Twilight Caste

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Twilight Caste is one of five castes of the Solar Exalted. First detailed in White Wolf's Exalted (ISBN 1-56504-623-4), and later expanded upon in its own supplement Caste Book: Twilight (ISBN 1-58846-661-2), the Twilight Caste is filled with the scholars, wizards, and craftsmen of the Solar Exalted. The other four castes are Dawn, Zenith, Night, and Eclipse.

[edit] Caste Mark

All Solar Exalted are marked on their forehead with a symbol representing their caste, called a "caste mark". The mark is normally invisible, but once the Exalted begins spending Essence, the magical building-block of Creation, the caste mark glows brightly to the extent that even covering it with layers of cloth will not hide the glory of the Unconquered Sun.

The mark of the Twilight Caste is a circle, closed on the top half and open on the bottom half.

[edit] Abilities

Members of the Twilight Caste are adept at searching and applying knowledge. They excel at learning Craft, Investigation, Lore, Medicine, and Occult.

Twilight Solars can also use their anima to reduce powerful and possibly deadly blow, or reduce a weaker attack to harmlessness.

You would enslave
these people with ignorance
and keep their minds small
and their lives miserable
in order to fatten
your own belly.

I cannot abide such wickedness
and come bearing the light
of learning for all
who wish to see.
