>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. Queen of Gem, now ruling the western island of Tianna. You have gathered a lot of allies and friends, and have a powerful Manse under construction.
But Tianna is actually an artificial island, built around a First Age Titan: an almighty flying fortress built in an ancient, forgotten age, and although this is kept secret, two Deathlords are seeking to obtain it.
The Tyrant of the Doomsday Machine, ghost of your past incarnation, seeked it as a weapon to cut her ties to the Neverborn. But you have persuaded her to try and seek redemption in the eyes of the Sun in other ways, and count her as an unlikely ally.
But now the Silver Prince is coming, to punish her and claim the Titan for himself in the name of Oblivion. And this looks like a battle you won't be able to talk your way out of...

>Solar? Zenith? I don't know Exalted...
This quest is as newbie-friendly as possible, and I want it to work as a newbie's intro to Exalted. If you have ANY question, ask in thread. For the setting, google "1d4chan exalted".

>Archive?

>System?
Dicepool-like system. When performing an action, everyone rolls 1d10 when posting. the first X rolls are considered, where X is equal to attribute + ability. Yes, this means that the more people are posting, the stronger Maka is, up to a limit of her attribute + ability.

>XP?
Attributes cost [current score x5] xp. Abilities cost [current score x3] xp, except Zenith costing [(current score x3) -1]. Charms cost 10 xp, except for Zenith-based charms (related to charisma and physical/mental fortitude) which cost 8 xp. At the end of every "session" (thread) you will be presented with a list of possible acquisitions.

Zareen is currently wasting time trying to track down our new Exalted. While there may be some animosity between the two, we need to get them working together to maximise internal security.

We might as well have the spouses introduced as well, both to enforce a more diplomatic attitude when we goto see Zareen, and also to avoid Tia making some unfortunate mistake if Radiant Starfall suddenly appears behind us in the future.

If Zareen asks how we found her, the response of "I just stood around in a dark alley with no pants on" is going to give her conniptions.

>>38646353
Back in Freeport, some Mothers covered up their children's eyes when Maka was walking around the place naked. I like to think that if something similar happened now, they'd hessitate for a second then decide not to - because they concluded that Social 5 Maka is a legitimate work of art , or because they found more pressing need for their hands elsewhere

>>38646476
She only exalted a month before we did, and I suspect that oath was made a long time before that.

No. Amata swore to a sidereal, probably, her boss.

>>38646343
The latter.

Well, the first thing you should do is probably to get Zareen to stop losing her sleep after Starfall. You head to the tower on top of the castle with her, and find her sleeping fitfully on her chair.

The table in front of her is filled with papers and reports, and she spilled some ink over most of then and her own face by falling asleep on them. Some kind soldier put a blanket on her before leaving.

"...Zareen?" You prod her, gently. Starfall seems terrified.

The dragon-blooded is suddenly startled awake, but her eyes take a bit longer to creak open. "Uh? Bluh. Wha-"

"Um, Zareen?" You ask her, as Starfall seeks cover behind you. "I, I found the mysterious individual."

"What?" She's still groggy, but now you can detect focus and frustration in her voice.

"Um, there was a Night Caste hiding in town. She's on our side now. Just a bit shy about being identified." You step aside. "Meet Radiant Starfall!"

Zareen slams her hand on the desk, pulls a longbow out of the table's wood, and fires an arrow that stabs into the wall just behind Starfall, next to the head. Hard to tell if she missed on purpose, if she's too sleepy or mad to aim properly, or if Starfall just slightly nudged her head to the side barely in time.

"You dragon-cursed bashtard..." She slurs, takes one step towards her, and then her bow drops to the ground with a clattering noise and she falls asleep in her arms.

"...That went better than I hoped." You reply. Millian is holding up Zareen, wrapped up in her blanket, with a panicked "what do I do now" look on her face.

(Millian hasn't been trained as a Tiger Warrior yet. She's Physical 1.)

You delicately bring the snoring Zareen to her room downstairs, feeling a bit bad for her. At least she'll rest better in her bed.

You hope that that ink on her face isn't going to completely ruin her pillow. You leave her a note, just in case.

Then, you drag Starfall to the archives. There's still light coming from inside, and you can here some arguing.

"This is a completely insane idea. I don't care if you're Exalted, you can't just do this and expect it to work right away. It would take years!"

"I don't see why it SHOULD take years." You hear a pout in Mikahil's voice. "We just need to make the switch from cowrie to coin fast enough. Once you use Tianna's national bank to-"

"Tianna's national bank? Don't be crazy! It's seven days, the makret's in a crisis, and the sudden influx of treasure from the Lintha War is causing so much inflation that if there's ever been a time to NOT undermine the people's trust in the bank, it's now!"

"This is EXACTLY the time to make the switch! Oh, I get it, it's because having a weak cowrie in Tianna goes to your family's benefit?"

"What the heck are you implying, Mikahil? You're not making any-"

Whoops, time to butt in. You creak the noisy door open into the cramped, dusty archive. Mikahil and Roan are sitting at a large desk, filled with open ledgers, sheets of papers with calculations scribbled in pencil, and empty cups of coffee, glasses of brandy, and bottles of brandy. A large blackboard covered in abstruse math forms the backdrop to the scene.

"...Maka." Mikahil straightens up.

"...You're not wearing any pants." Distraction achieved.

"What's going on?" You ask them.

"Mister Mikahil wants to destroy the central bank of Tianna and salt the ruins."

"I wanted to shift Tianna to a double-currency system where we'd use cowries on the internal market and silver coinage tied to the Guild dinar for imports and exports." Mikahil explains.

"That's not what you said."

"That IS what I said."

"That's what YOUR MOM said."

"Have you been drinking?" You ask, waltzing in and picking up one of the bottles.

"We're patronizing Tianna's struggling spirits industry." Roan nods sagely. The two of them lift their half-empty glasses in unison.

"Oh, Mikahil." You grin.

"Yes?"

You give a shove to Starfall, pushing her into the room.

"Starfall, meet Mikahil. Or, I guess you already know him?"

"I, uh." She hesitates. "We took a shower together yesterday."

Mikahil blinks, stares at her, then stares at his own glass. "Is it normal that I don't remember?"

"It's normal." She replies, shrinking away.

"In that case." Mikahil delicately takes her hand and kisses it, impeccably."Pleased to meet you, Starfall."

Starfall catches fire (or maybe it's just an Essence display) and hides behind you. "L-l-likewise."

"So." You know you're going to regret this. "Tell me about this plan you have."

"Basically." Mikahil starts, putting the glass down. "We secured a lot of silver ingots from the Lintha, and I wanted to put them to good use by stamping Tiannan coinage. It would be a strong, stable currency, tied to the Guild's dinar, but with a lower weight and slightly higher purity."

"His crazy idea is that giving the coins a higher purity will be perceived as more trustworthy by foreign commercial partners." Roan butts in.

"Why is it crazy?"

"Because there's no guarantee that it'll work, and that people instead won't just see it as an trick coin that's meant to be debased later on. Coral tried that once."

"Coral's never been trustworthy on currency issues." Mikahil replies, quite confidently. "We're different."

"...So we'd keep the shells for our internal economy?" You're not sure you follow.

"Yeah. Also, stamping our first run of coins as commemorative for the foundation of Pearl will be great publicity."

"...Publicity through coins?" You just give up at this point and chug down some of that brandy. "...Anyway." You glance at poor Roan Denzik, completely out of his depth. "How's it going with the supplies coming from your family? The stuff we need for Pearl?"

He groans. "We'd take this currency at face value for now, if you guarantee its purity. So, there's no problem with supplies. The only problem could be shipping. Bad winds and currents, storms..."

You snap your fingers. "Speaking of which, Mikahil. I secured an alliance with the Ocean Father, but we have to make some Oaths, because he wants something in exchange but he's being mysterious about it."

"Oh? When are we doing this?"

"Tomorrow at dawn." You glance out of the window. "Five yours or so. Maybe you should catch some sleep. You too, Roan."

You should at least start from the recap threads

"Leave her three-quarters of the gold. The Manse now is a priority." You tell him.

"Alright. I guess it'll be a small run, so we can focus a bit on quality. It'll be very symbolic. Besides, it'll make quite an impact, since no one else uses golden coinage." He nods. "Besides, Roan, we still have that prospection to carry out in the area 'round Pearl, right?"

"You're going to draw a lot of attention." Roan warns him.

"Staying under everyone's radar is no longer an option." He notes. "At this point, it's better to just go all-in."

"I hope it won't burn you out." Roan sighs. "You're good trading partners."

"Just wait until we're out of this crisis and Ill have enough time to crash the west's economy and rebuild it from the ground up." Mikhail replies confidently.

Roan laughs at the joke. You shake your head, knowing it's not.

In all this, Starfall has been silent and hidden behind you.

Do this. Stamp either Maka by herself or (to be a little more subtle) the trio of Maka + Amata and Tia (three queens) on the heads side.

We don't even need to buy the charm immediately - in fact it might be better if we didn't. That way the coins will seem entirely benign to everyone. Then when they are widely distributed we buy the charm and people all over creation suddenly take an inordinate interest in the coin.

For added points, predict that this will cause a spike in demand for the currency, and keep a surplus to exchange on excellent terms once the charm is bought.

You linger in the archive, exchanging a few more words with Mikahil and Roan, before saying goodbye and leaving, heading, with Starfall, towards the nearby library.

"...Did you really sneak in Mikahil's shower?"

She nods. "I.. uh... Mikahil is one who, um... who I felt he could find me, sometimes. He's sharp. So... It was kind of a game. I wanted to see how good I could get."

"Mikahil IS sharp." you admit. "If you managed to sneak up to him that casually, you must be... amazingly good."

She nods, blushing. "Five Tails said that too."

You pause. "Did Five Tails find you?"

"A couple times. Had to run away. Hide. She... didn't like me being too close to Mikahil." She touches a shoulder nervously. "Knifed me once."

"...That sounds troublesome."

"No, it's okay." She replies. "We talked things out."

"...I see." That must have been quite a situation. "So why didn't she tell us anything?"

"I asked her not to."

"I'm surprised the didn't say anything to Mikahil either." You note.

She just shrugs.

"...wait a second. Miakhil is one of the people you had more trouble sneaking up to, and you've been in the shower with him." You reason.

She nods.

You point to yourself. "...I'm not even sure I want to know what you managed to do to me. Actually, no, I'm curious, tell me."

Starfall hesitates. "I, well... um..."

"I'm not going to get mad. You know I don't mind being watched. I'm just curious."

She fidgets and blushes furiously. "...You and Tia are spectacular in bed. It's incredible."

"...Did you just watch, or-"

"I've tried but... I can't keep up with you."

You try and remember. Once the lights are out...

That would explain a couple of times where Tia suddenly seemed a lot less energetic and assertive than usual, only to switch right back. Alright, you're really impressed.

You knock and open the door to the sorcery room, and find yourself in the middle of a very bizarre scene.

Books and scrolls are scattered absolutely everywhere, after what you can only imagine as a furious study session. The desks and lecterns are filled with sketches of blueprints for Pearl's manse and city, ranging from the well-drawn to the utterly messy, and from the sensible to the utterly hilarious.

In the middle of the bibliocarnage, sitting on a "sofa" made of piles of books roughly stacked in something vaguely resembling the appropriate shape, you see Valeriana, sitting with a small cotton-tipped stick in her hands, with Zaan lying on the "couch", head on her lap. She's in the process of cleaning his ear.

You cough amusedly. "Please continue, don't mind me!"

Valeriana jumps up, knocking Zaan to ground in the process. "As if we could!" She protests. Then, ass soon as she realizes: "...Oh. Sorry."

Zaan slowly stands back up, holding his head in pain. "...We just finished - well, Valeriana just finished, I just helped a bit... anyway, we did the designs for the Manse... She wanted you to look at them and decide on one."

She nods vigorously. "And we thought that we'd take a break before working on the sorcerous aspect of the whole... you know. The plan. Or whatever we're calling it now."

"Oh, let me introduce Radiant Starfall."

This time you don't even have to shove her! "H-hi."

Both of them blink, confused. "...Hi." "Hi?"

"Radiant Starfall is a Night-Caste solar that's been spying on us all because she wanted to help but she's too shy to meet people and so she tries to hide behind a secret identity by roleplaying as a magical girl-"

"Maka! Maka! Please!" She struggles trying desperately to shut you up. Then she turns to the two of them. "So, how about those designs?" Subject-Changing Prana.

Val and Zaan stare at each other, then, still a bit confused by the sudden turn of events, They start gathering up the blueprints and showing them to you.

"So, you remember our first design?" Valeriana spreads open some of those drawings in front of you. "A pyramidal structure, with a tower reaching up to two hundred meters on top of that?"

"...yes." Looking at the drawings, it DOES look quite insane.

"Well, we need to cut corners, so the tower needs to go."

"Aww."

"For now. We'll complete it when we've got time. Our focus is on having the bare minimum of the structure, plus the defensive facilities. So I've re-designed the pyramidal section as a eightfold-patterned sunburst-shaped fortress as an alternate design, and as a circular, conical structure, and redesigned all the internals"

"...What's the difference?" You feel confused by the complex designs.

Bullying the Night caste is now something that must be done all the time.

"Well. A square pattern has the most weapon emplacements and rationalized fields of fire for Essence artillery and conventional shooting attacks."

You nod.

"A sunburst pattern has overlapping supporting walls, making the structure much stronger, not to mention capable of supporting heavier stresses and bigger weights and loads."

"I see."

"And a circular pattern means that we can play with symmetry and access points better, improving our logistics organization and troop movements within, and making it easier to defend from infiltrators."

God, between the tower that is later going to grow out of the center of the sunburst and the base design, this is going to be pretty ballin'.

>>38647997
(It won't affect that.)

"...go with this." You hand her the sunburst pattern's design. It looks like two squares crossed with each other, creating a sturdy-looking compass star with eight points. "I have a good feeling about it."

"Alright."

"So, the foundation is already ready, right?"

"Sort of. The focal chamber will be underground, heavily reinforced. It will have all the military facilities, barracks, armories, command and control, and the war room and so on." She lowers her voice slightly. "Also, a secret passage."

You nod.

"I'm designing the ground levels, and I have some modules to put there. What should we have?"

"How many levels are we talking about?" You wonder.

"Well, in the fortress level, it's going to have about twelve floors, and I'd split them, broadly, in three groups of four. So three. Of course, upper levels are going to be smaller, but not by much."

"And then we'll have the tower? Later, I mean."

"Yeah, don't think about it now. We'll add it later. We can go crazy with it." She seems rather eager.

Just to be precise, I listed normal stuff there, but there's plenty of crazy stuff you can think of. A room of artificial wyld for Silk, an AI, a giant statue, a wine fountain, an artificial volcano with lava bath, a giant cloning facility for mass-producing maids, whatever you can come up with.

Or, you could put that stuff on the tower later.

(Don't worry. Valeriana is in charge. Which means that if she wants it to look like a mess, it WILL.)

"Let's do it like this. For the bottom block..." You let your creativity run rampant. "...Well, of course, leave space for fortifications and weapons emplacements. I want it to be a completely impregnable fortress."

She nods, taking notes and sifting through her papers. "Of course, of course."

"It should also have all the workshops, production facilities, everything we might need. Both militarly and economically. Stick quarters for the servants and laborers there. It will be the most accessible floor, and I want it to be a centre of industry."

She giggles. "Oh, I like that. Imagine... So many assistants, so much production capability for aaaaall the toys I can think of... Yes..." Her giggle is somewhat unhealthy, but you decide it might be better to let her be...

"You should add... mh, appropriate storage to service the facilities."

"Of course."

"And the Temple to the Unconquered Sun."

She seems surprised. "I thought you'd put it at the very top."

"Why not both?" You shrug. "In times of peace, we'll leave the ground level part open to the public, so this will be for general worship. It would be a hassle for everyone to climb to the top of the tower."

"Makes sense. Oh! Oh!" an idea strikes her. "How about... we build it central, and leave a shaft going aaaaall the way down from the very top of the tower to the very bottom, and built the temple around it. so when the sun crosses the zenith the light will go through the shaft and shine in the temple."

"Just don't make it a security hazard."

"I'll try." She nods energetically.

"And then, mhh... Either my throne room... or a bath?"

"I'd go with a large, open-air, common bath. Since this part will be open to the public. Put the throne room higher up."

"Alright, go with that." You like that. Despite her occasional craziness, Valeriana has a good grasp of civil engineering. "What next?"

What benefits would an AI give us right now? It's something I want eventually for sure, but would it help significantly with defense?

Even if we can't use it in the defense of the manse right now, It'll set a much better example, and probably have much better long-term consequences.

Brutal, man.

This reminds me, what about Yarapn's baby? I'm guessing we will be seein it at the same time as Maka's babies. Children babies, not maka's makas "babies

>We'll look for a way to do it that doesn't require a sacrifice.
What about Yaraon's kid? This would effectively be the same as being the god of the city, right?

>>38649884
I'm actually pretty sure it's more moral to ask around if anyone wants to become an immortal slave, than to create a thinking being for the sole purpose of being an immortal slave, but voted to have the AI grow normally solely on the basis of anthrocentric optics.

EF, wouldnit be possible to change the rooms/modules later?

>>38649957
When you put it that way, it seems more reasonable.

You slam your hand on the desk, so hard that Valeriana almost jumps back. "No." You state. "No sacrifices. Not even a volunteer. I'm not going to accept that."

The though that... if you asked, almost anyone would say "yes", is quite chilling.

It would be so easy... Just one word... Probably you wouldn't even need to charge it with Charms...

"No." You say again, this time to no one in particular. "Forget about it. Make the AI the slow way. I don't care."

Valeriana quietly nods, ignoring your brief tantrum. "...sorry."

"Let's change the subject. Third level." You command her.

"...Third level."

It would be of help, Maybe nothing critical, but it can direct weapons, organize stuff, help with the fact that you're understaffed.

>>38649931
>>38649942
That's actually a good idea. It would be a new local god. You could as him to integrate with the Manse and become your AI.

The Maka floor should be in the tower.

>>38650036
Why not put those things on the phallic tower?

I'd put the more "diplomatic" stuff here, and leave the tower for the private and fun stuff.

>>38650006
We also have the tower left, we can make a garden one of those rooms, something like a garden veranda on one of the floors

Speaking of the Tower, how/where is that going to put in relation to the rest of the fort?

>>38650045
You mean Maka's bedroom?

>>38650035
>Outdoor garden/inner garden

>>38650078
Because the diplomats would get all huffy and puffy that they're not having their balls and meetings in the swanky tower. We still don't have a barracks, and if we're putting all out military stuff on the fort itself, then we need one, and possibly a smithy.

>>38650078
Gonna agree with this, (>>38650006 is me so don't double count that garden vote) with the addendum that the VERY FIRST tower floor should be the kitchens.

>>38650095
>Speaking of the Tower, how/where is that going to put in relation to the rest of the fort?

It grows from the centre of the fortress.

In Tia's immortal words, Maka is dangerous.

Fancy stuff can go in the tower

"Third level... Third level... Make it a large plaza. It needs to be a garden, with an auditorium and amphitheatre, and a space large enough to also work for... music, spectacles, shows, theatre, but also for drilling troops."

"I can make it open-air with a moving roof, so you can close it when it's bad weather - or dangerous, but normally it's open."

You snap your fingers. "Good idea. Go for that. How much space will you have in the tower again? For adding more stuff?"

"Oh, depends on how badly I can beat up gravity."

You nod sagely. Makes sense.

She finishes her notes and then gets a new, large sheet of paper and starts scribbling.

"...Valeriana?"

"Yeah, she's in the zone now. You got her started." Zaan, biting on an apple, walks by.

"Oh."

One of the things that we need to do is tell silk that she needs to start making hobgoblins.

Then again we are going to Pearl tomorrow so we can tell her then.

If she wants to make them, I remember her not liking other Fae, but I can't remember if that applies to hobgoblins too.

She did get a bit stronger, but that might be like personal strength or even a Behemoth. We should see about getting some familiar charms, they would help in powering her up in a way that doesn't require her eating people's souls.

You sit down on the Book Couch and ask Zaan, with a sly grin: "...So, are you and Val an item now? Or what?"

He shrugs, sitting down next to you. "She's smart, funny, and pleasant."

"Is she your mate?" You press him.

"I don't know. Not every Lunar is a rape engine like Tia, you know." He replies, sounding like he's offended by the implication. "She might be. It's subtle, sometimes."

"You were so cute together." You pike him in the ribs.

"Shut up." He replies, annoyed.

In the meanwhile Starfall sits down ad the table, flipping through a book.

"...Is Talon alright?"

"He's made a complete recovery. Of course, he's changed a bit. This kind of trauma does that to people. You're never going to be the same. But he seems to be calmer now. More thoughtful. But... a bit less cheerful."

You slowly nod.

"...Did you do it."

"Do you always think about sex?"

"Yes. Did you?"

*sigh* "We did."

You're curious now. "...Just how spiky is your shark d-"

"Alright, enough." He shoves you off the Book Couch, embarrassed. "Val's busy now and I got sorcery to do and my private parts aren't something you need to concern with."
