Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought for Exalted 3rd Ed.
Created by Onyx Path Publishing - Exalted Dragon-blooded
Dragon-Blooded: What Fire Has Wrought is a core expansion for the Exalted tabletop roleplaying game. Exalted 3rd Edition is set in a mythic world where spirits walk openly among men, warring demigods topple kingdoms, and the restless dead roam on moonless nights. Heroes granted power by the mightiest gods war and intrigue against one another for the fate of Creation. These are the Exalted!
Latest Updates from Our Project:
June 2020 Update

Hello Dragon-backers,
No major updates for this month (our final two goals are slowly moving forward, but not yet completed), but wanted to make sure I continue my monthly update posts to track all of our rewards and continue to share any info about the project (and other Onyx Path projects) so we're all in the loop.
And losing track of the time
I do want to share this exciting bit of fun! As you may know, Onyx Path hosted a Virtual Gaming Convention earlier this month, featuring interesting panels discussing their processes and projects as well as other relevant topics. You can check out the videos on their Twitch Channel or search #OnxyPathCon on Youtube.
One of the videos I'll spotlight a bit is for Exalted: Essence, a new streamlined and story-focused rulebook for Exalted, to run alongside our Exalted Third Edition system and maybe bring some new players into the fold.This is one of the very first open playtests. In theory, from what I've read and heard, it'll give players who aren't so adept at the rules crunch of Exalted a way to get into the setting that we've read about in What Fire Has Wrought and Heirs to the Shogunate.

FINAL DAYS ON KICKSTARTER
Grab your friends and escape to another world!
You've found anenchanted portal — a transition point — between worlds. The portal, called a Crossing, takes you to a world you thought only existed in novels and films: a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize weary travelers, and unicorns prance through the forest. It is a world where humans join other peoples such as elves, trolls, dwarves, changelings, and the dreaded creatures who steal the night. It is a world of fantasy — of imagination.

Novella #2
Two final projects in progress for us! Let's check in with the world of Exalted to see everything currently underway...
EX3 Projects Progress Update:
First Draft:
Exploring the Age of Sorrows: Essays on the World of Exalted
Adversaries of the Righteous: A collection of Exalted antagonists.
Redlines:
Dragon-Blooded Novella #2
Hundred Devils Night Parade: An Exalted bestiary.
Exalted: Essence: Chosen by the gods, their power tempered only by human hearts, the Exalted are all that stand between Creation and the forces that would ruin the world. Set in a rich and intriguing setting that draws from real-world histories and fantasy archetypes, Exalted has thrilled players across three editions. Now, Exalted: Essence features streamlined rules for a new way of playing a classic game, incorporating story-focused action and a presentation designed to appeal to new players and longtime fans alike. Featuring multiple classic Exalt types with Charms for each, written to enable ease of play, Exalted: Essence emphasizes story over character, character over mechanics, and mechanics over minutiae in order to drive Exalted toward engaging players with the myriad stories they can tell in the world of Creation. What legends will they tell of your deeds?
Second Draft:
Many-Faced Strangers: A companion volume to Lunars which includes additional Charms, an animal bestiary, heroes of the Silver Pact, martial arts, fiction, War for the Caul, the Shadow Fang Vanguard, Quick Characters, Magic of the Moon, Mount Namas.
Development:
Across the Eight Directions: a setting book that’s a spiritual successor to the first-edition favorite, Scavenger Sons. This will be a hefty volume of setting material that spans the entirety of the Threshold. It’ll encompass over 40 distinct locales and peoples, each surrounded by a constellation of more neighboring locales that provide context and texture, making it clear that these places exist as part of the fabric of a living, breathing world. Development: Eric Minton and Robert Vance.
Exigents: Out of the Ashes: One of the most important new ideas for Third Edition is the introduction of new Exalts. These Exalts, known as the Exigents, take on themes and powers as diverse as the gods who create them. The corebook will blow the doors off the conception that there are no new Exalted; The Exigents will show the role of the new Exalted throughout history. It will feature a character creation system, a power matrix and a guide for the players to build their own custom Charm sets for whatever Exalted they feel like creating and adding to the setting while Exigents featured in the book will have fully finished Charm sets usable in game.
WW/Paradox Approval:
Crucible of Legends - EX3 Storytellers Guide
Editing:
Lunars Novella #1
Heirs to the Shogunate: A companion volume to Dragon-Blooded which includes additional Charms, Lookshy, Forest Witches, Outcastes, Cadet Houses, Prasad, War in the West, Quick Characters, and player handouts.
Proofing:
Lunars: Fangs at the Gate: Lunars: Fangs at the Gate will lay out the Silver Pact, detailing prominent elders within the Pact as well as Lunar dominions under the Pact’s control, fully detailed settings ready to use in a character’s background or as adventure locations for the Storyteller. It will also provide comprehensive rules for Lunar shapeshifting, and a better-than-ever set of Lunar Charms. There’s also a variety of Martial Arts styles both new and classic, new sorcerous initiations and spells, moonsilver artifacts with Evocations, and stats for a plethora of animals into which Lunars can shapeshift. Development: Eric Minton and Robert Vance.

Hello Dragon-Backers,
I hope everyone is doing as well as possible and managing as best they can. I've enjoyed seeing everyone's reactions to our TWO PARTPREVIEW of Heirs to the Shogunate. I was already excited for that book, and even more so after reading the preview manuscript.
All dressed up, nowhere to go.

NOW ON KICKSTARTER - KNOCKING DOWN STRETCH GOALS
Welcome to the Future
As the third decade of the 21st century dawns, the Technocratic Union stands on the cutting edge of a future imperiled. As science and technology draw humanity closer than ever before, certain factions within the Masses display gross negligence, undermining the Union’s work and endangering the world for shortsighted gains. Despite global telecommunications, new frontiers in virtually every field of study, and an understanding of the universe only dreamed of by earlier generations, humanity faces threats on all sides.
Can You Save It?
Climate change threatens to destroy life as we know it. Religious fundamentalism breeds terror around the globe. Diseases, once eradicated in the developed world through vaccination, have returned due to antivaxxer movements. Totalitarian, nationalist governments rise as the Masses succumb to fear of the other. The world stands on the brink of destruction, and it is up to the agents and operatives of the Technocratic Union to save it…or be its ultimate destruction.
Technocracy Reloaded peels back the curtain and examines the role of the Technocracy in Mage 20th Anniversary Edition. The various Future Fates presented in Mage 20 are examined and this book introduces a few of its own. This book provides a detailed look at life within the Technocracy, expanded information on the Conventions, a wealth of equipment, Adjustments, and Procedures, a breakdown of the various shadow conspiracies and factions within the Technocratic Union, and tips for running your own Technocracy Chronicle.
Bonus Reward - Heirs to the Shogunate Preview Part 2

Hello Dragon-Backers,
It's been almost 2 weeks since we posted the first part of our preview of Heirs to the Shogunate. The past two weeks have already felt like the longest ever, but waiting for this second part has added even more anticipation to my daily schedule. But here we are!
Let me stress: this is a special in-progress preview of the unedited manuscript, and will still have the normal errata phase, so no need to point out typos or whatnot at this stage.
Again, huge thanks to Dixie and her crew for giving us this peek behind the curtains, and a special treat right when we need it. This is a bit outside of my usual procedure, so let's see if I get this to work...
I'm going to be distributing a link via BackerKit to all those who have Heirs to the Shogunate as part of their rewards list. You will receive an e-mail linking you to your Digital Rewards page in Backerkit, but just in case, you can always log in and check manually.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://what-fire-has-wrought.backerkit.com/faq
So, read some exalted, take a mental break and journey to the Blessed Isle, and I'll be back in a few weeks with our regular month end update.
Until then, stay safe and take care of each other.
Bonus Reward - Heirs to the Shogunate Preview Part 1

Hello Dragon-backers,
I know it's only been a few days since our last Month End update, and if you followed the link to the Monday Meeting notes, you'd see that Heirs to the Shogunate, our companion funded by your kickstarter support, is in the Development phase.
However, because Dixie Cochran, the in-house developer for Exalted, is awesome - I've been given a preview to share with you now!
James, with laundry to do.
I know that many of you are finding yourselves with extra time and likely extra stress, and this great hobby of ours is a nice change of pace and a good mental health break. Dixie worked with her creative team and the Onyx Path folks to put together this "in-progress" preview. Actually, this is just Preview Part 1... we'll have the second half of the book in a few more weeks, and I'll share that when I'm able.
Let me stress: this is a special in-progress preview of the unedited manuscript, and will still have the normal errata phase, so no need to point out typos or whatnot at this stage.
Again, huge thanks to Dixie and her crew for giving us this peek behind the curtains, and a special treat right when we need it. This is a bit outside of my usual procedure, so let's see if I get this to work...
