Gavel is finally up for her panel at the Infernal All-Thing, with numerous allies and enemies alike in attendance. As the Circle sets plans in motion to confront Final Glimmer of Fallen Stars, the sheer scope of the Deathlords and their Neverborn masters becomes evident. As does Mnemon Loki's hidden machinations in the con, and Ouroborous still trying to drive a wedge between the elite of demonkin...

The Circle's war against Iolda. The fallout of Tepet Etep and Hundred Venom Stinger's assault on the All-Thing. The finals of the Ruvelia Memorial Football Tournament. Sky Sundering Shadow's necromantic working. Adrian and Ouroborous' setup to hijack Iolda's successor in the ranks of She Who Lives In Her Name's pantheon. And whatever Amir has been doing all this time, in the background. It all com...

The ringleaders of the corrupted Peaches of Immortality racket have been brought to light. We already knew Tepet Etep was the one producing them, but the identity of his distributor is...complicated. And even as the Circle closes in on them, the contingencies they prepared ahead of time make this a fight unlike anything our heroes have been in this era. One that could reshape their very selves, ev...

The assorted background schemes of the All-Thing have officially begun, as the corrupted Peaches of Immortality begin to make rounds at the con venue. Also, the con venue is still alive, angry, and fighting back as our heroes continue to battle him amidst the Infernal meetup. As these demonic fruits prove capable of killing even the Exalted, our Circle will have to find who is distributing them fa...

As HellCon continues, the Circle progresses on their plans to slay Iolda for good. In holding a panel for upgrading their warstriders, our heroes learn more about the people at the All-Thing, and at the hidden dangers lurking at its heart. Well, not TOO hidden-with Infernal Exalted some degree of peril is always about!   Lythander perfects his new mushroom surgery technique and enjoys himself at t...

Even with Iolda thoroughly defeated, a Third Circle Demon does not go down easily. He survives, wounded but intact, in his castle body. Also, Gavel was grievously injured in the duel. As the Circle searches for ways to treat wounds beyond what Exalted healing factors can fix, HellCon has officially begun. And with it comes a smattering of old allies and new Chosen. The biggest gathering of Celesti...

Iolda. Third Circle Demon. One of the architects of Creation itself. Master martial artist. Gigantic bigot. It is finally time for our heroes to take him on personally, in a duel with all of Hell watching closely. Will this world-shaping demagogue be the one to triumph in his crusade of eradicating free will? Or will the Circle be able to pull off what even the Exalted of old could not, and bring...

The Ouroborous makes their move tonight. With Dokuzan's intel, the Circle finds their hiding place in the most perilous place possible. Perilous to themeslves? Perilous to Oruborous and Adrian? Perilous to all of Malfeas and all its denizens? Yes, to all of the above! Their master plan to force every demon in existence to share in the suffering of mortality nears its turning point. Can out heroes...

Lythander's long quest to free souls trapped within soulsteel. The enigma that is Ouroborous and their true goals in sowing chaos in Hell. Aura and Nue's preparations into their grand journey back to El Dorado. Tepet Etep's schemes and his theft of the peaches of immortality. The demon our heroes were pointed to in Orabilis's library has answers to all of these questions. But to make any headway,...

Sky Sundering Shadow. The Abyssal Exalted who's had an uneasy truce with the Circle since day one. Now she finally confronts our heroes directly. And, even if it's an allegedly friendly match of football between their teams, she can still bring Void Circle Necromancy to bear. When your tools are magic that powerful, well, collateral damage and risk of severe harm and death are part and parcel. And...

Our Circle faces off against the rival Circle of Adrian Wheel-Turner, the Ouroborous, and Hundred Venoms Stinger...in a football match! With the Ashen Ones squaring off against a Solar conjured clone army, and numerous counters to our heroes' most fearsome magics in play, it won't be an easy victory. Both in scoring the most goals, and also stopping whatever their real plan is that they're coverin...

In the windup before the Ruvelia Memorial Football Cup's opening games, the Circle learns the peculiarities of Malfean sports law. And of the ball itself. And their competitors. Look, no one expected a soccer game in Hell to be normal, now did they? In any case, the backroom strategies for both the games themselves and the world-shaking magical plots everyone is secretly working on start to mingle...

Is it "out of the fire, into the frying pan?" when you're already in Hell? Regardless, the Circle still is in a rough place even after escaping Mnemon Runelsai's deadly gala. Now that Raksi has made herself and her current evil scheme apparent, the gang splits up to look into what all the other evil schemes are surrounding the Infernal All-thing. All of them are bad, honestly, it's a matter of deg...

As the Circle and the Ashen Ones settle into their Malfeas...vacation? Sojurn? Layover? Whatever you want to call it, the City of Brass has no shortage of attractions and public events. As both the Infernals congregating around Hell and frequent Exalted visitors of other patrons from across Creation gather, our heroes scramble to make sense the megacity's chaos and further their own plans. Lythand...

To check off all the many, many bullet points on their to-do list, the Circle and the Ashen Ones venture into Cecelyne, ready to endure a hellish five day trek to get to...well, Hell. And while the endless desert lives up to its nightmarish reputation, the dangers of the City of Brass itself may prove even more daunting. Especially when the narrator made the mistake of letting the players draw the...

The Circle prepares to march on the Ouroboros's pocket dimension underneath Palanquin, in hopes of freeing everyone trapped in their nightmare shadow realm. But even if getting there is simple, another curveball lies in waiting. Another Solar crosses paths with our party, and unlike Amir, this one may prove to not be as friendly. Well, as "friendly" as Amir gets, anyways. Point is, this one's alli...

Something is very wrong in Hell. The Umbral who appeared there is twisting the foremost souls of the Yozi against each other, inserting the worst elements of humanity and physical needs into the architects of Creation itself. Even imprisoned as they are, this sinister social engineering has...ripples...elsewhere, and it's up to our heroes to stop them! First, they need to find out what just happen...

The Circle did it! They beat the Wyld Hunt! Now to deal with the aftermath of having to finish Novari's play and end things off without having to execute anyone! That is, if they can stop Novari from getting executed first! Also, they still have to trick Heaven into thinking Gavel died in the final battle for this all to work! But, assuming all that works out, the gang can finally rest! Maybe! If...

One way or another, the Wyld Hunt ends this episode. Prasad's forces launch their ultimate invasion on the Maw of Cecelyne. With the Circle only barely recovered from their costly victory over Joktan, and the Ashen Ones worn down by Malik's siege and prior injuries in battle, the Dragonblooded host might just be able to defeat our heroes. Especially with the final ace-in-the-hole they have up thei...

Joktan finally takes to the field of battle herself. She already caused a complete party wipe in the First Age: can the Circle prevent a similar TPK in the Age of Sorrows? It definitely won't be easy fighting an elder Celestial Exalt with two different Sidereal Martial Arts styles and Second Circle Sorcery at her disposal, and that's without counting the Wyld Hunt detachment she has as an honor gu...

While our Circle prevailed against the Wyld Hunt's recent offensive, the victory was a costly one, and Joktan aims to strike before our heroes have time to recover to flip the table on the Ashen Ones. Namely, by clashing the Gaol's time-bending magics with her own Emerald Gyre of Aeons style, and cashing in a favor from the Directional Censor of the Dreaming Sea. Even with Aura's sealed oath compe...

With Iolda sent packing back to Malfeas, the Wyld Hunt immediately resumes trying to kill the Circle and their allies as soon as they can. And the Dragonblooded host of Prasad are finally taking to the field to do the job themselves! Naturally, this only sort of looks like normal warfare, when you have bound elementals, magical naval superweapons, and a First Age suit of powered armor on your side...

Despite the crew's best efforts, Joktan managed to use her final contingency to drag Iolda, Third Circle Demon, and the Second Soul of She Who Lives In Her Name into Creation. Well, at least the Wyld Hunt called that ceasefire after all! With only the Eclipse truce field keeping the demon prince at bay, it's up to nearly a dozen Chosen to work together to fend off Iolda's horrifying powers and sen...

With the Wyld Hunt successfully on to Joktan's scheme to summon and assassinate Iolda, their "captured" Infernal decides now is a good time to drop the act and harvest as much blood for the summoning ritual as possible. The Circle debates on whether or not they should help the people trying to kill them in service of stopping a much greater evil. And, for that matter, how to stop him. Gnosis has a...

With a few key victories already under their belt, the Circle enacts a clever scheme to expose Gnosis's trickery and (hopefully) end this war without further demon-attracting bloodshed. Surprisingly enough, however, the army of religious fanatics won't back down easily, and Joktan has horrifying backup plans in the wings to ensure she can still draw the war out for her win condition. Also, the Apr...
