Editing Solar Exalted (section)

===The PCs are the Stars===
Make sure you write your plot with the PC's as the stars. This is the most important rule for Exalted storytellers: The PC's are the most important people in the world, but not necessarily the most powerful. Be prepared for your players to wander off and do their own thing, like the aforementioned nation building. In my experience, as the Solars become more experienced, the game begins to write itself, with the characters making their own stories and forging their own epic destinies. A useful tool for preparing Solar epic stories is to prepare a write-up of what would happen if the players did nothing, then modify it according to their actions. For example, lets say the Deathlord Mask Of Winters wants to invade Nexus, and you want your players to stop him. Write what would happen to Nexus if the players weren?t involved, planning out the Masks offensive that way, and then change his actions according to PC action. This leaves a flexible structure, which allows for PC freedom while still retaining a strong narrative feel.
