*** The Scarlet Empress/Queen/Phoenix and the Ebon Dragon - prominent in ''TabletopGame/KindredOfTheEast'', and, according to some subtle references in ''TabletopGame/DemonTheFallen'' and ''TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning'', they were the ''Hunter'' Messengers.
*** The Deathlords and the Neverborn - both prominent in ''TabletopGame/WraithTheOblivion'', though (typically) working on opposite sides of the divide there.
*** The Dragon Kings - remembered by the Mokolé from ''Werewolf''.
*** Autochthonia - one of the ''Mage'' Technocracy's favorite places.
*** In the optional metaplot of ''Return of The Scarlet Empress'', the Ebon Dragon creates an enormous infernal artifact. The name of this artifact: [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse the Black Spiral]].
** Although showing up much later, the Green Sun Princes use much of the same terminology as ''TabletopGame/DemonTheFallen'' (Torment, the names of their castes).
* In 1st Edition, the Neverborn were referred to as Malfeans (another term for them from ''TabletopGame/WraithTheOblivion''). This confused people, because you had dead Primordials called MALFEANS and imprisoned (but still very alive) Primordials who lived in MALFEAS. They dropped the Malfean term in 2nd Edition to avoid that confusion.
* A few NWOD-specific references have slipped in, too. For instance, the mortal creators of the Alchemicals are known as demiurges (the name for those mortals who create [[TabletopGame/PrometheanTheCreated Prometheans]]), and according to WordOfGod, the Liminal Exalted are inspired by ''Promethean''.
** The parallel groups were: Solar Exalted - ''TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning'', Lunar Exalted - ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'', Sidereal Exalted - ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'', Abyssal Exalted - ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'', Terrestrial Exalted - ''TabletopGame/KindredOfTheEast'', Fair Folk - ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming''.

Moved the Fan Nickname section from the Tropes A to H page.
Added DiffLines:
* FanNickname:
** Chejop Kejak: "Ketchup Carjack"
** The First and Forsaken Lion is more commonly referred to as the [=FaFL=].
** The Primordial She Who Lives in Her Name is almost universally referred to by her acronym, [=SWLiHN=]; one of the authors even bemoaned having to use her full name when writing ''Infernals'', since it wasted so much wordcount. And of course, many just call her [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=swillin Swillin']]
** Gazellecarp: The capstone charm of the Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style transforms your character into a serpentine chimera whose features include a head like a gazelle foal and multiple carp fins down the sides.
** [[http://meluran.deviantart.com/art/DEMETHEMANIA-comic-53379022 DEMETHEMANIA]]: Demetheus, a big, burly Dawn Caste fighter. In his back story, he wrestled giant lions with his bare hands and won; thus a {{Badass}} was born. He was also visibly inspired by The Rock.
** The signature Malefactor, wearer of the rather ''interesting'' take on a nun's habit, is referred to alternately as Hellnun or Bondage Nun. ([[AllThereInTheManual Her real name is Sulumor, by the way.]])
** "Her Redness" and "Big Red" for the Scarlet Empress.
** The Primordial Ramethus, who attacked in the Aftershock War (having optimized itself for combat), is frequently referred to (even by the game's freelance writers on the White Wolf forums) as Chungira: named after Jon Chung, who posts a lot about Exalted optimization.
** Even after receiving both a pre-ascension name (Sol Incarnate) and title of address (Ignis Divine, his equivalent of 'your majesty'), a large portion of the fan-base still prefers to call the Unconquered Sun "Sol Invictus." Even John Mørke has admitted to wanting to use the term, in spite of being forbidden from canonizing it (in Glories of the Most High: the Unconquered Sun). Some who favor it do so because a Latin name would help Sol fit in better with all the other Incarnae... others cite that as an excellent reason not to use it. The Sun does, after all, stand apart from the Moon and stars.
** The Unconquered Sun is also occasionally called "Conky."
** The complete loser of a Primordial known as The Ebon Dragon sometimes has his name shortened to TED.

* RunningTheAsylum: In a case of TropesAreNotBad, the addition of the Ink Monkeys and Errata Team Prime has lead to a general increase in the quality of the rules and has been very well received on the White Wolf forum (seriously, saying you dislike them is FandomHeresy there now)- but see also BrokenBase. They have their detractors, some of whom get as vehement as the fans.

* WordOfGod: One of each of the sample characters in the First Edition Castebooks is deliberately a depiction of what the Immaculate Order claims the Solar Exalted to be. Most of the time, it's fairly obvious, as they're either obviously evil (Havesh for Night, Fehim for Twilight), insane (Mirror Flag for Eclipse), or both (Looking at you, Dawn Caste Lyta.) The Blasphemous Zenith, on the other hand, is Wind, who is easily one of the kinder, more level-headed NPC's we've been shown...and he's also a former Immaculate Monk-turned-devout-sun-priest.

* ShoutOut: Lots. 1st Edition especially has a lot to the ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'' games, and there are shout-outs to pop culture and mythology all over.
** For example, the first place Desus was mentioned by name was in a myth where he [[http://historylink102.com/greece2/odysseus.htm treacherously blinded a one-eyed Behemoth]].
** The chapter 7 comic in the 2nd Edition Core book features an Abyssal talking to a skull who he calls [[WaitingForGodot Estragon. Subsequentally, he meets someone called Pozzo with his pet 'Lucky'.]]
** Each of the original five Exalted types is conceptually related to one ''Old World of Darkness'' game: Solars to ''TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning'', Terrestrials to ''TabletopGame/KindredOfTheEast'', Lunars to ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'', Sidereals to ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'', and Abyssals to ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade''.
** Even outside the above five correspondences, there are many game terms borrowed from the ''Old World of Darkness'' games. For example, the Green Sun Prince Castes share the names of the [[TabletopGame/DemonTheFallen Demon Houses]], save for the Devils and Devourers.
** [[KeychainOfCreation Elegant Nova Of Progression]] is an example of an Alchemical name in the new Alchemicals book. [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Bender Bending Rodriguez]] gets mentioned in the index.
** Another Alchemical shout-out is in the name of one of the nations. "[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour We have always been at war with Estasia]]."
** The index to ''Graceful Wicked Masques'' holds a number of sneaky references. For instance, "Bear-killer" (an actual title) is followed by "Pedobear-killer" (and instead of a page number, it says "4chan").
** The introductory comic for "Graceful Wicked Masques" features a Fair Folk cataphract named "Lan-Shoki Hana" with a mortal squire named "San-Xiao." If that doesn't ring any bells, Don Quixote's real name is "Alonso Quijano" and his squire is, of course, "Sancho."
** Gorol is one letter away from being the BigBad in the WraithTheOblivion endgame book (Gorool).
** Sacheverell is a Yozi that they keep asleep so as not to bind fate to his visions; the Red King is kept asleep in ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' to keep the world from falling apart. Oh, and his previous incarnation was The Lidless Eye That Sees. Imagine a [[Film/LordOfTheRings Visine commercial from Hell]].
** The First Age developer of Primordial Principle Emulation made it to tap into Kimbery's (a giant poisonous acid ocean) charmset because she couldn't learn/make new charms for her new body: a "cephalopod horror," Glories of the Most High tells us. The name of that Solar Queen? [[CthulhuMythos K'tula]].
** The Ebon Dragon's driving Urge, as revealed in ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'', is to turn the world into one where [[SamuraiJack his evil is law]].
** The section from ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'' about confronting the Ebon Dragon in direct combat is entitled [[DeadAleWives Attacking the Darkness]].
** After destroying the Omphalos in ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'', The Ebon Dragon has to create an N/A artifact to keep Creation from falling apart into the Wyld. The artifact in question is called [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse The Black Spiral.]]
** Many other scenarios are grouped with thematic names; the Metagalpa section has its acts titled after WWII films, and several scenarios find themselves named after JamesBond films.
** One of the possible campaign styles in Infernals was titled "[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto Grand Theft Yeddim]]."
** The Martial Arts supplement ''Scroll of the Monk'' contains a [[VideoGame/GodOfWar chain daiklave]], and the spread-the-water knife's illustration is not even trying to pretend it isn't a [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration bat'leth]].

* There is country in the East of Creation called the Republic of Chaya, where each and every single person is [[spoiler:'''''infested with magical nanites''''']]. And do you want to know what is even weirder than ''that''? The fact that [[spoiler:it's a ''real'' democracy, not a place where the Exalted rule from behind the scenes and let them mortals think that they have, but a real Republic... with the exception of the [[OddJobGods gods of those magical nanites]], who are the ones who set up the country's Constitution]].

* ShoutOut: Lots. 1st Edition especially has a lot to the ''TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness'' games, and there are shout-outs to pop culture and mythology all over.
** For example, the first place Desus was mentioned by name was in a myth where he [[http://historylink102.com/greece2/odysseus.htm treacherously blinded a one-eyed Behemoth]].
** The chapter 7 comic in the 2nd Edition Core book features an Abyssal talking to a skull who he calls [[WaitingForGodot Estragon. Subsequentally, he meets someone called Pozzo with his pet 'Lucky'.]]
** Each of the original five Exalted types is conceptually related to one ''Old World of Darkness'' game: Solars to ''TabletopGame/HunterTheReckoning'', Terrestrials to ''TabletopGame/KindredOfTheEast'', Lunars to ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'', Sidereals to ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'', and Abyssals to ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade''.
** Even outside the above five correspondences, there are many game terms borrowed from the ''Old World of Darkness'' games. For example, the Green Sun Prince Castes share the names of the [[TabletopGame/DemonTheFallen Demon Houses]], save for the Devils and Devourers.
** [[KeychainOfCreation Elegant Nova Of Progression]] is an example of an Alchemical name in the new Alchemicals book. [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Bender Bending Rodriguez]] gets mentioned in the index.
** Another Alchemical shout-out is in the name of one of the nations. "[[Literature/NineteenEightyFour We have always been at war with Estasia]]."
** The index to ''Graceful Wicked Masques'' holds a number of sneaky references. For instance, "Bear-killer" (an actual title) is followed by "Pedobear-killer" (and instead of a page number, it says "4chan").
** The introductory comic for "Graceful Wicked Masques" features a Fair Folk cataphract named "Lan-Shoki Hana" with a mortal squire named "San-Xiao." If that doesn't ring any bells, Don Quixote's real name is "Alonso Quijano" and his squire is, of course, "Sancho."
** Gorol is one letter away from being the BigBad in the WraithTheOblivion endgame book (Gorool).
** Sacheverell is a Yozi that they keep asleep so as not to bind fate to his visions; the Red King is kept asleep in ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' to keep the world from falling apart. Oh, and his previous incarnation was The Lidless Eye That Sees. Imagine a [[Film/LordOfTheRings Visine commercial from Hell]].
** The First Age developer of Primordial Principle Emulation made it to tap into Kimbery's (a giant poisonous acid ocean) charmset because she couldn't learn/make new charms for her new body: a "cephalopod horror," Glories of the Most High tells us. The name of that Solar Queen? [[CthulhuMythos K'tula]].
** The Ebon Dragon's driving Urge, as revealed in ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'', is to turn the world into one where [[SamuraiJack his evil is law]].
** The section from ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'' about confronting the Ebon Dragon in direct combat is entitled [[DeadAleWives Attacking the Darkness]].
** After destroying the Omphalos in ''Return of the Scarlet Empress'', The Ebon Dragon has to create an N/A artifact to keep Creation from falling apart into the Wyld. The artifact in question is called [[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse The Black Spiral.]]
** Many other scenarios are grouped with thematic names; the Metagalpa section has its acts titled after WWII films, and several scenarios find themselves named after JamesBond films.
** One of the possible campaign styles in Infernals was titled "[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto Grand Theft Yeddim]]."

* In First Edition, the Neverborn were referred to as Malfeans (another term for them from ''TabletopGame/WraithTheOblivion''). This confused people, because you had dead Primordials called MALFEANS and imprisoned (but still very alive) Primordials who lived in MALFEAS. They dropped the Malfean term in 2nd edition to avoid that confusion.
* A few NWOD references have slipped in, too. For instance, the mortal creators of the Alchemicals are known as demiurges (the name for those mortals who create [[TabletopGame/PrometheanTheCreated Prometheans]]), and according to WordOfGod, the Liminal Exalted are basically the Promethean Exalted.
