How does Exalteds metaplot work?
Exalted sort of has a metaplot, but it doesn’t really advance in a linear way like that of WoD games. Right now, it seems like all canonical information takes place in the same “now,” and that major events (such as Autochthonia invading Creation, Yurgen Kaneko taking over the North, Gem losing a trade war with Paragon, some super-powered yahoo named Yushuv going around kicking butt, and so forth) take place in different futures which are left completely up to Storyteller discretion. The stated purpose of this is to enable players’ characters to have a strong impact on the setting in their own games without contradicting canon.
