Editing Exarch (section)

==MTAw==
In [[Mage: The Awakening]], Exarchs are the God-Tyrants of reality, mages from the Time Before who ascended to the Supernal Realms through the Celestial Ladder and kicked the Old Gods out and installed themselves as its rulers, becoming symbols of human oppression and control. There are ten major Exarchs, or Iron Seals, along with an unknown number of minor Exarchs. The big 10 are:

*'''The Chancellor:''' Exarch of Matter, the Iron Seal of the commodification of all things and beings.
*'''The Eye:''' Exarch of Space, the Iron Seal of scrutiny by authority and authority through surveillance.
*'''The Father:''' Exarch of Prime, the Iron Seal of blind faith and obedience to rules and commandments in all forms.
*'''The General:''' Exarch of Forces, the Iron Seal of might makes right and division by bloodshed.
*'''The Nemesis:''' Exarch of Spirit, the Iron Seal of unintended consequences and fear of your life being determined by forces you cannot comprehend.
*'''The Prophet:''' Exarch of Time, the Iron Seal of hopelessness in face of progress and the Great Man Theory.
*'''The Psychopomp:''' Exarch of Death, the Iron Seal of the fear of death and the idea of only the elect being able to enter heaven.
*'''The Raptor:''' Exarch of Life, the Iron Seal of the laws of nature and giving ones self to ones instincts.
*'''The Ruin:''' Exarch of Fate, the Iron Seal of control through hopelessness, cynicism, and decay.
*'''The Unity:''' Exarch of Mind, the Iron Seal of uniformity and conformity, and fear of the other.

From the minor Exarchs, only three are believed to be their own beings, with rest being just alternate translations of aliases for the big 10. These are:

*'''The Gate:''' Exarch of Paradox and the Abyss. The Iron Seal none of the others like and are clear that following the Gate is reason enough for execution.
*'''The Progenitor:''' Ascended servant of the Eye, was rewarded with Ascension after creating the Hive Soul servitors for the Exarch.
*'''The Rani:''' Another ascended seer, this one being a reference to former line developer Dave Brookshaws own games.
