Contents of the Book

This section is copied from the book's introduction, a section titled How To Use This Book and was copied here for the purpose of review.

Chapter One: Childhood and Self

This chapter introduces five members of dynastic society who have been blessed by the Earth Dragon. They each tell their stories of growing up and of the pains and wonder of Exaltation. This chapter shows how five very different people can all serve Pasiap in their own way.

Chapter Two: A Life of Obligations

This chapter shows the duties and expectations laid upon the shoulders of the Earth Aspects. These stories show how these Exalted see their roles in the world and how they themselves work to influence it. You will see the nation of the Realm and the world of Exalted through the eyes of the Children of Pasiap.

Chapter Three: The World We Rule

This chapter illustrates the opinions of these Earth-aspected Dragon-Blooded on their houses, on the Realm and on the lesser beings that dwell with them in Creation from mortals to invading Anathema and Fair Folk.

Chapter Four: Voices Not Our Own

This chapter discloses the views others have of the Ivory Dragons. It gives a variety of opinions from friends, teachers, betrayers and servants, to name a few. Storytellers can use characters in this chapter to beef up the backgrounds of the Storyteller characters in their games.

Chapter Five: Records of the Before

This chapter gives examples of life in the First Age from the historical records of the Dragon-Blooded. Memory of the glorious days of this time long past is lost to even the oldest living Dragon-Blooded, but some records remain.

Chapter Six: Miracles of Pasiap

This chapter contains new Charms for Earth Aspects to use. These expand the abilities of the Ivory Dragons to mold and command earthen materials, to strengthen their bodies further and to develop their superior building talents. New Hearthstones and other wonders are also listed here.

Appendix I: Signature Characters

This appendix supplies readers with character templates and biographies of the five narrating characters. Storytellers will have the Charms, the abilities and the equipment of these characters to use in their own series.

Appendix II: Other Notable Earth Aspects

This appendix contains biographies of five other notable Earth Aspects that can serve either as inspiration for a player or as Storyteller characters. These are experienced — and, in some cases, highly formidable — characters that may prove useful in a game with comparable players’ characters.
