Exalted: Unsolved Mysteries

Return to Homepage"Players! Feel Free to edit this with stuff you're wondering about yourselves!"

The City in the Bay
There's the ruins of... something in the Merido Trench, and it looks like at some point it exploded hard enough to turn the area into ocean and shape the islands around it from the shockwave. It's still glowing - from the essence of the blast? - and the nearby tower on Iliona seems to have been part of a set that sat at each corner with some means of getting to and from them. Does this have something to do with the old roads?

The Dragon in the Tower
Trenshe, he was called? What is a Dragon King, and what was someone from far far north doing in a tower in Iliona? And who killed him?

What's the deal with Bellar?
Something's wrong with Bellar, but she's shutting out everyone who tries to get close

The Silver Wolves and the Artefact Bow
Who made Nida's artefact bow? Was it made for mortal hands as Hephastia suspected? And who were the Silver Wolves in Nida's dream when he found it?

Who is the Horned Man?
He's been sticking his fingers in a lot of pies, in ways that don't seem to line up chronologically. But no-one seems to be able to remember anything about him other than him being a big man with horns in a suit of armour.

Who is Bal Sho?
Is he a ghost? A god? An urban legend? He was involved in Guimen and Hontari's history, and was seen on the outskirts of Marrull Vaar not too long ago. Apparently he's bad luck, but do you really want to test that?

Where the fuck is Meng?
Seriously, he took off over a month ago. Is he going to get back together with his ex or not?

Widow's Steely Remorse
This weapon was always an artefact, but Reeds did... something to it he can't explain, and now it's dredging up old memories for Hephastia. Old, painful memories.

Where did the inland Fair Folk go?
The Clockwork Caliphate was sent packing back to the Peninsula, but maybe not forever. And there's chunks of the Song of Flesh and Blood wandering around the jungle inland, almost certainly up to no good.

The Sister of the Ram
What's the deal with it? And why is it stuck under a Manse in the middle of nowhere?

For that matter, what's the deal with the Manse?
Shouldn't we clean that thing out by now? What was all that weird swag inside that Meng sold? And the weird blood? And what were the names of the Seven Devils?

What happened to the Dragonbloods that were lost in the Mirrored Hall?
And can they get back out?

The Shadowland of Hontari and the missing Fair Folk kettle
Some kind of deal was struck at the shadowland where the Song of Flesh and Blood traded some kind of kettle- & crab-shaped walking forge for... books? What does happen to Fair Folk in the underworld?

Fish-men?
There's a weird crab-man's skeleton in the trophy collection in Nulbaram, and Tidebreaker mentioned it was killed at sea. The Knights of Windland apparently also fought "fish men". Are they related to the Sea People like Khungwa, or something else? Are they the ones who wielded the coral spear that killed Trenshe?

Where is the God/ess of Marrull Vaar
The whole business with the Seven Devils shouldn't have happened if the city's god was doing their job - are they slacking off or MIA?

Thruzd Would-Be-God
Seriously, there's a Fair Folk that's ascended to godhood wandering around the Wreckers' Coast that's probably going to bite

The Old Stones
The Great Ocean Road in Jheroth, the Eastern Road on the mainland and the Old Sea Wall are all made of the same strange, strong white stone. It's pretty old and hard to break, although the monument to the Knights in the fields near Ohemaku is made of chunks of it. Is it anything to do with the ruins in the bay?

The Goisagi and the Lintha
What are they up to?

The Reeds Dimension
Has Rob fucked up the lore by introducing another dimension, or is Reeds dealing with some magical post-concussion syndrome?

The Realm's going to notice us eventually, right?
House V'neef is one thing, but you've been doing some pretty hefty local geopolitics lately.

The Guild, too?
Mohan Rao seems pretty chill, but is it likely to stay that way?

The Blade of Five Midnights
Who made it? How did it get in the Horned Man's hands? Why was it stuck in the Dam? What does it really do?

The Last of the Panda Folk
Are Daxi and Chiang the last two Panda Folk? Chiang mentioned most of them were taken north to Zhaojun.

The Swamp Nomads
They headed south at Reeds' behest to avoid the Wyld, on their way to Anaathalay. Just so we remember next time it comes up.

The Ghost Market of Riven
Tokumei's got a fancy coupon for a shop run by someone called Xosefa - time for a shopping montage!

The Wreck, and the creature in it
It's a leftover plothook (see Gods, Spirits and Animals) but I don't think it's come up yet. It's still canon, though!

Frogs and Eels
What's the deal with the frog catchers? They have a union now? Does this have something to do with Five Eels (remember her)? Is this a running gag that's gotten out of hand? All will be answered in Marrull Vaar 6: The Tale of the Rise of Rustling Crickets

The Great Library of An Teng
This one got put by the wayside awhile back but it's still canon

Seven Tons of Raw Bat Shit in the garage
Well, it might have been more than seven tons... Reeds will remember to sell all that eventually, right?

Rampaging Devil Tiger's Reincarnation
That's going to be a fun exaltation...

Clacking Tongue of the Crab Kings in Exile
Who are the Crab Kings? How do you clack without mandibles? Rob said he'd find a way to fit this into the lore so Dave wouldn't have to choose a different language, but has he forgotten all about it?

Tokumei's Name
What is it? Can she get it back? Does she even have a past and/or a history?

House Mistress Cathak Delilah of The Manse Hosting Smouldering Embers
What is the Tokumei's former owner up to? Maybe she gotten over the burn Tokumei gave her? She can't be too attached to going after just one rogue slave, can she?
