It probably wouldn't have that great of an effect; Creation's moon is probably smaller than Earth's. It'd just be like a big meteor, but very useful for taking out cities and mountains and so forth.
Someone'd have to really piss Luna off.
"You WHAT!?"
*bam!*

Granted my science kinda sucks, but I remember a few summers of giant meteor hits the earth! movies. Â That's gotta be really unpleasant for someone. Â And as an added irony, the dust that rises up from the catastrophe would blot out the sun and stars too. Â Did I miss any other celestial incarna?

Again, that's Earth, not Creation. A giant ball of rock hitting it isn't going to destroy Creation. It might crack a big hole down into the world of the Underbrood, or tear right through and leave a big huge patch of Wyld, but I don't think it'd blot out the sky or similar.
In fact, it'd probably end up a lot like the North Crater in Final Fantasy 7.

The whole origin of Primordials stems from this idea, where of the infinite possibilities that form and unform in the Wyld at least some of them will possess consciousness. Oddly, exactly the same random process creates the graces of the Fair Folk, so in many ways, the Primordials are just really powerful Fair Folk. Or, perhaps more correctly, agglutinations of many very powerful Fair Folk. In a weird way, that would mean that first circle demons are behemoths, of a sort.Kajata said:
Oh, also...
This actually isn't a problem. While Deathlords are outside fate, Abyssals are not. Neither are first circle demons. (See Sidereals, pg. 129).Solfi said:

Another epic plot source might be had from an idea that came up a while ago (either here or on the wiki), which connected the idea that there were 25 Yozis (I don't remember if that is even canonical) with their being 25 abilities in the Exalted rules.
The context of the discussion was that the ability changes between 1st and 2nd editions were not arbitrary rules change, but actually due to a change in Primordial politics that actually made Creation work differently. That is, whatever Yozi was attached to Brawl got "eaten" by the Martial Arts Yozi, and Integrity sprang from nothingness (or perhaps the shattered pieces of the Brawl and Endurance).
One of the ramifications of this idea is that, prior to the war, there used to be many more abilities, which started disappearing from Creation as some Primordials were killed. This provides an interesting explanation of why the gods were interested in a truce with the Primoridals, instead of just continuing to kill them all.

Now that I think of, it, actualy, "Moon crashes on Creation" could be a lot like Majora's Mask...

How about a Creation wide battle as the fractured Realm falls on itself and the leaders of each House fight to rule the remains of the Realm.  Each Ruler of each Metropolis tries to consolidate the lands around them and Creation falls into a violent Feudalism.
Adding into this, with the Defenses of the Realm down and the Legions warring amongst themselves, all manner of beasts begin to rampage Creation.  The Lunars begin their attack on the civilized areas, decimating the outlying areas of the Threshold countries.  The Fair Folk create dozens or hundreds of various draconic beings and lesser behemoths capable of leading their armies so that most of them are safely at the edge of Creation watching the world fall to chaos.
And rumors begin floating around of the Heroes of Creation returning and the madness that caused their fall, but a cure is also rumored to be hidden in the secrets of the past, found too late to save the Heroes, but now it may cure them all.
On the last part, I was thinking of an Exalt that went infernal and turned traitor on a hidden group of Exalts, slaughtering them all and claiming their souls for the Malfeans, for a cure to the curse, but he had his memory wiped and didn't know of the capabilities of the object he possessed (or still possesses), thinking it is nothing more than an Essence Containing Gem with other odd powers (or whatever). Â Placing the Gem into a Manse that is specially created to magnify the object's power would spread the cure over Creation, blocking the Limit Break from accruing (this Manse hasn't been made yet, but would need to be put at the Pole of Earth to cover all of Creation, AKA Meru).
