Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Once the abode of the gods and home to the Old Realm's Lawgivers and their Lunar consorts, the Blessed Isle is now the center of the Creation-spanning Scarlet Empire, ruled by the Empress and her Terrestrial Exalted children. Spared the worst of the Contagion, the Fair Folk invasion that followed and the centuries of conflict and want that reduced the rest of the world to barbarism and savagery, the Isle remains the jewel or Creation.
But now, the architect of the Blessed Isle's long peace, the Scarlet Empress, has vanished. With no clear heir, the Great Houses gird themselves for civil war. On top of that, the long-forgotten Lawgivers have returned to claim dominion over Creation. Will the Blessed Isle's tranquility be shattered at last, or is there still some way to shield Creation's heart from the Time of Tumult?
The very first of five Celestial Direction books devoted to fleshing out the bare bones of Creation's supernatural locales presented in the Exalted core book, this book includes:
* Mass combat traits for the Realm's Imperial Army, from the standard heavy infantry to the cutthroats of the Vermilion Legion, as well as dominion traits for the Mandate of Heaven
* Traits for the Blessed Isle's native gods and beasts
The Compass of Celestial Directions Vol.1: The Blessed Isle is a supplement for Exalted Second Edition.

A book with lots of useful information, of which about two thirds can be found in a more generalized form in the Dragon-Blooded book, or even the Core book. We do get a lot more detail about certain locations, and the description of the Imperial Mountain was particularly intriguing. My game will have to visit the lost capital of Meru now.
In general, I'd recommend this book if your campaign is going to the Blessed Isle for a long time (read: focused on it), and then only for Storytellers, as any necessary info for playing a Dynast or Lookshy PC can be gleaned from the Dragon-blooded book.

I find the material in here greatly surpasses the original Realm material in the very first edition "Exalted: the Dragon-Blooded". Foe me, the Realm is a much more real, living, breathing place. Between this and "Manual of Exalted Power, the Dragon-Blooded", we much more of Dragon-Blooded and Realm society. I even have some sympathy for the Dragon-Blooded, in that they are acting in accord with deep-seated beliefs in what they believe to be the best interest of all Creation.
