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 elite guard, the vengeful Iselsi agent, Lythander's vengeful Solar ex, Lythander's morally dubious Liminal daughter, Mobo's stubborn defense of his city hijacking scheme, and whatever Joktan is trying to do. And even with most of her Deathknights compromised or breaking ranks, Final Glimmer of Fallen star is far from without aces up her sleeves...   Not everyone is going to be walking away from this battle. Exalted heroes will perish, armies will fall, and the immortal city itself begins to bleed and splinter. An armageddon across realities. The greatest threat Creation has ever known. The Loom of Doom sparks to life...   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!

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 and sunder it before it can begin its dread work. By far the most daunting task our heroes have faced this whole chronicle: an entire army and a larger enemy Circle stand in their way.   Will Lythander reunite with his estranged Liminal partial-daughter, and if so, will they reconcile...or will family drama tear them apart? Will Gavel lead her people to victory against the forces of darkness...or go past them and bring war to Heaven's gates? Will Aura find the absolution she so desperately craves, and break this cursed city once and for all? This is it!

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 eternal nightmare that's been looming over this whole story.    Aura puts the last puzzle piece in the enemy Circle's plot, and finally finds a rival ranged martial art school to her own! Lythander treats his biggest patient yet, and closes in on his personal nemesis and terrible partner to his daughter Stinger! Gavel marches the Ashen Ones on their biggest challenge yet, and uncovers the true scope of the El Dorado invasion and its tangled web of Charms and motivations! The final act of the final act!

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 wellspring to plan a counterattack? And, if they do win, will losses from this current struggle be too great a cost to bear?   Gavel gets another chance to use Total Annihilation: it...doesn't go as planned! At all! Lythander finally cracks the Void Circle of Necromancy, to painful and highly useful results! Aura gets spaghettified and butts heads with Nue on who should play bait to pincer this titan properly! Final Glimmer of Fallen Stars finally gets to show off why she's the final boss!

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...   Gavel stands up for her troops against an enemy greater than even the Deathlords themselves, and finds herself at odds with Ululaya over a serious clash with some of the Ashen Ones' priorities! Lythander pits his trickster skills against the ultimate foe he can face: an even better con artist than him! Also his heart stops beating! Several times! Aura receives a direct missive from the Unconquered Sun himself on an enemy to ward Creation from at all costs, and has to figure out which of a half-dozen apocalyptic visitors her boss meant! And that's just the core cast: the assorted viewers from afar all have their own agendas, and our heroes have their work cut out for them navigating all this! All while trying to jump that new Hearteater too!   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!

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...   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!

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 up to. Both here, and within other conjoined realms...   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!

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 Heshiesh himself is at the very top of it! Can our heroes get what they need while keeping both the Pole and themselves in one piece?   Terrifyingly, Lythander has to be the adult in the room for once, and with that comes an adruous task: meal prep! Gavel almost melts, and advises Sky on picking and choosing battles against Heaven and the Underworld! Aura communes with Big Fire himself, and has a very tense conversation with both Abyssals present on escaping this powder keg (literally) alive! Bhakari learns the truth about "anathema" and steps on a ton of social land mines all at once! And Sky makes her fateful decision on the designs of her new world, and on if now if the right time to betray her Deathlord...   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!

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 summoning and warstrider repair chief among them... Gavel makes her choice on which of the Unquestionables to summon, and considers one final bargian from Meteor to spare the Sidereal's life...with a particularly juicy carrot dangled in front of her!

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.

Lythander defends his title as Creation's strongest (living) necromancer and considers the much more daunting task ahead of him: mentoring a disaffected young trans Lunar punk! Meteor pulls out all the stops in using her Sidereal Martial Arts to try and finish the Circle off! This isn't a fight everyone will walk away from in one piece: this is how the penultimate act ends, with several large bangs!   This is an Actual Play of Exalted Essence, the classic high-fantasy high-powered TTRPG, using the new Essence ruleset!
