God of Storytellers
God knows it's been years, but I've been paging through my Exalted 3e manual recently and I figured I might have a story lurking about. You'll have to excuse the vast amounts of rust I might have though.
Anyone possibly interested in playing a Solars game, to discover what lurks beneath Gethamane? If there's at least a few people, I'll pull up some more details. 3-5 Solars, and you can either be part of a newly established Circle come to Gethamane, or perhaps a entirely newly Exalted Solar, having just recently saved your comrades from a monstrous raid.
On the edge of the White Sea lies a small mountain range, wind whipping through the peaks and valleys in an echoing cry that gives rise to their name, the Groaning Mountains. Buried at the foot of these mountains are two giant onyx doors, bound and inlaid with jade of all colors, runed with other magical metals that resist all attempts to divulge their meaning, or even their removal. And yet the doors open to the slightest touch, frozen snow piled high pushed away by less than a child's strength.
Beyond these doors lies not vast treasures, but the city of Gethamane. A rather large city that has been populated since the Great Contagion, yet somehow seems stale and forsaken by the gods. In the annals of Heaven, no god claims Gethamane as their own, only the singular gods that a man prays to hears of this city. And no scholar has ever deciphered the trailing scripts that run throughout the city.
The people of Gethamane live their life simply, a majority of them never leaving their cavern city. To be born to Gethamane and die there is common, and the Gardens provide, if not delicious, then adequate food for it's people.
For all of Creation, this might be a safe place to live, save the fact that even below their gardens lurks dangers untold, tunnels that no man has ever fully mapped. And in these tunnels stalk creatures unknown to man, and sometimes even to gods. There is always the fear of monsters forcing the passageways, stealing up into the city, and taking their victims away. But should someone be able to bypass or defeat these creatures, sometimes great wealth can be wrested from the bowels of the earth.
And perhaps it is one of these which has brought a newly formed Circle to Gethamane.
