Creation is, if anything, not balkanised enough.Sure, they SAY in the core book that the Threshold and the Scavenger Lands are full of petty kingdoms, city-states and tributary nations to the Realm, but little else in the line supports that feel. Instead, what information you have is for the Realm, which is a gigantic island fleshed out in excruciating detail; Halta, which is a gigantic empire in the NE; Lintha, which is another gigantic region in the SW; etc.WW's schtick when it comes to locale books appears to be to take a locale and flesh it out to the Nth degree. This is great when a campaign has limited geographical scope, so you're likely to spend most or all of your time in one city or country or whatever. For something like Exalted, however, where Creation-spanning adventures are quite within the scope of the game, it does little to engender a feeling of a variegated, chaotic, disorganised world. Surely not all kingdoms are the size of Halta, or all pirate fleets as big as those of Lintha.</blockquote>
