Wasn't the whole point of the Exalted that the US *could not* slay the
Primordials, tho? He came in all big and bad...AFTER they'd already
surrendered.

Source, please? I know their servants are, but who said anything about
them attacking the Celestines? They're running amok through the
streets of Yu-Shan.
Hmm, I wonder if the US is vunerable to high-level Necromancy?

Reference for that, please? Incidentally, does Fate prediction
actually work *in* Yu-Shan? I don't recall any word on that
subject...Good point about the Maiden of Secrets, tho this might just
mean that they'd attempt to take her out first...Hmm, a plan is
forming...^^

Hmm, which leads to another possible theory of how Creation might
Change to become the WoD. After all, there is no Unconquered Sun in
the WoD, but there is Helios...
Also, your earlier question raises an interesting point: Do the gods
still have their inbuilt prohibition against attacking the
Primordials? Does this extend to the Primordials' modern forms as
Malfeans and Yozis?
