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.
