From the introduction: In a time before time, the titans that made the world of Creation were overthrown by the might of great heroes known as the Exalted in a war that shook the very foundation of this world. Standing at the head of this army of heroes were the Solar Exalted, the generals and leaders who embodied the perfection of the Unconquered Sun, who in turn stood above all other Gods. But in their dying moments, these titanic Primordials would curse all Exalts to fall into madness and hubris, a curse that fell on deaf ears and would remain unknown to this very day.
