| 27 Mar 2023 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Tepet | 01:39:16 | |
Aramithius and Raelz discuss what to do with the past-it House that is Great House Tepet. We discuss how to present themes of time moving past the House, where Tepet can find a place in the current Realm, how not to use the Roseblack, and how one of the best archetypes of House Tepet is basically Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender. We also cover a few ideas on games in Lord's Crossing, while basically admitting that it's basically the Home Counties as a prefecture. We finish with a game outline for giving House Tepet a new home and other fun things to do with the folks in Lookshy.

| 23 Aug 2024 | Exalted Lore - Great Forks & Exigents | 03:16:49 | |
The Wondrous Atlas opens on Great Forks, the city where gods have a good time and the mortals quite often really don't. We also take a good look at the Exigent Exalted, Chosen of the Little Gods, and the many ways in which Exaltation can be used in this new Exalt type. Some of them are even legal! Have questions?

| 21 May 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - Lunar Exalted | 01:15:22 | |
Our scatterbrained hosts discuss what plots and schemes are best suited to the Lunar Exalted, with a focus on character, how to get players to like your NPCs, and why having a Lunar impersonate the Scarlet Empress is a bad idea. The episode rounds off with a discussion of some fleshed out story hooks on the situation in Medo, and a scenario to determine the fate of the Linowan and Halta around the Silver River.

| 27 Aug 2022 | Exalted Lore - House Cathak | 01:24:48 | |
Aramithius and Raelz go over the prototypical Realm military house, House Cathak. Along the way we also discuss their House founder, current matriarch, other famous people, and their prefecture of Myion as well as briefly touching on a few key satrapies outside of that. On the way, we discover that nearly everywhere, there is religious tension that threatens to boil over into violent conflict.

Lobsopdoy and Aramithius follow up on the last episode with an in-depth investigation of those pillars of Lookshy society, the Gentes, while never being quite sure which is the singular and which is the plural form. Nor yet whether they're trying to be Greek, Japanese or both at once.

| 11 Jun 2023 | Exalted Story Hooks - Immaculate Order | 01:41:12 | |
Raelz and Aramithius discuss the kind of games you can run with the Immaculate Order, and as befits a Creation-spanning ogranisation, we go... lots of places and themes, with some vain attempts to keep us on track injected at appropriate points. We cover how to reflect the Immaculate Order permeating Realm society, the kinds of things to do with a party of Immaculate monks, and wrap up concocting an audacious "missionary" scenario into Great Forks, which feels like it's Breaking Bad: Immaculate Edition.

| 19 Oct 2024 | Exalted Story Hooks - the Guild | 01:33:39 | |
AlexDrake and Aramithius look at the banality of evil in Storytellling that is the Guild. We go over the main themes you can highlight from the Guild, and how to make all those squishy mortal people a challenge for the mighty Exalted. We also discover the utility of flat-pack temples.

| 04 Jun 2022 | Exalted Lore - Dragon-Blooded | 02:05:31 | |
Wondrous Atlas discusses the lore behind the Dragon-blooded, the least powerful yet most prolific, most flexible and possibly the most heroic Exalted in Creation. Along the way we realise quite how weird some of the types of Dragon-blooded have been over the years... Listen in to find out about these versatile Exalted. Have questions?

We discuss how to best make games around House Cynis, from social conspiracies to exploration into the deep East in search of poisons. We also realise quite how different House Cynis and House Sesus espionage games should be, and come up with a story on the fly for you, the epic matchmaking cometragedy of Ro-Myo and Jaio-Liet.

The Wondrous Atlas opens on the desolation that is Thorns. AlexDrake and Aramithius talk invasion, the dead, the Mask of Winters, what came before him, and what might come after. On the way, we come to the steady realisation that AlexDrake is a sucker for redemption arcs. Content warnings for war and genocide discussed in this episode!

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the House that is far more interested in what mortals can do than any other House. We discuss House Nellens, where they came from, what they do and potentially where they're going, and realise that they really should be a sorcery House as well as everything else.

| 28 Jan 2023 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Ragara | 01:42:57 | |
Aramithius and Raelz discuss the various story hooks, plots and characters that House Ragara supports. There's lots of talk about crime, collecting debts and dealing with demons, and a dawning realisation that House Ragara might be a really interesting choice of questgiver in a particular type of Celestial Exalts game. We finish with a (possibly vain) attempt to envision what a morally good House Ragara character would look like. Have questions?

| 10 Sep 2022 | Exalted Lore - House Cynis | 01:28:54 | |
Aramithius and Raelz look into the shadowy soirees and puissant poisons of House Cynis, the Realm's go-to partygoers and slave traders, guardians of the Golden Road to the East. We discuss what the ultimate goals of the House are, uncover some of the most over-the-top NPCs ever written for Exalted, and realise that there is a set of marriages that would be great and terrifying to behold, if the House could ever get itself in order enough to pull them off.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the house that is not a House, and examine House Iselsi and their vendetta against the other Great Houses that so eagerly picked them apart. We discuss their history and holdings, and why they could be the last hope for the Realm. Maybe. Or maybe they're just a bunch of trained killers without a leader any more.

| 22 Jul 2023 | Exalted Story Hooks - Realm Education | 01:22:54 | |
It's back to school for the Wondrous Atlas lads as we go over the different kinds of stories you can tell in and around the Realm's education system. As well as discussing general principles about how to run lesson content and "extracurricular" activies, we discuss what kinds of story each school is best suited to tell, and how to run things from the teachers' perspective as well as the pupils. We also present a different story seed for each of the main schools, as well as presenting an off-the-wall story using the schools a springboard for a runaway game. We do mention a particular charm in this episode, and erroneously attribute it to Miracles of the Solar Exalted. The charm Raelz was thinking of was in fact Moon-and-Earth Marriage, from Heirs to the Shogunate. Check out the show's website for more episodes and story seeds. Have questions?

| 29 Oct 2022 | Exalted Lore - House Mnemon | 01:57:12 | |
Aramithius and Raelz dig into House Mnemon, that great place of architects and Immaculacy (see, we found the proper word!), which we decide is possibly most Realm-est of Houses. We find that they're mostly good people, but get VERY opinionated about the House founder, who is one of the best sorcerers, most brilliant politicians, and possibly the creepiest grandma you could ever have. For many, many reasons. Check out the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.com Have questions?

| 23 Nov 2024 | Exalted Lore - Vaneha | 01:27:30 | |
The Wondrous Atlas opens on Vaneha, one of the new locations from Third Edition. Aramithius and Blaque dig into a world of manicured gardens, rising nationalism, martial excellence and child hostage-taking that's trying to become an institution. Bibliography Third Edition

| 19 Oct 2024 | Exalted Lore - the Guild | 02:30:23 | |
The Wondrous Atlas opens on the Guild, that mortal-run entity that will sell you everything, for a price. Also many, many things that you don't want but have to put up with. Aramithius and AlexDrake go over its history, structure and place in Creation's economic system, while trying not to despair at the banality of evil that this lifeblood of trade can represent.

| 04 Mar 2023 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Sesus | 01:34:57 | |
The Wondrous Atlas discuss all of the various schemes and plots and hooks that can come out of House Sesus, from how to think about Great House espionage in general to the school of hard knocks in the Palace of the Tamed Storm, there can be quite an unfortunate series of events going on. Lots of suggestions for how Sesus can be used as antagonists in non-Sesus games as well. It's almost like they were designed that way.

Aramithius and Raelz discuss the Great House Sesus, who aren't really so great when you get down to it. There are criminals, blaggards and stooges a-plenty in this House, which is everything from a no-holds-barred military house to some of the most competent spies in the Realm. Have questions?

| 28 Jan 2023 | Exalted Lore - House Ragara | 01:44:32 | |
The Wondrous Atlas opens on Great House Ragara, an unusually patriarchal clan of bankers who really don't want to be brought into the light, alongside their home prefecture of Corin. Along the way we discuss heresy, nefarious finacial schemes, incest and attempts to use demons, Anathema and worse to get their way in Creation.

Aramithius and Raelz talk over the themes of House V'neef, and what kind of games you can run with them. Essentially, anything you want to make of them, as we realise that they're the "make them your own" Great House, while at the same time allowing PCs to play with Big Name NPCs with impunity. We finish with not one but two storylines being plotted out! Check out the show's website for more podcast episodes and adventure seeds: https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.com Have questions?

| 27 Mar 2023 | Exalted Lore - House Tepet | 02:11:45 | |
The Wondrous Atlas opens on House Tepet, a Great House that is defined by a proud military tradition and the most terrible Realm military defeat in centuries. They're a House defined by their military culture, their destruction at the hands of a Solar Exalted, many ambitious personalities (including Raelz's crush), and their vast amount of dog breeders.

This episode discusses the kind of stories you can tell in the Realm, from high school games will newly hatched Dragon-Blooded to ministry games and political intrigue, to some initial thoughts on how to use the impending Realm Civil War in your game, and what it means for Realm Dragon-Blooded characters. We finish by presenting two templates for games, a Great Houses murder mystery and a magistrates game of intrigue and double-dealing in Lathe.

The Wondrous Atlas crew talk over the newest Great House, the motley bunch of outcastes that comprise them, and the daughter of the Empress that leads them. On the way, we cover their character (or lack of it), get embroiled in their plan (or lack of it) for the Scarlet Throne, and have both of us burst into song at one point. Not for long, we promise!

Aramithius and Raelz go over the ostensible "protagonists" of Exalted, the Solars.

Aramithius and Blaque discuss all the things you can do with the wonderful place that is Vaneha, including but not limited to conquest, stopping conquest, swords and politics. This may or may not all be the same thing. On the way, we look at how to plot it out with different power levels, how to involve the rest of the Scavenger Lands, and end by creating an outline of our own Vaneha clan.

Aramithius & Raelz discuss the themes present in Exigents and how to think about them in terms of game plots - everything from relations between Exigent and chosen deity (daddy issues ahoy!) to why to bring together an Exigents circle. The crew also talk over themes of Great Forks, while trying to stay away from all the drugs. We wrap things up by creating our very own Exigent of Pasta, as inspired by listener suggestion!

With some particular thoughts about Mnemon-Darjilis and how to include Mnemon herself in your games.

The Wondrous Atlas crew look into the Immaculate Order, outlining its precepts, structure and origins, as well as its crusading sister organisation and practice, the Wyld Hunt.

We also accidentally discover why spreading peace and love in Thorns may actually be useful in such a conflict.

| 20 Nov 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Nellens | 01:29:43 | |
Aramithius and Raelz discuss the kinds of characters and stories that Nellens best express, from merchant trading to using them to critique the Realm.

| 02 Oct 2023 | Exalted Story Hooks - Realm Roundup | 01:50:12 | |
The Wondrous Atlas crew discuss what you can do with all the various bits of the Realm that we didn't cover in the previous episodes of Season Two. It's a bit disjointed, brace for sudden changes of topic. In addition to talking the All-Seeing Eye, Mountainfolk and the Imperial City, we wrap up with Realz finally getting the opportunity to wax lyrical about how to run the Return of the Scarlet Empress, or how to use it in another kinds of game.

| 27 Aug 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Cathak | 00:58:24 | |
House Cathak has a fantastic moral compass that can lead to some interesting takes on Dragon-Blooded politics. We discuss that, re-tread some ground on how to run a military game, and explore what possible games you can run in House Cathak's holdings, with a focus on Myion as well as exploring what special things can be done in Myion City, the Fifteen Leagues Redoubt, Glass, and Mavinyos. The episode finishes up with an outline of two House Cathak characters we've made that exemplify some of the themes of the House, a rather direct ex-military diplomat who treats everything like a game Gateway, and a garrison commander from Fajad.

| 08 Oct 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Ledaal | 01:30:25 | |
Aramithius and Raelz discuss the story possibilities that come out of House Ledaal, from investigating things that go bump in the night to what shenanigans you can get up to with Ledaal characters in High School games. We finish with what themes work best with games in Ledaal territories, and give a story outline that will see players face off against the consequences of oracle gone bad (or maybe that was never good) in the cliffs of the Arjulf Dominion.

| 20 Sep 2024 | Exalted Lore - Lookshy | 02:29:20 | |
Aramithius and Lobsopdoy discuss the second-biggest Dragon-Blooded polity in Creation, the Sparta to the Realm's Athens, which is Lookshy. Along the way we talk through comparisons to the Realm, take a whistle-stop tour of the Gentes (which we'll discuss more fully next time), and veer dangerously close to real-world politics.

| 09 Nov 2024 | Exalted Story Hooks - Nexus | 02:22:32 | |
Aramithius and AlexDrake discuss all the possible things you can do with the stories in the grand city of Nexus, from exploiting the themes of wealth and inequality (and exploitation!), to how to possibly overhaul the system and make it better. We also look at all the marvelous options of what you can do with the murder machine that is the Emissary, at times joined by the opinions of Drake's chair. We wrap up with a fantastic cast of characters that make up council of a conspiracy to keep Nexus under control, and how those diverse personalities could tear the whole thing apart. Have questions?

| 20 Sep 2024 | Exalted Story Hooks - Lookshy | 01:39:27 | |
Aramithius and Lobsopdoy discuss all the things you can do with Lookshy, from sticking two fingers up to the Realm to how to take warstriders for a spin in your games.

| 06 Sep 2024 | Exalted Story Hooks - The Scavenger Lands | 01:09:15 | |
Aramithius and Blaque talk through some of the kinds of stories to run in the Scavenger Lands, from DIY kingdoms to the closest Exalted ever gets to a dungeon crawl. We wrap it up by creating our very own example of one of the Hundred Kingdoms.

| 04 Jun 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - Dragon-Blooded | 01:15:27 | |
Aramithius and Raelz talk over all of the stories you can tell with the Dragon-blooded, and the things to bear in mind with play. They don't just have to be Realm quislings! Then our expanded story outlines take a somewhat dark turn as we both produce sinister mysteries for our adventure outlines, with one for the Forest Witches and one to find out what's happening in Gloam...

| 11 Dec 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Peleps | 01:18:29 | |
We discuss that, as a Storyteller, there is nothing half so much worth doing as messing about with House Peleps. We do some naval gazing, discuss how to stage the War in the West as well as using Peleps in some landed games, for a bit of variety. The episode finishes with an outline of a monster hunt game gone horribly wrong, and how to mix naval, social and Malfean games… Check out the show's website at https://www.wondrousatlas.wordpress.com Have questions?

| 25 Sep 2022 | Exalted Story Hooks - House Iselsi | 00:56:25 | |
We discuss the story themes most appropriate for House Iselsi, from spy games to exploring the various implications of the Iselsi theshold states. We also discus how to run Iselsi as both PCs and NPCs, and finish up with a rough presentation of how to run a game based around Iselsi assassinations. Have questions?

| 08 Oct 2022 | Exalted Lore - House Ledaal | 02:18:56 | |
This episode we look into the loyal guard dogs of the Realm, the air-aspected House Ledaal, in all their bookish, ghostbustery, supernatural consultancy glory. We discuss the House's Shadow Crusade against the Anathema, and how they're likely to be utterly screwed in any Realm civil war unless they can bring themselves to talk nicely to someone else.

| 02 Oct 2023 | Exalted Lore - Realm Roundup | 03:01:37 | |
The Wondrous Atlas round off its second season by discussing the bits of the Realm that we haven't covered so far in discussing Creation's biggest empire. We discuss the life of the Scarlet Empress, the All-Seeing Eye, Scarlet Prefecture, the Mountainfolk and more, with segues that will probably give you whiplash. We even sneak in a story hook involving a seaside town, a disagreement between some surfer/prankster bears and some sanctimonious crab-wizards that could suck the Blessed Isle into the Wyld. Our D20 Radio Network podcast this episode is Arms Around the Trinity Continuum, which reviews a different Trinity Continuum book each episode, as well as having frequent interviews with the developers of the line.

| 22 Jul 2023 | Exalted Lore - Realm Education | 02:19:33 | |
Aramithius and Realz turn to the systematised child abuse that is the Realm education system, covering everything from when tutelage starts at the age of three(!) to the end of secondary school at twenty-one. We discuss the varied curricular of the military academies of the House of Bells and Pasiap's Stair, the bureaucratic sweatshop that is the Spiral Academy, the place of tranquility and punching that is the Cloister of Wisdom, and the metaphysical laboratory of the Heptagram sorcery school, along with a host of minor schools.
