Each of the five
castes of
Solar Exalted are known for different skills or attributes, and they all have unique powers focused through their
Anima Banners
Dawn Caste Solar Exalted- The Exalts of Dawn are the warriors of the Solars, masterful in every facet of the art of combat. To compensate, they rarely excel at any
mental or
social skills. When they exert their
Anima, the sheer might of the
Unconquered Sun flows through and any foes near him are scared witless.
Zenith Caste Solar Exalted- The Exalts of Zenith are the priests of the Unconquered Sun, competent in the skills required to teach, preach, and rule. On the other hand, they are known for
fanatical adherence to rules, to the point of being
incapable of bending in some situations. The exerted force of their Anima can prevent corpses from rising as
Undead or even decimate already risen zombies and ghosts.
Twilight Caste Solar Exalted- The Exalts of Twilight are the
scholars of the Solar groupings, capable of great working with Lore and
Artifice. This does mean that they have a reputation for both social ineptitude and
frailty. When they expend power through their Anima, a shimmering defensive
barrier is projected around the things or people they need to protect.
Night Caste Solar Exalted- The Exalts of Night are the assassins and thieves of the Solar castes,
fleet of foot and possessing sharp marksmen’s eyes. They are known for being somewhat cold socially, as they tend to hide many things, and being low in
Stamina to reflect their extremely lithe frames. Their expended Anima force can disguise them from the sight of other people, and even from magical detection.
Eclipse Caste Solar Exalted- The Exalts of the Eclipse are the
ambassadors of the Solars to the world at large, silver-tongued and pleasant in visage. They are not known for any remarkable weakness, instead they are
generalists with no major high points. Their expended Anima powers can be used to sanctify oaths in such a way that all the gods will punish the
oath breaker.
A tale attributed to many
Perfect Circles over the years involves the group being ambushed by a rival mage or Exalt, and the foe saying
"You call yourself a Perfect Circle, but I can plainly see there is no
Night Caste member
