===Eclipse Caste===

====De'aneir'a Sera Vestra====
... is a rarity of rarities: a survivor from the First Age, by dint of being put in suspended animation inside a secret manse. She holds the hearthstone of the Sword of Creation, and has since it was retaken. She is mostly neutral between the two factions, less out of a deliberate balancing act than because her views fall between the two – on the famous slavery vote, she sided with the Elevationists, but she has voted with the Hierarchists on many other questions involving the relative proper places of Exalted and mortals. She is an airship engineer and works with Starcc and the Deliberative Sky Fleet.

====Ziyad Antarah====
... belongs to no faction within the Deliberative. Whatever his private sympathies may be, he has maintained a careful, judicious neutrality between Solitary Talon's and Anshu's rival factions even since before the Grand Circle took the Sword of Creation. Where the rest of the Deliberative looks to the Grand Circle as the first among equals, the Grand Circle looks to Ziyad as its first among equals. In addition to a position in the military senior to either of the faction heads', he runs the ministry of education and propaganda.
