Timeline
The primary guiding intelligence of [[Kinaniz]], [[Misplaced Promise]] is all that remains of the original spirit of [[Q'in Sanizaj]]. He has embedded his own graces in both the redoubt and the glory, and spends most of his time enfleshed in the body of Kinaniz. He occasionally takes the form of a winged, parrot-headed man. He seeks to return the city to its former glory, but has some confused notions about what its former glory actually was.


* Ascending Wood, RY 768 (1 year, 9 months ago)
Promise owns and possesses all of his own graces. His Heart resides in the bonefire of Kinaniz and his Cup (a large golden key) in its glory. His Ring (an ivory case containing a map), Staff (an orichalcum seal of the city of Q'in Sanizaj) and his Sword (a thorned adamant rose) are all embedded within his person.

Second, that no new conquest of Creation’s lands shall be made unless provoked. And third, that non-Autochthonians wishing to enter Yugash as citizens will be granted a modicum of rights and henceforth be known as "outsiders."

** 9th - ''Unhesitatingly Loyal Weapon'' destroyed, but over a third of the exalts sent to stop her are killed as well. In addition, isolation seals in much of Ot are compromised in the fighting, with ''Weapon'' attempting at times to intentionally spread the disease.
** 10th - Rumors spread: Yugash being warred on by other nations with disease; isolationism vindicated; punishment from the Machine God. Void cults become more active.
** 11th - With ''Weapon'' dead, ''Blossom'' attempts to regain position as invading general, still intent on conquering. This calls the whole concept into question and in the ensuing debate, it is suggested in a moment of heated argument that ''Blossom'' might have sabotaged ''Weapon''. This derails the proceedings, with ''Blossom'' storming out making threats about taking control away from the "ignorant" mortals.
** 13th - Trams to the rest of Autochthonia sealed.
** 15th - 10% of Ot dead. Cruxis eventually notices this and returns. He sneaks into Ot, but winds up in a quarantined section with no other Exalts. He takes control, but is fighting a loosing battle.

* ''Ascending Water, RY 769''
** ''4th - 25% of Ot dead. 7% of the rest of Yugash dead. Regret sees shadowland.''

== Cast ==
He has attuned his heart to the arcane redoubt of Kinaniz, which allows him to enflesh himself within the freehold, becoming aware of all things the happen within and shape as if present anywhere within (all such test adding Essence successes). He can also spy on any carrying the freehold's pennants or cysts, and may wither this objects at will.

Mortal. Grand Autocrat of Yugash. Behind the plan to break the Seal of Divinities. Machiavellian, but understated. Will listen to PCs if they make any sense. Particularly interested in curing disease. Fears ''Blossoms'' current movements. Secretly doubts decision to open seal, but won't change it.
[[Category:Forgotten Suns]]
 
[[Category:NPC]]
Will probably die offscreen so that the new autocrat can order the seal remade while the PCs are off doing something.
[[Category:Raksha]]
 
=== ''[[Excessively Righteous Blossom]]'' ===
 
Moonsilver caste. Essence 3, 7 foot tall male. Overly idealistic. Actively plotting to take over Ot. Has assembled a good number of followers, mostly exalts sick of mortal control. Has taken over sections with ruthless purges of the infected, which seem to have worked. Mostly exists to wait around until/if the PCs decide to kick his ass. This will send his sections into chaos, though.
 
=== ''Fair-Spoken Rishi'' ===
 
Orichalcum caste. Essence 4, 15 foot tall male. Four large green eyes. Advocate for extra-Autochthonian peoples. Deeply hurt over the "betrayal" of life from Creation for bringing the disease, and somewhat broken. Speaks out against reprisals against "outsiders", sometimes to the determent of Yugash. Largely ignored and fallen from grace, but could provide an ally if the PCs need a political hand.
 
=== [[Silkily Descending Mountain]] ===
 
Starmetal caste, Essence 2, 6 foot female. Most human looking of the alchemicals the PCs will see. At one point romantically linked to Cruxis, but scarred by him when he broke. Essentially assigned to Regret now, which will extend to the PCs when they arrive. Not particularly prepared for the contagion emotionally, with heavy doses of denial and "it will be fine". Otherwise, smart, capable, charming and helpful. Kathleen Turner voice.
 
=== ''Heavenly Bitter Metal'' ===
 
Soulsteel enforcer, Essence 3, 7 foot male. Never speaks. Acts as bodyguard for Kerok now, but actually spy for different nation (Jarish). Quite devout. Internally very concerned for disease and suffering of mortals who have it.
 
=== ''Gloriously Still Alloy'' ===
 
Orichalcum leader type, Essence 2, 6 foot male. One of the only oricalcum castes in the section of Ot still acting as the "head" of the invasion and coordinating the disease response. Not prepared for the massive number of tasks that now fall to him. Arrogant. Will treat the PCs mostly as a distraction unless they get in his way.
 
=== ''Unrepentantly Battleworn Servant'' ===
 
Jade caste, Essence 2, 5.5 foot female. Very haggard, but determined. Working hard to help the people, doing anything she can. Will enthusiastically help cure plans.
 
=== Golden Venna Boar-Rider ===
 
Outcaste terrestrial, captured and now abandoned to the Reaches. Fire aspect. Lusty, rebellious and insane. Inherits Meticulous Owl's soul, and the odd combination of location, aspect and caste makes a strange breed of exalt. Can use db and abyssal charms. Reflexives at will.
 
Drawn by death of disease, eventually hooks up with ''Blossom''.
 
=== Others ===
 
* ''Unhesitatingly Loyal Weapon'' - Oricalcum caste. Essence 4, 20 foot tall female. More machine than person. Caught disease and went gremlin. Had to be destroyed.
* ''Exsirar'' - Mortal general planning assault on Gem until his death from the disease.
* [[Synergistically Industrious Combine]] - linked group, sent to mine.
** [[Stunningly Old Soul]]
** [[Blessedly Stalwart Hammer]]
** [[Asymmetrically Growing Crystal]]
** [[Silently Flowing Ore]]
** [[Unapproachably Bright Glow]]
* Flawlessly Wrathful Sunrise - Leader of scouting party found by Juuken
* Darkly Fluttering Eyes - Other scouting party leader. Sunrises mistakes Juuken for her.

'''Specifics''': Long before the solars originally hollowed the mountain, the place that would be Gethamane held the greatest city of the Nameless Ones. When Autochthon unmade them, some of the fallout spilled into the pit vacated by the city. After constructing the Soulsteel Manse in the pit, Autochthon made mountains to fill in the hole. These mountains never quite matched the surrounding stone, so numerous faults evolved, and these unwittingly made an ideal starting point for the solars who founded Gethamane.

Revision as of 20:22, 31 August 2006

The primary guiding intelligence of Kinaniz, Misplaced Promise is all that remains of the original spirit of Q'in Sanizaj. He has embedded his own graces in both the redoubt and the glory, and spends most of his time enfleshed in the body of Kinaniz. He occasionally takes the form of a winged, parrot-headed man. He seeks to return the city to its former glory, but has some confused notions about what its former glory actually was.

Promise owns and possesses all of his own graces. His Heart resides in the bonefire of Kinaniz and his Cup (a large golden key) in its glory. His Ring (an ivory case containing a map), Staff (an orichalcum seal of the city of Q'in Sanizaj) and his Sword (a thorned adamant rose) are all embedded within his person.

He has attuned his heart to the arcane redoubt of Kinaniz, which allows him to enflesh himself within the freehold, becoming aware of all things the happen within and shape as if present anywhere within (all such test adding Essence successes). He can also spy on any carrying the freehold's pennants or cysts, and may wither this objects at will.
