Editing SoF Exalted/CC Summary (section)

===Celestial Exalted===

The Celestial Exalted are the chosen champions of the gods. The Exaltation occurs when the Celestial Essence attaches itself to a person's soul. Those so blessed are chosen for various reasons, but all are Exalted for their capacity to use the Exaltation to it's fullest. Candidates are chosen by Lytek, the god of Exaltation. They were all created as weapons and servants of the causes of their patrons and are potentially the most powerful beings in all of Creation and beyond. 


====Solars====

Known also as the Lawgivers, the Solar Exalted are the champions of the Unconquered Sun. Once the masters of Creation, the Solars were betrayed and usurped by their trusted advisors and soldiers. Most Solars were unable to be reborn until recently, their Exaltation trapped in the Jade Prison, and the Wyld Hunt was organized to slay those few who did find a way to reincarnate. 


'''Dawn Caste'''

The Dawn Caste of the Solar Exalted is filled with the soldiers, generals, and martial champions of the Unconquered Sun. Some of Creation's greatest warriors herald from their ranks, as Dawn Caste essence shards manifest only in warriors. Even so, a warrior can take many forms ranging from war veterans to gang leaders.


'''Eclipse Caste'''

The Eclipse Caste Solar Exalted are most commonly Exalted from bureaucrats, diplomats, and couriers-- those who excel at social interaction. Where the other Solars represent mastery over Combat, Performance, Sorcery, and Stealth, the Eclipse Caste Solars are masters of negotiation and deal-making. Where a Dawn Caste might use his sword to defeat an army on the battlefield, an Eclipse will use his mastery of words to defeat a nation in its courts. 


'''Night Caste'''

The Night Caste of the Solar Exalted are usually exalted from the best spies, assassins, and thieves Creation has to offer. In the First Age the Night Caste solars served as silent assassins and enforcers of the law, allowing the light of the Sun to shine through even in darkness, and in the Second Age, some Night Castes are returning to this duty.


'''Twilight Caste'''

The Twilight Caste Solar Exalted are most commonly Exalted from scholars, and artisans-- those who are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and education. The Twilight Caste are best known for their powerful dominion over the realms of sorcery and magic. Since the Solars are the only Exalted with natural access to the highest circle of sorcery (The Solar Circle), many of the greatest sorcerers in Creation have been Twilight Castes.


'''Zenith Caste'''

The Zenith Caste Solar Exalted are priests, prophets and mystics. The Golden Bulls lead their circlemates into the fight against the Creatures of Darkness.


====Lunars====

These mighty savages are the champions of Luna. The Lunars were once the mates of the Solar Exalted, as well as their bodyguards and commanders of their armies. The Lunar Exalts either fled to the hinterlands of the Threshold after the Usurpation or died alongside their mates in futile battle. Today, most of these shapeshifting warriors live as barbarians, blaming the downfall of the Solars (and even their inability to save them) on civilization's softening effects.

The Lunar Exalted are the Chosen of Luna and are the most chaotic and savage of the Exalted. In the First Age the cunning shapeshifters were skilled fighters and capable generals who were commonly bonded in wedlock to the Solar Exalted. Those that did not die with their Solar mates fled to the edges of Creation. 


'''Changing Moon Caste'''

The Changing Moon Caste are the tricksters of Luna, masters of social influence, force of personality, persuasion and deceit. They defend Creation and the Silver Pact with their cunning, deception, and persuasion. Using guile or raw animal magnetism, Changing Moons trust in their ability to get other beings to do what is necessary. They are unmatched spies, assassins, and leaders. 


'''Full Moon Caste'''

The Full Moon Caste of the Lunar Exalted are the warriors of Luna, masters of physical force, agility, toughness and endurance. Named after the time when Luna is at her strongest, Full Moons defend Creation with their might, beating back the Wyld and other threats with moonsilver-edged blades or even their own claws and fangs.

Unquestionably the greatest warriors of the Silver Pact, they are unparalleled among the Exalted in might. Few beings can take on a Full Moon in combat, and even freshly tattoed Nightfangs are a challenge. They carry through battles and can leap out unhurt, shrug off the pain of wounds, or even redirect blows back to their opponents. While younger members of the Caste rely on their strength, those that survive to an older age move like quicksilver through blows and strike at key areas, crippling foolish opponents. 


'''No Moon Caste'''

The No Moon Caste are savants of Luna, masters of knowledge, thought, inquiry and the arcane. It was the No Moons who discovered the secret of their caste-affixing moonsilver tattoos, and they explore the secrets of the world under the cloak of Luna's dark nights.

No Moons are the sorcerers and savants of the Silver Pact, and hold much of their lore and history in oral tradition and dusty tomes. They are also the priests of Luna, a task once held by the lost Waxing Moon Caste. While other Lunar Castes can learn the charms needed to make form-fixing tattoos, No Moons learn them easier and faster than others, securing them an important place in the Pact. 


====Sidereals====

Also known as the Viziers, the Sidereal Exalted are the champions of the Five Maidens and the keepers of Fate. The Chosen of the Maidens are the savants and astrologers of the Exalted, as well as matchless martial artists.


'''Chosen of Battles'''

The Chosen of Battles are the warriors and generals of the Five-Score Fellowship. They are based at the Crimson Panoply of Victory, a fortress and training ground in Heaven. Their patron is the Maiden Mars.  They appreciate conflict, even if they don't enjoy it, and even if they don't care whether or not they win or lose, they recognize the importance of conflict itself. Those who are Exalted by the Chosen of Battles are often talented strategists or exceptional warriors even before they Exalt. As the Chosen of Mars, they pick which battles occur and which never come to pass. 


'''Chosen of Endings'''

The Chosen of Endings are the assassins and censors of the Five-Score Fellowship. They are based at the Violet Bier of Sorrows, an office-monetary in Heaven. Their patron is the Maiden Saturn. They are often preoccupied with death and cessation as children. Some spend their early years killing animals or ending friendships in an effort to better understand the phenomenon of finality. However, they understand that every "ending" is only a transition into a new moment, and they bring that understanding to their work. 


'''Chosen of Journeys'''

The Chosen of Journeys are the couriers and spies of the Five-Score Fellowship. They are based at the Golden Barque of the Heavens, a magnificent airship in Heaven. Their patron is the Maiden Mercury. They are filled with wanderlust, be it the desire to go somewhere or to get away from some place. They become skilled at the travel they enjoy and will continue journeys no matter the difficulties they may face, making them perfect for the purposes of the Maiden of Journeys. They also develop interests in the development of people and their own personal journeys, sometimes acting as guides toward enlightenment. 


'''Chosen of Secrets'''

The Chosen of Secrets are the counselors and sorcerers of the Five-Score Fellowship. They are based at the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, a library in Heaven. Their patron is the Maiden Jupiter. They find value in knowledge and secrets. They know that some knowledge is more valuable than other knowledge, and that secrets that are not widely known carry more value to those that want those secrets than secrets that are more widespread. They believe that secrets are sharper and finer weapons than any stilleto could ever be. 


'''Chosen of Serenity'''

The Chosen of Serenity are the diplomats and seducers of the Five-Score Fellowship. They are based at the Cerulean Lute of Harmony, a combination office, brothel and opium den in Heaven. Their patron is the Maiden Venus. They often enjoy life more than other people do and find joys in the simple pleasures in life. They don't seek pleasure for pleasure's sake, but they are looking for a realization of one's destiny through joy and serenity.
