Within weeks, the scope of the devastation became clear. However, this rigorous consistency in weather both reduced mortal initiative and more importantly caused a 10 percent decrease in mortal prayers. While the Incarnae only invite their closest allies to play the Games more than once, there are so many gods in Yu-Shan that it would take centuries for every god to have a turn, even if the Incarnae actively tried to share the experience with everyone.
Centuries ago, a dilatory member of the Court of Seasons procrastinated too long in finalizing her guest list, so she rounded it out by selecting mortals completely at random. Perhaps it was a trap left behind by the malignant Primordials. This book uses the supernatural for settings, characters and themes.
The YuShan gates are too small to permit the passage of any flying vessel bigger than a warbird unless the Bureau of Heaven grants special permission to temporarily alter the dimensions of a gate. They are the most meticulous of the Bureaus when it comes to keeping a close eye on their responsibilities and maintaining their function, but this close focus on the minutiae of their tasks can blind them to the larger implications of their actions.
On the other hand: He has no obvious successor within the Bronze Faction, and none of his peers within that faction are likely to possess nearly as much influence within the Bureau of Destiny or Heaven as a whole as Kejak has held. Last edited by TheCountAlucard; at He is also one of the Syndics of Whitewall, though few in Heaven know of this. The gods of the Celestial Court see the pace of life in Creation as unfashionably urgent and rushed, especially the lives of those Terrestrial gods who grow caught up in mortal affairs.
Deities from the Bureau of Heaven treat those from the Bureau of Humanity as juniors and subordinates whose sole purpose is to report to the censors, and they regard the Bureau of Humanity as a whole as nothing more than a source of potential new employees for the Department of Abstract Matters. On the one hand, I know they’re Primordial-powered Exalts, so I have to feel a certain kindred.
However, this alliance is now largely symbolic. Those on the Blessed Isle are the virtual appointees of the Bronze Faction and help to enforce its rule on the gods of the Blessed Isle. Most of his tribute he redistributes, personally funding the salaries of all Celestial officials.
Only then were they allowed inside, where Lytek was only too happy to inform them that the majority of the Solar Essences had begun reincarnating earlier that year. Those gods and Sidereals who had been tasked with spying on the activities of the Underworld had been aware of the existence of Deathlords for centuries, but their information had always been sparse.
To be sure, aspects of the Incarnae played their appointed roles during the crisis. In his weakened state, Ryzala forced him to step down as head of the Department. The Bureau of Heaven was originally situated in the Hall of Celestial Stability, one of the oldest buildings in Yu-Shan; an ornate building of moderate size with orichalcum pillars and jade roofing, surrounded by immaculate lawns.
For those who don’t know, the Compass is a guide to Autochthonia, the living techno-world known to some as the Realm of Brass and Shadow.
The Deathlords have fashioned several spells intended to catch soul collectors, to prevent them from removing souls, or to harvest souls that they are herding. Since the dawn of the First Age, the gods had considered elementals to be ill-bred cousins at best and a servant class at worst. Taru-Han both directs the operations of the soul collectors and oversees the departure of the souls to their appropriate destination. In most of the Celestial City, each jade basin is overseen by a regulator, employed by the Bureau of Heaven, who ensures each spirit takes no more than its allotted ration.
Travelers using the canals for official business typically use the gold lane, which is vastly quicker than the outer lanes.

The game played by the Incarnae within the Jade Autochthonn Dome. Yo-Ping, Celestial Minister of Harmony, oversees autocchthon five regional peace gods; he is a god of negotiation, diplomacy, political stability, and harmony.
The Sidereals sealed themselves within the Lotus Dome to study the Loom of Fate en masse, forbidding any of the gods of the Bureau of Destiny to observe their work. The Club members have downloaded their collective memories with the Games into specially prepared dream opals, intensifying the experience so that it is nearly as addictive as touching the actual game pieces themselves.
Whatever the reason, the Sun who could not be conquered has instead been lulled into complacency, and the Vindicators mean to do something about it, even if it means somehow destroying the Jade Pleasure Dome itself. Rich Thomas Production Manager: The Incarnae also relocated the Bureaus of Humanity, Nature and Seasons to Yu-Shan, but only the most competent and loyal compasz were permitted to work in Heaven, overseeing those deities of the Terrestrial Bureaucracy who performed the actual fieldwork of the bureaus with which comlass were associated.
His great work, The Procedures of Creation, is the massive collection of scrolls held by the Office of Intelligent Design that documents every thaumaturgical Procedure ever performed in Creation. Terrestrial spirits lack any access to either material, although while in Heaven Terrestrial gods are afforded a ration of Quintessence and collect Ambrosia from prayers directed to them as Celestial spirits do.
Home to the Incarnae and the many other Celestial deities, the Five Bureaus of the Celestial Hierarchy and, of course, the Games of Divinity, Yu-Shan stands today as the ultimate expression of how a metropolis should appear, just as it has since before the dawn of recorded history.
Not only would such an action doom any attempt to establish a close working relationship between the Bureau and its Terrestrial counterparts, but Shogun-Regent Ghataru was reluctant to use the Aerial Legion for anything in light of its disastrous deployment a quarter-century earlier.
In fact, one of the censors had disappeared altogether. The Bureau of Seasons is responsible for the actual mechanics of the weather and the seasons.
Employees of the Bureau of Heaven appreciate the Sidereals for their hard work, their efficiency, and their tendency to agree with the Bureau of Heaven in cases of public dispute, but if Ryzala could prove that the Sidereals were behind the Usurpation, the Bureau of Heaven would besiege the Bureau of Destiny with enough audits to cripple them and bring them entirely under her power.
The previously mortal laborers, their bodies hardened by the labor of construction and their minds sharpened ccompass the gift of Essence, were also rewarded. Furthermore, while the gods of Yu-Shan could easily occupy areas near Yu-Shan gates, they lacked the capacity to develop extensive supply lines.
Gods within the Bureau of Seasons take bets on which Solar will be the first to command the Aerial Legion.

Important Celestial personages invariably send servants to collect Quintessence for their households. Even Celestial gods with no cults receive a limited quantity of Ambrosia, if they are employed by the Hierarchy. The lion dogs and other gods of the Department of Celestial Concerns have their offices and workplaces in the Dwellings direcfions the Stern Maintainers of Divine Order.
