So, that Exalted + Mass Effect on White Wolf got me thinking: Since the Big Angry Demon Planet and Pals are pretty fundamental parts of the setting, I began to think: Since Malfeas is already noted as probably being bigger than Creation, what would happen to him if Creation was a galaxy?
Since the population is going to be bigger-a lot bigger-and the local sorcerers are going to need a steady supply of demons to summon and/or be corrupted by, he needs to still have that relative size discrepancy. Which means, he needs to be a galaxy too.
Now, while it's easy to imagine Cecelyne as the vast and empty regions of space beyond he brother's stars (barring the dying ones Orabilis makes when someone learns too much, which would be really cool to visit), and their siblings as various soft-scifi astrological phenomenon (Isidoros as a sapient black hole, Adorjan as the Silent Nebula, Szoreny doing his best Crystalline Entity impersonation, etc.), Malfeas himself is a bit harder to imagine.
Obviously, even the ability of Ligier to be in multiple places at once, he's still going to have a hard time being every sun, and the whole "crushes layers together to make room for new buildings" thing ain't quite as pretty when the "layers" are planetoids. This is the easy part, since now we get to the fact that many Demon Princes are places and the Descending Hierarchy's social structure...
Yeah, it's a bit of a mental limbo dance.
So, anyone got ideas on how to make the Demon City the Demon Cosmos?
