Supernal Starfruit, Pure Persimmons, and Azure Flowering Apples.  The trees blossom and produce fruit in every season save Calibration, when the leaves fall and they stand barren.  Consuming a whole fruit satisfies hunger and gives whatever eats it enough nutrition and energy for a day.  In addition, for mortals, they allow the healing of injuries as an Exalt.  For Exalts, eating a fruit allows them to recover Essence that day as though they were resting, regardless of what they actually do.  The fruits have a further secret.  Eating one of each every day for a year allows a mortal to make a Stamina+Willpower roll (3); success means that they Awaken their Essence, if they fail, the mortal transforms into a new tree.  An Exalt that eats one of each fruit every day for a year finds their Essence more easy to refine, reducing the cost of increasing Permanent Essence by 1 multiple (i.e. Essencex7 for Solars rather than Essence x8).  Missing a single day resets the count.  The Manse does not provide a Hearthstone, as that power is spread throughout the grounds and the fruit trees.</div></div><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Thing – <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Hate Cats</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://i.redd.it/vwftho95qel61.png)</div> Hate Cats are a reminder that it wasn’t just First Age Solars who were mad or made custom life forms.  An Ancient Lunar (who did use their Solar mate’s technology) created these creatures as a conservation effort to keep certain natural areas pure and untouched by humanity.  Or any sentient beings.  Hate Cats are a combination of big cat and serpent, their front half being like a saber-toothed tiger and their rear anywhere from 12 to 30 feet of powerful snake, their bodies scaly and strong, with huge and bulging eyes, and a serpent’s tongue.  They are swift on the ground, can climb easily up most surfaces, and leap surprising distances.  Their claws and teeth are hard and strong, capable of injuring even people in armor.  Hate Cats would be dangerous enough predators but they are particularly dangerous to sentient beings.  Hate Cats can detect sentient minds within 100 yards of themselves and upon sensing such minds, they begin a psychic assault by projecting an endless scream of hate, rage, and pain into people’s minds.  Usually undetected, the attack takes most by surprise and incapacitates or at the least distracts them, which is when the Hate Cat will strike to kill anyone it can.  They are predators and so will not stand and fight a group but will use their power on as many at once as they can and pick off one or two, taking a body to feed on if possible, and returning to hunt the others later.  They do not mate but self-procreate upon reaching adulthood by laying a single fertilized egg each year.  Hate Cats will not immediately target Lunar Exalted due to programming from their creation, but all other sentient beings are fair game.  While they are cunning, the presence of sentient minds around them for too long can cause them to go berserk and attack madly while broadcasting their psychic blast of hate.  <br/></div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>These all look fine. Do you have a particular region in mind for the cats? I'm guessing the more forested areas?
