Aramithius and Blaque talk over all the things that can be done with Exalted games in Greyfalls. Note that your editions may vary. From a fun sandbox for Solars and political schenanigans with Realm Dragon-blooded far from home, to Getimian sorcerers remembering the glory of an unbroken Intou shogunate, this place has lots of possibilities before you even get to the powerful manse that got introduced in third edition. We wrap up by discussing the evocations for the Four Winds manse, which turn it into quite the staging ground for a military campaign...Find more episodes and story seeds at the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.comWhen you're done check out the Story Told podcast, also part of the d20 radio network - https://thestorytold.libsyn.com/Have questions?

Blaque and Aramithius talk over the most far-flung outpost of the Realm in civilisation, the picturesque but increasingly militarised satrapy of Greyfalls. Along the way we discuss colonialism, forbidden love and how the shifting borders between editions can affect the outlook of a place just as much as having a superweapon's power cables running through the place.Find more episodes and story seeds at the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.comWhen you're done check out the Story Told podcast, also part of the d20 radio network - https://thestorytold.libsyn.com/Have questions?

Blaque and Aramithius go over the possible stories that can be done in the tottering aristocratic heap that is Calin. We particlularly look at how to do different Exalt types in the region, from the differences in how Lunars or Infernals would overthrow the place, and we even stumble into how to do a Sidereal office comedy in a place with outdated gods.We finish by presenting a Five Shades NPC, viewable as a quick character at https://wondrousatlas.wordpress.com/2025/02/20/mountain-li-ken/, and discuss creating an artefact ship for the Calinti navy.Find more episodes and story seeds at the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.comWhen you're done check out the Table Top Tales podcast, also part of the d20 radio network - https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/whatcomesafterHave questions?

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Calin, the ex-Realm Shogunate successor state that is both fiercely nationalistic and at each other throats. It's a system set up for administrative failure, and is probably doing fairly well given that sort of a start. But rest assured, it's still a terrible place that is set up to fail in a multitude of ways. We just need to find out how, exactly.Find more episodes and story seeds at the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.comWhen you're done check out the Table Top Tales podcast, also part of the d20 radio network - https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/whatcomesafterHave questions?

Aramithius and Lob talk about the surprising amount of things you can do in Sijan and Gentian. Not all of them involve stealing from the dead, but that is certainly an (ill-advised) option. We also have a mid-stream revelation about the interwar era of the 20th century, and finish with how to use Sijan in a plot to use a magic McGuffin to destroy (or save) the world. It gets surprisingly cosmic in scope.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Creation's premier cities of the dead, Sijan and Gentian. We explore the cities' geography, unique societies and place in the wider world of Creation. There's a lot to these places, we get somewhat excited about them. Apologies for all the cross-talk!

Aramithius and AlexDrake take a look at the stories that can be told in games involving Thorns, ranging from the broader geopolitics of the Scavenger Lands to the day-to-day struggles of the resistance against the Mask. We also accidentally discover why spreading peace and love in Thorns may actually be useful in such a conflict.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on the desolation that is Thorns. AlexDrake and Aramithius talk invasion, the dead, the Mask of Winters, what came before him, and what might come after. On the way, we come to the steady realisation that AlexDrake is a sucker for redemption arcs. Content warnings for war and genocide discussed in this episode!

Aramithius and Blaque discuss all the things you can do with the wonderful place that is Vaneha, including but not limited to conquest, stopping conquest, swords and politics. This may or may not all be the same thing. On the way, we look at how to plot it out with different power levels, how to involve the rest of the Scavenger Lands, and end by creating an outline of our own Vaneha clan.

Aramithius and AlexDrake discuss all the possible things you can do with the stories in the grand city of Nexus, from exploiting the themes of wealth and inequality (and exploitation!), to how to possibly overhaul the system and make it better. We also look at all the marvelous options of what you can do with the murder machine that is the Emissary, at times joined by the opinions of Drake's chair. We wrap up with a fantastic cast of characters that make up council of a conspiracy to keep Nexus under control, and how those diverse personalities could tear the whole thing apart. Have questions?

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Creation's biggest hive of scum and villainy, by which of course we mean the largest trading hub in the Scavenger Lands. Aramithius and AlexDrake talk about Nexus, and all the evils and rituals of trade, rampant capitalism and a super-powerful masked entity with a talent for destruction. Have questions?

AlexDrake and Aramithius look at the banality of evil in Storytellling that is the Guild. We go over the main themes you can highlight from the Guild, and how to make all those squishy mortal people a challenge for the mighty Exalted. We also discover the utility of flat-pack temples.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on the Guild, that mortal-run entity that will sell you everything, for a price. Also many, many things that you don't want but have to put up with.

Aramithius and Lobsopdoy discuss the second-biggest Dragon-Blooded polity in Creation, the Sparta to the Realm's Athens, which is Lookshy. Along the way we talk through comparisons to the Realm, take a whistle-stop tour of the Gentes (which we'll discuss more fully next time), and veer dangerously close to real-world politics.

Aramithius and Blaque talk through some of the kinds of stories to run in the Scavenger Lands, from DIY kingdoms to the closest Exalted ever gets to a dungeon crawl.

Aramithius & Raelz discuss the themes present in Exigents and how to think about them in terms of game plots - everything from relations between Exigent and chosen deity (daddy issues ahoy!) to why to bring together an Exigents circle. The crew also talk over themes of Great Forks, while trying to stay away from all the drugs. We wrap things up by creating our very own Exigent of Pasta, as inspired by listener suggestion!

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Great Forks, the city where gods have a good time and the mortals quite often really don't. We also take a good look at the Exigent Exalted, Chosen of the Little Gods, and the many ways in which Exaltation can be used in this new Exalt type. Some of them are even legal!

The Wondrous Atlas crew discuss what you can do with all the various bits of the Realm that we didn't cover in the previous episodes of Season Two. It's a bit disjointed, brace for sudden changes of topic. In addition to talking the All-Seeing Eye, Mountainfolk and the Imperial City, we wrap up with Realz finally getting the opportunity to wax lyrical about how to run the Return of the Scarlet Empress, or how to use it in another kinds of game.

The Wondrous Atlas round off its second season by discussing the bits of the Realm that we haven't covered so far in discussing Creation's biggest empire. We discuss the life of the Scarlet Empress, the All-Seeing Eye, Scarlet Prefecture, the Mountainfolk and more, with segues that will probably give you whiplash. We even sneak in a story hook involving a seaside town, a disagreement between some surfer/prankster bears and some sanctimonious crab-wizards that could suck the Blessed Isle into the Wyld.

It's back to school for the Wondrous Atlas lads as we go over the different kinds of stories you can tell in and around the Realm's education system. As well as discussing general principles about how to run lesson content and "extracurricular" activies, we discuss what kinds of story each school is best suited to tell, and how to run things from the teachers' perspective as well as the pupils. We also present a different story seed for each of the main schools, as well as presenting an off-the-wall story using the schools a springboard for a runaway game. We do mention a particular charm in this episode, and erroneously attribute it to Miracles of the Solar Exalted. The charm Raelz was thinking of was in fact Moon-and-Earth Marriage, from Heirs to the Shogunate. Check out the show's website for more episodes and story seeds. Have questions?

Aramithius and Realz turn to the systematised child abuse that is the Realm education system, covering everything from when tutelage starts at the age of three(!) to the end of secondary school at twenty-one. We discuss the varied curricular of the military academies of the House of Bells and Pasiap's Stair, the bureaucratic sweatshop that is the Spiral Academy, the place of tranquility and punching that is the Cloister of Wisdom, and the metaphysical laboratory of the Heptagram sorcery school, along with a host of minor schools.

Raelz and Aramithius discuss the kind of games you can run with the Immaculate Order, and as befits a Creation-spanning ogranisation, we go... lots of places and themes, with some vain attempts to keep us on track injected at appropriate points. We cover how to reflect the Immaculate Order permeating Realm society, the kinds of things to do with a party of Immaculate monks, and wrap up concocting an audacious "missionary" scenario into Great Forks, which feels like it's Breaking Bad: Immaculate Edition.

The Wondrous Atlas crew look into the Immaculate Order, outlining its precepts, structure and origins, as well as its crusading sister organisation and practice, the Wyld Hunt.

Aramithius and Raelz talk over the themes of House V'neef, and what kind of games you can run with them. Essentially, anything you want to make of them, as we realise that they're the "make them your own" Great House, while at the same time allowing PCs to play with Big Name NPCs with impunity.

The Wondrous Atlas crew talk over the newest Great House, the motley bunch of outcastes that comprise them, and the daughter of the Empress that leads them. On the way, we cover their character (or lack of it), get embroiled in their plan (or lack of it) for the Scarlet Throne, and have both of us burst into song at one point. Not for long, we promise!

Aramithius and Raelz discuss what to do with the past-it House that is Great House Tepet. We discuss how to present themes of time moving past the House, where Tepet can find a place in the current Realm, how not to use the Roseblack, and how one of the best archetypes of House Tepet is basically Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender. We also cover a few ideas on games in Lord's Crossing, while basically admitting that it's basically the Home Counties as a prefecture. We finish with a game outline for giving House Tepet a new home and other fun things to do with the folks in Lookshy.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on House Tepet, a Great House that is defined by a proud military tradition and the most terrible Realm military defeat in centuries. They're a House defined by their military culture, their destruction at the hands of a Solar Exalted, many ambitious personalities (including Raelz's crush), and their vast amount of dog breeders.

The Wondrous Atlas discuss all of the various schemes and plots and hooks that can come out of House Sesus, from how to think about Great House espionage in general to the school of hard knocks in the Palace of the Tamed Storm, there can be quite an unfortunate series of events going on. Lots of suggestions for how Sesus can be used as antagonists in non-Sesus games as well. It's almost like they were designed that way.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the various story hooks, plots and characters that House Ragara supports. There's lots of talk about crime, collecting debts and dealing with demons, and a dawning realisation that House Ragara might be a really interesting choice of questgiver in a particular type of Celestial Exalts game.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on Great House Ragara, an unusually patriarchal clan of bankers who really don't want to be brought into the light, alongside their home prefecture of Corin.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the kinds of characters and stories that Nellens best express, from merchant trading to using them to critique the Realm. It finishes with an apocalyptic story inspired by a Nellens artefact that is basically the Sword in the Stone. Also, Raelz sings!

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the House that is far more interested in what mortals can do than any other House. We discuss House Nellens, where they came from, what they do and potentially where they're going, and realise that they really should be a sorcery House as well as everything else.

We discuss the kinds of stories that you can come up with for House Mnemon and how to use them in your games as both PCs and NPCs. With some particular thoughts about Mnemon-Darjilis and how to include Mnemon herself in your games. We wrap up with a description of a secluded manse in the South, which is just a little too much of a stickler for the rules...

Aramithius and Raelz dig into House Mnemon, that great place of architects and Immaculacy (see, we found the proper word!), which we decide is possibly most Realm-est of Houses. We find that they're mostly good people, but get VERY opinionated about the House founder, who is one of the best sorcerers, most brilliant politicians, and possibly the creepiest grandma you could ever have. For many, many reasons. Check out the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.com Have questions?

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the story possibilities that come out of House Ledaal, from investigating things that go bump in the night to what shenanigans you can get up to with Ledaal characters in High School games. We finish with what themes work best with games in Ledaal territories, and give a story outline that will see players face off against the consequences of oracle gone bad (or maybe that was never good) in the cliffs of the Arjulf Dominion.

This episode we look into the loyal guard dogs of the Realm, the air-aspected House Ledaal, in all their bookish, ghostbustery, supernatural consultancy glory. We discuss the House's Shadow Crusade against the Anathema, and how they're likely to be utterly screwed in any Realm civil war unless they can bring themselves to talk nicely to someone else.

We discuss the story themes most appropriate for House Iselsi, from spy games to exploring the various implications of the Iselsi theshold states. We also discus how to run Iselsi as both PCs and NPCs, and finish up with a rough presentation of how to run a game based around Iselsi assassinations.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the house that is not a House, and examine House Iselsi and their vendetta against the other Great Houses that so eagerly picked them apart. We discuss their history and holdings, and why they could be the last hope for the Realm. Maybe. Or maybe they're just a bunch of trained killers without a leader any more.

We discuss how to best make games around House Cynis, from social conspiracies to exploration into the deep East in search of poisons. We also realise quite how different House Cynis and House Sesus espionage games should be, and come up with a story on the fly for you, the epic matchmaking cometragedy of Ro-Myo and Jaio-Liet.

Aramithius and Raelz look into the shadowy soirees and puissant poisons of House Cynis, the Realm's go-to partygoers and slave traders, guardians of the Golden Road to the East. We discuss what the ultimate goals of the House are, uncover some of the most over-the-top NPCs ever written for Exalted, and realise that there is a set of marriages that would be great and terrifying to behold, if the House could ever get itself in order enough to pull them off.

House Cathak has a fantastic moral compass that can lead to some interesting takes on Dragon-Blooded politics. We discuss that, re-tread some ground on how to run a military game, and explore what possible games you can run in House Cathak's holdings, with a focus on Myion as well as exploring what special things can be done in Myion City, the Fifteen Leagues Redoubt, Glass, and Mavinyos. The episode finishes up with an outline of two House Cathak characters we've made that exemplify some of the themes of the House, a rather direct ex-military diplomat who treats everything like a game Gateway, and a garrison commander from Fajad.

Aramithius and Raelz go over the prototypical Realm military house, House Cathak. Along the way we also discuss their House founder, current matriarch, other famous people, and their prefecture of Myion as well as briefly touching on a few key satrapies outside of that. On the way, we discover that nearly everywhere, there is religious tension that threatens to boil over into violent conflict.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the imperial behemoth of Creation, the Realm, and how it works.
