Exalted: Lunars & Beastmen

== Lunars ==
=== Mei Fang's Lunar Circle ===
Married in the past to, estranged in the present from, and perhaps betrothed in the future to, Dirty Bull Meng, Mei Fang has travelled all the way from Delzahn in pursuit of her beloved, in the process recruiting the Hyena-woman Horizon's Teeth from the Diamond Road and Tengese shapeshifter Gharial-who-lies-in-wait, to act as her Lunar Circle.
=== City-Swimmer and Dream Eater ===
Two Lunars who came with Mei Fang's circle from An Teng to act as their guides, Cassowary (AKA City-Swimmer) and his husband Moa (AKA Dream-Eater). The former a disguise artist and the latter a dream-manipulator, the two helped spy on the party before departing back to An Teng.
=== Unbreakable Coil ===
Under the guise of the village shaman, Unbreakable Coil - a New Moon Lunar Exalt & Serpent beastwoman - performs the rituals that keep Twelve-Pillar Village and its inhabitants safe. Has resided in the village for about 200 years... but to what end?
=== Gizu* ===
Leader of the team of Chameleon-men commandoes from the Caul dispatched along with their unnamed leader to help steer the Bronze Tide towards the Caul. Gizu and his men were ordered to terrorize the Nulbarans into fleeing their town so the Tide could take it without a fight, which Gizu accomplished by burning their fishing boats, setting fires in the town at night and dismembering a wagon of bodies being taken to the burial grounds. He poisoned Reeds with his blowpipe when he wandered off from the group and successfully stabbed him with his moonsilver knife before being defeated in combat by Daxi. Hissing a warning to the solars that the Nulbarans had 24 hours to leave the town, he shapeshifted into a snake and escaped into the undergrowth to join his fleeing men.

=== The Silver Wolves? ===
The fall of the First-Age city Njorlona during the Shogunate era seemed to have something to do with giant silver wolves, as seen by Nida Malek in his vision when he inherited the artefact bow Flight of Vesper-Gulls, and in the carvings on the mural-wall in the Guildhall of Ostia. Pelonus, prince consort of Ostia also mentioned that Anathema used to rule the southwest during that era - could the two be related?
== Beastmen ==
=== Daxi Ong Mao ===
Thief, businessman and Panda, Daxi Ong Mao is a member of the Solar Circle residing in Marrull Vaar.
=== Chiang Lao De ===
Panda who was a slave-gladiator on the Bronze Tide fleet. Previously from the same village as Daxi, the older Panda was bought and sold several times before ending up in the gladiatorial pits of the Mygdons, where Brasidus "fool that he was, bought me at the peak of my strength... it was all downhill from there." Eager to keep the warrior in fighting condition, Brasidus made Chiang wear a muzzle full of stimulants that drove the Panda berserk in battle but ravaged his already failing health. Now retired, Chiang is planning to seek out others of his kind, but considers himself indebted to his long-lost kinsman for freeing him.
=== MiMi ===
A Pandafolk slave of Chijun Zhou & Lin, she was bought as a cub (her name being taken from the squeaking noise cubs make for their mothers, akin to "mama") and raised to serve the family & act as nursemaid to their daughter Lin. Zhou had arranged to have her "mated" to Chiang Lao De in a business deal with King Brasidus, until the events of the war put it (and the money Zhou lost in the deal) to a permanent end.
=== Beastmen of Twelve Pillar Village===
* Watches-Night - a Cat-woman, chieftain of the tribe
* Plunging Feather - a Crow beastman who acts as the village's chief scout.
=== Chameleon-Men ===
Native to the Caul, these Chameleon-men were under the command of Gizu (who was a Lunar shapeshifter, rather than a beastman) and his master, having been brought to Baruntulga to assist in sabotaging and harassing the islanders into surrendering or fleeing their homes. They exhibited a surprising degree of technical knowledge, as they booby-trapped the road from Nulbaram to Ostia with turtle-shell landmines that detonated by mixing refined organic chemicals when the shells were punctured. When the Circle fought them in the jungle outside Nulbaram they ambushed the solars with smokebombs and poisoned darts as well, but even so found themselves outmatched, and were forced to retreat.
==== Anaxagoras* ====
A chameleon-man wounded in the ambush and taken back to Nulbaram by the Solars. Initially refusing to divulge any information, it was not until the solars prevented him from committing suicide by one of his own poison darts to evade what he expected would be torture that he loosened up. He was the one who mentioned that his squad were from the Caul, that they worked for an unnamed leader who was assisting the Tide, and that their goal was to steer them to the Caul to assist in the war for the Holy Land. He was released by Hephastia and Daxi to inform Gizu and the others that the Nulbarans would be leaving.
