History WMG / TheWorldOfDarkness

The Year of Fire was caused by LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya having a bad day. After TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, she decided to try creating a new one.

* If that were the fundamental praxis at all in two out of three worlds, you would have a point. [[CriticalResearchFailure It is not]] (the New World of Darkness is our world, only darker and stranger-things rapidly changing for better or worse is a part of the whole picture, and Exalted's "consequences matter" [[HopeBringer swings both ways]] and of course the very notion of consequences conflicts with the WMG), so this is long Jossed from a narrative point of view.

* Cherion Group's board of directors are a coterie of Tzimsice ''antitribu'' who have not taken up a Path of Enlightenment and thus cleave to a more human idea of transcendence. Thus, their Vicissitude is less horrifying and more directly beneficial to their subjects, and they've taught a little of it to their ghouls, the Cheiron Thuamatech doctors. As of modern times, they finally feel that they have a strong enough foothold and favorable ideological environment to begin Embracing of promising neonates, such as their more clever Hunters.

...and sequentially. The timeline is in fact a StableTimeLoop, but small variations in one loop echo out, causing the next loop to have significant differences (Changelings and Wraiths swapping demeanor, for example, or the regularization of how magical powers worked). Exalted sits many loops before, and many loops behind the Worlds of Darkness, which sit pretty close to each other, close enough to be recognizable. The various world-ending events at the end of [=OWoD=] were actually just echoes of the strange and bizarre events of all the other loops, as time and space began to destabilize and reset back to prehistory. This looping only serves to reinforce the basic rule of the World of Darkness: Nothing you do matters, because some bigger force wipes it away later, from a more powerful creature to the very fabric of reality.

[[WMG: The Weaver in ''[[TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse W:TA]]'' is The Grandmother in ''TabletopGame/{{Orpheus}}'']]
She went for the Underworld in an attempt to calcify another source of entropy, where the Wyrm put up a good fight, taking over the Spectre {{hivemind}} was all too easy.
