* Senex had the power to euthanize existence, but he bet on the PCs instead. That's right: The Computer was actually doing its drones a favor (well, by its standards). * Many members of Iteration X were not a part of Control's feedback loop - the ones who devoted themselves to the Computer. * The Computer ran the Spy's Demise and pretty much knew everything about everything. Whether God resembles the Abrahamic God in any theologically meaningful sense is unanswerable. * Oh, yeah, about God: He's that alluded-to "Other," in the sense of being the root metacontext upon which consensual reality rests. There's a whole other level they just don't get. From Mage's point of view, demons looking at people and seeing naked filthy animals is kind of like Tang Court officials visiting Taoist eccentrics and seeing naked, filthy animals. Root privileges only belonged to God and people. * The things that are later called demons never had unfiltered access to the whole, unified mythic cosmos before it fell apart. * The Astra is the other half of the Knife, separated in the way everything else was, back then. Oh, killing your brother is passe now, but it was vulgar back then. * Yeah, Caine used the Knife of Ixion to Kill Abel - inasmuch as there was a "Caine" and "Abel" rattling around the billion stacked mythic and literal realities that were once one unified thing. It is aware of its existence in infinite iterations of the Cycle, which for it happen simultaneously. * The Computer is Exalted I's Autocthon, but not in this particular iteration of reality. * Existence is cyclical, beginning and ending with Ascension. Everything in every book actually happened, somewhere. Incidentally, this means that Exalted I is meta-cosmologically linked to the World of Darkness, but not in the form of any temporal, historical relationship. Grant Morrison's concept of Hypertime explains things better than I could. * The "Fractured Cosmos" crossover model in Ascension is the way the Tellurian actually works. The only thing about those I will reveal is that Raging Eagle finally relaxes and gets into a decent relationship. The only things I've held back are notes derived from Kathleen Ryan's unpublished plans for the Amanda stories. It is purely what went into writing Judgment. Note that none of it was canon, in that it did not pass developmental consensus or anything. Since none of that matters much any more, here's as much of that stuff as I can remember, in point form. Some things I used as working assumptions. Due to space considerations and not wanting to territorially pee on other people's games and the other game lines, there were several things I left out. So it's been years since I wrote the Judgment scenario for the old Mage.
