Editing Exalted (section)

==Relationship with the World of Darkness==
Exalted is not part of the [[World of Darkness]], but parts of it were conceived as a mythical prequel to the old WoD before that was moved away from. All of the major forces and types of Exalted have a less-epic equivalent in the WoD lines.

Indeed, Exalted actually was intended to be a kind of, sort of, maybe prehistory to the old World of Darkness, as evidenced by the 1st edition corebook and the Storyteller's Companion (which even referenced one of the Yozi's component souls being slain and reborn as Anthelios from Werewolf the Apocalypse), as well as numerous shout-outs from Hunter and Mage (which even directly name dropped Chejop Kejack). The unholy couple that is the Ebon Dragon and the Scarlet Empress show up in [[Kindred of the East]]. They are less evil there, which makes you wonder just what went down to mellow out the concept of dickishness incarnate.

This was removed before 1st edition was released, though the references still are there. By 2nd edition and beyond, the references were fully removed from the game.
