Sidereal Exalted

ORGANIZATION CHART NOT AVAILABLE
The Sidereal Exalted don’t exist. Long ago they removed themselves from the world of men and the courts of the little gods, erasing the record and memory of their passing. When someone turns up an ancient manuscript mentioning the Sidereal Exalted, it vanishes soon after. When rumors spring up mentioning the Sidereal Exalted, the details twist and change until nothing is certain.
Once, so the legends and whispered conspiracies go, the Sidereal Exalted were the loyal seers, mentors, and advisors of the Solar Exalted. Then they betrayed their lords, vanished into legend, and became hidden puppeteers pulling the strings of destiny and history. But now the Sidereals’ pawns run amok, and the Solar Exalted have returned from their deathly exile. The Sidereals must emerge into the open once again if they are to tame a world sliding into chaos.
Solars tend to have an average lifespan of 3500-5000 years. Life-extending magic which benefits other Exalted seems curiously ineffective on the Maidens' Chosen.
The Sidereal Castes
Rumor has it that each Sidereal belongs to one of the five Maidens of Destiny, focusing on that goddess’s domain as part of the greater task of tending to fate.

Chosen of Journeys: Set on the path of Mercury, these Sidereals concern themselves with travelers, roads, paths, and movements of people and forces throughout the world, ensuring that all things arrive in their proper places at the proper times.

Chosen of Serenity: Celebrants of the ways of Venus, these Sidereals ensure that love, marriage, and joy bind together those things which must be bound together, or cleave apart those things that must be set apart.

Chosen of Battles: Militants under the banner of Mars, these Sidereals oversee the march of armies, the swirl of conflict, and the outcome of wars, ensuring that all bloodshed furthers the needs of the world.

Chosen of Secrets: Sworn to the silence of Jupiter, these Sidereals keep destiny’s secrets from the eyes of men and gods alike, allowing that which is hidden to come to light only in the moment when destiny demands it be so.

Chosen of Endings: Harbingers of Saturn’s quiet footsteps, these mournful Sidereals ensure that all things end when their fated hour arrives—be they lives, nations, or even the vast sweep of an age.
