Editing Character:Blessed Radiance of Loving Silk (section)

==Backgrounds==
'''Manse 5: The Grand Cathedral of the Most Exaltant Blessed Radiance of Loving Silk'''
Heartstone: Gem of Perfect Mobility

Radiance's Manse also doubles as the headquarters for his cult as well as his residence in Great Forks.  It was originally outside of Creation but early on in his Exalted career it recognized him as the rebirth of it's original owner and returned to Creation.  It's located in the Center of the Temple District supported by pillars sitting above the Palace of Three.  Inside it more resembles a continuous party than a house of worship.  The lower floors are dominated by pleasure areas each staffed with numerous servants.  These courtesans will submit to any desire but request that a donation be made to the Church with it's amount depending on what is asked.  While most attend the palace for drugs, sex, or violence there are areas devoted to meditation and learning as well.

In the unlikely situation that his manse is attacked it will be defended by a potent Guardian spirit Seraphina  and a small army of divinely empowered warriors.  When not defending the manse these warriors patrol the city.  They substancial increase the potency of Greast Forks army but are uunable to venture far from the manse so they are only useful for defense.  Seraphina spends most of her time however indulging in the many pleasures available at the manse.  Using her ability to split into multiple beings means that she is often in more than one area at the same time.  Time not spent lounging is used to craft weapons and armors for the soldiers of Great Forks.

It has the Manse Powers of Magical Convenience, Bound Servitor Force (Use stats for Tomescu), Bound Servitor Force (courtesans with stats of neomah minus their unique charm), Guardian (use stats of Second Circle Demon Alveua), Maintenance: 3, and Workshop Manse.

'''Artifact 3:  Lover's Caress''' 6 or 12 motes to attune


Lover's Caress was originally a wedding gift from a Sidereal adviser to a Solar at his wedding to his Lunar mate and it shows.  This ornately designed weapon appears more like jewelry than a weapon. It's interweaving orichalchum and starmetal designs are beautiful beyond imagining and the claws are tiny and appear blunt. In fact it requires a successful Perception + Awareness roll with an external penalty equal to the wielder's Manipulation score to notice that it's a weapon. The stats are the same for a normal razor claw weapon except it has the magical item bonus from orichalchum and starmetal and it gains the Piercing and Clinch keywords. Attuning to both materials cost double the mote cost.

Blessed Radiance extols the concept of living life to the fullest.  He insists that people put their all into everything they do whether it be making war or weaving cloth.  You should strive to be the best at what you do and enjoy every moment to the fullest for that is the path to enlightenment. His cult more resembles the legions of fans a rock star may have than a normal religion.  The cult is centered On Great Forks but he has worshipers in every nation in the Scavenger Lands except for Lookshy.

'''Influence 4:'''

Great Forks and to a lesser extant some of the small nations in the Hundred Kingdoms 

Many of the spirits in Great Forks remember being rules by Solars.  When Radiance began exerting his influence they were initially opposed but his charm and insistence that he shared what they believed in for the city they were put at ease.  He has no official capacity in the city beyond being the leader of a sizeable cult but his word holds more sway in the city than any but perhaps the Three.
