FateBreakers

Final Glimmer of Fallen Stars. The Deathlord who killed the entire Circle back in the First Age, who betrayed Heaven on her death, who crafted the Loom of Doom to fulfill the Neverborn's death wish by shattering Fate and turning all things to their worst possible outcome. After five long acts, she finally engages our heroes directly. It's winner-takes-all: the Loom is active, the old ghost's force...

The penultimate episode of FateBreakers. The Circle breaks through Hundred Venom Stinger's defenses to face him and his Deathlord backer in person. With half a dozen other enemy Exalted backing them, victory is up to chance. Even with Broken Gear's reinforcements, a Third Circle Demon war general, and Gorgamoth as a turncoat silver bullet. The city itself still fights back. As does the Lunar's eli...

The moment is here. El Dorado, the nightmare city Aura's First Age incarnation unleashed upon the world. Calibration, the five days outside the year when Final Glimmer of Fallen Stars can activate her magnum opus, the Loom of Doom, and bring forth the ruin of all Creation. The Circle and their allies have successfully breached the eternal city. Now it's up to them to find the Deathlord's artifice...

With Gorgamoth felled and Fallen Star's strike force exorcised from the behemoth's body, our Circle has a golden opportunity to harness their new ally towards piercing the Deathlord's immortality clauses and defeat her for good. The issue, of course, is getting inside Stinger's lair and El Dorado-the former a Lunar domain protected by who-knows-what, and the latter is the infinitely-expanding eter...

Before the Final Battle and dual assaults on Stinger's lair and El Dorado can take place, the Circle must first survive the behemoth's assault. And while no such creature can be called ordinary, this is one enhanced and possessed by a half dozen Exalted and a Deathlord all at the same time. For the first time this whole saga, the Circle faces an equal force. Can they even make it out of the Urdr w...

In an April Fool's Day episode released a few days early, the Circle communes at Zen-Mu's Urdr wellspring to seek aid and advice from otherworldly sources. Fallen Star and Stinger's plans have attracted many an eye from other worlds: some are willing to prevent the coming disaster, and others would happily throw firedust on the pile if they can trick the Exalted Host into opening the door...   Gav...

As Calibration looms in the distance-and with it the cosmic window for Final Glimmer of Fallen Star's masterplan to begin-the Circle takes stock of the situation. There may be just enough time to approach Broken Gear and his forces for an alliance...which would be sorely needed, given the gauntlet of Celestial Exalted and other potent supernatural threats the Deathlord has at her disposal...   Thi...

It's the endgame now. As the Circle advances on Ysyr, they find its sorcerer princes already on their last legs against the Hearteater they unknowingly unleashed, along with her own backing from Fallen Star and Stinger. It's not a question of if our heroes can shatter this infamous empire, with their own prowess and the heavy damage they've already taken. The real concern is what their nemises are...

In an effort to convince Sky Sundering Shadow to avoid irrevocably breaking the Elemental Pole of Fire, the Circle accompanies her there. In person. While her preparations prevent our heroes from immediately dying when they get there, surviving the heat of the literal hottest place in Creation still is a major obstacle! And that's not even getting into the army of fire spirits near the Pole, and H...

Having successfully escaped Prasad after their sabotage of the Kamthahar's jade stores, the Circle begins their preparations to take on the Dreaming Sea's resident Deathlord. The showdown against Final Glimmer of Fallen Stars will be in one month, on Calibration...Let's see if our heroes' work over this chronicle has borne fruit! Of course, there's a lot still to be done: Third Circle Demon summon...

In the aftermath of Total Annihilation being invoked on Kamthahar's jade stores, the Circle is confronted by the rani-satrap herself, alongside the strongest Exalted she can bring to bear. Our heroes have succeeded in eliminating Prasad's famed jade stores, taking their big red button off the table. Now they just have to get out alive so they can get around to saving all of Creation.   Gavel faces...

With all the chaos from the rapidly expanding shadowland from their escape from Fallen Star, the Circle has the perfect opportunity to break into the crown jewel of Prasad's most key holding: their literal mountain of jade. Even with the majority of Dragonbloods being distracted with the new rift in the Underworld covering a quarter of their capitol, their infamous surplus of one of the magical ma...

In the Underworld, at the borders of Kamthahar, a horrifyingly dangerous faceoff is taking place. With each side having one cataclysmically powerful spell charged up, the Circle must walk a tightrope to see tomorrow, much less the end of their Prasadi sabotage campaign. That Eclipse truce field has workarounds, after all: the clock ticks on, in more ways than one...   Aura attempts to sway Creatio...

The Circle makes a move on Shrike's holdout in Kamthahar, wisely calling that the secret Abyssal is unwise to leave alone in the midst of all of their gurellia efforts against Prasad. Except...that holdout is more of...a stronghold. A Void Circle necromancy construct just...showed up in the Kamthahari Underworld mirror, a manifestation of imperial sins come home to roost. The firedust keg's fuel l...

It turns out that it's the end of Descending Wood when the Circle got to Prasad, which means it's time for a very unusually...sensual festival! As our heroes scamper around Kamthahar for intel to begin their raid on the Dragonblooded kingdom's jade reserves, they realize that Shrike's background plans are more immediately dangerous than they assumed.   Lythander seduces a very legitimate shopkeepe...

As our Circle moves in on their sabotage route towards Kamthahar, the heavy hitters of the Sidereal Host are still here. Not just for our heroes, mind: Shrike is planning something disastrous, and that's not even getting into what the Prasadi are trying to pull to safeguard their colonialist interests. Can the Ashen Ones secure the path to their dreams and defang the dragon? More importantly, can...

The Circle makes it to Rockport right as the Prasadi agents are nearly done excavating the legion of flying ships from their tombs. Once more, Exalts clash against Exalts, and our plucky Circle clashes against a rival Circle. Both of them doing what they think is the right thing. But with Shrike's machinations in the background, and with Shepherd and Galik's real goals, there's more to this confro...

Even with Ivory Edge's ambush thwarted and Rohavin's As In The Beginning blast pushed back, the Circle has yet to deal with their Prasadi nemeses' contingency plans. They did not summon a Second Circle Demon without a Plan B to keep them in check. And, with as close a victory as our heroes had last time, Prasad is not going to let them recover in time before their next offensive. As the gang make...

Prasad is an empire famed for its riches of both money and magical jade, so naturally our Circle's first target is one of their most lucrative jade mines! Or, it used to be...Dragonblooded of the Realm and elsewhere don't have the powersets to counter the esoteric tricks our heroes can use. But Prasad has always been more...accepting of outside divine help. And today, that includes the Exigent of...

The Circle and their mustered forces march towards Kamthahar! After one or two extra stops along the way! One planned, at the court of Blood Nail to gather allies and use Somnia's dreamwalking to spy on their foes and plan an opening strike. The rest of them...not planned at all. The Sidereal's curse on Spider is not so easily broken, and Prasad's borrowed Second Circle Sorcerers are bringing in a...

As FateBreakers begins its final act, so too does the Circle begin their counter-attack on the Empire of Prasad. After an all too brief respite and triage from fending off that devil star and her Sidereal handler, our heroes address Madara and the Tiger's Nest Coalition to chose targets and onboard further allies. Including a faction from undersea with close ties to former ally Mind-Over-Body Orat...

The finale of Act 4, wherin Prasad's Sidereal backers pull down a literal star from the literal sky to try and kill our heroes. One of the infamous devil stars is loosed from their prison, the ultimate desperation move from Prasad to quash the Ashen Ones' advance before they can break their hold on Madara. Can our heroes overcome a foe that the First Age Exalted could only lock away at best? Or wi...

With the Tiger's Nest Coalition at their backs, the Circle advances on Madara, ready to stoke the city-state's rebellious underbelly into a full revolt against their Prasadi oppressors. Not that it'll be easy, given the gaggle of Dragonblooded officers protecting it, as well as the Dragon King merged with a potent war god. And, of course, the Sidereals are here. Multiple of them this time. And thi...

The Circle approaches the Tiger's Nest Coalition, in hopes of building up an alliance to take on the Empire of Prasad directly. Getting there isn't the hard part, after escaping She Who Lives In Her Name's vengeful worldbody and hopping back into Creation. The hard part is that Prasad already has feelers out: even unaware of the extent of the Ashen Ones' victory over the Wyld Hunt, a polity with t...

HellCon has officially ended, and with it the Circle is finally free to pursue a goal they've had since the very start: payback against the Empire of Prasad for rampant imperialsm and trying to kill them with the biggest Wyld Hunt since the Bull of the North! Or, rather, they will be, once the lingering legal battle in Malfean court is dealt with! Also that other Sidereal who has been lingering in...
