These Exalts slew Primordials, built incredible wonders, and crafted an awe-inspiring society that endured for thousands of years.  \nAt the beginning of the Age of Sorrows, there are few--if any--Solars who can wield that sort of power. However, it is only a matter of time before the Chosen of the Sun unlock the powers of old. When they do, Creation will be shaken to its foundations. Will you be the ones to remake Creation in your own image?  \nHOW TO USE THIS BOOK  \nThis book is intended to provide you with thenecesssary tools to incorporate high Essence Solar Exalted and custom Charms into your game. Each chapter focuses on a different area, as explained below.  \nChapter One: Charm Design contains a set of guidelines and suggestions for designing Solar Charms, providing players and Storytellers with a framework to use for developing their own Charms, as well as describing the framework used to design the Charms presented in this book.  \nEXALTED • SOL INVICTUS  \nChapter Two: Expanded Charm Trees contains new Solar Charms for each ability, as well as alterations to make existing Charms more streamlined and consistent. These new Charms both expand the existing trees into currently under-represented areas, and extend them upwards in Essence and Ability minimums. In addition, this section contains discussions of the Charm design philosophies for each individual ability.  \nChapter Three: Storytelling provides guidelines and suggestions for incorporating high Essence Charms into your game, and options for playing Solars at a high power level in Exalted.  \nCHAPTER 1 • CHARM DESIGN  \nCHAPTER 1  \nCHARM DESIGN  \nCharms are more that just cool powers — they’re the ultimate expression of an Exalt’s personality and thematics. At the same time, they’re part of a complex interlocking system of abilities. With all this to keep in mind, it can be challenging to design good Charms.
