Yesterday, I got the newly released "Compass of Celestial Directions II: The Wyld" for Exalted, and I can strongly recommend it to anyone interesting in having a different kind of chaos in his campaign.
In the world of Exalted, the material world is nothing more than an artificial island of stability within an infinite sea of rolling chaos. And in the boundary areas, the chaos gradually seeps into the world, creating places where the rules of Creation gradually break down. Here, you can have stone lions, creatures that result from the mating of a lion with a stone. Here, travel distances are not measured in miles, but in waypoints - places where you experience something significant. The number of events and encounters literally measures your progress to your destination. Here, the Fair Folk rule, creatures that feed on the passion of mortals and forever imitate the things and beings of Creation, for they have no creativity of their own.
There's too much packed into this book to cover it in detail. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend to anyone who is interested in a new kind of planar setup...
