SCROLL OF EXALTS
The Chosen of the Incarnae, the Dragons, the Neverborn, the Yozis and the Great Maker all strive to chart the
course of Creation. In their attempts, these Exalted heroes
often come into conflict or alliance. Within are to be found
examples of all seven sorts of Exalt, ranging from the ancient
Sidereal Chejop Kejak to the young Dragon-Blood Cathak
Meladus and all ages (and power levels) in between. Some aim
to destroy the world, while others strive to save it, but regardless of motive, the mover and shakers and the up and comers
alike are bound to come into contact with your characters.
Whether as friend or foe is up to you to determine.

Above all, however, the machine has no feelings, it feels no fear
and no hope... it operates according to the pure logic of probability.
For this reason I assert that the robot perceives more accurately
than man.
— Max Frisch, Homo Faber: A Report
Designed by the Machine God Autochthon as the
prototypes from which all other Exalted derive, the Alchemical Exalted were never actually built until the Great
Maker fled Creation. Now, these biomechanical Champions
serve and protect the millions of people who dwell within
Autochthon’s own body. Yet, as the Great Maker’s sickness
grows and the Void threatens to devour the Eight Nations,
his Chosen must fight ever harder to maintain their charges’
safety… and their own.
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Alchemicals
provides the rules and background to run a game that
focuses upon Alchemical Exalted characters or to design
such characters as allies or antagonists for other Exalted
games. The book’s contents are as follows:
14
Chapter One: The Alchemical Exalted
This chapter details the mechanical Champions of
Autochthonia, the Alchemical Exalted. It reveals the
methods by which a heroic soul is chosen for Exaltation and
a biomechanical body is constructed to house that soul by
the Five Sodalities. It also explores the ways in which the
Champions operate, their support structure in Autochthonia
and their need to find new sources of supplies to sustain the
Great Maker’s failing body.
Chapter Two: The Subgods of Autochthonia
This section is devoted to exploring the unique divinities of the Machine God, from the Eight Divine Ministers
down to the lowliest of fix beetles. Also featured are Autochthonia’s native elementals and the savage gremlins,
corrupted machine spirits indicative of the Great Maker’s
consuming sickness.
