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

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...

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

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

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. Our heroes have succeeded in eliminating Prasad's famed jade stores, taking their big red button off the table. Now they just have to get out alive so they can get around to saving all of Creation.

With all the chaos from the rapidly expanding shadowland from their escape from Fallen Star, the Circle has the perfect opportunity to break into the crown jewel of Prasad's most key holding: their literal mountain of jade. Even with the majority of Dragonbloods being distracted with the new rift in the Underworld covering a quarter of their capitol, their infamous surplus of one of the magical materials is not completely unguarded.

In the Underworld, at the borders of Kamthahar, a horrifyingly dangerous faceoff is taking place. With each side having one cataclysmically powerful spell charged up, the Circle must walk a tightrope to see tomorrow, much less the end of their Prasadi sabotage campaign. That Eclipse truce field has workarounds, after all: the clock ticks on, in more ways than one...

The Circle makes a move on Shrike's holdout in Kamthahar, wisely calling that the secret Abyssal is unwise to leave alone in the midst of all of their gurellia efforts against Prasad. Except...that holdout is more of...a stronghold. A Void Circle necromancy construct just...showed up in the Kamthahari Underworld mirror, a manifestation of imperial sins come home to roost.

It turns out that it's the end of Descending Wood when the Circle got to Prasad, which means it's time for a very unusually...sensual festival! As our heroes scamper around Kamthahar for intel to begin their raid on the Dragonblooded kingdom's jade reserves, they realize that Shrike's background plans are more immediately dangerous than they assumed. Lythander seduces a very legitimate shopkeeper (no, not like that) to trade favors (again, not like that) for Artifacts that definitely aren't

As our Circle moves in on their sabotage route towards Kamthahar, the heavy hitters of the Sidereal Host are still here. Not just for our heroes, mind: Shrike is planning something disastrous, and that's not even getting into what the Prasadi are trying to pull to safeguard their colonialist interests. Can the Ashen Ones secure the path to their dreams and defang the dragon? More importantly, can they live with any of the prospective fallout? Aura receives a guaranteed golden ticket towards

Once more, Exalts clash against Exalts, and our plucky Circle clashes against a rival Circle. Both of them doing what they think is the right thing. But with Shrike's machinations in the background, and with Shepherd and Galik's real goals, there's more to this confrontation than it seems, naturally...

Even with Ivory Edge's ambush thwarted and Rohavin's As In The Beginning blast pushed back, the Circle has yet to deal with their Prasadi nemeses' contingency plans. They did not summon a Second Circle Demon without a Plan B to keep them in check. And, with as close a victory as our heroes had last time, Prasad is not going to let them recover in time before their next offensive.

One planned, at the court of Blood Nail to gather allies and use Somnia's dreamwalking to spy on their foes and plan an opening strike. The rest of them...not planned at all. The Sidereal's curse on Spider is not so easily broken, and Prasad's borrowed Second Circle Sorcerers are bringing in a big problem of their own.

As FateBreakers begins its final act, so too does the Circle begin their counter-attack on the Empire of Prasad. After an all too brief respite and triage from fending off that devil star and her Sidereal handler, our heroes address Madara and the Tiger's Nest Coalition to chose targets and onboard further allies. Including a faction from undersea with close ties to former ally Mind-Over-Body Orator. But are he, and they, really still allies? Or do they have more...broadly destructive ulterior

One of the infamous devil stars is loosed from their prison, the ultimate desperation move from Prasad to quash the Ashen Ones' advance before they can break their hold on Madara.

Not that it'll be easy, given the gaggle of Dragonblooded officers protecting it, as well as the Dragon King merged with a potent war god. And, of course, the Sidereals are here.

Getting there isn't the hard part, after escaping She Who Lives In Her Name's vengeful worldbody and hopping back into Creation. The hard part is that Prasad already has feelers out: even unaware of the extent of the Ashen Ones' victory over the Wyld Hunt, a polity with thousands of Dragonbloods and divine backers at their disposal have a wide reach.
