Is it the true that Great Forks has been moved to the west bank of the neighbouring river? It was on the east bank in 1st and I think also in 2nd? Is this a change or a mistake on the new map?

Hi Rob, keep up the good work! I was just wondering from another thread, at the moment do you know if Basphomy in Verdigris from the Infernals preview is still on track to be an iconic character or not? I just thought it was great NPC concept I was hoping to use in my games.

Any chance of getting some previews of Exigents content?

I actually had a question about Exigents, but it's one that may have a spoilerrific answer that can't be given. I may also be asking it the wrong way, so bear with me:

We've seen examples of Architects in Revana Quinn, and a little further up the thread there seemed to be an implication that while "Strawmaiden" wasn't an Exalt type per se, it could be extrapolated as one with only a bit of difficulty. We've also heard of the Sovereigns of [REDACTED] now, and then there's a million little pieces of information all over the place about Exigents in general. But the core book mentions corrupted exaltations, which as I understand is being touched on in the Sovereigns of [REDACTED].

My questions are thus: Are those the only corrupted exaltations? Or could conceivably any Exigent exaltation get weirdly altered/corrupted/polluted/warped?

Also, is it the exaltation itself which gets corrupted? The god giving it at the moment of exaltation? Or is it the exigence (exigency?),

the "catalyst" as some have been referring to it, like you have a perfectly pure and noble god with the best of intentions but the only catalyst she can get a hold of has been passed around the celestial black market for gods-know-how long, so when she interacts with it it alters the gift of exaltation in new and horrifying ways?

Exalted Essence. Sounds really useful. Is this a real brochure of releases?

I have some questions about the new necromancy spells in Adversaries of the Righteous. (Nice to see, Manda/Emily/Eric/Steffie!)

Can a necromancer make multiple skulls to use Face of Bone through? So he can give one to each of his friends (necromancers are very popular, you know) and so forth? Like how you can make various tree faces with Spoke the Wooden Face?
Or are they limited to one at a time, and if they make a new one the old one no longer functions?

The example necromancer is Essence 2 and can animate a Size 2 group of zombies with Raise the Rotting Horde. Is it Size equal to your essence, or just 2? Ie is an Essence 1 necromancer limited to animating a Size 1 group while an Essence 5 necromancer can animate a Size 5 unit?

Summon the Shadow-Eaten lets you summon a Mortwright or other monstrous ghost of Essence 1-3. Does "monstrous ghost" include War Ghosts?
And I assume that regular ghosts (Honoured Ancestors, the pissed-off but not insane murder victim we're investigating, the PC's grandma, a dead PC, etc) need a different spell?

Is it enough of an increase to justify things like the dynastic stipend? Do they need to adhere to the one child every x years policy thing (if that's an influence at all)?

Did Hearteaters, Umbrals and Dream-Souled exist* at the time of the Usurpation (unlike Liminals)?

Would most Gods and Exalts at the time be aware of their existence (even if they didn't know much about them), or were they secret? So for example, if the players asked a God who was fairly powerful and knowledgeable 1500 years ago what kind of Exalts were around back then, would they at least be able to name Hearteaters, Umbrals and Dream-Souled?

For that matter, would they be able to name Sidereals?

Is it fair to say that the usual chances of Exalting as a Dragon-blooded from most to least are approximately as follows (on average -- with "wild deviations from these norms")?

1 Dragon-Blooded parent who has just completed the pilgrimage round the Caul (100%)
2 Dragon-Blooded parents with Well Bred (80%)
2 Dragon-Blooded parents, one with Well Bred
2 Dragon-Blooded parents of normal pedigree (or one with Well Bred, one Thin-Blooded) (50%)
2 Dragon-Blooded parents, one Thin-Blooded
2 Dragon-Blooded parents, both Thin-Blooded
1 Well Bred Dragon-Blooded, 1 Well Bred Mortal
1 Well Bred Dragon-Blooded, 1 Mortal
1 Dragon-Blooded, 1 Well Bred Mortal
1 Dragon-Blooded, 1 Mortal
1 Thin-blooded Dragon-Blooded, 1 Well Bred Mortal
1 Thin-blooded Dragon-Blooded, 1 Mortal
2 Well Bred mortals
1 Well Bred mortal, 1 mortal
2 mortals (infinitesimally small odds)

Because until you posted that, I had Well Bred mortals on a keel with Thin-Blooded Terrrestrials. I'm more interested in Dynastic perception and the effects on proposals and marriage dynamics than the actual hard facts, but any insights you're willing to share would be gratefully received. (Especially an Exaltation rate for two Thin-Blooded parents -- I'm guessing around 20%.)

Are the children of a well-bred (but mortal) dynast no more likely to be dragonblooded than the average mortal, or do they retain that increased likelihood of having dragoblooded children?

You do?! I can't recall any instances of that.

I believe it's all colors, although if Eric says otherwise, go with what he says.

Was the Exigence "intentional"? By which I mean, when Autocthon and the Incarnae were creating their Exaltations (though I suppose I should also question if Autochthon was involved in 3ed), was there "some left over" and they decided to make use of it, or were the blank exaltations intentionally created for the use of other gods?

What determines whether an Eclipse's business is "legitimate" for the purpose of their diplomatic immunity? Can an Eclipse fool spirits into thinking they are there on legitimate business when they're just trying to get close enough for a kill? Or does the protection not work if the Eclipse tries to use it with the intent to betray their host?

Was Exigence a thing in the First Age?

And could a solar have got their hands on a dose(?) and crafted their own Chosen?
