Exalted: Dreams of Exaltation - Setting: Loran

[Krul]

The Metropolis of Loran, a gloriously beautiful city of Moonsilver Domes and Spheres, connected by flexible tubular scaffolding. Rising in certain key points are Spires along which many oil diver's dock at, as it extends partway out from the pole of metal into the pole of oil. Loran is also, Exalted, capable of creating Avatars, and protecting her people, and for the last 500 years, the city herself has been the only Exalt of the nation of Loran. Only in the last hundred years has she at last advanced to essence 9, growing significantly as she did so.. and she has a present project of installing a new municipal charm, the Fluidic Traveling Metropolic Grand Impeller Drive, something she devised with considerable collaboration with her Tripartite Assembly. This will allow her to move from one location to a better one, with better resources, but it will take another decade, especially sense the project has been put on hold to build the gateway into creation.

Loren has avoided that final step to Clarity 10, holding around the 8-9 range, even as low as 7 at times. She doesn't avoid it out of fear, so much as out of a measure of compassion for her people, for in her day, she was a being of great compassion. She knows, has seen what clarity 10 means, and that all that will matter to her at that point, is the depth of her motivation, and her compassion is such that she believes that it is better for her people that she care for each group within her city.. while she still can.

Meanwhile, she waits and watches the new Alchemicals, hoping and believing that with them, she can at last turn her attention to full union with the Great Maker, and her motivation to become unique and mobile city upon the sea of oil, and turn the more physical and emotional needs of her people over to the new champions. She will find the existance of non-Alchemical Exalts interesting, especially lunars, sense she is Moonsilver herself.

The following is how Loran appears when she sends forth an avatar from her Avatar Launching Silo, or manifests an appearance at any of her Hologylphic Projection Station Nodes. It should be noted she is a living city, who possesses a number of defenses she can bring online when she needs too..
