temple can be heard across the island, and can be used to override any of the portable chimes.

:The Windbridges of Karowyn each produce a ''Surefoot Gem''. The manses have the following properties: Habitability Flaw (-1); Password Activation (1); Magic Convenience (1), Network Node (1). Based on the "Nine Filigreed Bridges of Felubic," OC:79.

===Circle of the Elders===
:''Level 2 Air Manse''

:The Circle of the Elders is found to the distant North, in the homelands of the Winter Paw tribe. From without, the manse appears to be a simple circle of menhirs, each carved with images of hunting animals. Stepping into the circe takes those who enter to a hidden valley, impossibly concealed between the stones. Here, the wind speaks to the valley's occupants - bringing warnings of intruders. A well equipped group could camp here for several months, foraging for food within the valley.

:The Circle of the Elders produces a ''Crystal of the Frozen North'' hearthstone. It has the following properties: Habitability flaw (-2); Mela's Sweet Whisper (1); Outside Worlds Within (5).

==Fire==

===Diaan's Hearth===
:''Level 3 Fire Manse''

:Named for its creator, Diaan's Hearth is a metal-working workshop concealed in the southern mountain range, several hundred miles east of Rakandra. The workshop is surrounded by rocky terrain, and bordered to the south by the Sea of Fire. Natural hazards and defensive construction combine to make a structure rivalling many fortresses in resilience. The manse caps a level 4 demense, and uses Essence Vents to bleed off excess essence in a fiery corona.

:Diaan's Workshop produces a ''Perfected Artifice Gem''. It has the following properties: Habitability flaw (-1), Fortress (3), Workshop (3), Essence Vents (1).

Thousand Cities:Centre

2008-01-02T12:37:35Z

Morsla: Added Karowyn

==The Central Islands==

:The Central Islands are home to most of the Thousand Cities. Sheltered by their proximity to the elemental pole of Earth, the island chains of the Near South house the greatest human civilisations of the current age.

===Elemental Pole of Earth===

===Allessandra===
:On the island of Eildrathe lies Allessandra, birthplace of the Gods [[Thousand_Cities:Phoebe|Phoebe]] and [[Thousand_Cities:Paragon|Paragon]]. The city is considered the most ordered of the Thousand Cities, and the most modern. It is alo the most ancient – the first of the modern civilisations.

:The city has a vast arena, rebuilt into amphitheatre for the first of the great Contests. Here, [[Thousand_Cities:Parthos|Parthos]] the Swift defeated the God [[Thousand_Cities:Nerat|Nerat]] the Relentless, and ascended to the heavens.

:Allessandra is also known as a centre of learning, with a great university that is home to many of Creation’s finest philosophers and alchemists. The direct intervention of the twin goddesses protects the city from most military threats, allowing the city to flourish in relative peace. The Council Hall often hosts negotiations between warring states, mediating the disputes of their neighbours.

:If the Central Islands recognised a capital, it would be Allessandra. Its gleaming white marble buildings and monuments honour the many gods and heroes who have helped raise the city to its present glory.

===Carakas===

===Ildur and Ildrin===
:The twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin share the island of Nerethain, in the central Southeast. Separated by a steep mountain range, both cultures are entwined closely throughout their long history. Their relationship is defined by their intense competition in all aspects of life. Outsiders often have difficulty distinguishing between the two groups when outside their cities, as they appear to dress and speak in a similar fashion. While the cities share a common root language, attempts to speak the local dialects are fraught with danger, as slight differences in meaning can twist a casual comment into a killing insult.

:Unsurprisingly, the God [[Thousand_Cities:Cypher|Cypher]] has played a role in the development of the twin cities. Both cultures are warlike and volatile, quick to avenge a perceived insult. The two royal families are deeply intermarried, as tradition dictates that a victorious army should seize a royal son or daughter from the defeated city for a forced marriage with the victor. Despite their intermingled blood, the inhabitants of both cities would sooner die than give their rivals any advantage.

:Constant conflict has driven great advances in engineering, especially in the field of warfare. The Sea Wall of Ildur is considered one of the Great Wonders of Creation. Completed in 1252AF, it has rendered the city's central port almost impervious to naval assault.

:For more information, see [[Thousand_Cities:Kingdoms#Ildur_and_Ildrin|Twin Cities (Kingdoms)]].

===Karowyn===
:The island kingdom of Karowyn lies on a fractured landmass, shattered in a battle between Exalted warriors in the distant past. A single shipping lane has been dredged clear of debris, and is serviced by a small pier. The island's coastline is dominated by sheer cliffs, and a winding path leads upwards from the port.

:The interior contains steep-sided ravines, each spanned by a bridge of essense-spun steel cable. These paths lead to the main city in the island's heart. The capital of Karowyn lies in the bottom of a hemispherical crater - the result of a powerful protective charm used to parry the stroke that shattered the island. A spiral path leads down to the city.

:The city centre contains a temple, raised to the resonant point of the hemispherical valley. From here, chimes, gongs and bells can be heard across the island, and each window of the main tower can hear movement along one of the bridges. The temple can also control the width of the bridges by sounding that bridge's note - this can widen a bridge to let wagons cross, or narrow it to a hair's breadth.

:The island was briefly taken by Regolean troops in 1282AF, and freed by returning Exalts from the Guild, with the aid of Skadi and Ariadne.

===Meredius===
:An island city-state renowned for its craftsmanship and alchemical skill. Meredius occupies a sand island in the centre of the Southern Sea. They maintain strong connections with the Guild, exchanging luxury goods such as medicines, oils and liquers for foodstuffs and armed guards. Meredius is an ally of Ildrin.

:The city is divided into several districts, each separated by broad canals and immense walls of water. Bound elementals maintain the walls, preventing the spread of fire through the densely-packed timber buildings. Industrial areas produce alchemical reagents, refining ingredients brought from around Creation. Residential districts are comprised of tall, narrow apartment blocks, often built up to the edge of the canals. Rooftops are used as gardens, allowing the city to produce crops to supplement food brought by Guild fleets.

===Regolus===
:Two hundred years ago, Regolus was an undistinguished nation-state in the Central Sea, on the island of Caraille. Today it is the heart of a new empire, founded by Sartrin, Chosen of [[Thousand_Cities:Klesthes|Klesthes]]. Sartrin assumed the title of Emperor, and began a campaign of conquest that has expanded the Regolean borders to encompass seventeen islands to the South and East of the capital.

:The armies of Regolus are widely feared by neighbouring cities. No other kingdom is capable of marshalling as many Tiger Warriors, nor can any opposition match the perfect coordination of the Regolean troops. In 1260AF, Emperor Sartrin announced a new expansionist campaign, commanding the generals of his three armies to expand the borders of his realm. During the past decade, five more nations have fallen to the Legionaires and Lancers of Regolus.

:For more information, see [[Thousand_Cities:Kingdoms#Regolus|Regolean Empire (Kingdoms)]].

==Level 1==

;Air
:'''Windspeaker'''

:'''Jewel of the Flying Heart''' (OC:85)
:This blood-red stone increases the bearer's Dodge DV by 1, and adds +1 dice to all melee attacks made with a weapon it is set into.

;Earth
:'''Immortal Grace''' (modified from OC:88)
:This stone gives the bearer an aura of unearthly dignity and grace. Any attempts to make the bearer look foolish to suffer +2 difficulty.

;Fire
:'''Memorial Iron''' (OC:92)
:This smooth nugget of polished iron can allow the bearer to vividly recall any strongly positive memory, allowing them to regain a point of Willpower once per day.

;Water
:'''Seawalker's Stone''' (modified from OC:95)
:The bearer of this shimmering blue stone can walk on salt water as though it were solid land, doubling their base movement rate when doing so.

:'''Silver-tongued Merchant''' (modified from OC:95)
:This silvery-white disc gives its bearer +3 dice to all rolls involving trade negotiations.

;Wood
:'''Stone of Healing''' (E:384)
:This earth-brown stone enhances the bearer's medical talents, adding +3 dice to all Medicine rolls made by that character. Examples of this stone are held by ''Cytheria'' and ''Icarus''.

;Celestial
:'''Gem of Holiness" (OC:104)
:This silver-blue hemisphere imbues its bearer with an aura of holiness. Unless the bearer contradicts this appearance, they gain +1 die on all Manipulation or Charisma rolls to gain the trust of others.

:'''Oathstone''' (OC:106)
:By giving this stone to another, it enforces an oath exactly as if the Eclipse anima power (Essence 1) had been used. Neither party is required to spend essence for this effect. After giving the stone away, the bearer may still use it to regain essence normally.

==Level 2==

;Air
:'''Crystal of the Frozen North''' (OC:86)
:Currently held by ''Skadi'', this translucent white crystal protects her from all forms of natural cold. Skadi may also use the stone to create magical cold by touch, spending essence to cool red-hot metal or freeze water.

;Earth
:'''Stone of the Earthweb''' (OC:90)
:An Exalt bearing this stone can sense everything touching the ground within 10 yards, instinctively knowing the size, approximate weight and movements of all such objects.

;Fire
:'''Jewel of the Forge'''
:This vivid orange-red garnet draws heat and flame into itself, giving the bearer Hardness 8 against damage from natural heat sources. The stone is currently held by ''Ariadne'', who uses it to forge metal without needing protective equipment.

;Water
:'''Gem of Youth''' (OC:96)
:This smooth black lens contains a fossil shell at its centre. Anyone bearing the stone ceases to visibly age, although the stone does not increase their natural lifespan.

;Wood
:'''Opal of the Hunted''' (OC:99)
:This polished green-and-violet opal givs its bearer +2 dice to Wits or Perception rolls to detect an ambush; +1DV against unexpected attacks, and +3 dice to all rolls to evade tracking or pursuit.

:'''Stone of Mending Flaws''' (OC:99)
:This heathstone mends small tears, cracks, flaws or blemishes in non-living material with a touch.

;Celestial
:'''Jewel of the Graceful Courtier''' (OC:103)

==Level 3==

;Air
:'''Windhands Gemstone''' (E:382)
:This perfectly clear crystal enhances the bearer's reflexes, allowing them to apply their unmodified Dodge or Parry DV against ranged attacks. This does not refresh the user's DV; it merely allows the user to ignore penalties to their DV against ranged attacks.

;Earth
:'''Branch of the White Jade Tree''' (OC:90)
:This polished shard of petrified wood harden's the bearer's skin. All post-soak damage is halved, rounding fractions up. While benefiting from this stone, the bearer moves at half rate.

;Fire
:'''Cypher's Gift'''
:This jagged red shard allows its bearer to foment discord in those around her. The stone affects two people, who are immediately compelled to argue with each other whenever an opportunity arises. Targets can ignore this compulsion by spending a point of Willpower or making a successful Temperance roll, for each potential argument. The effect ends if the target has spent 3 Willpower, or if 12 hours have elapsed. The stone can be used once per day.

:'''Perfected Artifice Gem'''
:The bearer of this drop of molten bronze gains unnatural insight into artifice, gaining +4 to Craft (Fire) rolls and +2 to Craft (Earth) rolls.

;Water
:'''Herneia's Grace''' (modified from OC:97)
:This sphere of inky water gives its bearer a special affinity with water elementals. Rituals and spells to summon such entities take half the usual time. Each mote of essence spent to reduce a spirit's Willpower + Essence dicepool count as two motes.

;Wood
:'''Hunter's Stone''' (modified from OC:100)
:If set into a powerbow, this amber lens adds +3 dice to the weapon's Accuracy and Damage.

;Celestial
:'''Death-Speech Stone''' (E: 384)
:This cobalt-blue stone allows its bearer to initiate a conversation with any corpse, as long as some amount of flesh remains on the bones. The stone is currently held by ''Ur'', bound to a manse in his ancestral home of Rakandra.

==Level 4==

;Air
:'''Stone of Airwalking''' (OC:88)
:The bearer of this stone can walk upon the air as if it were solid ground. If they are tripped or knocked down, they will fall as normal unless they can regain their footing (Dex+Athletics, diff 3).

;Earth
:'''Gem of Adamant Skin''' (E:382)
:This glittering black ovoid renders its bearer's bones unbreakable. All lethal damage suffered by the bearer is immediately converted to bashing damage before applying soak. Excess bashing damage (while incapacitated) still converts to lethal damage as normal.

;Fire
:'''Candent Carbuncle''' (OC:94)
:This hearthstone resembles a burning coal, and is always warm to touch. Its bearer can reflexively ignite their weapon, adding +4L damage and potentially igniting flammable targets. The bearer also gains +5 soak against all damage caused by fire.

;Water
:'''Gem of Masks''' (OC:98)
:This rainbow-coloured crystal allows its bearer to change their appearance, altering their face and skin colour. The gem cannot alter or hide caste marks, but it adds +4 dice to Larceny rolls involving disguise.

;Wood
:'''Song of Life Stone''' (OC:100)
:At will, this mottled brown and white sphere causes plants to grow with unnatural vigour anywhere within the sound of the bearer's voice. Trees bear fruit out of season, vines undergo a year's growth in a single scene, and wilted or dying plants return to full health.

;Celestial
:'''Seven Leaping Dragons Stone''' (modified from E:384)
:This translucent orange sphere gives its bearer a greater understanding of the body's essence flows, adding +4 dice (or the user's Permanent Essence, if that is greater) to their Martial Arts attacks.

==Level 1==

;Air
:'''Windspeaker'''
:This hearthstone resembles a smooth orb of of cloudy quartz. It allows the bearer to gain +3 dice on Social rolls when dealing with spirits of the Air.

:'''Jewel of the Flying Heart''' (OC:85)
:This blood-red stone increases the bearer's Dodge DV by 1, and adds +1 dice to all melee attacks made with a weapon it is set into.

;Earth
:'''Immortal Grace''' (modified from OC:88)
:This stone gives the bearer an aura of unearthly dignity and grace. Any attempts to make the bearer look foolish to suffer +2 difficulty.

;Fire
:'''Memorial Iron''' (OC:92)
:This smooth nugget of polished iron can allow the bearer to vividly recall any strongly positive memory, allowing them to regain a point of Willpower once per day.

;Water
:'''Seawalker's Stone''' (modified from OC:95)
:The bearer of this shimmering blue stone can walk on salt water as though it were solid land, doubling their base movement rate when doing so.

:'''Silver-tongued Merchant''' (modified from OC:95)
:This silvery-white disc gives its bearer +3 dice to all rolls involving trade negotiations.

;Wood
:'''Stone of Healing''' (E:384)
:This earth-brown stone enhances the bearer's medical talents, adding +3 dice to all Medicine rolls made by that character. Examples of this stone are held by ''Cytheria'' and ''Icarus''.

;Celestial
:'''Gem of Holiness" (OC:104)
:This silver-blue hemisphere imbues its bearer with an aura of holiness. Unless the bearer contradicts this appearance, they gain +1 die on all Manipulation or Charisma rolls to gain the trust of others.

:'''Oathstone''' (OC:106)
:By giving this stone to another, it enforces an oath exactly as if the Eclipse anima power (Essence 1) had been used. Neither party is required to spend essence for this effect. After giving the stone away, the bearer may still use it to regain essence normally.

==Level 2==

;Air
:'''Crystal of the Frozen North''' (OC:86)
:Currently held by ''Skadi'', this translucent white crystal protects her from all forms of natural cold. Skadi may also use the stone to create magical cold by touch, spending essence to cool red-hot metal or freeze water.

;Earth
:'''Stone of the Earthweb''' (OC:90)
:An Exalt bearing this stone can sense everything touching the ground within 10 yards, instinctively knowing the size, approximate weight and movements of all such objects.

;Fire
:'''Jewel of the Forge'''
:This vivid orange-red garnet draws heat and flame into itself, giving the bearer Hardness 8 against damage from natural heat sources. The stone is currently held by ''Ariadne'', who uses it to forge metal without needing protective equipment.

;Water
:'''Gem of Youth''' (OC:96)
:This smooth black lens contains a fossil shell at its centre. Anyone bearing the stone ceases to visibly age, although the stone does not increase their natural lifespan.

;Wood
:'''Opal of the Hunted''' (OC:99)
:This polished green-and-violet opal givs its bearer +2 dice to Wits or Perception rolls to detect an ambush; +1DV against unexpected attacks, and +3 dice to all rolls to evade tracking or pursuit.

:'''Stone of Mending Flaws''' (OC:99)
:This heathstone mends small tears, cracks, flaws or blemishes in non-living material with a touch.

;Celestial
:'''Jewel of the Graceful Courtier''' (OC:103)
This opalescent oval jewel allows its bearer to blend effortlessly into any social situation; adding one bonus success to all Socialise rolls.

:'''Sphere of Courtesan's Constellation''' (OC:106)
:This gold-flecked, orange globe raises its user's Appearance to 3, and adds 2 dice to all Performance and Presence rolls.

==Level 3==

;Air
:'''Windhands Gemstone''' (E:382)
:This perfectly clear crystal enhances the bearer's reflexes, allowing them to apply their unmodified Dodge or Parry DV against ranged attacks. This does not refresh the user's DV; it merely allows the user to ignore penalties to their DV against ranged attacks.

;Earth
:'''Branch of the White Jade Tree''' (OC:90)
:This polished shard of petrified wood harden's the bearer's skin. All post-soak damage is halved, rounding fractions up. While benefiting from this stone, the bearer moves at half rate.

;Fire
:'''Cypher's Gift'''
:This jagged red shard allows its bearer to foment discord in those around her, affecting two people. Targets are immediately compelled to argue with each other whenever an opportunity arises. Targets can ignore this compulsion by spending a point of Willpower or making a successful Temperance roll, for each potential argument. The effect ends if the target has spent 3 Willpower, or if 12 hours have elapsed. The stone can be used once per day.

:'''Perfected Artifice Gem'''
:The bearer of this drop of molten bronze gains unnatural insight into artifice, gaining +4 to Craft (Fire) rolls and +2 to Craft (Earth) rolls.

;Water
:'''Herneia's Grace''' (modified from OC:97)
:This sphere of inky water gives its bearer a special affinity with water elementals. Rituals and spells to summon such entities take half the usual time. Each mote of essence spent to reduce a spirit's Willpower + Essence dicepool count as two motes.

;Wood
:'''Hunter's Stone''' (modified from OC:100)
:If set into a powerbow, this amber lens adds +3 dice to the weapon's Accuracy and Damage.

;Celestial
:'''Death-Speech Stone''' (E: 384)
:This cobalt-blue stone allows its bearer to initiate a conversation with any corpse, as long as some amount of flesh remains on the bones. The stone is currently held by ''Ur'', bound to a manse in his ancestral home of Rakandra.

==Level 4==

;Air
:'''Stone of Airwalking''' (OC:88)
:The bearer of this stone can walk upon the air as if it were solid ground. If they are tripped or knocked down, they will fall as normal unless they can regain their footing (Dex+Athletics, diff 3).

;Earth
:'''Gem of Adamant Skin''' (E:382)
:This glittering black ovoid renders its bearer's bones unbreakable. All lethal damage suffered by the bearer is immediately converted to bashing damage before applying soak. Excess bashing damage (while incapacitated) still converts to lethal damage as normal.

;Fire
:'''Candent Carbuncle''' (OC:94)
:This hearthstone resembles a burning coal, and is always warm to touch. Its bearer can reflexively ignite their weapon, adding +4L damage and potentially igniting flammable targets. The bearer also gains +5 soak against all damage caused by fire.

;Water
:'''Gem of Masks''' (OC:98)
:This rainbow-coloured crystal allows its bearer to change their appearance, altering their face and skin colour. The gem cannot alter or hide caste marks, but it adds +4 dice to Larceny rolls involving disguise.

;Wood
:'''Song of Life Stone''' (OC:100)
:At will, this mottled brown and white sphere causes plants to grow with unnatural vigour anywhere within the sound of the bearer's voice. Trees bear fruit out of season, vines undergo a year's growth in a single scene, and wilted or dying plants return to full health.

;Celestial
:'''Seven Leaping Dragons Stone''' (modified from E:384)
:This translucent orange sphere gives its bearer a greater understanding of the body's essence flows, adding +4 dice (or the user's Permanent Essence, if that is greater) to their Martial Arts attacks.

==Level 5==

Thousand Cities:Manses

Morsla: Added link to main page

''This page contains details on manses that have appeared in the game. More details will be added during play, as the setting becomes more detailed...''

==Air==

===Circle of the Elders===
:''Level 2 Air Manse''

:The Circle of the Elders is found to the distant North, in the homelands of the Winter Paw tribe. From without, the manse appears to be a simple circle of menhirs, each carved with images of hunting animals. Stepping into the circe takes those who enter to a hidden valley, impossibly concealed between the stones. Here, the wind speaks to the valley's occupants - bringing warnings of intruders. A well equipped group could camp here for several months, foraging for food within the valley.

:The Circle of the Elders produces a ''Crystal of the Frozen North'' hearthstone. It has the following properties: Habitability flaw (-2); Mela's Sweet Whisper (1); Outside Worlds Within (5).

==Fire==

===Diaan's Hearth===
:''Level 3 Fire Manse''

:Named for its creator, Diaan's Hearth is a metal-working workshop concealed in the southern mountain range, several hundred miles east of Rakandra. The workshop is surrounded by rocky terrain, and bordered to the south by the Sea of Fire. Natural hazards and defensive construction combine to make a structure rivalling many fortresses in resilience. The manse caps a level 4 demense, and uses Essence Vents to bleed off excess essence in a fiery corona.

:Diaan's Workshop produces a ''Perfected Artifice Gem''. It has the following properties: Habitability flaw (-1), Fortress (3), Workshop (3), Essence Vents (1).

Thousand Cities:Kingdoms

2007-12-30T09:11:08Z

Morsla: /* Regolus */

==Kingdoms in the Thousand Cities==
:Most of the Thousand Cities are nation-states; fiercely independent localities that maintain their own laws and governments. Wars of conquest are not uncommon, but the Thousand Cities era is filled with epic heroes and the manipulations of the Gods. With such an array of generals, rulers and warriors, no single city has yet managed to impose its might upon any large area of Creation.

===Ildur and Ildrin===
:The twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin share the island of Nerethain, in the central Southeast. Separated by a steep mountain range, both cultures are entwined closely throughout their long history. Their relationship is defined by their intense competition in all aspects of life. Outsiders often have difficulty distinguishing between the two groups when outside their cities, as they appear to dress and speak in a similar fashion. While the cities share a common root language, attempts to speak the local dialects are fraught with danger, as slight differences in meaning can twist a casual comment into a killing insult.

:Unsurprisingly, the God [[Thousand_Cities:Cypher|Cypher]] has played a role in the development of the twin cities. Both cultures are warlike and volatile, quick to avenge a perceived insult. The two royal families are deeply intermarried, as tradition dictates that a victorious army should seize a royal son or daughter from the defeated city for a forced marriage with the victor. Despite their intermingled blood, the inhabitants of both cities would sooner die than give their rivals any advantage.

:Constant conflict has driven great advances in engineering, especially in the field of warfare. The Sea Wall of Ildur is considered a marvel of Creation, rendering the city's central port almost impregnable by naval assault.

:In 1265AF, Ildur seized the upper hand after acquiring a large number of essence gems from [[Thousand_Cities:North#Cinnador|Cinnador]]. In response to this, the general Ariach Dawn-Treader, born to Ildrin in 977AF, sent his agents to seek out Exalted allies, reasoning that mortal troops would not be sufficient to turn the conflict. Ariach is widely considered the greatest strategist of his era, bearing the favour of [[Thousand_Cities:Roane|Roane]] herself.

:In 1275AF Ildrini troops, aided by a cadre of young Exalts, successfully breached the Ilduran defences. During the conflict two Ilduran heirs were slain, and the youngest was chosen to marry the Ildrini heir. With the Ilduran line crushed, the two cities were joined for the first time since their founding.

:In 1282AF, an assassin entered the Ildrini palace and slaughtered the Anjou family members present. As the alarm was sounded, a vast Regolean army attacked both Ildur and Ildrin. Despite taking vast casualties in Ildur, the Regoleans successfully captured the island. It is currently under their control.

===Regolus===
:[[Thousand_Cities:Centre#Regolus|Regolus]] is the heart of the Regolean Empire, spreading rapidly outwards from the Central island of Caraille. Less than a century after its founding, the Empire is growing faster than any other Kingdom. This is primarily due to the presence and vision of its first Emperor, [[Thousand_Cities:NPCs#Sartrin|Sartrin]].

:Emperor Sartrin is a devout follower of the Gods [[Thousand_Cities:Klesthes|Klesthes]] and [[Thousand_Cities:Yedan|Yedan]], rulers of the Cerulean Host. His impassioned speeches stir the hearts of thousands, and his troops carve a path through all that oppose them. In 1230AF, the Emperor commissioned the largest temple ever built for his capital city of Regolus. Here, priestesses of Klesthes proselytise while priests of Yedan train the warriors of the Empire's armies. With the favour of two powerful Gods, he fears no opposition.

:The armies of Regolus are famed (and feared) for their heavily armoured infantry, supplied by the many [[Thousand_Cities:South#Rakandra|Rakandran]] armourers who live in the capital. Regolean divisions fight with regimented precision, executing intricate tactical maneuvers that have defeated much larger forces. The troops are renowned for their discipline, and are considered the finest infantry of the current age.

:In 1242AF, Sartrin commanded his armies to begin a war of conquest throughout the Central Islands. Regolean troops quickly took the surrounding islands, and began to move outwards to larger kingdoms. By 1268AF the front had reached Carakas, once a major power in the region. Absorbed into the Regolean Empire, Carakas now produces supplies for the Regolean war machine.

:With an established military training program in place, the Regolean Empire was able to capitalise upon the greater rate of Exaltation observed from 1280AF onwards. New Exalts are quickly recognised and sent to Regolus for training, before returning to the active front. The presence of such troops allowed the Third Army to crush both Meredius and the Twin Cities in 1282AF, cementing the Regolean hold on the near-east archipelago.

===Umbra===
:[[Thousand_Cities:East#Umbra|Umbra]] is the newest of the Thousand Cities, founded in 1279AF by the Exalts Icarus, Jocasta and Armelle. The city lies on a tributary of the river Mzima, situated between the druids of Bronach and the forests of the Hunter's Tribes. Most inhabitants of the city hail from the Central islands.

:The first residents of Umbra fled the twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin after their homeland embraced a necromantic tradition, returning honoured dead to unlife, so that they might serve the living. Political differences of opinion with the current (Anjou) ruling family led to a division within the ranks of the Ildrini families, and many travelled East to settle a new land.

:Umbra's residents have developed a rapport with their warring neighbours. Soon after the city's founding, Icarus made contact with the tree-dwelling kingdom of Bronach, forming a pact between the cities. Armelle impressed the savage hunters calling themselves Vergolte's People, defeating many during the first attempted raid on the new settlement.

:In 1282AF, Jocasta Mien was exalted by Vergolte in a temple to his honour. Together with Icarus, she has earned lasting respect from the Hunter's Tribes - although some have spoken of their great shame at seeing city-dwellers earn such attention from their patron God.

==The Central Islands==

:The Central Islands are home to most of the Thousand Cities. Sheltered by their proximity to the elemental pole of Earth, the island chains of the Near South house the greatest human civilisations of the current age.

===Elemental Pole of Earth===

===Allessandra===
:On the island of Eildrathe lies Allessandra, birthplace of the Gods [[Thousand_Cities:Phoebe|Phoebe]] and [[Thousand_Cities:Paragon|Paragon]]. The city is considered the most ordered of the Thousand Cities, and the most modern. It is alo the most ancient – the first of the modern civilisations.

:The city has a vast arena, rebuilt into amphitheatre for the first of the great Contests. Here, [[Thousand_Cities:Parthos|Parthos]] the Swift defeated the God [[Thousand_Cities:Nerat|Nerat]] the Relentless, and ascended to the heavens.

:Allessandra is also known as a centre of learning, with a great university that is home to many of Creation’s finest philosophers and alchemists. The direct intervention of the twin goddesses protects the city from most military threats, allowing the city to flourish in relative peace. The Council Hall often hosts negotiations between warring states, mediating the disputes of their neighbours.

:If the Central Islands recognised a capital, it would be Allessandra. Its gleaming white marble buildings and monuments honour the many gods and heroes who have helped raise the city to its present glory.

===Carakas===

===Ildur and Ildrin===
:The twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin share the island of Nerethain, in the central Southeast. Separated by a steep mountain range, both cultures are entwined closely throughout their long history. Their relationship is defined by their intense competition in all aspects of life. Outsiders often have difficulty distinguishing between the two groups when outside their cities, as they appear to dress and speak in a similar fashion. While the cities share a common root language, attempts to speak the local dialects are fraught with danger, as slight differences in meaning can twist a casual comment into a killing insult.

:Unsurprisingly, the God [[Thousand_Cities:Cypher|Cypher]] has played a role in the development of the twin cities. Both cultures are warlike and volatile, quick to avenge a perceived insult. The two royal families are deeply intermarried, as tradition dictates that a victorious army should seize a royal son or daughter from the defeated city for a forced marriage with the victor. Despite their intermingled blood, the inhabitants of both cities would sooner die than give their rivals any advantage.

:Constant conflict has driven great advances in engineering, especially in the field of warfare. The Sea Wall of Ildur is considered one of the Great Wonders of Creation. Completed in 1252AF, it has rendered the city's central port almost impervious to naval assault.

:For more information, see [[Thousand_Cities:Kingdoms#Ildur_and_Ildrin|Twin Cities (Kingdoms)]].

===Meredius===
:An island city-state renowned for its craftsmanship and alchemical skill. Meredius occupies a sand island in the centre of the Southern Sea. They maintain strong connections with the Guild, exchanging luxury goods such as medicines, oils and liquers for foodstuffs and armed guards. Meredius is an ally of Ildrin.

:The city is divided into several districts, each separated by broad canals and immense walls of water. Bound elementals maintain the walls, preventing the spread of fire through the densely-packed timber buildings. Industrial areas produce alchemical reagents, refining ingredients brought from around Creation. Residential districts are comprised of tall, narrow apartment blocks, often built up to the edge of the canals. Rooftops are used as gardens, allowing the city to produce crops to supplement food brought by Guild fleets.

===Regolus===
:Two hundred years ago, Regolus was an undistinguished nation-state in the Central Sea, on the island of Caraille. Today it is the heart of a new empire, founded by Sartrin, Chosen of [[Thousand_Cities:Klesthes|Klesthes]]. Sartrin assumed the title of Emperor, and began a campaign of conquest that has expanded the Regolean borders to encompass seventeen islands to the South and East of the capital.

:The armies of Regolus are widely feared by neighbouring cities. No other kingdom is capable of marshalling as many Tiger Warriors, nor can any opposition match the perfect coordination of the Regolean troops. In 1260AF, Emperor Sartrin announced a new expansionist campaign, commanding the generals of his three armies to expand the borders of his realm. During the past decade, five more nations have fallen to the Legionaires and Lancers of Regolus.

Thousand Cities:East

2007-12-30T08:12:17Z

Morsla: /* Umbra */

==The East==

:Bordering the elemental pole of Wood, the forests and jungles of the East teem with life. Two major human civilisations are found in the central east, but neither has regular contact with the cities of the Central Islands. The East is also home to the two greatest rivers of Creation. Mzima, the life-spring, originates in the Far East and balances the flow of water out of the West. Aletschis, the crystal-spring, draws on meltwater from the northern glaciers.

===Elemental Pole of Wood===
:Above the headwaters of the river Mzima, the sky is lit with a warm green light. Anything touched by the light begins to mutate, for the light brings life, growth and change. The lands around the Elemental Pole of Wood are filled with creatures and plants too heavily altered to survive outside the far East.

===River Aletschis===
:The crystal-spring is the second mightiest river in Creation, fed by meltwater from the northern glaciers. The river triples in size during the season of Ascending Wood, as the thaw breaks up seasonal ice formations on the lower peaks.

===River Mzima===
:The life-spring flows directly from the Elemental Pole of Wood, and carries life throughout Creation. At its widest point, the opposite shore of the river cannot be seen - it stretches out to the horizon. The followers of the Green Path protect its shores, ensuring that the area remains undeveloped by humans.

===Bronach===
:The Kingdom of Bronach is closed to outsiders, except with the express permission of the city's Heirarch. The capital city fills a large valley, but appears far smaller - each building is hidden in the trees, and no fires burn here. Other towns remain hidden in the forest, relying upon their camouflage to protect them from the Hunter's tribes.

:Bronach is the home of the Green Path, a druidic culture that works to preserve [[Thousand_Cities:Beyeate|Beyeate]]'s land. The people of Bronach work alongside plant constructs and wood elementals, and ally themselves with powerful spirits who guard their walls.

:The Green Path have developed the unique ability to cultivate hearthstones from uncapped Demenses, without requiring the construction of a Manse. Such stones vary in power with the seasons, as Beyeate's power ebbs and flows. They are typically not as potent as Manse-borne stones, but their method of construction allows the people of Bronach to preserve their most potent defense: invisibility amongst the eastern forests.

===Hunter's Tribes===
:The Hunter's Tribes are scattered throughout the East. They hold [[Thousand_Cities:Vergolte|Vergolte]], the Hunter, to be foremost among the gods, and they are guided by shamans to continue the endless pursuit between Vergolte and [[Thousand_Cities:Beyeate|Beyeate]]. The tribes hunt both human and animal, and constantly harry the towns of Bronach.

:Each tribe is aspected to a particular predator animal, with Vergolte's favoured creatures (hunting birds) highly favoured. The tribes occasionally work together to repel threats to their lands, but typically act alone. Hunters in the territory of another tribe must announce their presence and intention at once, or they will be attacked on sight.

:Several of the Hunter's Tribes are led by Exalted heroes, often chosen from among the tribe's warriors. Few tribes contain more than a single exalt, however. The Chosen are natural leaders, and typically break away to form new tribes if they arise beneath an existing exalt.

===Isle of Mists===
:Hidden in the mountains of the Northeast, the Isle of Mists projects from a circular lake formed by a meteoric impact. Densely wooded forests cover the surrounding slopes, and the lake's surface is perpetually cloaked in dense fog. The island is claimed by [[Thousand_Cities:Eicentia|Eicentia]], goddess of sorcery, and serves as a testing site for her spells. Few creatures - god or mortal - risk crossing the lake without invitation, as the sorceress wields powers unseen since the Foundation War.

===Lake Simbul===
:The largest water source in the southeast, Lake Simbul shelters many small islands near its western shore. The lake is home to many varieties of birdlife, and is famed for the flocks of flamingos that gather in its shallows at sunset.

:The northeastern shore is avoided by humans, as the mud flats host a constant battle between two of the East’s most ferocious predators. River dragons and giant crocodiles fight for territory and supremacy at the top of the food chain.

===Port Arek===
:Port Arek is located on the intersection between the two great rivers. It is the largest city of the East, and manages a thriving trade in agricultural and pharmaceutical products from the forests and jungles. The city's inhabitants consider themselves Easterners, although they predominantly descend from Central settlers who colonised the area in 748AF. Port Arek is seen as an exotic destination by those in the Central Islands, but those farther East see it as little more than a glorified colonial outpost.

===Umbra===
:Umbra is a new city, founded in 1279AF by Icarus, Jocasta, Armelle, and other former residents of the Twin Cities. The city lies on a tributary of the river Mzima, between Bronach and the homeland of the Hunter's Tribes. Most inhabitants of the city hail from the Central islands. For more information, see [[Thousand_Cities:Kingdoms#Umbra|Umbra (Kingdom)]].

===Xil===
:Xil lies on the western shore of Lake Simbul, in the far Southeast. Guild convoys rarely travel so far across the savannah, making the city a haven for those with reasons to avoid the traders. The city is largely self-sufficient, hunting megafauna from the grasslands and spined fish from the lake. During the season of Air the city hosts visitors from the [[Thousand_Cities:South#Great_Plains|Great Plains]] tribes, who bring trade goods from their Summer Cities.

[[Thousand_Cities:Main_Page|Back to '''Thousand Cities Main Page''']]

Thousand Cities:Kingdoms

2007-12-30T08:11:22Z

Morsla: Added Umbra, updated the Twin Cities

==Kingdoms in the Thousand Cities==
:Most of the Thousand Cities are nation-states; fiercely independent localities that maintain their own laws and governments. Wars of conquest are not uncommon, but the Thousand Cities era is filled with epic heroes and the manipulations of the Gods. With such an array of generals, rulers and warriors, no single city has yet managed to impose its might upon any large area of Creation.

===Ildur and Ildrin===
:The twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin share the island of Nerethain, in the central Southeast. Separated by a steep mountain range, both cultures are entwined closely throughout their long history. Their relationship is defined by their intense competition in all aspects of life. Outsiders often have difficulty distinguishing between the two groups when outside their cities, as they appear to dress and speak in a similar fashion. While the cities share a common root language, attempts to speak the local dialects are fraught with danger, as slight differences in meaning can twist a casual comment into a killing insult.

:Unsurprisingly, the God [[Thousand_Cities:Cypher|Cypher]] has played a role in the development of the twin cities. Both cultures are warlike and volatile, quick to avenge a perceived insult. The two royal families are deeply intermarried, as tradition dictates that a victorious army should seize a royal son or daughter from the defeated city for a forced marriage with the victor. Despite their intermingled blood, the inhabitants of both cities would sooner die than give their rivals any advantage.

:Constant conflict has driven great advances in engineering, especially in the field of warfare. The Sea Wall of Ildur is considered a marvel of Creation, rendering the city's central port almost impregnable by naval assault.

:In 1265AF, Ildur seized the upper hand after acquiring a large number of essence gems from [[Thousand_Cities:North#Cinnador|Cinnador]]. In response to this, the general Ariach Dawn-Treader, born to Ildrin in 977AF, sent his agents to seek out Exalted allies, reasoning that mortal troops would not be sufficient to turn the conflict. Ariach is widely considered the greatest strategist of his era, bearing the favour of [[Thousand_Cities:Roane|Roane]] herself.

:In 1275AF Ildrini troops, aided by a cadre of young Exalts, successfully breached the Ilduran defences. During the conflict two Ilduran heirs were slain, and the youngest was chosen to marry the Ildrini heir. With the Ilduran line crushed, the two cities were joined for the first time since their founding.

:In 1282AF, an assassin entered the Ildrini palace and slaughtered the Anjou family members present. As the alarm was sounded, a vast Regolean army attacked both Ildur and Ildrin. Despite taking vast casualties in Ildur, the Regoleans successfully captured the island. It is currently under their control.

===Regolus===
:[[Thousand_Cities:Centre#Regolus|Regolus]] is the heart of the Regolean Empire, spreading rapidly outwards from the Central island of Caraille. Less than a century after its founding, the Empire is growing faster than any other Kingdom. This is primarily due to the presence and vision of its first Emperor, [[Thousand_Cities:NPCs#Sartrin|Sartrin]].

:Emperor Sartrin is a devout follower of the Gods [[Thousand_Cities:Klesthes|Klesthes]] and [[Thousand_Cities:Yedan|Yedan]], rulers of the Cerulean Host. His impassioned speeches stir the hearts of thousands, and his troops carve a path through all that oppose them. In 1230AF, the Emperor commissioned the largest temple ever built for his capital city of Regolus. Here, priestesses of Klesthes proselytise while priests of Yedan train the warriors of the Empire's armies. With the favour of two powerful Gods, he fears no opposition.

:The armies of Regolus are famed (and feared) for their heavily armoured infantry, supplied by the many [[Thousand_Cities:South#Rakandra|Rakandran]] armourers who live in the capital. Regolean divisions fight with regimented precision, executing intricate tactical maneuvers that have defeated much larger forces. The troops are renowned for their discipline, and are considered the finest infantry of the current age.

===Umbra===
:[[Thousand_Cities:East#Umbra|Umbra]] is the newest of the Thousand Cities, founded in 1279AF by the Exalts Icarus, Jocasta and Armelle. The city lies on a tributary of the river Mzima, situated between the druids of Bronach and the forests of the Hunter's Tribes. Most inhabitants of the city hail from the Central islands.

:The first residents of Umbra fled the twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin after their homeland embraced a necromantic tradition, returning honoured dead to unlife, so that they might serve the living. Political differences of opinion with the current (Anjou) ruling family led to a division within the ranks of the Ildrini families, and many travelled East to settle a new land.

:Umbra's residents have developed a rapport with their warring neighbours. Soon after the city's founding, Icarus made contact with the tree-dwelling kingdom of Bronach, forming a pact between the cities. Armelle impressed the savage hunters calling themselves Vergolte's People, defeating many during the first attempted raid on the new settlement.

:In 1282AF, Jocasta Mien was exalted by Vergolte in a temple to his honour. Together with Icarus, she has earned lasting respect from the Hunter's Tribes - although some have spoken of their great shame at seeing city-dwellers earn such attention from their patron God.

Thousand Cities:Hearthstones

2007-12-30T05:21:16Z

Morsla: Added lots of hearthstones

''This page contains details on hearthstones that have appeared in the game. Where hearthstones from published material have been used, references to the book and page are given. (E: Exalted; OC: Oadenaol's Codex)''

==Level 1==

;Air
:'''Godspeaking Trillion''' (OC:85)
:This hearthstone resembles a square-cut pirce of milky blue topaz. It allows the bearer to gain +2 dice on Social rolls when dealing with spirits of the Air, or reduce the difficulty of such rolls by 1.

:'''Jewel of the Flying Heart''' (OC:85)
:This blood-red stone increases the bearer's Dodge DV by 1, and adds +1 dice to all melee attacks made with a weapon it is set into.

;Earth
:'''Stone of Dignity''' (OC:88)
:This stone enhances the bearer's dignity and poise, causing any social attacks intended to make the bearer look foolish to suffer +2 difficulty.

;Fire
:'''Memorial Iron''' (OC:92)
:This smooth nugget of polished iron can allow the bearer to vividly recall any strongly positive memory, allowing them to regain a point of Willpower once per day.

;Water
:'''Crystal of Seawalking''' (OC:95)
:The bearer of this shimmering blue stone can walk on liquid as though it were solid land.

:'''Jewel of the Clever Merchant''' (OC:95)
:This silvery-white oval gem gives its bearer +3 dice to all Mental or Social rolls involving trade, bargaining and other business dealings.

;Wood
:'''Stone of Healing''' (E:384)
:This earth-brown stone enhances the bearer's medical talents, adding +3 dice to all Medicine rolls made by that character. Examples of this stone are held by ''Cytheria'' and ''Icarus''.

;Celestial
:'''Gem of Holiness" (OC:104)
:This silver-blue hemisphere imbues its bearer with an aura of holiness. Unless the bearer contradicts this appearance, they gain +1 die on all Manipulation or Charisma rolls to gain the trust of others.

:'''Oathstone''' (OC:106)
:By giving this stone to another, it enforces an oath exactly as if the Eclipse anima power (Essence 1) had been used. Neither party is required to spend essence for this effect. After giving the stone away, the bearer may still use it to regain essence normally.

==Level 2==

;Air
:'''Crystal of the Frozen North''' (OC:86)
:Currently held by ''Skadi'', this translucent white crystal protects her from all forms of natural cold. Skadi may also use the stone to create magical cold by touch, spending essence to cool red-hot metal or freeze water.

;Earth
:'''Stone of the Earthweb''' (OC:90)
:An Exalt bearing this stone can sense everything touching the ground within 10 yards, instinctively knowing the size, approximate weight and movements of all such objects.

;Fire
:'''Jewel of the Forge'''
:This vivid orange-red garnet draws heat and flame into itself, giving the bearer Hardness 8 against damage from natural heat sources. The stone is currently held by ''Ariadne'', who uses it to forge metal without needing protective equipment.

;Water
:'''Gem of Youth''' (OC:96)
:This smooth black lens contains a fossil shell at its centre. Anyone bearing the stone ceases to visibly age, although the stone does not increase their natural lifespan.

;Wood
:'''Opal of the Hunted''' (OC:99)
:This polished green-and-violet opal givs its bearer +2 dice to Wits or Perception rolls to detect an ambush; +1DV against unexpected attacks, and +3 dice to all rolls to evade tracking or pursuit.

:'''Stone of Mending Flaws''' (OC:99)
:This heathstone mends small tears, cracks, flaws or blemishes in non-living material with a touch.

;Celestial
:'''Jewel of the Graceful Courtier''' (OC:103)
This opalescent oval jewel allows its bearer to blend effortlessly into any social situation; adding one bonus success to all Socialise rolls.

:'''Sphere of Courtesan's Constellation''' (OC:106)
:This gold-flecked, orange globe raises its user's Appearance to 3, and adds 2 dice to all Performance and Presence rolls.

==Level 3==

;Air
:'''Windhands Gemstone''' (E:382)
:This perfectly clear crystal enhances the bearer's reflexes, allowing them to apply their unmodified Dodge or Parry DV against ranged attacks. This does not refresh the user's DV; it merely allows the user to ignore penalties to their DV against ranged attacks.

;Earth
:'''Jewel of the Master's Hand''' (OC:90)
:Intricate copper filigree covers this rich brown orb. Its bearer gains insight into artifice, gaining +4 to Craft (Earth) rolls and +2 to other Craft (Element) rolls.

:'''Branch of the White Jade Tree''' (OC:90)
:This polished shard of petrified wood harden's the bearer's skin. All post-soak damage is halved, rounding fractions up. While benefiting from this stone, the bearer moves at half rate.

;Fire
:'''Discord Stone''' (OC:93)
:This dark blue disc allows its bearer to disrupt those around her, affecting (Essence x 2) people. Targets must win a resisted (Essence + Willpower) roll, or be compelled to argue with another person whenever an opportunity arises. Targets can ignore this compulsion by spending a point of Willpower or making a successful Temperance roll, for each opportunity. The effect ends when the target has spent 3 Willpower, or if 12 hours have elapsed. The stone can be used once per day.

;Water
:'''Jewel of Danaa'd''' (OC:97)
:This sphere of inky water gives its bearer a special affinity with water elementals. Rituals and spells to summon such entities take half the usual time, and cost half as many motes of essence.

;Wood
:'''Gladestalker's Stone''' (OC:100)
:If set into a powerbow, this deep red cabochon adds +3 dice to the weapon's Accuracy and Damage.

;Celestial
:'''Death-Speech Stone''' (E: 384)
:This cobalt-blue stone allows its bearer to initiate a conversation with any corpse, as long as some amount of flesh remains on the bones. The stone is currently held by ''Ur'', bound to a manse in his ancestral home of Rakandra.

==Level 4==

;Air
:'''Stone of Airwalking''' (OC:88)
:The bearer of this stone can walk upon the air as if it were solid ground. If they are tripped or knocked down, they will fall as normal unless they can regain their footing (Dex+Athletics, diff 3).

;Earth
:'''Gem of Adamant Skin''' (E:382)
:This glittering black ovoid renders its bearer's bones unbreakable. All lethal damage suffered by the bearer is immediately converted to bashing damage before applying soak. Excess bashing damage (while incapacitated) still converts to lethal damage as normal.

;Fire
:'''Candent Carbuncle''' (OC:94)
:This hearthstone resembles a burning coal, and is always warm to touch. Its bearer can reflexively ignite their weapon, adding +4L damage and potentially igniting flammable targets. The bearer also gains +5 soak against all damage caused by fire.

;Water
:'''Gem of Masks''' (OC:98)
:This rainbow-coloure crystal allows its bearer to change their appearance, altering their face and skin colour. The gem cannot alter or hide caste marks, but it adds +4 dice to Larceny rolls involving disguise.

;Wood
:'''Song of Life Stone''' (OC:100)
:At will, this mottled brown and white sphere causes plants to grow with unnatural vigour anywhere within the sound of the bearer's voice. Trees bear fruit out of season, vines undergo a year's growth in a single scene, and wilted or dying plants return to full health.

;Celestial
:'''Seven Leaping Dragons Stone''' (E:384)
:This translucent orange sphere gives its bearer a greater understanding of the body's essence flows, adding +4 dice (or adding the user's Permanent Essence in dice, if that is greater than 4) to Martial Arts attacks. (''Note: slightly modified from the rulebook version'')

Thousand Cities:East

2007-12-27T22:35:02Z

Morsla: /* Umbra */

==The East==

:Bordering the elemental pole of Wood, the forests and jungles of the East teem with life. Two major human civilisations are found in the central east, but neither has regular contact with the cities of the Central Islands. The East is also home to the two greatest rivers of Creation. Mzima, the life-spring, originates in the Far East and balances the flow of water out of the West. Aletschis, the crystal-spring, draws on meltwater from the northern glaciers.

===Elemental Pole of Wood===
:Above the headwaters of the river Mzima, the sky is lit with a warm green light. Anything touched by the light begins to mutate, for the light brings life, growth and change. The lands around the Elemental Pole of Wood are filled with creatures and plants too heavily altered to survive outside the far East.

===River Aletschis===
:The crystal-spring is the second mightiest river in Creation, fed by meltwater from the northern glaciers. The river triples in size during the season of Ascending Wood, as the thaw breaks up seasonal ice formations on the lower peaks.

===River Mzima===
:The life-spring flows directly from the Elemental Pole of Wood, and carries life throughout Creation. At its widest point, the opposite shore of the river cannot be seen - it stretches out to the horizon. The followers of the Green Path protect its shores, ensuring that the area remains undeveloped by humans.

===Bronach===
:The Kingdom of Bronach is closed to outsiders, except with the express permission of the city's Heirarch. The capital city fills a large valley, but appears far smaller - each building is hidden in the trees, and no fires burn here. Other towns remain hidden in the forest, relying upon their camouflage to protect them from the Hunter's tribes.

:Bronach is the home of the Green Path, a druidic culture that works to preserve [[Thousand_Cities:Beyeate|Beyeate]]'s land. The people of Bronach work alongside plant constructs and wood elementals, and ally themselves with powerful spirits who guard their walls.

:The Green Path have developed the unique ability to cultivate hearthstones from uncapped Demenses, without requiring the construction of a Manse. Such stones vary in power with the seasons, as Beyeate's power ebbs and flows. They are typically not as potent as Manse-borne stones, but their method of construction allows the people of Bronach to preserve their most potent defense: invisibility amongst the eastern forests.

===Hunter's Tribes===
:The Hunter's Tribes are scattered throughout the East. They hold [[Thousand_Cities:Vergolte|Vergolte]], the Hunter, to be foremost among the gods, and they are guided by shamans to continue the endless pursuit between Vergolte and [[Thousand_Cities:Beyeate|Beyeate]]. The tribes hunt both human and animal, and constantly harry the towns of Bronach.

:Each tribe is aspected to a particular predator animal, with Vergolte's favoured creatures (hunting birds) highly favoured. The tribes occasionally work together to repel threats to their lands, but typically act alone. Hunters in the territory of another tribe must announce their presence and intention at once, or they will be attacked on sight.

:Several of the Hunter's Tribes are led by Exalted heroes, often chosen from among the tribe's warriors. Few tribes contain more than a single exalt, however. The Chosen are natural leaders, and typically break away to form new tribes if they arise beneath an existing exalt.

===Isle of Mists===
:Hidden in the mountains of the Northeast, the Isle of Mists projects from a circular lake formed by a meteoric impact. Densely wooded forests cover the surrounding slopes, and the lake's surface is perpetually cloaked in dense fog. The island is claimed by [[Thousand_Cities:Eicentia|Eicentia]], goddess of sorcery, and serves as a testing site for her spells. Few creatures - god or mortal - risk crossing the lake without invitation, as the sorceress wields powers unseen since the Foundation War.

===Lake Simbul===
:The largest water source in the southeast, Lake Simbul shelters many small islands near its western shore. The lake is home to many varieties of birdlife, and is famed for the flocks of flamingos that gather in its shallows at sunset.

:The northeastern shore is avoided by humans, as the mud flats host a constant battle between two of the East’s most ferocious predators. River dragons and giant crocodiles fight for territory and supremacy at the top of the food chain.

===Port Arek===
:Port Arek is located on the intersection between the two great rivers. It is the largest city of the East, and manages a thriving trade in agricultural and pharmaceutical products from the forests and jungles. The city's inhabitants consider themselves Easterners, although they predominantly descend from Central settlers who colonised the area in 748AF. Port Arek is seen as an exotic destination by those in the Central Islands, but those farther East see it as little more than a glorified colonial outpost.

===Umbra===
:Umbra is a new city, founded in 1279AF by Icarus, Jocasta, Armelle, and other former residents of the Twin Cities. The city lies on a tributary of the river Mzima, between Bronach and the homeland of the Hunter's Tribes. Most inhabitants of the city hail from the Central islands.

===Xil===
:Xil lies on the western shore of Lake Simbul, in the far Southeast. Guild convoys rarely travel so far across the savannah, making the city a haven for those with reasons to avoid the traders. The city is largely self-sufficient, hunting megafauna from the grasslands and spined fish from the lake. During the season of Air the city hosts visitors from the [[Thousand_Cities:South#Great_Plains|Great Plains]] tribes, who bring trade goods from their Summer Cities.

Thousand Cities:East

2007-12-27T22:15:02Z

Morsla: Added Umbra

==The East==

:Bordering the elemental pole of Wood, the forests and jungles of the East teem with life. Two major human civilisations are found in the central east, but neither has regular contact with the cities of the Central Islands. The East is also home to the two greatest rivers of Creation. Mzima, the life-spring, originates in the Far East and balances the flow of water out of the West. Aletschis, the crystal-spring, draws on meltwater from the northern glaciers.

===Elemental Pole of Wood===
:Above the headwaters of the river Mzima, the sky is lit with a warm green light. Anything touched by the light begins to mutate, for the light brings life, growth and change. The lands around the Elemental Pole of Wood are filled with creatures and plants too heavily altered to survive outside the far East.

===River Aletschis===
:The crystal-spring is the second mightiest river in Creation, fed by meltwater from the northern glaciers. The river triples in size during the season of Ascending Wood, as the thaw breaks up seasonal ice formations on the lower peaks.

===River Mzima===
:The life-spring flows directly from the Elemental Pole of Wood, and carries life throughout Creation. At its widest point, the opposite shore of the river cannot be seen - it stretches out to the horizon. The followers of the Green Path protect its shores, ensuring that the area remains undeveloped by humans.

===Bronach===
:The Kingdom of Bronach is closed to outsiders, except with the express permission of the city's Heirarch. The capital city fills a large valley, but appears far smaller - each building is hidden in the trees, and no fires burn here. Other towns remain hidden in the forest, relying upon their camouflage to protect them from the Hunter's tribes.

:Bronach is the home of the Green Path, a druidic culture that works to preserve [[Thousand_Cities:Beyeate|Beyeate]]'s land. The people of Bronach work alongside plant constructs and wood elementals, and ally themselves with powerful spirits who guard their walls.

:The Green Path have developed the unique ability to cultivate hearthstones from uncapped Demenses, without requiring the construction of a Manse. Such stones vary in power with the seasons, as Beyeate's power ebbs and flows. They are typically not as potent as Manse-borne stones, but their method of construction allows the people of Bronach to preserve their most potent defense: invisibility amongst the eastern forests.

===Hunter's Tribes===
:The Hunter's Tribes are scattered throughout the East. They hold [[Thousand_Cities:Vergolte|Vergolte]], the Hunter, to be foremost among the gods, and they are guided by shamans to continue the endless pursuit between Vergolte and [[Thousand_Cities:Beyeate|Beyeate]]. The tribes hunt both human and animal, and constantly harry the towns of Bronach.

:Each tribe is aspected to a particular predator animal, with Vergolte's favoured creatures (hunting birds) highly favoured. The tribes occasionally work together to repel threats to their lands, but typically act alone. Hunters in the territory of another tribe must announce their presence and intention at once, or they will be attacked on sight.

:Several of the Hunter's Tribes are led by Exalted heroes, often chosen from among the tribe's warriors. Few tribes contain more than a single exalt, however. The Chosen are natural leaders, and typically break away to form new tribes if they arise beneath an existing exalt.

===Isle of Mists===
:Hidden in the mountains of the Northeast, the Isle of Mists projects from a circular lake formed by a meteoric impact. Densely wooded forests cover the surrounding slopes, and the lake's surface is perpetually cloaked in dense fog. The island is claimed by [[Thousand_Cities:Eicentia|Eicentia]], goddess of sorcery, and serves as a testing site for her spells. Few creatures - god or mortal - risk crossing the lake without invitation, as the sorceress wields powers unseen since the Foundation War.

===Lake Simbul===
:The largest water source in the southeast, Lake Simbul shelters many small islands near its western shore. The lake is home to many varieties of birdlife, and is famed for the flocks of flamingos that gather in its shallows at sunset.

:The northeastern shore is avoided by humans, as the mud flats host a constant battle between two of the East’s most ferocious predators. River dragons and giant crocodiles fight for territory and supremacy at the top of the food chain.

===Port Arek===
:Port Arek is located on the intersection between the two great rivers. It is the largest city of the East, and manages a thriving trade in agricultural and pharmaceutical products from the forests and jungles. The city's inhabitants consider themselves Easterners, although they predominantly descend from Central settlers who colonised the area in 748AF. Port Arek is seen as an exotic destination by those in the Central Islands, but those farther East see it as little more than a glorified colonial outpost.

===Umbra===
:Umbra is a new city, founded by Icarus, Jocasta, Armelle, and other former residents of the Twin Cities. The city lies on a tributary of the river Mzima, between Bronach and the homeland of the Hunter's Tribes. Most inhabitants of the city hail from the Central islands.

===Xil===
:Xil lies on the western shore of Lake Simbul, in the far Southeast. Guild convoys rarely travel so far across the savannah, making the city a haven for those with reasons to avoid the traders. The city is largely self-sufficient, hunting megafauna from the grasslands and spined fish from the lake. During the season of Air the city hosts visitors from the [[Thousand_Cities:South#Great_Plains|Great Plains]] tribes, who bring trade goods from their Summer Cities.

Thousand Cities:Rules

2007-12-27T20:56:52Z

Morsla: /* House Rules */ Added social combat timing

==New Rules==

:This section contains new rules used in the [[Thousand_Cities:Main_Page|Thousand Cities]] campaign.

===Divine Favour===

:''Every action in the Thousand Cities takes place beneath the gaze of the Gods.''

:''Every action has its consequences.''

====Concept====
:Divine Favour serves two purposes: it helps (or hinders) the actions of the heroes, and it gives them access to more potent Charms. Any major action will potentially anger one or more of the Gods - they are quick to anger, and the symbols they hold sacred are not always widely known. At the same time, the actions of the heroes may draw aid from those Gods who oppose the aggrieved deity.

====System====
:Acting for or against the interests of a God will gain (or lose) the character points of Divine Favour. These act like secondary Virtues, and can be drawn on to help the character's actions. Divine Favour has a maximum rating of five.

;* Asking for help
:When calling on a God's aid, add a number of dice equal to the character's Divine Favour rating for that God. Unlike channeling a Virtue, this does not require a point of Willpower. However, the dice can only be used on an appropriate roll - defaulting to that God's domain, but a well described stunt can give justification for a character to use the bonus dice elsewhere.

:A character can freely call upon each God once per session. Subsequent attempts cost them a point of Favour with that God to do so.

:Negative Divine Favour dice can be used to oppose the character, wherever the Storyteller finds it appropriate.

;* Learning Charms
:Characters may only learn charms with a Minimum Essence equal or lower than their current Divine Favour rating with the appropriate God. Losing Favour after learning the Charm has no further effect, other than temporarily stalling their advancement in that group of Charms.

;* Starting Play
:Characters begin play with enough Divine Favour to have learned all their initial Charms. They may add up to three additional points of Divine Favour, by gaining an equal number of negative Favour points from other Gods. No more than one additional point (positive or negative) may be assigned to each God.

====Implications====
Taking an extra dot of Essence at Character Creation becomes a little more useful - in the basic system, those bonus points are generally much more valuable elsewhere on the character sheet. In the Thousand Cities, beginning with Essence 3 (and purchasing some Essence 3 Charms) allows a character to begin with a higher Divine Favour rating, drawing greater divine attention to their deeds.

==House Rules==

'''Speed and modifiers'''

:Any modifier to a weapon's Speed trait that would take it below 3, is instead applied as a bonus to the weapon's Rate.

:This prevents Speed 1 or 2 characters from freely taking 3+ actions in the time their companions take to complete a single task. Extremely low Speed ratings are considered unbalancing as they allow charcters to perform more actions, more stunts, recover essence/willpower faster, and refresh their DV faster than characters with slower equipment. By instead increasing Rate, this rule allows those characters to perform larger Flurries while still operating at Speed 3.

'''Social Combat timing'''

:Social combat operates on regular "ticks," in the same way as regular combat.

:This prevents Join Battle from becoming a perfect counter to all social interactions, as epic rhetoric should stand alongside epic martial techniques in an Exalted game...

Thousand Cities:Centre

Morsla: Added Meredius

==The Central Islands==

:The Central Islands are home to most of the Thousand Cities. Sheltered by their proximity to the elemental pole of Earth, the island chains of the Near South house the greatest human civilisations of the current age.

===Elemental Pole of Earth===

===Allessandra===
:On the island of Eildrathe lies Allessandra, birthplace of the Gods [[Thousand_Cities:Phoebe|Phoebe]] and [[Thousand_Cities:Paragon|Paragon]]. The city is considered the most ordered of the Thousand Cities, and the most modern. It is alo the most ancient – the first of the modern civilisations.

:The city has a vast arena, rebuilt into amphitheatre for the first of the great Contests. Here, [[Thousand_Cities:Parthos|Parthos]] the Swift defeated the God [[Thousand_Cities:Nerat|Nerat]] the Relentless, and ascended to the heavens.

:Allessandra is also known as a centre of learning, with a great university that is home to many of Creation’s finest philosophers and alchemists. The direct intervention of the twin goddesses protects the city from most military threats, allowing the city to flourish in relative peace. The Council Hall often hosts negotiations between warring states, mediating the disputes of their neighbours.

:If the Central Islands recognised a capital, it would be Allessandra. Its gleaming white marble buildings and monuments honour the many gods and heroes who have helped raise the city to its present glory.

===Carakas===

===Ildur and Ildrin===
:The twin cities of Ildur and Ildrin share the island of Nerethain, in the central Southeast. Separated by a steep mountain range, both cultures are entwined closely throughout their long history. Their relationship is defined by their intense competition in all aspects of life. Outsiders often have difficulty distinguishing between the two groups when outside their cities, as they appear to dress and speak in a similar fashion. While the cities share a common root language, attempts to speak the local dialects are fraught with danger, as slight differences in meaning can twist a casual comment into a killing insult.

:Unsurprisingly, the God [[Thousand_Cities:Cypher|Cypher]] has played a role in the development of the twin cities. Both cultures are warlike and volatile, quick to avenge a perceived insult. The two royal families are deeply intermarried, as tradition dictates that a victorious army should seize a royal son or daughter from the defeated city for a forced marriage with the victor. Despite their intermingled blood, the inhabitants of both cities would sooner die than give their rivals any advantage.

:Constant conflict has driven great advances in engineering, especially in the field of warfare. The Sea Wall of Ildur is considered one of the Great Wonders of Creation. Completed in 1252AF, it has rendered the city's central port almost impervious to naval assault.

:At present, Ildur has seized the upper hand in the most recent conflict after acquiring a large number of military-grade essence gems from [[Thousand_Cities:North#Cinnador|Cinnador]]. However, the great general Ariach Dawn-Treader, born to Ildrin in 977AF, is gathering the greatest army seen in their history of conflict. Ariach is considered the greatest strategist of his era, and bears the favour of [[Thousand_Cities:Roane|Roane]] herself.

===Meredius===
:An island city-state renowned for its craftsmanship and alchemical skill. Meredius occupies a sand island in the centre of the Southern Sea. They maintain strong connections with the Guild, exchanging luxury goods such as medicines, oils and liquers for foodstuffs and armed guards. Meredius is an ally of Ildrin.

:The city is divided into several districts, each separated by broad canals and immense walls of water. Bound elementals maintain the walls, preventing the spread of fire through the densely-packed timber buildings. Industrial areas produce alchemical reagents, refining ingredients brought from around Creation. Residential districts are comprised of tall, narrow apartment blocks, often built up to the edge of the canals. Rooftops are used as gardens, allowing the city to produce crops to supplement food brought by Guild fleets.

===Regolus===
:Two hundred years ago, Regolus was an undistinguished nation-state in the Central Sea, on the island of Caraille. Today it is the heart of a new empire, founded by Sartrin, Chosen of [[Thousand_Cities:Klesthes|Klesthes]]. Sartrin assumed the title of Emperor, and began a campaign of conquest that has expanded the Regolean borders to encompass seventeen islands to the South and East of the capital.

:The armies of Regolus are widely feared by neighbouring cities. No other kingdom is capable of marshalling as many Tiger Warriors, nor can any opposition match the perfect coordination of the Regolean troops. In 1260AF, Emperor Sartrin announced a new expansionist campaign, commanding the generals of his three armies to expand the borders of his realm. During the past decade, five more nations have fallen to the Legionaires and Lancers of Regolus.
