===Zenith Caste===

====Solitary Talon of the Veiled Silverhawk Lady====
... formerly Mnemon Opile, is the leader of the Hierarchist faction. She has outgrown the pettiness and petulance attendant with her privileged upbringing and teenage Exaltation, but her inclination towards hedonism is still strong, and she maintains good ties with House Mnemon – and by extension, the rest of the Dynasty – with her frequent and extravagant parties. She is a powerful force in the Deliberative, however, as the philosophy she embraces appeals to the pride and sense of superiority many of the Exalted possess – not to mention the fact that her close ties with the Dynasty give her a measure of influence in the newly invigorated Terrestrial Deliberative that can act as a check on her rivals in the Celestial Deliberative. She also possesses a high rank in the Deliberative military. She mostly eschews her role as a priest of the Sun, playing only the smallest role in the Immaculate Order's reformation.

====Surely-Refulgent Anshu====
... is the leader of the Elevationist faction. He advises the Mouth of Peace and the Immaculate Paragons, and is in charge of the transformed Wyld Hunt, often training new recruits personally in the martial arts. Like his rival Solitary Talon, he possesses a high rank in the Deliberative military. He is noted with some derision for being so eccentric as to take a position that places him subordinate to Terrestrials, although only the most credulous believe for a moment that his subordination is anything more than a formality. In fact, the more astute view it as a surprisingly sophisticated symbolic gesture which greatly eased the Dynasty's acceptance of their new Celestial rulers. He is known to have two children with his bondmate, twin daughters born roughly a year after the Sword of Creation was reclaimed, but they have been so far kept largely out of the public eye. Nevertheless, whispered rumors have it that one of them is not a Golden Child or Moon-Born, but an Abyssal Half-Caste.

====Ta'an Aesin====
... is a member of the Hierarchist faction. Once a Sijanese Ghost-Blood in the Mask of Winter's armies, she Exalted as a Zenith during a duel with Anshu, and was spirited away with the rest of the Grand Circle as they fled the conquest of Nexus. She worked with Anshu to incorporate a limited amount of ancestor-worship into the reforms he worked in the Immaculate Philosophy, and is currently serving as the Deliberative's ambassador to Sijan, negotiating for the ability to use their city as a beachhead for stabilization expeditions into the Wyld.
