  • Autochthon's memorial to the siblings he betrayed, a hidden monument from which emanates the sound of all the regret and guilt he will never admit.
    It is the greatest tribute he could pay to those who were also great makers.
  • Daughter Of The Moon's island-mausoleum, which is populated only by seabirds and donated memories.
  • The description of Cold Silence Courier implies just how lonely an Alchemical must be to fall to the Void:
    No one has ever found her. Perhaps no one ever will.
  • The Hearteaters were once the Auroral Exalted, acting as The Muse to the others... and then they were twisted into the monsters they are now by their Incarna's murder and promptly betrayed by the other Exalted once the Primordials were beaten, and any poor sap who finds the bones of one ends up becoming one themselves.
  • The chillikin, a Servant Race of gentle, monkey-like creatures created to care for and love the children of the First Age Solars. They watched their charges—who were, remember, children—be slaughtered for their relation to the Solars, and those who weren't immediately killed themselves simply snapped from the trauma. The survivors now wander the world insane and alone, fruitlessly looking for Golden Children to bond with.
  • The 3e Sidereals books drives in just how much Arcane Fate sucks for those afflicted by it. One example Sidereal fought hard to be able to marry her love, only to be forgotten by her Dynast bride-to-be after Exalting on what was supposed to be their wedding day.
