Primordial

Primordials in Exalted are the original gods of creation, birthed from chaos and responsible for just about everything that came after them. They are inscrutable to the point of being Lovecraftian, and tend to focus on one concept to the exclusion of all else. To simplify it primordials are the ultimate munchkins. They're beings so hyper specialized that not only can they not perform tasks outside of their purview, they can't even understand them on a conceptual level.

Although they were originally all bros the primordial war split them into two groups. The collaborators (who got cake) and the loyalists (who got soul lobotomies).

Intact Primordials

Originally all the primordials were alive, but following the great war only two remain.

Gaia: Mother of creation. Being one of the few primordials with anything passing for empathy she wisely sat out the war and survived. Wandered off the edge of nowhere looking for answers and hasn't come back since.

Autochthon: The great maker. Got sick of his jerkass brothers and sisters wrecking his crap and sided with the humans (after operating on his fetich soul to install learning). Like the flatmate of a sociopath he got a little worried about sharing creation with the now triumphant (and cursed) exalted and decided to sleep outside. Currently has a terminal illness that runs around his body trying to murder the people living inside him.

Yozis

Malfeas, the Demon City: Former king of the Primordials. Even when he was intact he had problems wrapping his head around the concepts that other beings had opinions, or that he should care. Currently sewed inside his own stomach imprisoning his kin, he wants nothing more than to flip the proverbial board on creation and start over.

Cecelyne, the Endless Desert: One time head judge of the primordials and current insane desert, Cecelyne surrounds the Realm of Malfeas in an endless expanse. Her laws aren't as popular these days and mostly consist of "if you can kill it, then it belongs to you".

She Who Lives In Her Name, the Principle of Hierarchy: - She Who Lives was in charge of order and hierarchy back in the day, and recent events have only reinforced her longstanding belief that freedom is the problem with creation. She was only narrowly convinced to give her Yozis free will, and seeks to rectify the condition whenever and wherever she can.

Adorjan, the Silent Wind

The Ebon Dragon, the Shadow of All Things

Kimbery, the Sea That Marched Against the Flame

Cytherea, the Mother of Creation

Oramus, the Dragon Beyond the World

Isidoros, the Black Boar that Twists the Skies

Sacheverel, Who Knows the Shape of Things to Come

Hegra, the Typhoon of Nightmares

Elloge, the Sphere of Speech

Szoreny, the Silver Forest

Metagaos, the All Hunger

Neverborn

Those primordials who were deemed too dangerous even for imprisonment, and had every last one of their third circle souls (which comprise their consciousness) executed. Since primordials can't even conceive of death, let alone die, reality promptly shit a brick and jammed. Now they sit trapped between existence and nothingness, whispering to people about how they should really consider the merits of killing everything everywhere forever.

The Dragon That Was - What the fuck did you do? If this guy shows up in your campaign it means you killed the Ebon Dragon (somehow?). There's not much fluff on what this means, except that its guaranteed to be bad.

The Engine of Destruction - Similarly this is the result of what happens if you killed Autochthon, or let him die or whatever. Congratulations on turning one of the few benevolent cosmic entities in the game into the rape-o-matic 9000.
