* '''[[Eccelsi Terrestri]]''': Noti anche come '''Stirpe del Drago''' poiché son i '''Prediletti dei cinque draghi elementali'''. Nella Prima era componevano le truppe d'elite e i servitori degli altri Eccelsi. Nonostante siano meno potenti degli altri eccelsi, essi guadagno i loro poteri in via ereditaria - piuttosto che esser scelti da un Dio, la Stirpe del Drago han una certa probabilità di passar l'Esaltazione ai propri figli, nonostante vi siano casi di Esaltazione in famiglie senza antenati Eccelsi. Queste Stirpi del Drago son normalmente conosciuti come Uova Perdute. La Stirpe del Drago non sono limitati da un dato ammontare di 'Essenza d'Eccelsi', come gli Eccelsi Celestiali, come prova il loro numero della prima era, che si aggirava intorno alle diecimila unità. A causa di ciò, sono di gran lunga i più numerosi degli Eccelsi e furono capci di usurpare il potere dei Solari al culmine del loro potere con l'aiuto dei Siderali, ponendo fine alla Prima Era.

La maggior parte della Stirpe del Drago compone la classe dominante dei Reami, il più potente impero della Creazione. La religione di stato, nota come l'Ordine Immacolato, dipinge i Solari e i Lunari come pericolosi Anatema che porteranno distruzione nel mondo con la loro sola esistenza. A causa di ciò il Reame organizza le caccie nel Wild, durante le quali si cercano attivamente gli eccelsi appena esaltati e li si uccide prima che impaiano a gestir i loro nuovi poteri.

<!--The majority of the Dragon-Blooded in Creation make up the ruling class of the Realm, the most powerful empire in Creation. The state-sanctioned faith, known as the Immaculate Order, paints the Solar and Lunar Exalted as dangerous Anathema who will bring ruin to the world if allowed to exist. Because of this, the Realm organizes the Wyld Hunt, which actively seeks out newly Exalted Celestial Exalted (Solars and Lunars, although they also hunt Abyssals and God-Blooded) and overwhelms them before they can master their new powers. This practice, which had effectively kept the Solars from rising to power again since the end of the First Age, has faltered lately because of the recent disappearance of the Scarlet Empress, the absolute monarch of the Realm, and the stability and leadership that she was able to bring to the Dragon-Blooded. The mad rush by the great Dragon-Blooded houses to fill the resulting power vacuum has destabilized the Scarlet Empire and allowed the Solar Exalted to escape the purges of the Wyld Hunt and rise in Creation once more. The greatest advantages of the Dragon-Blooded are the considerable resources granted to them by their noble status and their ability to work cooperatively with each other to create greater effects with their Essence. There are five elemental aspects to the Dragon-Blooded: '''Air''' (also known as the Azure Children of Mela), '''Earth''' (also known as the Ivory Children of Pasiap), '''Fire''' (also known as the Scarlet Offspring of Hesiesh), '''Water''' (also known as the Ebon Offspring of Daana'd) and '''Wood''' (also known as the Verdant Children of Sextes Jylis). The ruling Dragon-Blooded of the Realm are made up of the '''Eleven Great Houses''', which in turn were formed by the scions of the '''Scarlet Empress''' herself. The houses are as follows: House V'Neef (Wood), House Ragara (Earth), House Cynis (Wood), House Cathak (Fire), House Nellens (which has no dominant Aspect), House Tepet (Air), House Mnemon (Earth), House Sesus (Fire), House Iselsi (Water), House Ledaal (Air) and House Peleps (Water).

*'''[[Alchemical Exalted]]''': These Exalted are constructs built in the world of '''Autochthonia''' - in essence, android creations made from clay and the '''[[Five Magical Materials]]'''. They are infused with the Souls of dead Autochthonian heroes and serve Autochthon, the Great Maker, directly. Autochthon himself is one of only two primoridals that was not imprisioned or killed. They serve as protectors of the inhabitants of a parallel world made up of the body of Autochthon himself, and enforce the will of the '''Tripartite''', the theocratic government of this world. They define themselves into castes according to which material was mainly used in their construction. The Alchemical Exalted are a newer breed of Exalted, possibly an improvement over the other types, as Autochthon created them after he had left Creation. Instead of wielding essence directly and using their charms in a "magical" fashion like other Exalted do, the Alchemicals have charms "installed" like peripheral parts and fuel these machine implants with essence from their own bodies. The Alchemical Exalted are latecomers to the game; they are the only type of playable characters besides the Dragon Kings that were invented after the core rulebook was released.
