Book Description

Publication Date: May 27, 2009

A Guide to the Demon City
The fifth of five books dedicated to the supernatural locales of the Exalted setting, this supplement focuses on Malfeas, Hell of the Exalted world. Prison to the Yozis and their demon spawn, Malfeas is a twisted place formed from the very flesh of the defeated leader of the Primordials and containing the remainder of his vanquished cohorts. Imprisoned since the dawn of the First Age, these incomprehensible beings have bided their time, waiting for their chance to escape, claim vengeance on the gods and their champions and regain dominion over Creation. And with the birth of the Infernal Exalted and the corruption of the one who now leads them, that chance is now. Will Creation's Exalted be able to set aside their differences to end this threat, or will the akuma among them sabotage the Exalts' efforts from within?
A setting book for Exalted , Second Edition, featuring:
Details of numerous locales of the Demon City, many of which are living aspects of the Yozis themselves
A myriad of demonic luminaries and demon-beasts for use in any Exalted series
Everything players and Storytellers need to play series based in the prison of the damned

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally Well Written splat!, November 16, 2010

This review is from: The Compass of Celestial Directions, Vol. 5: Malfeas- A Setting Book For Exalted, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

This book consists of:

Chapter One: A History of Hell
Chapter Two: Life in Hell
Chapter Three: To Rule in Hell
Chapter Four: The Demon City
Chapter Five: The Damned

I quite enjoyed this book, as it described all the types of bizarre things I expected to find in Malfeas, but could not think of myself. My favourite chapter is the 5th one, as it describes many new 3rd circle demons and stats out many 2nd and 1st Circle demons. Particularly, Sondok, which is referred to in the Exalted Core 2E book, along with some 1E material (Caste Book: Night).

Overall, I feel with this book, I could take my Solar PCs there, or run an Infernal game with adequate descriptors of life in Malfeas. The art is also decent. 5 Stars for me.
