Introduction

It is the year 46 of the New Solar Deliberative. Enemies ring Creation, circling a kingdom championed by reborn god-kings, but whose foundations are crumbling stones. The prior Age had been broken by disease, scourged by the hatred of the wakeful dead, preyed upon by beings whose law is older than Creation, and guttered out in a civil war that laid low the empire that defined its Age. The new Age sees ancient heroes return to a foundering world on the edge of Abyss. For their sins, the decadent heroes of the past were slain, their powers locked away from the world they had terrorized. Given a second chance, all of Heaven looks down watchfully - will the power to save the world damn these heroes with the pride that could destroy it, or will they fulfill their shining destinies and make true their dreams of paradise on Earth?

The Age of Sorrows is gone. The Age of Judgment has begun.

 

The Unrelenting Storm

A Celestial Martial Art for use with either a single greatsword or paired short swords.


There are few forces in creation that can match the pure unbridled fury of a storm. In the High Age of the Solars this style was practiced by Solars who had already reached the pinnacle of Solar battlefield technique. Although the techniques were thought lost when the Solars were forced from creation, it appears to have returned to Creation in the person of Steel Tsunami, the shard-successor to the former Grand Master of the style Adamant Blade Tsunami.

This form may be practiced in any armor, and uses greatswords and straightswords, and their artifact equivalents, as form weapons.

Gentle Embrace Style

A Celestial Martial Art designed to be used barehanded and without armor.

Developed early in the Age of Judgment by the Bishop of the Chalcedony Thurible, the Gentle Embrace style is the epitome of combat inspired by the Void Itself. Where the Hungry Ghost style draws on mere Nephwracks for its inspiration, Gentle Embrace Style’s soothing name belies its true nature: the drawn open mouth of the Void.

Gentle Embrace Style has Resonance costs for many of its charms. As such, it is very likely to cause Resonance Outbreaks whenever it is used. This is considered a feature by its developer, ensuring that the Style’s practitioners stay faithful to the will of the Neverborn, or else feel their displeasure directly and swiftly. Non-Abyssal practitioners of the Style, if any could be found who would want to learn such a inauspicious style, may substitute one temporary Willpower and one Limit for any Resonance cost listed. It must be noted, however, that many of the style’s effects are based on the practitioner’s Resonance score, which for those without Dark Fate is always zero.

Gentle Embrace Style, inspired as it is by Hungry Ghost Style, is incompatible with armor and has no form weapons.

Indomitable Archangel Style

A Celestial Martial Art for use with paired sword and pistol.

Long ago, during the High First Age, seven guiding ideals were held in the highest regard among the Shining Mandala Intangible school of Solar Exalts; Charity that would see the world shine as gold, Graciousness that would win the stoniest of heart, Patience that would outlast the world, Heroism that would overcome all fear, Mercy that would humble the most ruthless of enemies, Perseverance that would abide no obstacle, and Hope to shine in the darkest of times.

It was the gentlest of Solars; a young woman of the Zenith caste who heard the words of the Unconquered Sun.  Sol Invictus commanded her to forge these principles into a mighty weapon that would reap prosperity from strife, that would fell the wicked, and rekindle the light of the virtuous.
